I had just copied a joke to send to my father from the military jokes forum over the email (he's ex-military and enjoys this kind of stuff) when this message became the background: "Don't steal! Ask instead." How long will this last?

I just copied a joke a put it on my journal and it didn't do anything?

What joke was it?

Stolen from Military Quotes, Jokes and More

Army, Air Force, and Marine Generals were standing in front of a rappelling tower with a Navy Admiral. The Air Force General says to the others, "My men are the most courageous of the Armed Forces."

"Ha!" said Army, "My men are the most courageous and I'll prove it."

Army calls a Private over from the tower. He tells the Private, "I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Private yells and proceeds to climb the tower. The Private walks to the edge, yells "Hoo-ahh!" and jumps off the tower. He is killed instantly upon impact.

"That's nothing," the Air Force General said, bored. He calls a Senior Airman over. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute and I want you to do it with style."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Senior Airman yells. He climbs to the top of the tower, walks to the edge and jumps. He executes a swan dive that would make Greg Louganis proud, hits the ground and dies on impact.

"Hmmph," the Marine growled. "Ya'll obviously forgot the Marine Corps were here," he said (yelling "Marine Corps!" as all Marines tend to do.)

He calls a Lance Corporal over. "Marine, I want you to jump off that tower and make the Corps proud!"

The Corporal yells, "Ooh-rah!", by way of response and runs to the tower. He grabs an M-60 and ammunition belt on the way and wraps the belt around himself in the Pancho Villa style. He climbs the tower and walks to the edge. Upon reaching the edge, he throws two grenades into the air, yells "Semper Fi Do or Die!" and jumps off. He starts shooting the M-60 in mid-air, clipping treetops and yelling the entire way down. His impact is obscured by the two exploding grenades. When the smoke clears, only little pieces of the Marine are left.

The others are impressed and nod their heads in admiration. Then the Admiral says, "That's nothing." The others turn to face the Admiral, their faces in disbelief. The Admiral calls a Seaman over who was cleaning latrines. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower- no rope, no parachute."

The Seaman looks the Admiral in the face and says, "Screw you! You kiss my ass first!" and walks off.

The Admiral turns to the others and says, "Now THAT'S courage!"

All looks well, I don't have the background anymore.

All images are hotlink protected, so it's not possible to display them on other sites.
you'll only the the "Don't steal, ask instead" image, unless I allow you to use them on your site...

The reason is that I've had some problems with "badwidth theft" in the past.
When people link directly to images on the site instead of uploading them to theirs, they are actually stealing bandwidth I'm paying for..
It's normally not a problem, and it doesn't use much bandwidth.
But a couple of "incidents" where high traffic sites did use my images that way forced me to enable hotlink protection..
One of the sites was using over 1Gb of my bandwidth pr day, and I did only have 40Gb available pr month at that time (it's upgraded now by the way).
So that left me with only 1/4 of the bandwidth I was paying for...


Copying and using text (jokes, quotes, mottos etc..) isn't a problem at all.
But a link back to the page you found it is always aprpeciated..

If you need image hosting, use something like www.photobucket.com and upload it to there before you send it - Redleg, would that fix the problem?

Roger that. I'm fairly sure I didn't copy an image, but, perhaps, I accidentally went over an image while copying a joke.

You probably copied an image as well, since copying text is no problem..
