Orginally published in 1991. From the foreword: "Although the United States did not enter World War II until the end of 1941, US citizens fought and died in the war long before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Among them were the pilots of the Eagle Squadrons, three fighter squadrons of Britain's Royal Air Force manned by young US flyers risking their lives in another nation's war. In this book, Colonel Philip D. Caine, US Air Force, tells how the Eagle Squadrons were formed, describes their RAF experiences, and evaluates their contribution to Britain's defense. Unlike other accounts, Eagles of the RAF is not simply a paean to the pilots as special heroes and "aces," though many performed heroically and some sacrificed their lives. Drawing almost exclusively on interviews with more than thirty-five surviving Eagles, on their letters and memoirs, and on official records of the squadrons, Caine shows who these men were and what drove them to endure the burdens of joining a foreign air force. We see them adjusting to life in a new country as they train, fly patrol and escort missions, and sit on alert in dispersal huts or in airplane cockpits. We see their routine suddenly shattered by the momentary chaos and exhilaration of aerial combat. The Eagles' story is a unique chapter in American military history; it deserves to be told as it really happened-not as romanticized by Hollywood or nostalgic recollection. Beyond reliably telling the story, Colonel Caine reveals much about why people enter the military, how military life satisfies or disappoints their preconceptions, and how at least some of them reacted to the realities of combat."

This adult book is filled with funny jokes, tall tales, true stories, and cartoons. We start with jokes that are great to tell children. Then we grow into teen humor, until we hit full laugh with adult humor.

In this book you will find some old favorites and learn lots of new jokes. Some are great for work meetings, others are for poker games or bars. There are jokes for all occasions.

If you have ever been offended by an off color joke, don't read the chapter of jokes that my wife has forbidden me to ever tell again. (And maybe other parts too. The kids joke chapter is safe.)

Laughter is good for you... So start taking better care of yourself, a friend, or a loved one. Laughter is good medicine.

If you have trouble telling jokes I have also added a few tips on how to "play" the audience. Jokes are great icebreakers useful in all parts of our lives. Teachers, clergy, and salespeople can set the feeling in the room with the right joke. Table Of Contents

1. Jokes to tell to kids (Rated G)

My intent with this section is to offer jokes adults can tell to children. I hope you enjoy watching them laugh. When telling jokes to kids it is best to oversell the punch line. Large gestures and big smiles let kids get into the moment.

2. Back talk jokes great for teens (PG13)

When I was a kid, when TV was black and white, and kids would use one-upmanship to win power on the playground, the world was simpler. A little wit and fast talk ruled. The worst thing you could do was to demean someone's mother, so... a lot of effort was put into attacking someone's mother with style.

3. Jokes you should never tell children

I do not believe in censorship except on a personal level. I don't want a government telling anybody what they can or cannot read. However, if locker room talk isn't funny to you, please stop reading now. If you have ever been offended please do not read any further.

4. Tall tales

These are tall tall tales, but fun.

5. True stories

It is often stated, "truth is stranger than fiction." This section proves that saying to be true. Most of these stories happened to me and my family. The rest happened to patients, friends or colleagues. I'll tell you which are which, but when it comes to patients, friends and colleagues I have changed the names to protect their ids, egos, and in some cases super egos.

6. Jokes my wife forbade me from telling again

My bride of almost 25 years tends to have a good sense of humor. Most of the time she puts up with my jokes and antics. On a few occasions she has even participated with my practical jokes. On a rare occasion, when I tell a joke that she perceives as tawdry, she will call me by my complete first name, "Philip " and indicate with a look of motherly distain how disappointed she is in my choices. I assume she expects me to refrain from telling the offending joke again.

7. In closing, my favorite jokes

I am constantly asked what is my favorite joke. This is a tough question because it depends on my mood and the audience. Please don't judge me too harshly, but here are my favorite jokes.

8. Encore Cartoons

A look inside the mind of a shrink.

This book is a culmination of our more than 50 years of combined experience and insights in working with individuals, couples, and families. We found that there are "Pathways" most relationships take in their life journey which carries within it unaware repetitive patterns and opportunities for growth, healing and transformation. We have identified several relational Pathways that we take in our life journey of relationships, individually and as couples. Each of the Pathway chapters presents the reader with reflective questions to engage them experientially to take the journey, albeit by reflection and exercises through the Pathways. Hopefully...in enhancing one's awareness. We approach the journey through the pathways in a Body-Energy-Emotion-Heart-Mind-Soul-System-Spirit (BEEHMSSS) process that includes tools, supports, and resources for navigating your journey in a holistic or integral way. Through our personal experiences with our own relationship and in our work with other individuals, couples, and families, Eight Pathways of Healing Love: Your Journey of Transformation, illustrates what we have discovered and offers ways on how to work through the dilemmas, challenges and struggles you may encounter in your life's relational journey. Many times relationship struggles, as portrayed in the Pathways, involves one's perceptions and interpretations of themselves, the other, and subsequently their relationship. Our research and experience has clearly showed us that unexplored expectations, assumptions, and yearnings eventually lead to breakdowns and disappointments. During your explorations of the Pathways, we invite you to reflect on which Pathway you may be currently travelling in your relationship(s). It is both wonderful and comforting to know that we can start our healing partnership right here and NOW with ourselves and with our significant relationship(s), our partner or with our spouse. We believe that NOW, is the opportunity for our relational evolution personally, relationally and exponentially, as the greatest force and tool we have to heal our world is...LOVE. Start your transformational journey and discover how, NOW, to begin your healing love process We hope this BEEHMSSS approach assists your understanding and deepens your appreciation of your own relational journey of Healing Love.
