Two California Highway Patrol (CHP) Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on Interstate-15,
just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar.
One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill.


The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour.
The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then turned off.
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet
that was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.


Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander.
The reply came back in true USMC style:



Thank you for your letter.


We can now complete the file on this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer
in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile radar equipment
and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.
Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to
your equipment location.


Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was,
quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system
before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position.


The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech.
Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar.
It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.


Thank you for your concern.


Semper Fi.

I can't find the jokes thread.. so here's another one:

As you may have heard, the Bush Administration said each and every one of us would now get a nice rebate. If we spend that money at
WalMart, all the money will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs; if we purchase a computer it will all go to India; if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala; if we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan; if we purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America, so the only way to keep that money here at home is to buy beer, since those are the only businesses still in the US.
