Supplies

Please don your hat that doesn't object to politically incorrect jokes... it is a joke after all.

An Englishman, an American and a Chinaman are in a battle situation and are being appointed the CO's of different units by the commander in chief. The chief says to the Englishman, "OK, you Brits are good at talking, so you be the diplomat and see if you can talk our way out of this..." and then he turns to the American and says "If he fails, you yank's are pretty quick on the trigger, so you head up the armed forces and blast em to hell..." and then he looks to the china man and says "Hmmm... OK I'm not sure what the Chinese do well but we need someone to keep the supplies, so you supply the ammo and stuff for whole outfit". Anyways, the battle heats up, the Englishman goes to the front line to try and negotiate and is promptly shot. So the American sends his troops in to kick some ass, but gets about through a half day when they start to run out of ammo and says "where's that darn Chinaman? He's supposed to be supplying us with bullets". He finally gets desperate when he's suffering heavy casualties and the enemy is on top of them, so goes to look for the Chinaman. He hunts high and low and can't find him anywhere. Finally he goes to the 'munitions dump to fetch the ammo himself and just as he's loading up bullets, out from behind the boxes jumps the Chinaman shouting "supplies!!"...

Sometimes you stumble accross someone's web log and you know they know people you know and you just can't work out who it is... and then you pick up on nuances of speech/type that 'sound' familiar and guess their identity.

Tonight I discovered a good mate of mine started 'blogging at the start of the year and never told me. Perhaps just because he's not into all this "ooh, I read so and so's blog who was quoting so and so's blog" stuff... I mean it does get a little incestuous and vain (hence the name of this one). But in a way that's the whole point, it's about inspiring each other, supplying one another with food for thought and suppliesing them with little gems like this.

Welcome McWebb to the world of the 'blog. You are now officially a wanker, just like the rest of us. ;)
