Jokes / Seeing is believing

« on: March 04, 2009, 12:48:38 PM »

A woman was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.
Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind. The man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her seeing eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight.

He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, 'Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?' The blind lady replied, 'No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs.'

Picture this:

All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!

Football / Gordon Bradley, Who Nurtured U.S. Soccer, Dies at 74

Gordon Bradley, Who Nurtured U.S. Soccer, Dies at 74
 
By JACK BELL
Published: May 1, 2008
Gordon Bradley, a native of England who was a pioneering figure in American soccer and the first to sign with the New York Cosmos, as a player and as a coach, died Tuesday in Manassas, Va. He was 74.

His death was confirmed by his son Paul, who said his father had Alzheimer’s disease.

Bradley, who was born in Sunderland, England, knocked around the lower divisions of English soccer in the 1950s before emigrating to Canada in 1963. While playing in the Eastern Canada Professional Soccer League, he traveled south to play in the German-American League, a semiprofessional circuit in the metropolitan New York area.

Bradley is perhaps best remembered as the first to sign with the Cosmos in 1971, their first year in the North American Soccer League, joining the team as player-coach.

“He, and indeed everyone else in the club, spent more time propagating the gospel of soccer than in simply being coach of a pro team,” Clive Toye, the Cosmos’ first general manager, said in an e-mail message. “If you could take the soccer DNA of many of today’s outstanding U.S. players, you could trace it back to the Cosmos and Gordon Bradley.”

Bradley took the Cosmos to their first league championship, in 1972, and remained with the club until 1975, when he was fired after two losing seasons. A year later, he was back on the bench coaching as the Cosmos were beginning to emerge as the N.A.S.L.’s marquee team, having signed the Brazilian star Pelé in 1975 and soon afterward the German star Franz Beckenbauer. The team drew big crowds to Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Pelé and Beckenbauer joined a star-studded roster that included Giorgio Chinaglia and Carlos Alberto. But the team struggled early in the 1977 season, and Bradley was dismissed midway through it. The Cosmos rallied and went on to win the championship under Bradley’s replacement, Eddie Firmani.

Afterward, Bradley coached the N.A.S.L.’s Washington Diplomats for three seasons. He was also a player-coach of the United States national team in 1973, but lost that job when the team lost five straight games. (While coaching the Cosmos, Bradley drafted a little-known goalkeeper, Bruce Arena, who went on to a coaching career, including a successful stint as the national team coach.)

After ending his professional coaching career, Bradley settled in the Washington area. In 1985, he became the coach at George Mason University. He retired in 2000 with a 183-113-35 record. In 1996, he was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta, N.Y.

Besides his son Paul, of Haymarket, Va., Bradley is survived by his wife of 49 years, Vera; another son, Doug, of Leesburg, Va.; and five grandchildren.

Shep Messing, a goalkeeper who once played for Bradley’s Cosmos teams, said in a telephone interview Wednesday, “The greatest thing about Gordon is that whether he was talking to 5 or 6 girls on a field in Massapequa, N.Y., 10 boys at a clinic in New Jersey, 20 college players, or Pelé or Franz Beckenbauer, he was always the same inspirational leader.”

Jokes / You got to love those seniors

« on: December 13, 2007, 07:28:37 PM »

 This will warm your heart. Just when you have lost faith in human kindness.

Someone who teaches at a middle school in Safety Harbor , Florida
forwarded the following letter. The letter was sent to the principal's
office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old
lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to
say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind.

 Dear Safety Harbor Middle School ,

 God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior
citizens' luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the Safety Harbor
Assisted Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all
alone and I want to thank you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady.

My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio. Before I received
one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping.

The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a lot of
pieces. It was awful and she was in tears.

She asked if she could listen to mine and I told her to f**k off.

Thank you for that opportunity.

 Sincerely,
 Edna

General Discussion / Dublin Beer Bandit Raids Guinness

« on: December 02, 2007, 12:10:47 PM »

Dublin Beer Bandit Raids Guinness


DUBLIN, Ireland —

Irish police were hunting for a beer bandit who stole 450 full kegs from the Guinness brewery _ the largest heist ever at Ireland's largest brewer.

National police said a lone man drove into the brewery _ a Dublin landmark and top tourist attraction _ on Wednesday and hitched his truck to a fully loaded trailer awaiting delivery to city pubs.

