brucewayne 0 #1 March 18, 2003 You are the President of the United States. Scientists have discovered a meteor that is headed towards the earth. They have calculated that it will strike France in 2 days, at approximately 2:30 A.M. The meteor is large enough to completely wipe France from the face of the earth forever. France and the United Nations have requested that the United States send all available ships and aircraft to help evacuate the country. Among the ships and planes you could be sending are many that are being used to fight the war on terror overseas. As the President, you must decide: Do you stay up late on the night of the impact to watch the coverage live, or tape it and watch it in the morning?

Jib 0 #3 March 18, 2003 If it's big enough to wipe out France, it will probably get all of us and the tidal wave will get all the ships around. So, we send all the planes we can to evacuate England and Spain. Now, if it's magically, limited to France, we just fly them to Iraq, where they'll be safe. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

mountainman 0 #7 March 18, 2003 I dont think I'd watch it. I would probably have to set my TiVo and watch Friends. Maybe it would be padded with all the white flags laying around since the 40's and it would just roll into the Atlantic. http://www.brandonandlaura.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,150 #9 March 18, 2003 When it comes to vilifying France, Americans are rank amateurs. You need to study the way the Brits have been doing it for the last 900 years....
