USS New York

USS New York

It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel

from the World Trade Center .

It is the fifth in a new class of warship -

designed for missions th at include

special operations against terrorists.

It will carry a crew of 360 sailors

and 700 combat-ready Marines to

be delivered ashore by

helicopters and assault craft. 

Steel from the World Trade Center was melted

down in a foundry in  Amite , LA to

cast the ship's bow section. When

it was poured into the molds on

Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough

steelworkers treated it with

total reverence,' recalled

Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing,

who was there. 'It was a spiritual

moment for everybody there.' 

Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager,

said that when the trade center steel

first arrived, he touched it with his

hand and the 'hair on my neck

stood up.' 'It had a big meaning

to it for all of us,' he said.

'They knocked us down.

They can't keep us down.

We're going to be back.' 

The ship's motto? 'Never Forget'

Please keep this going so everyone

can see what we are made

of in this country!

at 2 in the morning.The very blonde wife picked up the phone, 
listened a moment and said 'How should I know, that's 200 miles 
from here!' and hung up. 
The husband said, 'Who was that?' 

The wife answered, 'I don't know, some woman wanting to know 
if the coast is clear.' 


SECOND DEGREE

sidewalk and leans down to pick it up. She opens it, looks in the mirror 
and say s, 'Hmm, this person looks familiar.' 

The second blonde says, 'Here, let me see!' 

So, the first blonde hands her the compact. 

The second blonde looks in the mirror and says, 'You dummy, it's me!' 


THIRD DEGREE 
A blonde suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her, so she goes out and 
buys a gun. She goes to his apartment unexpectedly and when she opens the 
door she finds him in the arms of a redhead. Well, the blonde is really 
angry. She opens her purse to take out the gun, and as she does so,she is 
overcome with grief. She takes the gun and puts it to her head. 

The boyfriend yells, ' No, honey, don't do it!!!' 

The blonde replies, 'Shut up, you're next!' 


FOURTH DEGREE 
A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of state capitals. 
She proudly says, 'Go ahead, ask me, ... I know 'em all.' 

A friend says, 'OK, what's the capital of Wisconsin ?'

SIXTH DEGREE 
Bambi, a blonde in her fourth year as a UCLA Freshman, sat in her US 
Government class. The professor asked Bambi if she knew what 
Roe vs. Wade was about. 

Bambi pondered the question; then, finally, said, 'That was the decision 
George Washington had to make before he crossed the Delaware .' 


SEVENTH DEGREE 
Returning home from work, a blonde was shocked to find her house 
ransacked and burglarized. She telephoned the police at once and 
reported the crime. The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the radio, 
and a K-9 unit, patrolling nearby, was the firs t to respond. 

As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the blonde 
ran out on the porch, shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog, then 
sat down on the steps. Putting her face in her hands, she moaned, 'I come 
home to find all my possessions stolen. I call the police for help, and what do 
they do? They send me a BLIND policeman!'
