The Aisle Seat

Two Radical Arab Terrorists boarded a flight out of London . One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat... Just before takeoff, a U.S. Marine sat down in the aisle seat.. After takeoff, the Marine kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I need to get up and get a coke."

"Don't get up," said the Marine, "I'm in the aisle seat, "I'll get it for you."
As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the Marines shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned with the coke, the other Arab said, "That looks good, I'd really like one,too."

Again, the Marine obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up the Marines other shoe and spat in it.

When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight. As the plane was landing, the Marine slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.

"Why does it have to be this way?" he asked. "How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity?

This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?"

THE FEW. THE PROUD. THE MARINES.

Way to think creatively, Bob. I'm also a fan of implementing the comprehensive bike plan, as well. I guess that was a different topic though!

going pro isn't the right choice for everyone


"Bill WalkerKansas State 
Stats: 16.1 ppg, 6.3 rpg

Walker hasn't signed with an agent, and the freshman should not even be entertaining the idea of turning pro. At 6-6, Walker needs to improve his ballhandling skills and his shooting range to show he can play on the perimeter in the NBA. The former-five star recruit shot 30.7 percent (35-of-114) from the college 3-point line. He also needs to show he can be a more consistent scoring threat. Walker has the ideal opportunity to do all that if he stays in school. The departure of Beasley, who will be the first or second pick in the draft, creates a huge void for the Wildcats. Beasley averaged 26.2 points. Walker isn't going to replace those stats, but he could be the Wildcats' go-to guy and get as many shots as he wants next season."

I see us going 1-11 this year, whats going to happen is these non-conferance jokers ie: N Texas, Montana State will get the playbook Appalachian State used on Michigan last year. So regretably this leaves us with a one possible win over Lousiana-Lafayette and that is only if we catch them napping. We have talent but ron does not know how to put players in the right positions.

I'm surprised no one has brought this up. Awaji appears to be a pretty good shooting guard. Good news for the Cats.

There is a report on cnnsi.com concerning Academic Progress Reports. It says about halfway down that KSU is in trouble of losing 2 scholarships next year.

So if my math is correct from the related article. Prince still has 4 years left on his original 5 year deal. (5 year deal, after 1st year an additional year was added automatically minus the 2 years he has been here =4 yrs left)

I am all for giving Prince a chance. However how does the "new" AD think it is a great idea to reward Prince with an extension and probably pay raise after two mediocre at best season, marked with little or no improvement throughout the season. Let him prove he can win, then talk extension.
