You could have heard a pin drop
When in England , at a fairly large conference,
Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq
were just an example of empire building' by George Bush.
He answered by saying, 'Over the years
the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women
into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders
The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enoug
to bury those that did not return.'
You could have heard a pin drop.

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers
were taking part, including French and American
During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying
'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done
He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims
Whatdoes he intended to do, bomb them?
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly
'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people;
they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities;
they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day
they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day
and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims
and injured to and from their flight deck.
We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?'
You could have heard a pin drop.

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals
from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies
At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officer
that included personnel from most of those countries
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks
but a French admiral suddenly complained that,
whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English.
He then asked,
'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conference
rather than speaking French?
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replie
'Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans
arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'
You could have heard a pin drop.

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on
'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previousl
Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.
The American said, ''The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it
'Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France
'The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look.
Then he quietly explained
''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country,
I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.'
You could have heard a pin drop.

A Russian woman married a Canadian gentleman and they lived happily ever after in Toronto. The poor lady was not very proficient inEnglish,
but did manage to communicate with her husband. The realproblem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries.
One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy chicken legs.
She didn't know how to put forward her request, and in desperation
clucked like a chicken and lifted up her skirt to show her thighs
Her butcher got the message, and gave her the chicken legs.
Next day she needed to get chicken breasts, again she didn't knowhow to say it,
and so she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned herblouse to show the butcher her breasts. The butcher understood again, and gave her some chicken breasts.
On the 3rd day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages. Unable to finda way to communicate this, she brought her husband to the store...
What were you thinking?
Hellooooooo, her husband speaks English!
