1) Why don`t we have base operators like we use to that knew everyone on base and that the guy you wanted was actually playing footy today and try his mate on blah extension instead ?

2) Why don`t loadies carry the imprest ?

3) Why is it the Mess only has a spare room when you ask for a F95 ?

4) Why isn`t STARS on the net ?

Any more ?

Well, it's on the station intranet here (secret wilts airfield) , which serves its purpose. I guess if it was on the internet it would cause all sorts of problems with the feds, etc !

The earth IS flat - according to Prof Hawking, it's the rest of the universe that's curved.

1) If the black box flight recorder never gets destroyed in a plane crash, why don't they make the whole plane out of the same stuff?

2) If little girls is made of sugar and spice and all things nice, how comes they smell of fish?

3) Why, when you know 300 of these things, can you only think of two at any one time?

If Man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him ... is he still wrong?

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

Why do they lock petrol station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?

If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?

Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

If you ate pasta and antipasto, would you still be hungry?

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

Why is there a best before date on sour cream?

If you spin an oriental man in a circle three times, does he become disoriented?

Thank you! That's a few more of them accounted for

In all sincerity, because these days I make my living as a winemaker, and my organoleptic sensory functions have developed somewhat.....

White dog poo was developed by the Ministry of Health during WW2. Dog owners were urged to add a tablespoonfull of Fuller's Earth to a dog's food, in order that the dog's stools would be more visible to pedestrians during blackouts.

The Ministry of Information published a poster, which shows an apoplectic Hitler, with his jackboot landing in a large, dark, steaming pile (a guilty looking Goering-faced Doberman pinscher cowers nearby), while a smiling Churchill is featured, deftly avoiding a neat, white deposit. Even after the War, people continued the habit of adding Fuller's Earth to dog food, but, with the introduction of tinned dog food, the custom died out.

Why do shops that are open 24 Hours a day have locks on their doors?

Why does a constant speed drive not keep going at a constant speed when the input is removed.
