BTW, UF, just got this from a friend, she got it from another friend.

To put the incident in a regular day perspective, here is
>what happened:
>Suppose you are on a cordless phone with a friend, in
>your house, by the window. You look up, and see a big
>black van moving slowly on the street outside your house.
>The black van has big antennas on its roof, and the
>driver with earphone is listening on your conversation.
>What will you do then? You will definitely hang up and
>call the police, right?
>Well, there is no police above Pacific ocean. And this
>kind of perversion is called "Intellegance
>Gathering" in international politics.
>So, you call your husband instead. Your husband yell out
>of the window, and the van instead of turning away, move
>close to you, bump the tires on the curb, scratch the
>fence, and even run over the flower bed by the roadside,
>just to test if your husband will come out.
>So, of course your husband is pissed off. But he did not
>go out. Then the van turned away, and was gone.
>But it came back the next day, and do the same thing.
>So on the third day, your husband rode out on his
>motorcycle to catch up with the van.
>As you look from the window, your husband catch up with
>the van, yell at the guy, and then all of a sudden the
>motorcycle collided with the van. Your husband flew into
>the ditch, the van crashed the motorcycle and it ran onto
>your driveway.
>Now you do not know what happened, maybe your husband
>lost control of the motorcycle, maybe the van bumped the
>motorcycle, either way you know your husband is not
>suicidal. And he is not crazy enough to crash the
>motorcycle into the van.
>But the story from the other side, without talking to
>anyone is that:
>1. The van cannot bump the motorcycle because it cannot
>turn that fast.
>2. The motorcycle is faster, it should clear away from
>the van.
>Well, maybe the van is slow, but it can still turn, it
>cannot outrun or outturn the motorcycle, but when the
>motorcycle is alongside of the van, the van can bump the
>motorcycle just as easily.
>Now, you are angry. You called your relatives. They came
>out, try to find your husband in the ditch, and pull the
>guys from the van into your house. Before you can ask
>them what happened, you hear a knock on the door. You
>opened the door, there are three guys in the suit at the
>door, and behind them, there are three tanks with guns
>point at your house. They declared it was your stupid
>husband's fault for ram the van, and demand you hand over
>the guys in the van without ask a single question, and
>fix the van in your driveway without looking inside to
>see tapes of your private conversation, and hand over the
>van.
>Now, all the nice gentlemen in this discussion group can
>tell if I have exaggerated any. The only thing is for
>something that is unthinkable in the United States of
>America, the U.S. President and the U.S. Military is
>doing to the rest of the world every day. And this time,
>they are jumping up and down because the van is in
>Chinese driveway. Oh, by the way, about that three tanks,
>they are just here to help rescue your husband!
