"Interesting" thoughts during the storm:

9. My food is cold.
10. I am afraid to flush the toilet when the power is out.
11. England called (yes, England, Margaret Thatcher? John Major?) and told her subjects to come home on Wednesday!

"Interesting" thoughts after the storm:

12. Can we get clean sheets?
13. Is this all the food you have? (Said at snack time, uh huh, snack time, until all the bar nuts and bedtime chocolates ran out, they passed these out between lunch and dinner)
14. Where is the salad dressing?  Thousand Island, again?
15. There are 3000 people here (actually 1550) WE could clear the roads.
16. The U.S. Government can see what’s going on, why isn’t the military coming to save us?
17. Guantanamo Bay is close by maybe AWACS planes can fly over to check on us.
18. Wilma had knocked out all communications to the outside. Even USAToday wouldn’t deliver. A car owned by a hotel manager picked up faint signal from Radio Free Cuba. The information was that Cancun had been hit by a Cat 4 Hurricane and that Western Cuban citizens should prepare for a Cat 3 or Cat 4 storm. Here is paraphrased conversation between a refugee and the hotel manager. Refugee: "Can we get a radio?"  Hotel Manager, "All the radio stations are knocked out." "Well, they need more radio stations, then. Can we use your car radio?" "Why my car radio?" "’Cause you said you picked up a signal." "Yes, from Cuba." "So?" "Well it’s Cuban news not Mexican news".  Refugee still didn’t understand that the news out of Cuba was aimed at the Cuban population not Americans in Mexico.
19. Why don’t they climb up there and install a satellite dish? (Said while observing an obviously damaged radio tower)

Thanks Joe! I hope the "Stupid Citizens Rescue Program" brings a much needed laugh or two!
