Today’s humor:
Hankuk Kyungje
Elderly Priest
The retired elderly priest was a bit absent-minded. He often filled in for sick priests at other parishes,
and one Saturday he found himself on a train to a new destination and pretty soon he frantically searched his pockets for his ticket.
“Forget about it, Father,” said the conductor, recognizing him as a regular. “I’m sure you paid for a ticket.”
“I can’t forget about the ticket,” the priest replied nervously. “I need to know where I’m going.”

US may have been testing anthrax at two other bases in South Korea
Last month a live anthrax sample arrived in S. Korea, and the US is still declining to answer questions about it
Allegations are surfacing that United States Forces Korea (USFK) anthrax testing has been conducted at bases in Gunsan, North Jeolla, and Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province. USFK is currently facing criticisms after an episode last month in which a live anthrax sample was delivered for testing at Osan Air Base in Gyeonggi Province. The anthrax tests are part of USFK’s Joint United States Forces Korea Portal and Integrated Threat Recognition (JUPITR) program.
