What follows are some quickies sent in regarding the U.S. bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. These are jokes which are funny, but which didn't really warrant posting separately. I post such a digest whenever I have enough entries to warrant it. Particularly selective readers will probably not enjoy the digests, and may want to killfile RHF jokes with "Digest" in the title.
I want to apologize in advance to any Chinese readers who may be offended by this material. I further want to point out that this digest should not be taken to mean that Americans are treating the matter lightly. We joke about our own disasters too, being the sick bastards that we are - ed.

After the recent NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, the Chinese government has publicly announced the abandonment of its efforts to steal US mapping technology. The US Defense Mapping Agency released a statement saying that they weren't worried anyway, because it would take a long time for Chinese agents to get back across the Antarctic circle to China with the stolen documents.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!

Of COURSE the Chinese Government is angry. How would you feel if YOU had invested millions of dollars in a perfectly good corrupt politician only to have him bomb YOUR embassy?

Here, we have vast masses of angry Chinese demonstrators almost rioting outside the U.S. embassy, and an ambassador who won't give an ounce of credit to U.S. apologies or investigative efforts...
Granted, it's not much fun to have your embassy bombed, but why can't the Chinese just act like civilized people and fire a few missiles at one of our pharmaceutical plants?
