This is one room of several stashes of dollars. Like in hundred dollar bills.
I am like definitly in the wrong line of work.
From Sawmill
Trooper Alan Huthwaite, 1st Australian Lighthorse, at No 1 Outpost,
August 1915. Huthwaite, described as 'an old soldier' of Goulburn,
New South Wales, died, aged 50, in Egypt on 5 November 1917.
He is buried in the Kantara War Memorial cemetery. (AWM C02735)
New Direction for the war on terrorists.
"Send Prior Service Vets over 60 "I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. (You can't be older than 42 to join the military.)
They've got the whole thing backwards. Instead of sending 18-year-olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.
For starters:
Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 addi tional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.
Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. "My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry!" We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.
An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m.
Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, "I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch.
If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.
Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we like soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.
They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training. I can hear the Drill Sgt. now, "Get down and giv e me ... er ... one."
Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.
An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl.
He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head. These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way.
Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten bastards who attacked us on September 11. The last thing an enemy would want to see right now is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.
If nothing else, put us on the border and we will have it secured the first night.Add to Technorati Favorites
JohnBoy now has to sleep with his Bike.
Johnboy said he goes to goes to do the wild thing with his ol lady when she say's, "can't you just hold me tonight"
He's like, "what???"
She says, "Your just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man. Can't you just love me for who I am and not for what I do for you as a man?"
So Johnboy said the next day he took her out and bought her a big fancy lunch and let drink as much beer as she wanted. Then he took her down to the Harley shop and let her try n several new Leather Jackets. When she couldn't decide which one she wanted he says, " get all three".
Then they looked at Boots and she couldn't figure which pair would fit all three jackets so he tells her, "Darlin, just get a different pair of boots for each Jacket."
When we walked by the expensive Harley jewelry he says, she stopped and admired this new 14k gold chain bracelet design. She looked at me and I just said "get it", he says.
He said he could tell she was already getting cranked just from the shopping, when she said, "this is enough dear, lets go to the cashier and pay."
His response, "no honey, I just want you to hold this stuff for awhile. Your just not in touch with my financial needs as man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." Then he adds, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"
Johnboy been sleepin with his bike the past few days.Add to Technorati Favorites
Georgia Alert relating to Custom Motorcycles and Cars

Subject: FULL THROTTLE - MEETING 7pm Tonight - A little snow not keeping us down
Our MEETING TONIGHT FOR MOTORCYCLE REGISTRATION ISSUES *** JANUARY 17TH - 7PM - FAT CATS, 2523 VETERANS MEMORIAL HWY - AUSTELL, GA
It looks like the weather cooperated.
CALL EVERYONE YOU KNOW & ASK THEM TO BE THERE!
THIS IS ABOUT ALL CUSTOM AND/OR KIT MOTORCYCLES AND NOW WE HAVE HEARD... CARS!!!
In this day and age we are all busy. IT IS PRETTY DISHEARTENING for me to place calls to those that this really affects the most and have them say they forgot about the meeting. Several areas of my business have been put on hold so I can assist in this effort. I haven't even been able to return some calls to employees and business associates because I'm tied up on the phone doing what little I can to defend our right to own, build and ride our motorcycles. We are where we are in part because of apathy and now the very issues we've warned you about are hitting us right in the face. Don't get wrong, I am not saying that this is something that I don't want to be doing. Quite the contrary, this is something I'm quite passionate about and do feel that as a result of my job that it is also part of my responsibility to the motorcycle community. BUT, I (meaning FULL THROTTLE) can't do it without the involvement of the motorcycle community and others that are concerned about the total destruction of the principles of freedom that built this country. Off of my soapbox now - WE NEED YOUR HELP and you can start by attending tonight so that we can put together an effective plan to move forward.
Here is what we've learned lately. It now appears that the issue does not revolve around EPA but is about Federal Hwy Safety Standards. A State Inspector has even said that all kit cars and motorcycles will not be issued titles. Apparently all counties have not been informed yet but will be soon. This is going to continue to snowball into a major problem.
FEB 12th - RIDE TO THE CAPITAL FOR ALL MOTORCYCLE ENTHUSIASTS - RIDE WILL STAGE AT HARLEY-DAVIDSON OF ATLANTA - THE TIME IS STILL BEING COORDINATED WITH THE CAPITOL AND POLICE ESCORTS. You took off work to see John Travolta and Martin Lawrence for the Wild Hogs movie promotion. We need you to take a few hours on the 12th for your right to ride. This is about making your legislators aware that you live, you ride and you vote in GA and that you care about how they vote for you.
FOR NOW, This link makes it very easy to find your government representatives:
http://www.congress.org/congressorg/state/main/?state=GA&view=myofficials#0
Folks this is a very simple way for you to be part of the process. Punch in your zip code to find your reps. Then pick up the phone and call them. Most are unaware of the problem.
Tell them that you are aware and concerned that your State government is revoking existing titles and tags of custom built bikes and that it appears to be a misinterpretation of the law. Tell them you a motorcyclists, that you vote and that you are very concerned about what this State is doing that affects your overall freedom to build and ride the type of motorcycle of your choosing. Keep it brief and to the point. Be sure to thank them kindly for their time and their help. Follow up by sending a fax, letter or postcard. Postcards are recommended because of anthrax concerns.
Make a separate call and send a separate letter for each issue. The more separate calls and letters the better.Add to Technorati Favorites
