Five cannibals were employed by the Navy as translators during one of the island campaigns of World War II. When the Commanding Admiral of the task force welcomed the cannibals he said, "You're all part of our team now. We will compensate you well for your services, and you can eat any of the rations that the Sailors are eating. So please do not indulge yourselves by eating a Sailor."
The cannibals promised.

Four weeks later, the Admiral returned and said, "You're all working hard, and I'm very satisfied with every one of you. However, one of our Chief Petty Officers has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to him?"
The cannibals all shook their heads.
After the Admiral left, the leader of the cannibals turned to the others and said, "Which of you idiots ate the Chief?"
A hand raised hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals replied, "You idiot! For four weeks we've been eating Midshipmen, Lieutenants, Lieutenant Commanders, Commanders, and even one Captain, and no one noticed a thing. And then YOU had to go and eat a Chief!"

Sunday Tithe

.

I love shellfish but when I eat it I risk a gout attack. I celebrated the 4th with crab cakes and mussels now my toe is slightly red and swollen. Sigh. Well if does blow up on me I'll be able to post a toe photo that will rival T's.

Good God man! Have you no shame! Seriously , I hope that you feel better. It really bites to have to give up the foods we love.

Spending the afternoon fixing the first of my wife's laptops. The second one she dropped on the floor yesterday and broke the LCD screen.

Don't admire me. She's the one with her life on the line.

Having your life on the line can be an exhilarating experience...

She will be in our prayers for her safety and her mission...I guess I should say for her mission and her safety but we are human after all.
