Default Inspectors

Obviously sent to me by my mom. Very scary for an 88 year old to be surfing the net.



Have you noticed anything fishy about the inspection teams arriving in
Iraq? They're all men! How in the name of the United Nations does anyone
expect men to find Saddams stash? We all know that men have a blind spot
when it comes to finding things. For crying' out loud! Men can't find the
dirty clothes hamper. Men can't find the jar of jelly until it falls out of
the cupboard and splatters on the floor.... and these are the people we have
sent into Iraq to search for hidden weapons of mass destruction?

I keep wondering why groups of mothers weren't sent in. Mothers can sniff
out secrets quicker than a drug dog can find a gram of dope. Mothers can
find gin bottles that dads have stashed in the attic beneath the rafters.
They can sniff out a diary two rooms and one floor away. They can tell
when the lid of a cookie jar has been disturbed and notice when a quarter
inch slice has been shaved off a chocolate cake. A mother can smell alcohol
on your breath before you get your key in the front door and can smell
cigarette smoke from a block away. By examining laundry, a mother knows more
about their kids than Sherlock Holmes. And if a mother wants an answer to
question, she can read an offender's eyes quicker than a homicide detective.
So... considering the value a mother could bring to an inspection team,
why are we sending a bunch of old men who will rely on electronic
equipment to scout out hidden threats?

My mother would walk in with a wooden soup spoon in one hand, grab Saddam by
the ear, give it a good twist and snap, "Young man, do you have any weapons
of mass destruction?" And God help him if he tried to lie to her.
She'd march him down the street to some secret bunker and shove his nose
into a nuclear bomb and say, "Uh, huh, and what do you call this,
mister?" Whap! Thump! Whap! Whap! Whap! And she would lay some stripes
across his bare bottom with that soup spoon, then march him home in
front of the whole of Baghdad. He would not only come clean and
apologize for lying about it, he would cut every lawn in Baghdad for
free for the whole damn summer.
Inspectors my ass... You want the job done? Call my mother

I hate to put a damper on you, but it was men who found the 100 acre chemical factory in Iraq yesterday. Unless, of course, it was some of the women soldiers.

I have no doubt that the moms were there first.

That's quite true - I can't recount the number of times when I've been humiliated by women when looking for lost stuff in my office!

I think women should rule the world anyway - they're much less prone to irrational anger and they're less pointlessly competitive..
Bush and Saddam look like 2 spoiled kids throwing tantrums in a schoolyard.
Doesn't it shock you when you hear about violent and murderous women? As if that part of human behavior was reserved to men?..
Can you imagine a woman Bin Laden, Miss Adolfetta Hitler, or Josepha Stalin?

oops... one exception though: Margaret Thatcher