Diageo PLC, the beverage company that owns Guinness, said the brewery had never suffered such a large-scale theft before in its 248-year history.

Police said the raider took 180 kegs of Guinness stout, 180 kegs of U.S. lager Budweiser and 90 kegs of Danish beer Carlsberg. Guinness brews both of those foreign brands under license for sale in Ireland.

Police declined to say whether the theft had been captured by closed-circuit surveillance cameras. No description of the suspect was issued, suggesting that nobody got a good look at him.

Each keg holds about 88 British-sized pints, the most common serving size in Ireland, equivalent to 20 ounces each. The total theft involves 39,600 pints with a retail value exceeding $235,000.

Police said it would be difficult for the thief to sell the stolen beer without attracting attention, unless he has criminal associates who own a network of pubs.

But customs agents say it is common for pubs to sell stolen or smuggled cigarettes and alcohol, particularly counterfeit-labeled supplies of vodka, to avoid paying hefty taxes.

In the past, the outlawed Irish Republican Army and other gangs have hijacked truck shipments of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes for resale in pubs run by sympathizers or friends. Those raids typically happen in rural areas, never in the center of Dublin.

The Republic of Ireland, a country of 4.2 million, has more than 10,000 pubs and bars. The Guinness brewery in Dublin is the biggest supplier, producing more than 5 million kegs annually.

Football / Barnes, Mariner and Simoes vie for Bermuda football's top job

« on: November 10, 2007, 12:32:45 PM »

http://www.theroyalgazette.com/siftology.royalgazette/Article/article.jsp?articleId=7d7acb33003000e&sectionId=70

New England Revolution assistant coach Paul Mariner is among the applicants vying to become Bermuda Football Association's (BFA) next technical director, The Royal Gazette can reveal.

Former Liverpool and England star John Barnes, whose interest in the post was first reported in this newspaper, has also applied.

And Rene Rodrigues Simoes, the Brazilian who coached the Reggae Boyz of Jamaica to the 1998 World Cup finals, has also put his hat into the ring.

According to reliable sources Mariner, the 54-year-old former Ipswich and England striker, has applied for the post that will yield an annual income of $125,000.

News of Mariner's intentions may come as a surprise as he has seemingly enjoyed good relations with Revs head coach Steve Nicol, a partnership that bore fruit earlier this month as the Major Soccer League (MSL) outfit, featuring Bermudian Khano Smith in the side, lifted the Open Cup with victory over FC Dallas in the final.

Mariner's career in England began at non-league side Chorley before he progressed to Plymouth Argyle in 1973.

Three years later the former striker joined Bobby Robson's Ipswich where he netted 97 goals in eight seasons and won FA Cup (1978) and UEFA Cup Winners Cup (1981) titles before moving on to Arsenal and eventually ending his playing career at American Professional Soccer League (APSL) outfit San Francisco Bay Blackhawks in 1992.

"Football is in my blood and I always look to be involved no matter what level it is," Mariner told The Royal Gazette during a March, 2005 interview.

Mariner made his England debut in March 1977 and went on to earn 35 caps and score the winner against Hungary that qualified his country for the 1982 World Cup finals after a 20-year absence from the tournament.

Along with former Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham and AC Milan striker Jimmy Greaves, Mariner is the only other striker to score in six consecutive matches wearing an England jersey.

Mariner was an assistant coach at Harvard University before he joined Nicol at the Revs. Past Canada senior national team coach Stephen Hart, of Trinidad, and Fifa instructor and British Virgin Island (BVI) technical director Ben Davies are also among the 25 to 30 applicants. Richard Todd and Keith Tucker are the only two Bermudians that applied for the post last held by former West Ham striker Clyde Best, the Jackie Robinson of English football.

Todd has served as a football academy director in Alabama while Tucker is former head coach at Howard University who he coached all the way to the 1988 NCAA championship.

In order to meet the criteria all candidates must possess an English FA full coaching licence, Uefa 'A' or the equivalant and/or have had a minimum of five years' coaching experience at the national or professional levels.
Earlier this week local football's governing body announced that a short-list of six or seven applicants will be contacted in the near future.

"Once we have contacted those on our short-list we hope to start the interviewing process as soon as possible," BFA technical committee chairman Mark Trott said.

Breaking News: Arena Gone

[UPDATED -- It's now official. Jump to the bottom for statements from the club and Arena. Officially, they are saying he 'resigned']

You heard it here first.....

