If anyone's going to nuke me I'd like them to at least have the decency to call a couple of days beforehand so I can take up smoking again.
Me neither Sunchild, but I often find that in difficult situations where there's little I can do to control them that humour helps. I've only ever intended for that to come over. As you may have guessed us British have a very "interesting" sense of humour that tends not to travel well. That is apart from Faulty Towers which seems to be in every country I visit

I've seen some very bizzare sense of humours in my time under very "stressful" situations. They've generally helped me get through.

One (related to this thread) which really sticks in my mind is the scene from Police Academy when that comedian decides that going back into the CS chamber would be a great thing to do.....

Stood outside a CS chamber, CS fluid covering my upper torso, tears streaming down my face and my eyes feeling like they were falling out, feeling every molecule of air in my throat I had a little chuckle to myself. Humour can be a great source of strength....

(BTW what I thought and was chuckling certainly wouldn't be appropriate here... )

I think the next phase of the terrorist war against the west will probably be a couple of men with AK47's (or the like) walking into shopping centres and killing innocent shoppers.
The death toll would be fairly high and the terrorists stand a fair chance of slipping away to kill another day. Certainly in the UK they could cause a lot of damage before armed police could get there to deal with them.

When I had my first smoke during a cross country run at school, I decided this was the way to go anyway and I've never looked back!
