I had to buy one of those new energy savings bulbs yesturday. On the front it said it was a 10 year bulb. On the back it said it was if you use it only 3 hours per day. The only place it would be a 10 year bulb would be if it was stuck in the bathroom.
I heard a new quote:
Interviewer: “What do you think goes through a Taliban’s mind when he sees an Apache (helicopter).”
British Apache co-pilot: “Hopefully a 30 mm bullet.”
