Melissa’s Joke of the Day

A Marine squad was marching north of Basra when they came upon an insurgent soldier badly injured and unconscious. Nearby, on the opposite side of the road, was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert. As first aid was given to both men, the Marine was asked what had happened.
The Marine reported, “I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. Seeing each other we both took cover. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable low-life scumbag, and he yelled back that Teddy Kennedy is a rich, good-for-nothing fat drunk.”
“We were standing there shaking hands when a truck hit us.”

seems like people who read your blog enjoy a good political joke from time to time, so here is my contribution to society this week…
A Moral Dilemma
This test only has one question, but it’s a very important one.
By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which You will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.
You are in Florida—- Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of Biblical proportions.
You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper and you’re caught in the middle of this epic disaster.
The situation is nearly hopeless. You’re trying to shoot career making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. .
Somehow the woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It’s Hillary Clinton!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever. You have two options–you can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world’s most powerful women.
So here’s the question, and please give an honest answer…
Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
