China’s Air Force Bans Lunchtime Drinking

This is scary. China’s air force has banned lunchtime drinking.

Air force officers face:

1. demerit

2. domotion

3. getting sacked

if they drink alcohol at lunch on working days now.

I suppose we, or at least the Chinese, should be happy about this ban, eh?

But, what I wonder is what have they been doing up until now?

“Hey, Wang, look at the jet fighter up there?”

“Where?”

“There and there and now over there and there and down there and up there and …..”

Death Row Dude Too Fat to Execute

Aug 5th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

I reckon this guy has found a good reason to pig out. He now claims he is too fat to be given a lethal injection – he is 5’7″ and weighs 267lbs. He says that executioners aren’t likely to be able to find his veins and his weight may be too much that the drugs won’t be effective.

He bases his claims on the fact that prison officials have not been too successful at drawing blood. He’s also taking a drug for migraines (you get headaches when you are going to die, I suppose) and his lawyers say the drug for his noggin may come in conflict with the lethal injection drugs, too.

The man is being executed for raping and murdering two young women in 1986. His execution is scheduled for Oct. 14th.

How about the prison just starve him to death?
