Panic over a soccer field led to the Cuban Missile Crisis

[SlyPokerDog]

When a CIA consultant spotted soccer fields along the coast in Cuba in September 1962, he became concerned because, as he put it, "Cubans play baseball, Russians play soccer."

The CIA analyst had deduced that the field indicated the presence of a Soviet military camp nearby.

3. JFK didn't mention a single domestic issue in his inaugural speech

The one about JFK not mentioning anything is funny. The homosexuals had not yet taken the word Gay and changed the meaning, JFK would have no way to know they wanted the word, Married also.

But I don't know about the soccer field thing. It sure looked like missiles to me looking at some pictures. I was in trying to figure out where to be to direct cruiser gun fire on the survivors of an air
strike on the missiles after the shit hit to fan. Big relief when the ships turned around and the stand down came. Soccer field? Damn that would have been good to know.

And why did easy women have to change the word slut? If you didn't keep something clean you were a slut. But now the meaning of the word is just ruined. Fucking sluts ruining the word slut.

I never use the word. I find it offensive and never necessary.

Not in its original meaning. "Look at your garage, you're such a slut!" See, that's a nice normal word that could be used in everyday conversation but loose women had to ruin it.
