Study the below picture.

Several things stand out about the subject of the photograph.

This test will check your military powers of observation.

Snark of the Century

...maybe the Millennium!

Newt Gingrich:

"As an American, I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials"

Air Force humor

...from a retired USAF troop (not this troop):

AIR  FORCE  INTELLIGENCE

 

There is no doubt in my military mind that, of all the Services, the Air

Force has the most intelligent enlisted people.  This is not just a theory,

it's a provable fact:

 

Take the Army, for instance.  When the stuff hits the fan, the young Army

private wakes up from a bellow from the First Sergeant.  He grabs a set of

BDUs out of his foot locker, gets dressed, runs down to the chow hall for a

breakfast on the run, then jumps in his tank.  Pretty soon, the Platoon

Commander arrives, gives him a snappy salute, and says "Give 'em Hell,

men."

 

Now take the Marines.  When the stuff hits the fan, the young Marine

Recruit is kicked out of bed by his First Sergeant, puts on a mussy set of BDUs

because he just got back in from the field three hours before.  He gets no

breakfast, but is told to feel free to chew on his boots.  He runs out and

forms up with his rifle and platoon.  Pretty soon, his platoon commander

comes out, a young Captain, gives his Marines a sharp salute, and says,

"Give  'em Hell Marines!"

 

Now take the Navy.  When the stuff hits the fan, the young Sailor is eating

breakfast in the galley.  He walks 20 feet to his battle station, stuffing

extra pastries in his pockets as he goes.  There he sits, in the middle of

a steel target, with nowhere to run, when the Captain comes on the 1MC and

says, "Give 'em Hell, Sailors!  I salute you!"

 

Now the Air Force.  When the stuff hits the fan, the Airman receives a

Phone call in his off-base quarters.  He gets up, showers, shaves, and puts on a

fresh uniform he had just picked up at the BX cleaners the day before.  He

jumps in his car, and stops at McDonalds for a McMuffin on his way into

work.  Once he arrives at work, he signs in on the duty roster and proceeds to

his F-16.  He spends 30 minutes pre-flighting it, signs off the forms.  Pretty

soon the Pilot, a young Captain, comes out and straps into the plane.  He

starts the engines.  Our young Airman stands at attention, gives the

Captain a sharp salute, and says, "Give 'em Hell, Sir!"

Cowboy humor

Well, my lumbar spine issues have laid me low for now, but the blog must go on, so here's a cute cowboy joke sent me by retired LEO buddy:

A Montana cowboy was sun bathing naked at the beach.

 

For the sake of civility, and to keep it from getting sunburned, he had his 10 gallon hat over his private parts.

A woman walks past and says, snickering, "If you were a gentleman you'd lift your hat."

He raised an eyebrow and replied, "If you were better looking, it would lift itself."

Don't mess with cowboys, they're snark-proof.

Muir's best so far

...portraying the Obama Cabal as the principals in Louis 14th's reign.

Excellent drawing to go with the wit.

The rest of the Sunday funnies will be a disappointment, I'm sure.

I guess it's time to donate to Chris, as soon as I can figure out how to do it without PayPal, which I refuse to use after they cut off Soldier's Angels at the knees just because a certain gunblogger we all know was hosting a gun raffle to pump up SA's coffers. Anyone have any clues on how to get some bux to Chris without going thru Paypal?

Flight attendant rap

Hilarious! The OTHER Deputy/Major is in fine form today!

Enjoy the brilliance.

Monday Humor for the Ides of June

Yes, it's political. Sorry, RivrSis.

Three surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in California. In my favorite case, a concert pianist lost several fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England."

The second surgeon from, Nebr., said, "That's nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident, I reattached them and two years later he won a gold medal in track and field events at the Olympics."

The third surgeon, a Texan, said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a woman was high on drugs and she rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the woman's hair and the horse's ass. I was able to put them together and now she's Speaker of the House."

Perfect proof that not ALL WW2 vets have gone soft in the head. Thanks, Jim.

I was watching a re-run of Huckabee's show on FoxNews last night.

He was referring to Obama and he made a classic comment on Leadership. I didn't write it down, but it went like this:

"If you think you are a leader and you look behind you and there's no one there, you aren't leading, you're just taking a walk."

Have a VERY nice day!

"Battle Hymn of the Baby Boomers"

Gut-bust Warning!

Get that coffin ready, you WILL die laughing!

Play the movie.

H/T to the Coyote Kid, out in SD.

Boomershoot dinner suggestion

The Boomershoot dinner was well organized, almost.

The part that was left out was a classy way to get from the ranch up in the hills down into Orofino for the dinner. Anybody can drive a truck, but...

The Old Ahsahka Grade Road would be perfect for this.

Oh.My.Farging.God!

I watched that video twice, and I still don't know how my ribs survived the laff attack.

Redneck blog in the UK

Strange place for one, in the Daily Telegraph's pages, of all places.

But, you GOTTA go there and read the story on April 20 entitled Kids and Archery.

No offense, PawPaw, but why did I think of you when I read this?

Ah well, maybe some day I will write of my own explosive experiments from my now-distant youth.
