I get a lot of jokes through email. Recently I've gotten several related to the riots in France. You know, the riots all over the news that describe "youths" that are setting fire to cars and buildings? The "youths" that no one ever mentions just happen to be Muslim?

I don't really wish these troubles on anyone, even the French. However, I have to believe they are reaping what they have sown. They have allowed massive numbers of African Muslims to immigrate into their country so that now they make up about 10% of the population. Rather than assimilate into European culture, they've essentially set up "little Algeria" and want Islam to rule in France, too.

But anyway, this is a humor post, not a rant (one of those will probably come later). I will mention they could easily stop this situation in just the same way they could have stopped the looting in New Orleans: shoot the bastards!

So anyway, read on for the two funny jokes I got today...

We'll start with the short one first:

AP and UPI reported today that the French government announced that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender". The raise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, thereby disabling its military.

Now for the longer one:

President Bush May Send Up To 5 Marines for French Assistance

President Bush has authorized the Joint Chiefs to begin drawing up a battle plan to pull France's ass out of the fire again. Facing an apparent overwhelming force of up to 400 pissed off teenagers Mr. Bush doubts France's ability to hold off the little pissants. "Hell, if the last two world wars are any indication, I would expect France to surrender any day now", said Bush.

Joint Chiefs head, Gen. Peter Pace, warned the President that it might be necessary to send up to 5 marines to get things under control. The general admitted that 5 marines may be overkill but he wanted to get the thing under control within 24 hours of arriving on scene.

He stated he was having a hard time finding even one marine to help those ungrateful bastards out for a third time but thought that he could persuade a few women marines to do the job before they went on pregnancy leave.

President Bush asked Gen. Pace to get our marines out of there as soon as possible after order was restored. He also reminded Gen. Pace to make sure the marines did not take soap, razors, or deodorant with them. The least they stand out the better.
