BIKERNET MEDICAL STUDY
A well known cardiologist died, and an elaborate funeral was planned. Ahuge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.
Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. Theheart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever. At that point, one of the mourners burst intolaughter.
When confronted, he said, “I’m sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral…..I’m a gynecologist.”

An aircraft filled with 101st Airborne Division soldiers en routeto Afghanistan circled the World Trade Center disaster site in lowerManhattan last week to remind the troops of why they weredeployed.
It was the first time since Sept. 11 that the Federal AviationAdministration allowed a commercial plane to fly over the site.
Capt. Richard Osborne, pilot of MD-11 World Airways, radioed 20minutes ahead to coordinate the maneuver and the air traffic controllerswere notably moved by the request.
“They were happy to do it when we told them the 101st AirborneDivision (Air Assault) was on board,” said Osborne. “These people are goingover there and are literally risking their lives in response to theterror that occurred at that place; it was very significant that they getan opportunity to see it”
For the soldiers of Task Force 187 making the trip, it was a reminderof what the mission is all about. “It was definitely a sobering moment,(a reminder) of what we’re doing here,” said Spc. RaymondBallance, Company D, 311th Military Intelligence, ground surveillance. “Itbrought it back to the front of my mind, of why we’re doing this, byseeing those two barren sites.” Ballance is also prepared to make thesacrificeto help eliminate terrorism. “Hopefully I’ll find some bad guys anddetain them so we can bring them to justice,” said Ballance.
Osborne, who was an Army aviator during Vietnam, said he was proud to have the job of flying the “Screaming Eagles” to theirdestination.
“I’m glad we’re able to bring them on this leg and what we’re reallylooking forward to is bringing each and every one of them back home,”said Osborne.
“I was proud when I served in the military and I’m proud of the quality of people who are on board today.”
(Editor’s note: Spc. Eric Bartelt is a member of the 40th PublicAffairs Detachment now serving in Afghanistan.)

EASYRIDER EMPLOYEE CUTBACKS–Joe had to get rid of one of his staff. He had narrowed it down to one of two people, Debra or Jack.It would be a hard decision to make, as they were bothequally qualified and both did excellent work.
He finally decided that in the morning whichever oneused the water cooler first would have to go.
Debra came in the next morning, hugely hung over afterpartying all night. She went to the cooler to get somewater to take an aspirin and the executive approachedher and said: “Debra, I’ve never done this before but,I have to lay you or Jack off.”
Debra replied, “Could you jack off, I have a terrible headache.”
