The guy, not wanting to pass up this unique opportunity, obviously did not have any whips on hand, but in a flash of inspiration, opens the window snaps the aerial off his van and proceeds to whip the girl until they both collapse in sadomasochistic ecstasy.
About a week later, the girl notices that the marks left by the whipping session are starting to fester a bit so she goes to the doctor. The doctor takes one look at the wounds and asks, "Did you get these marks having sex?"
The girl is a little embarrassed but admits that, yes, she did.
Nodding his head knowingly the doctor exclaims, "I thought so, because in all my years of doctoring this is the worst case of van aerial disease that I've ever seen"

Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster the boss asked, "Is your Daddy home?"
"Yes," whispered the small voice.
"May I talk with him?" the man asked.
To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, "No." Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?"
"Yes", came the answer.
"May I talk with her?"
Again the small voice whispered, "No".
Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person who should be there watching over the child. "Is there anyone there besides you?" the boss asked the child.
"Yes" whispered the child, "A policeman."
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?"
"No, he's busy," whispered the child.
"Busy doing what?" asked the boss.
"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the fireman," came the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the ear piece on the phone the boss asked, "What is that noise?"
"A hello-copper," answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on there?" asked the boss, now alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team just landed the hello-copper."
Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little frustrated, the boss asked, "Why are they there?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle, "They're looking for me."

The chemist replied, "Son, do you know what condoms are used for?"
"Sure do. They keep you from getting venereal diseases."
The chemist was impressed. "That's right, son. Do you know what the ribs are for?"
Dubya paused and then answered, "Well, not really, but they sure do make the hair on my goat's back stand up."

Good way to kill a few hours at work
They pull a car off the road and congratulate the driver for wearing his seatbelt. One policeman asks the driver what he would do with the money.
"Well," the man began, "I think I'll go to driving school and get my license."
"Don't listen to him," the woman next to him complained. "He always talks like that when he's drunk."
Then, a man in the back woke up and yawned, "I knew we wouldn't get far in a stolen car."
Suddenly, a knock in the back trunk sounded. A Mexican voice asked, "Are we over the border yet?"

OK, so in the next month or so I'll be ditching 56 K (for the second and hopefully last time). Comments, please, on Speakeasy. Worth the large premium over ADSL? Please list your Speakeasy plan (384, whatever the next one is, or 1.1 Mbps) and whether it's enough speed for you, whether you wish you'd gotten a different plan, overall satisfaction level about service and customer support. Thanks in advance.

As Trove so eloquently put it, "The charm of this mod is that you never know what killed you."
The maps are just too small for such powerful, fast moving vehicles and they turn into super-spam-fests with the F16s and helis. (The large desert maps are an exception) Maybe if much larger maps were created just for this mod it could be fun, but I fail to see the enjoyment of this mod in it's current state :(
yeah, i know it's a 0.2 release but I get to think it's not fun anyway!

Bite
Long strong fangs strike vertically like snakes. Bite and stay. Male venom more toxic, severe effects, sometimes death (without antivenom); no deaths recorded from bite of females. Muscular trembling a symptom of bite.
