Enemy Info

"Enemy Info"*

*During the second Gulf War, I was an Air Force colonel.

I routinely flew on different aircraft to familiarize
myself with their capabilities. One day I was aboard
an intelligence aircraft where each crew member
was surrounded by complex gear.

A young major showed me his computer screen.

 "That's a chat screen, Sir," the soldier said. "We
use it to relay enemy information to the crew-like
instant messaging."

Nodding, I moved down the line.

Flashing on an airman's screen several feet away was
this warning: "Heads up! The colonel's on the way!"

"Bad Visibility"*

*A man was driving down a country road when it
begins to snow heavily. His windows fog up, and
his wiper blades are badly worn and soon fall apart.

The man can't see out of the front of his car anymore
and he can't continue to drive, so he stops the car.

He gets out and starts to turn over large rocks on the
side of the road. Finally he finds two frozen snakes. He
 straightens them out and sticks them flat onto his
blades, and they work just fine.

What? Haven't you ever heard of 'wind-chilled vipers'?