Four sources told me this morning that the Red Bulls have decided to make a coaching change and have dismissed Bruce Arena after one and a half seasons. New York started well this season, but faded late in the year and was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by New England on Saturday night.

Arena accepted the New York job last summer after nearly eight years in charge of the U.S. national team.

Arena told me he had no comment. Calls to Red Bulls technical director Jeff Agoos as well as Arena's agent, Richard Motzkin, were not immediately returned.

Arena's contract was guaranteed for, I believe, the next two years at a base salary of $600,000.

[UPDATED BELOW]

"We've made progress this season, but it is not where we want to be," said managing director Marc de Grandpre. "We made a promise to our fans to provide the best quality product on the field. Unfortunately, we haven't achieved that promise to this point. Thus, we've come to a mutual agreement to part ways. I want to thank Bruce for his hard work. I am certain that he will have success in his future endeavors."

"Marc and I discussed the direction of the team and decided mutually that this was the best move for Red Bull New York," said Arena.

How about Yallop to San Jose, Arena to L.A., Houston assistant John Spencer to Colorado if Clavijo is dismissed and Matthaeus to N.Y.? Or maybe Mourinho to L.A. and Capello to N.Y.? Thoug

Bermuda Close to Naming Coach

Keith Tucker, who was fired by Howard University in January after 26 seasons, is in final negotiations to become head coach of Bermuda's national team, sources said today. Tucker is a native of Bermuda who returned to live there this year. Bermuda will enter the early stage of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying next year. The soccer association is also in search of a technical director.

The last time the U.S. team played Bermuda was in February 1991: Bermuda 1, USA 0. As I recall, that was Bob Gansler's final game in charge of the American squad. The U.S. lineup was Meola; Agoos, Balboa, Banks, Dayak; Krumpe, Dufrene, Kinnear, Murray; Wynalda, Vermes

Football / Howard University names new soccer coach

« on: June 29, 2007, 08:35:43 AM »

http://www.howard-bison.com/sports/msoc/2006/News/Okoh_Named_Men-s_Soccer_Coach

                                  Howard Names Men's Soccer Coach

 

Howard University has named Joseph E. Okoh as its new head men's soccer coach.  Okoh brings a wealth of experience to the Bison program.  He comes to Howard from Shepherd University in West Virginia where he compiled an impressive record that includes a 38-13-9 slate the past three years.  Along the way, Okoh became Shepherd's all-time "winningest" coach.

"I am very thankful for the opportunity to coach the men's soccer program at Howard University," said Okoh.  "There is a great tradition here and the expectations are high among alumni, students and followers of the program.  I am looking forward to the challenge of having a first class program that is highly competitive on the field while also maintaining a high level of success in the classroom."

Under Okoh's guidance, the Shepherd program ranked in the Division II Top 25.  In 2005, Okoh was honored as the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year.

"We greatly appreciate all that Coach Okoh has done to build Shepherd University men's soccer into a competitive program at the conference, regional and national levels," said Shepherd University Assistant Director of Athletics Ken Tyler.  "His success at Shepherd is evident in this opportunity at Division I Howard University and we wish him all the best."

As impressive as Okoh's record has been on the field, it is equally impressive in the classroom where he maintained a 95 percent graduation rate and several of his players received Academic All American honors.

"That was one of the main factors in our decision to hire him," said Howard Director of Athletics Dwight Datcher.  "He has shown the ability to recruit and graduate student athletes while at the same time being able to experience a high degree of success on the field."

Howard University won national championships in 1971 and 1974 and finished runner-up in 1988, but has failed to reach double digit wins the past few years.

"I often hear about the glory days of soccer at Howard," said Datcher.  "We feel that Okoh has what it takes to get Howard back to those days.  His teams have consistently qualified for the NCAAs during his tenure."

Okoh played collegiately at Metropolitan State College where he was conference Rookie of the Year and a three-time All Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference first team selection.  He also played professionally in both the indoor and outdoor leagues.  Okoh's son Michael is a member of the Bison soccer team.  Okoh is a 1991 graduate of Metropolitan State College with BS degree in Geographic Information Systems.

Jokes / Reverend John Fluff

« on: May 20, 2007, 11:06:39 PM »

The Reverend John Fluff was the pastor of a small
town in Ireland.

One day he was walking down the high street, when he
noticed a young lady of his congregation sitting in a pub drinking
beer.

