Already ?
Pavarotti knocks on the pearly gates St. Peter opens them and says 'Oh it's you Luciano, come on in. Squeeze through'.
Pavarotti says 'hold on, I've got an envelope for you, from the pope.'
St. Peter opens it up and reads it.
'HERE'S THAT TENOR I OWE YOU'

The original quote is actually quite universal I'm told since a lovely English lady I know is the first one to ever send it to me:
"Never drive faster than your Guardian Angel can fly"
In the case of this photo I think Sharon changed it a bit to fit the photograph. The planes have discharged counter-measures, these are rockets designed to fool heat seeking missiles and protect the aircraft from being shot down. In this case the second plane has flown through the smoke left by the counter-measures fired by the first plane and the turbulence has created a "wings" effect in the smoke then the second plane fired it's counter measures hence the bright sparkly bits.
The photo is dramatic and breathtaking and the quote very apropos I think. Hope that helps ;) :)
dot-matrix:
A man decides to have a face-lift for his birthday. He spends $5,000 and feels really good about the results. On his way home, he stops at a newsstand and buys a paper.
Before leaving, he says to the sales clerk, "I hope you don't mind me asking, but how old do you think I am?"
"About 35," was the reply.
"I'm actually 47," the man says, feeling really happy.
After that, he goes into McDonalds for lunch and asks the clerk the same question.
The reply is, "Oh, you look about 29".
"I am actually 47."
Later, while standing at a bus stop, he asks an old woman the same question.
She replies, "I am 85 years old, and my eyesight is going. But when I was young, there was a sure way of telling a man's age. If I put my hand down your pants and play with your balls for 10 minutes, I will be able to tell you your exact age."
As there was no one around, the man thinks, What the hell and lets her slip her hand down his pants.
Ten minutes later, the old lady says, "Okay, it's done. You are 47."
Stunned, the man says, "That was brilliant. How did you do that?"
The old lady replies, "I was behind you at McDonalds."

7. Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
