Fighter ejection

 

Was down in Exeter, when I did my PhD, & there was a lady came on the local news. Reported about a pilot.
I think she meant to say he was able to eject safely. What she actually said was he:
"He managed to ejaculate safely"
Don't know if she was born a dame, or by one by marriage
She clearly was a lady

Viagra

 

Well, I was told its generic name was Sildenafil Citrate.
Then someone told me it was mycoxaphatlein
I didn't get it until I realised it was my cocks a failing!
Sorry if I've offended anyone

Re: Operation "Black Buck"

 

I was stalked. I had a renal infection. One of the secretaries came in & said:
"How she would like to punch me in the kidneys!"
My parochial tutor told the departmental tutor this.
He gave my notes on depression to the same secretary again.
Well, how do you defend a rapist?
You say the woman's a sl@g.
Discredit the complainant you discredit the complaint. If I failed my complaint would be descrited. It was absolute hell!
My exam papers were fixed
How I graduated Best of Year, God alone only knows!
It's happened many times before:
The University is Judge, jury & Executioneer.
It got so stinky they had to set up the Office of the Independent Adjudicator.
It's a fig leave to cover their corruption.

Hi

 

Dear All,
I am at a bit of a loss, to say the least!
I was in A & E this morning
They did a CT scan of my brain, because I was banging my head against the wall trying to kill myself.
The Samaritans have been shut down for 3 months "for inappropriate comments".
Goodness knows what that?means, but now I am on my own. I have no one.

Hawk Crash

 

Saw on the BBC news about a Hawk Fighter crash in the South West. Thank Goodness, no one was seriously hurt. The pilots will have to have spinal X-rays because of the g-forces involved.
I have heard cases of RAF officers staying with the plane & dying, to be sure it didn't hit any civilians. How professional can you get?

I had a Pfizer and Harvey had the AstraZenica; I just had a bit of a sore arm for a few days and Harvey said he felt tired but he often does, so it may not have been the vaccine.
