Melbourne Zoo had acquired a female of a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks, the gorilla became very cantankerous and difficult to handle. Upon examination, the zoo veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was on heat. To make matters worse, there were no male gorillas of the species available. While reflecting on their problem, the zoo management noticed Rick, a big Kiwi lad, who was responsible for fixing the zoo's machinery. Rick had little sense, but seemed to be possessed with ample ability to satisfy a female of ANY species. So, the zoo administrators thought they might have a solution. Rick was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to have sex with the gorilla for $500? Rick showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully. The following day, Rick announced that he would accept their offer, but on three conditions: "First," he said, "I don't want to have to kuss er." "I assure you, Rick - you will not have to kiss her" said the zoo manager. "Sicondly, you must never till anyone about this" said Rick. "I promise you, Rick" said the zoo manager. "Not one of us will ever breathe a word of this. Okay?" Rick merely nodded. When the silence lengthened and Rick seemed intent on avoiding his gaze, the zoo manager prompted: "and your third condition?" "Well," said Rick, "You gotta give me another wik to come up with the $500." ... .. . how high can you fly with broken wings ... life's a journey not a destination

PREGNANT A mother took her daughter to the doctor and asked him to give her an examination to determine the cause of her daughters swollen abdomen. It only took the doctor about 2 seconds to say “Gimme a break lady! Your daughter is pregnant.” The mother turned red with fury and she argued with the doctor that her daughter was a good girl and would never compromise her reputation by having sex with a boy. The doctor faced the window and silently watched the horizon. The mother became enraged and screamed, “Quit looking out the window! Aren’t you paying attention to me?” “Yes, of course I am paying attention ma’am. It’s just that the last time this happened, a star appeared in the East, and three wise men came.” ... .. . how high can you fly with broken wings ... life's a journey not a destination

When Ralph first noticed that his penis was growing larger and staying erect longer, he was delighted, as was his wife. After several weeks his penis had grown to nearly twenty inches. Ralph became quite concerned. He was having problems dressing and even walking, so he and his wife went to see a prominent urologist. After an initial examination, the Doctor explained to the couple that, though rare, Ralph's condition could be fixed through corrective surgery. "How long will Ralph be on crutches?" the wife asked anxiously. "Crutches? Why would he need crutches?" responded the surprised doctor. "Well," said the wife coldly, "you're planning on lengthening Ralph's legs, aren't you ... .. . how high can you fly with broken wings ... life's a journey not a destination

Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, and Cindy Crawford are flying to a super models conference in Paris, when the captain of the plane announces: "We have just lost power to the engines and are going to make an emergency crash landing - assume the brace position immediately!" The three models start preparing for the worst. Claudia pulls out lipstick and make-up and starts fixing her face. Bewildered, Naomi and Cindy ask: "What in the hell are you doing fixing your make-up when we are about to friggin' crash!" Claudia responds: "I know for a fact the rescue workers will search for, and save first, the ones who have the best looking faces - which is why I am putting on my make-up." Cindy Crawford rips open her blouse to expose two beautiful mounds of flesh which inexplicably defy the law of gravity. Totally confused, Naomi and Claudia shout: "Cindy, have you lost your senses? Why are you baring your breasts for everyone to see when we are about to die!" Cindy responds: "I have it on good authority in plane crashes, the rescue workers look to save first the women with big beautiful breasts - which is why I am exposing my tits!" Not hesitating, Naomi Campbell pulls down her skirt and panties to expose her love triangle. Freaking out, Claudia and Cindy yell: "Naomi - are you crazy?? Why are you exposing your crotch for everyone to see?" Calmly, Naomi responds: "Bitches, please! I know for a fact the first thing the rescue workers look for in plane crashes is a black box!" ... .. . how high can you fly with broken wings ... life's a journey not a destination

A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery were staring at a portrait that had them completely confused. The painting depicted three very black and totally naked men sitting on a park bench. Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle had a pink penis. The curator of the gallery realised that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his assessment. He went on for nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of African-Americans in a predominately white, patriarchal society. "In fact," he pointed out, "some serious critics believe that the pink penis also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society." After the curator left, a Scottish man approached the couple and said, "Would you like to know what the painting is really about?" "Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the gallery?" asked the couple. "Because I'm the guy who painted it," he replied. "In fact, there are no African-Americans depicted at all. They're just three Scottish coal-miners. The only difference is that the guy in the middle went home for lunch." ... .. . how high can you fly with broken wings ... life's a journey not a destination

The school inspector is assigned to the grade 4 class in one of the local schools. He is introduced to the class by the teacher. She says to the class "Let's show the inspector just how clever you are by allowing him to ask you a few questions". The inspector reasons that normally the day class starts with religious instruction, so he will ask a Bible question. He asks: "Class, who broke down the walls of Jericho?" For a full minute there is absolute silence. The children all stare at him blankly. Eventually, Sipho raises his hand. The inspector excitedly points to him. Sipho stands up and replies "Sir, I do not know who broke down the walls of Jericho, but I can assure you that it wasn't me." Of course the inspector is shocked at the answer and looks at the teacher for an explanation. Realising that he is perturbed, the teacher says "Well, I've known Sipho since the beginning of the year, and I believe that if he says that he didn't do it, then he didn't do it." The inspector is even more shocked at this and storms down to the principal's office and tells him what happened, to which the principal replies "I don't know the boy, but I socialise every now and then with his teacher, and I believe her. If she feels that the boy is innocent, then he must be innocent". The inspector can't believe what he is hearing. He grabs the phone on the principal's desk and in a rage dials the Minister of Education's telephone number and rattles off the entire occurrence to him and asks him what he thinks of this example of the standard of education in S.A. The Minister sighs heavily and replies: "I don't know the boy, the teacher nor the principal, but just get three quotes and have the wall fixed!!" ... .. . how high can you fly with broken wings ... life's a journey not a destination

BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER In summary, the police arrested Patrick Lawrence, 22 year old white male resident of Dacula, GA, in a pumpkin patch 11:38p.m. on Friday. Lawrence will be charged with lewd and lascivious behaviour, public indecency, and public intoxication at the Gwinnett County courthouse on Monday. The suspect explained that as he was passing a pumpkin patch when he decided to stop. "You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around here for miles. At least I thought there wasn't," he stated in a phone interview. Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purposes, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged "need". "Guess I was just really into it, you know?" he commented with evident embarrassment. In the process, Lawrence apparently failed to notice a Gwinnett County police car approaching and was unaware of his audience until Officer Brenda Taylor approached him. "It was an unusual situation, that's for sure," said Officer Taylor. "I walked up to (Lawrence) and he's... just working away at this pumpkin." Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Lawrence. "I just went up and said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realise that you are screwing a pumpkin?' He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then looked me straight in the face and said, 'A pumpkin? Damn... is it midnight already?'" ... .. . how high can you fly with broken wings ... life's a journey not a destination

Tx for all the info. Here in Switzerland you have go in a pressure chamber where they will simulate a high altitude scenario. At 9000 m/g it will take about 90 seconds before it gets critical.

I guess you might have missed an important statement I made earlier. I DO clearly distinguish between the American people and US politics - maybe I should write in german, would be easier to bring my point across, but nevermind. Fine so be it, but lets be fair, is there a difference between not doing it, but knowing that it's happening and not stopping it? And it was/is an Ally of yours for heavens sake that has to suffer because of it. This would be the same like if some Canadian groups are financing Bin Laden and the government knows about it but doesn't stop it. The US would be all over the canucks. So the US sponsors terrorism and do it here but not there. You will have to explain that one to me. When is it ok to finance terrorism? Unfortunately you just learned that it will backfire sooner or later and blow up in your backyard. ... .. . how high can you fly with broken wings ... life's a journey not a destination

Ok - let's be more precise about what I'm trying to say. Being happily married to an American for over 16 years I have grown to love America and the American people (this is no bullshit !) But where I will have a strong feeling against the US, is when the US government can tell me what I can do and what not. Who in the fucking hell gave the US justice the right to rule over what my country might have or might have not done during WWII? By getting blackmailed "you pay or we block all assets of your banks and " that is no way that the rights like "innocent until proven guilty" will apply. Yes my government didn't have the guts to stand tall and gave in before the facts came out. What was found was a joke in regards to the claims that stood against it. At least we gave back what belonged to someone else. It didn't happen in the States. All the looting that took place by US troops has not and will not be paid back to the Countries/people involved. Switzerland never had to ask the US for a favor and hopefully we will be able to support ourselves when ever needed. We are not perfect far from it, but we don't expect others to rule for us. And that is exactly what the US is doing. An example: Do you know, that if anybody outside the US wants to buy US equities, they have to let the IRS know who they are, because if they don't, they will lose 33 % of the sales proceed. Try to do the same thing in return and you're up for a hell of a ride. Go and check out all the trading issues that are being fought at the WTO. Look at the UN. Only if the UN will vote the way the US wants it to vote, they will not put a veto in, or they will just stop paying. If everybody would follow that pattern, the UN would be out of business within weeks. Yes all the old bad guys are gone (Russia etc) the enemy has a new invisible form and is a lot more dangerous than ever before, but still - before we're going to flatten something somewhere lets consider the possible outcome of our actions. We have dealt with terrorism in Europe for the last 30 years and still do and I'm sorry to say that some of these sick fucks where sponsored by the US (e.g. IRA in Ireland). So now you had the misfortune to get a brutal awakening to what we had to deal with for a long time. Welcome to the real world. Hey and Oklahoma? - Was that an outside or an inside job? You never had a war in your own country we had 2 within a very short amount of time and others at very close range. Yes the US has done great things for a lot of countries in this world, but then again they fucked a lot of them up pretty bad too. (Chile, Central America, Vietnam). This will get us nowhere unless we try to get to the root of the issue and that is RESPECT. We obviously can not expect someone who is starving in his hole to have any respect for us, if he knows that we are responsible, that he is starving and we won't do a damn thing about it because he is an enemy to our allies. There is a zero tolerance towards ANY criticism towards the US, but boy you can dish out against everybody and everything. That is not patriotism but blindness. Do I hate the US - no! Do I hate you - no! But I don't accept everything the US tries to feed me and wants me to do or not do and thats my right as a open minded non US citizen. Take it or stick it. This is nothing personal because if I could, I would sit right next to you on the next load and do a jump with you anytime, then talk some more about our various views on things. And that my friend is the beauty of the countries we both live in. The freedom to express ourselves and to live our dreams. go in peace and jump with joy ... .. . how high can you fly with broken wings ... life's a journey not a destination
