It's a function of how often someone supplies air support especially close air support during active ground combat. The more planes you have in the air and the more times they use their weapons then the more often there are opportunities for mistakes to be made.

Dude, from the junior idiot of the site I understand he doesn't understand stereotyping. From you I expected better.

And to further explain, I didn't really think that the ME has it's own tectonic plate. I say this because you seem to have trouble understanding how humour works in places other than your own head.

Your joke doesn't make any sense then.

Leave it to a Brit to think he knows humor

His joke does make sense.

Nothing in his joke inferred that the middle east was a tectonic plate. The opposite in fact, if it was, how could the plates moving bring Afghanistan closer to the middle east??!

Unbelievable.

Alpie, the brits invented humor. True, you need more than half a brain to "get it" but still...

[MikeH]

No we didn't!

Check it, Plato is giving Alby a slagging:

Western humour theory begins with Plato, who attributed to Socrates (as a semihistorical dialogue character) in the Philebus (p. 49b) the view that the essence of the ridiculous is an ignorance in the weak, who are thus unable to retaliate when ridiculed. Later, in Greek philosophy, Aristotle, in the Poetics (1449a, pp. 34–35), suggested that an ugliness that does not disgust is fundamental to humour.

Given the expositions in posts 34 and 35 of this thread, I ask the obvious rhetorical question, why?