The Reverend wasn't happy. He walked through the open door of the
pub and sat down next to the woman.

"Miss Fitzgerald", he said sternly. "This is no place for a member
of my congregation.
Why don't you let me take you home?"

"Sure", she said with a slur, obviously very drunk.

When Miss Fitzgerald stood up from the bar she began to weave back
and forth.

The Reverend realized that she'd had far too much to drink and
grabbed her arms to steady her.

When he did, they both lost their balance and tumbled to the floor.

After rolling around for a few moments, the Reverend wound up on
top of Miss Fitzgerald, her skirt hiked up to her waist.

The pub landlord looked over and said, "Oi mate, we won't have any
of that carrying on in this pub."

The Reverend looked up at the landlord and said "But you don't
understand, "I'm Pastor Fluff.

The landlord nodded and said, "Oh well, if you're that far in, you
might as well finish.

A Chinese man gets married. His wife is a virgin. Truth be

On their wedding night, she cowers naked under the sheets as
her husband undresses.
He climbs in next to her and tries to be reassuring. "My darring"
he says, "I know dis yo firss time and you berry frighten. I
pomise you, I give you anyting you want, I do anyting - juss
anyting you want. Whatchou want?" he says, trying to sound
experienced, which he hopes will impress her.
A thoughtful silence follows and he waits patiently (and
eagerly) for her request. She eventually replies shyly and unsure, "I
want try somesing I hear about... Numbah 69".
More thoughtful silence, this time from him. Eventually, in a
puzzled tone he asks...
"You want... beef wiff broccori?!"

were trying to convince a married friend that he should come, too.
"I can't," the man said, "my wife would kill me."
After 15 minutes of persuasion by his friends he finally caves in and goes.

Later, looking at his watch, he realises that it is midnight and he still
has not gone home.
He immediately rushes home trying to figure a way out of the trouble he's
in.

Upon his arrival, he walks into the bedroom and sees his wife's legs
sticking out of the covers.
"I know!!!" he thinks to himself and he crawls in between his wife's legs
under the covers and performs oral sex on her until she is 'satisfied'.
"That should do it," he thinks and he walks into the bathroom to wash his
face.
He turns on the light and THERE IS HIS WIFE... sitting on the toilet.
"What are you doing in here?!" he impatiently screams.
"SSShhhhhh!  she says, "You'll wake your mother!!!!!"

A family of three, during the late 1800's resided a few miles from a small
prairie town.
Occasionally, they'd go to town to get needed supplies.
One afternoon the father hitched the buck-board with a team of horses for
such a purpose, taking the daughter with him and leaving mom at home to tend
the farm.

About halfway along their trip they were held-up at gun point, by a gang of
robbers.
The robbers demanded them off the wagon and asked them for all their money.
The poor farmer replied, "We don't have any money, we do our business in
town on credit".

One of the robbers demanded the two to remove their clothing and told one of
the gang members to search their clothing and the wagon.
To no avail were the robbers able to find any money so they decided to take
the wagon with the team of horses, leaving the father and daughter standing
stark naked alone on the prairie.

The father looked over at his daughter with a puzzled look and asked, What
did you do with all the money?
She said, "I put it up my snatch".
The father replied, "Damn, too bad Ma wasn't here, we could have saved the
whole team and wagon".

Bruce replies that they will probably just go for a soda and on to the
pictures.
"Why don't you take her out for a screw?  I hear that all the kids are doing
it!"

Naturally this comes as quite a surprise to Bruce so he asks him to repeat
himself.
"Yeah all the kids are doing it and Carrie really likes to screw.  She'll
screw all night if you let her."

A few minutes later, Carrie comes down stairs in her little poodle skirt and
said that she is ready to go.
Almost breathless with anticipation, Bruce escorts his date out the front
door.

About twenty minutes later, Carrie rushes back into the house slams the door
behind her, and screams at her father: "Dad, it's called the TWIST!"

Jokes / Homeland Security

Dear Condi:

Replace all female flight attendants with good looking strippers.
What the hell? The attendants have gotten old and haggard looking.
They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The
strippers would double, triple, perhaps quadruple the alcohol
consumption and get a "party atmosphere" going in the cabin.

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing
naked women. And, of course, every heterosexual businessman in this
country would start flying again hoping to see naked women.

Hijackings would come to a screeching halt and the airline industry
would see record revenue.

Why the hell didn't Bush think of this?

Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton
