RE: What makes you smile?
Andy_Shofar:
I have to pinch myself a bit It sobers me up Since it reminds me a little of 9-11 I knew a couple from NJ on one of the planes But the joke is funny
Glad you found it funny...but I know what you mean. A friend of mine (actually a fishing buddy) lost his fiance' on the first plane (the American Airlines jet) to hit the WTC. We all worked for the same company - which I just left this past August. In fact the company (TJX, parent company of TJ MAXX, Marshalls, Homegood, etc...TK Maxx and Winners for those of you in Britain and Canada) lost seven women on that plane - most of them were buyers heading to CA for a buyers convention. The person I knew was marrying my friend in October of that year. I had the third week scheduled off for vacation, which I was going to spend out on Martha's Vineyard...but cancelled all plans to spend time with my friend...Sadly, I had a dream that I honestly feel was about 9/11 just a couple of days prior, but I've already posted the details many times over - so I'll spare you guys yet another rendition But anyway, you can google the young lady's name (Linda George) and you get many 'hits' describing hers and the other woman's stories In the meantime, my brother, who is a NYPD (actually now a detective) had to work the scene that morning and was in the area when the buildings collapsed...and we didn't hear from him in 2 days. Fortunately he was ok. Later on, he seemed to develop some lung issues, but apparently he's going to be fine from that.... Sorry this is in the 'what makes you smile' thread - but Andy struck a poignant chord to where I just had to...um...react <<<there, a smiley at the end

RE: What makes you smile?
Two men dressed in pilot's uniforms walk up the aisle. Both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a little practical joke. None is forthcoming. The plane moves faster and faster down the runway, and the people sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport territory. As it begins to look as though the plane will plow into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin. At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good hands. In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says, "You know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die."

Of course!! Rich didn't you know you are my next person to pass?? I can't wait for the night I am on my last 100 to get to you.
A few weeks ago, I thought I had 10K in my sights...but I can't get from 8300 to 8400 I think I pondered too long in some other thread I shouldn't have been in

My vote for the YouTube video with the most misleading title...it's basically 2 minutes of 2 dogs playing with each other - and wait until you see the title :
