The Loony Bin - http://loonies.net800.co.uk/ Hiya People... Another bizarre list seeking your attention: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Daily Crap You're invited, but your friend can't come. OK, they can, but the only way to get my warped outlook is to subscribe to the Daily Crap. So if you want to get some of the most outrageous things the web has to offer send a blank e-mail to: thedailycrap-subscribe@egroups.com I just hope your friend doesn't embarrass you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now lets take a look at the British MOD's new voicemail service... Wishes & Dreams... - ANDREA xx *********THE LOONY BIN****loonies@bloodaxe.com********* *** *** *** Archive: http://loonies.net800.co.uk/ *** *** *** ************ANDROMEDA******Internet Goddess************ ------- Forwarded foolishness follows ------- Answering machine at the British Ministry of Defense... The following was found circulating in the MoD's internal mail: British Army official voicemail message Thank you for calling the British Army. I am sorry, but all our units are out at the moment, or are otherwise engaged. Please press '1' to leave a message, with your country, name of organisation, region, details of the specific crisis, and a number where we can reach you. As soon as we have sorted out the Balkans, Iraq, Northern Ireland, the Millennium Bug, marching up and down bits of tarmac in London and compulsory Equal Opportunities training, we will return your call. Please speak after the tone. For other services, please listen to the following options: If your crisis is small and close to the sea, press '2' for the Royal Marines. If your concern is distant, with a tropical climate and good hotels, and can be solved by one or two low risk bombing runs, please press '3' for the Royal Air Force. Please note that this service is not available after 1630 hours or at weekends. If your enquiry concerns a situation which can be resolved by a bit of grey funnel, bunting, flags and a really good marching band, please write, well in advance, to The First Sea Lord, The Admiralty, Whitehall, London. If your enquiry is not urgent, please press '4' for the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps. Only if you are in real, hot trouble, then press '5' and your call will be routed to Sandline International. If you are interested in joining the Army and wish to be shouted at, paid little, have premature arthritis, put your wife and family in a condemned hut miles from civilisation, and are prepared to work your butt off daily, risking your life in all weathers and terrains, both day and night, whilst watching the Treasury eroding your original terms and conditions of service, then please stay on the line. Your call will shortly be taken by a bitter passed-over Recruiting Sergeant in a grotty shop by the railway station. Have a pleasant day, and thank you again for trying to contact the British Army. Please include this information if you forward this joke: ********************************************************* This joke and others like it, can be found in: The Loony Bin http://loonies.net800.co.uk/ ********************************************************* ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to loonies-unsubscribe@listbot.com Start Your Own FREE Email List at http://www.listbot.com/
