George W Bush goes to a primary school to talk about the war. After his talk he invites questions. One little boy puts up his hand, and the President asks him his name. "Billy!"
"And what is your question, Billy?"
"I have three questions," says the boy.
"First - why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?; Second - why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?; and Third - whatever happened to Osama bin Laden?"
Just then the bell rings for recess. George W Bush informs the children that they will continue after recess. When they resume, the President says: "Okay where were we? Oh that's right, question time. Who has a question?" A different little boy puts his hand, George points him out and asks his name. "Steve!"
"And what is your question, Steve?"
"I have five questions: First - why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?; Second - why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?; Third - whatever happened to Osama bin Laden?; Fourth - why did the recess bell go 20 minutes early?; and Fifth - what happened to Billy?"

Three Texas surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in Texas. A concert pianist lost 7 fingers in an accident, so I reattached them, and 8 months later he gave a private concert for the Queen of England."
One of the others bragged: "That's nothing. A young man lost both arms and legs in an accident. I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in field events in the Olympics."
The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a cowboy who was high on cocaine and alcohol rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the horse's ass and a cowboy hat. Now he's president of the United States."

With apologies if this is posted elsewhere on the site ....!
Here's a dilemma for you.... With all your honour and dignity what would you do? This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is
important for the test to work accurately.
You're in Bristol.. There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a very high tide, hurricane force winds and severe floods. There are huge masses of water all rising around you. Now you are a BBC photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destructive power and it's ripping everything apart .
Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar. Suddenly you know who it is - it's Tony Blair our 'leader'! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life - one that could perhaps win you a Pulitzer prize for displaying the death of one of the world's most recognizable men.
And here's the question (please think carefully and please give an honest answer):
Would you select colour film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?
