OK, I'm patriotic and supportive of the war on terrorism, and part of that is us being as ready as we can be here on our home ground. But is this color-coded alert status deal the dumbest thing they've come up with since Sept 11th?

YELLOW ALERT! OK, what exactly are we supposed to do?

Is it ever possible to have a Green Alert? Wouldn't that mean there is no terrorist threat whatsoever? That's virtually impossible.

RED ALERT! Duck and cover!!

I don't get it. Just tell us what you know and be done with it.

My yellow alert came on the beach at Key West. When the first wave failed they sent us back to the home base. There but for you go I.

If you drink enough Red Bull, that will make your pee turn green.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable BROWN alert, just above red alert.

"Oh, !!!!"

How about something a little more up-to-date than recycled WWII phrases? Some suggestions:

Teal alert! Martini Olive alert! (Bob's fav) Puce alert! Wintergreen alert! Mauve alert! Persimmon Pickle Alert!

At least if we are going to make these guys laugh at us, we need to make them stutter and choke.

What has the olive ever done to you? I would understand if they were killer olives like those tomatoes in that one movie but I have yet to see an olive of the sort.

Ethan, I like olives they are good friends of mine. However I love onions they add a special flavor to the main ingrediant which is Ice Cold Gin straight from the freezer. Ask Cordell or Jim Trevet they know the truth.

Bob, I soak my garlic cloves in vodka to preserve them, but I don't think I'd drink the vodka after that. Do you have onion breath?

Hundreds of baby onions have given up their little onion lives so Bob can have his Gibsons. <sniff>
