Old, but worth re-hashing

[J.O.]

The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings and bomb threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved'. Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.

Terrorists have been re-categorised from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance". The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the Great Fire of 1666.

Also, the French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate". The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

It's not only the English and French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "shout loudly and excitedly" to "elaborate military posturing". Two more levels remain "ineffective combat operations" and "change sides".

The Germans also increased their alert state from "disdainful arrogance" to "dress in uniform and sing marching songs". They have two higher levels: "invade a neighbour" and "lose".

Three men strike up a conversation in the airport lounge in Calgary,

while awaiting their respective flights. One is an American Indian, another

is a Cowboy and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student.

Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two

Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the

conversation falls into an uneasy lull.

Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly says, "At

one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."

The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my

people were few and now we are many," he sneers.

"Why do you suppose that is?"

The Alberta cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and

from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl,

"That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet,

but I do believe it's comin'."

Lets hope sooner then later. One well placed nuke would modifiy alot of attitudes in Tehran.

Perhaps but one should not lose sight of the fact that the folks you are talking about feel the same way but identify quite different city codes.
