Something Undeniably clever but now forgotten

One day I will learn and overcome Blogger's habit of losing posts. Until then I will suffer the ignominy of writing posts twice. Damn Blogger...
I just got back from a two day field problem which was as I am told it always is in Korea this time of year. I would like to thank God that I am a medic because my job was to sit in a warm FLA (Field Line Ambulance) and treat soldiers for cold weather injuries, rather than run around in the weather and develop cold weather injuries.
I have no stories about soldiers enthusiastically trading body fluids this week so I will leave you with this, a forwarded email I found in my inbox this morning. Once again I would like to thank all those people out in Georgia for the following material. (I love North Carolina and Kansas too but I haven't heard from them in a while.)

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THIS SATURDAY

AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, IT IS A SIN FOR A TALIBAN MALE TO SEE ANY WOMAN
OTHER THAN HIS WIFE NAKED, AND THAT HE MUST COMMIT SUICIDE IF HE DOES.

SO THIS SATURDAY AT 4 P.M. EASTERN TIME ALL AMERICAN WOMEN ARE ASKED TO WALK
OUT OF THEIR HOUSE COMPLETELY NAKED TO HELP WEED OUT ANY NEIGHBORHOOD
TERRORISTS.

CIRCLING YOUR BLOCK FOR ONE HOUR IS RECOMMENDED FOR THIS ANTI-TERRORIST
EFFORT.

ALL MEN ARE TO POSITION THEMSELVES IN LAWN CHAIRS IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE TO
PROVE THEY ARE NOT TALIBAN, AND TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY THINK ITS OKAY TO
SEE NUDE WOMEN OTHER THAN THEIR WIFE AND TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR ALL AMERICAN
WOMEN.

AND SINCE THE TALIBAN ALSO DOES NOT APPROVE OF ALCOHOL, A COLD 6-PACK AT
YOUR SIDE IS FURTHER PROOF OF YOUR ANTI-TALIBAN SENTIMENT.

THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT APPRECIATES YOUR EFFORTS TO ROOT OUT TERRORISTS AND
APPLAUDS YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS ANTI-TERRORIST ACTIVITY.

GOD BLESS AMERICA.

IT IS YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO PASS THIS ON.

God Bless America indeed.

Just for kicks, here's the story of a former Royal Marine hiking through Britain in the nude.
