11 Mary Landrieu, La. Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.'' I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''
12 A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York ..'' I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?'' 'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man. After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere." ''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!'' So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo , do you?'' The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''
Now you know why the Government is in the shape it's in!
Could ANYONE be this DUMB? YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.
A DC 'airport ticket agent' offers some examples of 'WHY' our country is in trouble!
1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)
2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts ..'' Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Cape Town is in South Africa .'' His response -- click..
3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, 'Don't lie to me!, I looked on the map, and Florida is a very THIN state!!''
4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?'' I said, ''No.'' She said, ''But they look so close on the map''
5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas .. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas... When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)
6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.
7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?' He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..
8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''
9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?'' I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''
10 Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?'' I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane. She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''
I just can't stand it when people tell you they are going to do something promise they will take care of it and dont follow through. I guess being from the south and my parents raised me with older triditions and values. "A man is only as good as his word" is a statement I heard a lot growing up this statement also can be applied to women as well. If you tell someone you will do something or you promise something to someone I expect you to follow through. Honesty is the best way even if hurst someones feeling better they know now then later.
OH LOOK DUDE HAS CREATED YET ANOTHER THREAD LETTING US ALL KNOW HOW MUCH HE IS IN LOVE WITH OBAMA. HEY GAY DUDE SEE IF HE WILL MOVE TO YOUR COUNTRY AND MARRY YOU
It was like time stood still. I remember thinking wow what a pretty little angel at that point I knew the instant feeling of a mother's un-explainable unconditional love was.
So there is now a total of three states where these birds have fallen dead out of the sky. Its happening to often in differnt locations to be fireworks. I wonder what the specialist will blame it on next.
ok to all thoes writers on here. If you wrote a poem or short story about someone that inspired you would you share it with them or would you keep it to your self.
I am dealing with the exact same thing with a guy I have been talking to. I got tired of it so I just told him tonight that I do not know what he wants from me that I am going on and doing my own thing he knows where I live and how to get in touch with me when he honestly decides what he wants. We have known each other for years our families have been friends for 20+years.
WHO CARES WHAT IN THE HELL YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE GOOD OLD USA. IF YOUR SO CONCERNED WITH WHAT IS GOING ON HERE GET OFF YOU BUTT AND MOVE.
Why is it when we get hurt in a relationship we put up this imaginary guard around our self like if we talk to someone or try to trust someone we will get hurt again. I know I have been there and it is such a sad shell all by your self. I have a really good friend who is in his shell right now I am really worried about him.
Help Guys what gets you out of this shell when a woman breaks your heart and your trust?
Yes I am sure if he has one hospital worthy wreck there are several people that will make that thing dissapear with out a trace. Things get misplaced all the time right.
the first military man (ARMY) I dated for almost three years. that last year was pure HELL. The way he treated people was beyond abusive.
The second military man (Retired NAVY) we are getting to know each other again. after him being gone for TOO long. He has been a perfect gentleman layed back he says what he thinks but refuses to argue about anything. he is great with my daughter first guy I have had over to the house she actually wanted to spend time with.
