Tit For Tat

A soldier stationed in Afghanistan recently received a letter from his girlfriend back home. It read as follows.

Dear Ricky
I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is just too great. I must admit that I have cheated on you twice, since you've been gone, and it's not fair to either of us. I'm sorry.Please return the picture of me that I sent to you.
Love, Becky.


The soldier, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow soldiers for any snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters or ex-girlfriends.In addition to the picture of Becky, Ricky included all the other pictures of the pretty gals he had collected from his buddies. There were 57 photos in that envelope. Along with thisnote.

Dear Becky
I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who the hell you are. Please take your picture from the pile, and send the rest back to me.
Take Care, Ricky

How To Survive A Heart Attack ...

Let's say it's 6.15p m and you're going home (alone ofcourse), after an unusually hard day on the job.You're really tired, upset and frustrated.

Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in yourchest that starts to adiate out into your arm and upinto your jaw. You are only about five miles from thehospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don'tknow if you'll be able to make it that far. You havebeen trained in CPR, but the guy that taught thecourse did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heartattack, without help,the person whose heart is beatingimproperly and who begins to feel faint, has onlyabout 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However,these victims can help themselves by coughingrepeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath shouldbe taken before each cough, and the cough must be deepand prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every twoseconds without let-up until help arrives, or untilthe heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughingmovements squeeze the heart and keep the bloodcirculating. The squeezing pressure on the heart alsohelps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heartattack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as manyother people as possible about this. It could savetheir lives!!

A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this tips and inform it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save atleast one life.
