Joke Of The Day: Stupid Wives

Rubber Chicken An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman are in a bar discussing how stupid their wives are.

The English man says: You know my wife must be the most stupid woman on this planet. There was a sale down at the supermarket last week, she bought $300 worth of meat, and we don’t even have a freezer.

The Scotsman says: That’s nothing, my wife went out last week and bought a brand new car for $8000, and she can’t even drive.

The Irishman says: You think that’s stupid, I went home last week and my wife told me that she’d booked herself a two-week holiday in Tenerife. I watched her packing her case and she took nearly 400 condoms with her, and she doesn’t even have a penis.

Red Coats: A Little Known Historical Fact

A Little Known Historical Fact About The Red Coats


Aren’t facts interesting?

Why did the British wear red coats in battle?

During the recent royal wedding, the millions around the world saw that Prince William chose to wear a uniform that included the famous British “red coat.”

Many people have asked, “Why did the British wear red coats in battle?”

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle, the French captured a British Colonel. They took him to their headquarters and the French General began to question him.

Finally, as an afterthought, the French General asked, “Why do you British officers all wear red coats?

Don’t you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?”

In his casual, matter-of-fact, way, the officer informed the General that the reason British officers wear red coats is so that if they are wounded, the blood won’t show, …and the men they are leading won’t panic.

And that’s why, from that day forward, all French Army officers wear brown trousers….

So – now you know a little known historical fact.

British sniper kills six Taliban with single shot

Achievement unlocked!

A British sniper in Afghanistan killed six Taliban insurgents with a single shot from his rifle.

The unidentified 20-year-old Lance Corporal made the 930-yard shot in Kakaran last December during a gun battle with 15 to 20 insurgents. He fired a single round from his L115A3 rifle, striking the trigger device of a suicide bomber, killing the bomber and five other nearby Taliban, Telegraph reports.

Lt. Col. Richard Slack, commanding officer of 9/12 Royal Lancers, recounted the event.

“The guy was wearing a vest. He was identified by the sniper moving down a tree line and coming up over a ditch,” said Slack. “He had a shawl on. It rose up and the sniper saw he had a machine gun. They were in contact and he was moving to a firing position. The sniper engaged him and the guy exploded. There was a pause on the radio and the sniper said, ‘I think I’ve just shot a suicide bomber.’ The rest of them were killed in the blast.”

The sniper is said to have averted mass casualties, as a second suicide bomb vest packed with 44 pounds of explosives was discovered nearby.

The same sniper earlier killed a Taliban machine-gunner from 1,465 yards. It was the first round he fired during the course of his tour.
