"The difference between a misquito and a lawyer: a misquito is a blood-sucking parasite, a lawyer is a blood-sucking parasite with a briefcase." - Unknown, I heard it somewhere but cannot remember.

A Churchill favorite:

woman, commenting on Churchill's table manners: "If you were MY husband, I'd put poison in your tea."
Churchill: "If I were your husband, I'd drink it."

That is a great one.

Now for something really really obscure...although with having kids Mikey might actually recognize it. Remember I was still just barely a teenager when Zenon: Girl of the 21st century came out. But it happened to be the only good thing on at the moment and then I looked it up on imdb which I tend to do with any movie I'm watching when I'm on the computer. Anyway, out of the three movies in that series this is all I found for good...well half decent quotes.


Mr. Windom: I refuse to engage in a name-calling contest with a teenager.
Zenon: That's because you know you'll lose!

Zenon Kar: Not now, Numbar. I'm gonna be too busy saving the world. *again*. (What hero hasn't wanted to say that?)

Also while I'm bringing up Disney Channel movies here are a few lines from pixel perfect. This was a surprisingly good Disney Channel movie, despite the highly implausible storyline. For once, the characters actually have some depth and deal with serious relational issues. This is also the first Disney Channel movie in several years where the main characters are older than middle-school age (Roscoe actually drives!), which may be part of the reason for the unusual depth of the material. Also above average(for this kind of production) special effects and really good songs(plural) which is rare in these types of production as well. Wouldn't say it's a buy, but if it happens to be on and there isn't anything decent on, and you're into AI type sci-fi stories(like me) it might be worth a watch.

Loretta Modern: [after Samantha reaches to see that Loretta is just a hologram]
Loretta Modern: You're in my liver.

Samantha: She's just a trick of light.
Loretta Modern: And you're nothing but water and a few pounds of chemicals! Maybe a few more pounds than you *really need.*
Samantha: It's not fair! I can't even smack her

Loretta Modern: Are you saying you love her because of her imperfections?
Roscoe: Yes! Because of everything she is, and everything she's not

Samantha: [to Roscoe about Loretta] Admit it, you're in love with her. Why wouldn't you be? You created her. She's perfect. There's only one problem... SHE'S NOT REAL!

for one of my fav. quotes, check my sig. (please tell me someone knows where it's from!)

Thanks, all by Yanks too. Their pilots apparently require remedial training on target identification.

Wow. Seperate incidents even?

"I understand that scientists are now using lawyers instead of rats in their scientific experiments. They do this for two reasons. One: the scientists become less attached to the lawyers. And, two: there are certain things that even rats won't do."
--Peter Banning; Hook

Wow. Seperate incidents even?

Yep, The most recent involved an A-10 which strafed an entire Company of infantryman who were burning their garbage. The pilot didn't check his targeting pod display you see and mistook them for a Taliban group. He injured thirty and killed four outright.

What happens to the pilot in a situation like that?

[Mikey]

A couple of Air National Guard pilots shot up a high school in NJ on a training excercise a few years back - nobody was hurt, thankfully, but the school still has cannon rounds in it - and unfortunately the ONLY thing that was done to the pilots was removing them from the position of "pilot."

[Aaron]

What happens to the pilot in a situation like that?

In the first incident in 2002, the pilot got a reprimand and confined to a desk for the rest of his career. He's ANG so it really doesn't mean much, he still gets paid when he's on duty and he's probably a civvie airline pilot to boot.

The latest one I believe got off because the Yanks managed to pin part of the blame on us not having IR beacons. Of course if we had the money we'd have them, maybe they should give them to us? It feels like being a rape victim, "hey I know you got raped but if you hadn't been wearing that dress it wouldn't have happened"

Wait, are you saying we should be responsible for the safety of your forces in addition to ours?

[Aaron]

Wait, are you saying we should be responsible for the safety of your forces in addition to ours?

You are responsible for the safety of your allies on the battlefield, war isn't a fucking free for all. As much as certain parties wish it to be. Even if your not, failing to check your targeting pod before engaging a target violates SOP. Which means he was negligant. Negligance causing death is a very serious crime, if he was a civvie he'd be rotting in prison right now.

I was actually refering to your suggestion that we give you IR beacons on our bill. Come to think of it why didn't you have IR beacons?
