=============================================================

How can we have got this far without a dreadful jokes thread? Hurrah, it doesn't have to be motoring.


I used to think size didn't matter until all my wallpaper fell off.

Sorry to be a killjoy, but this is one route that we don't want to go down. Now before there are cries of excess moderation (again), this area of the forum was really set up for questions of a non-motoring nature.

Already we've had jokes posted of an adult (and some would call tasteless) nature. Don't get me wrong, I am no prude, anyone whose received txt messages from me will vouch for that, but please try and remember that all walks of life read this forum who may not find that sort of content acceptable, not to mention people who do so via their place of employment who may well have strict policies in place of what content you can and can't look at.

Discussing this with the other mods, we're all in agreement with this. However we'll allow motoring jokes to be posted (after all said and done, this is primarily a motoring website). Please remember though to keep those jokes to a non offensive nature. If your mother doesn't want to hear it, or it would make her blush or get you a clip around the ear if she did hear it, then it's generally not acceptable to post it. It goes without saying that anything considered inappropriate will be removed without notification.

Lastly, if you've got any thoughts on creating threads such as this one, then please consider running it past the mods first (moderators@car4play.com) before going ahead with it. You never know, we might actually say yes.

Thanks, Vx.

I have only just chanced upon this, but what the ???? are people at work (for others) doing 'surfing' in (others) time? Please explain. I would sack the lot of them, end of.

I can't speak for other employers, but mine allows me to use the internet (for non work) at break times.

...but mine allows me to use the internet (for non work) at break times...

So does mine, but there's also mention of 'after work', so I get the impression they would rather you got the day job done first.

       
 The terrible old jokes thread - Runfer D'Hills
"Break times" What's one of them then ? I want one of those jobs. In fact I want one where you spend fewer than 80 hours a week working. I want one where customers don't ring you on Easter flippin' Sunday when you're in a forest on a bike with your family. I want one where you don't get back after 12 hours out in the car to find 50 "urgent" emails waiting for you...... Actually I want to retire.......

As you have just said "no" to a thread such as this one, that makes no sense at all.

Do you seriously think you are dealing with people who are going to put their hands up when they want to speak?

I really thought we'd left that behind. Plus ca change.

Well, I've just made a suggestion about another thread being locked in a post I made, before reading this one.
Maybe I should have emailed the mods?

No to hell with it, why should I?

A suggestion for a thread is just that and the only way to test the water is get other people's opinions on it surely?

The mods, with all due respect, can never represent a true cross section of the contributors, and are there to oversee nothing offensive gets out of hand. I appreciate it is done voluntarily, and they do an excellent job, but even so this is very akin to the gatehouse security guard syndrome.

Don't let's go down that road please.

She replies, "I'm not sure if it's in yet."

I'm intrigued.

I started this thread some years ago. As you can see in the second post I got a minor slap, and the mods decision was that we didn't want the thread at all, but if we did, it would have to be motoring, and in any case, a joke that would make your mother blush would be over the line.

Dog's joke (sorry Dog) would certainly make my mother blush, and isn't motoring.

I'll answer my own query for the mods."Yes. We say a lot of things. Get over it".

I think the Mods were a bit jumpy then - site was new and the HJ 'now back to motoring' was amost still the Zeitgeist.

Having worked in a retail environment for many years, it really annoys me when some unknown, and unrecognised oik, calls me 'mate'.
I prefer to choose my 'mates' by the simple process of thinking whether I would share a beer with them at the bar. Until then, I'm nobody's mate. No offence intended. Much.

I am acquainted with an ex-ACPO Police Officer from Notts Police - he now runs a genteel little cafe - I was sharing a brew there one day when this dreadful oik came in and kept referring to him as "mate", knowing him like I do I doubt that that is possibly the first time that ever happened to him

Have you ever seen twenty pounds all crumpled up?"...the woman asked her husband.

"No"...said her husband.

She gave him a sexy little smile, unbuttoned the top 3 or 4 buttons of her
blouse...and slowly reached down into the cleavage created by a soft, silky push-up bra...and pulled out a crumpled twenty pound note.

He took the crumpled twenty pound note from her ...and smiled approvingly.

"Have you ever seen fifty pounds all crumpled up?"... she then asked her husband?

"No ..no, I haven't" ...he said (with an anxious tone in his voice).

She gave him another sexy little smile, pulled up her skirt, and seductively reached into her tight, sheer knickers... and pulled out a crumpled fifty pound note.

He took the crumpled fifty pound note... and started breathing a little quicker with anticipation.

"Now" ...she said. "Have you ever seen £20,000 all crumpled up?"

"No, never" ...he said (while obviously becoming even more aroused... and excited).

"Well, go and look in the garage!"...she said.

 Shipwreck... - swiss tony
On a beautiful desolate island in the middle of nowhere, the following groups of people are shipwrecked:

2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman;

2 French men and 1 French woman;

2 German men and 1 German woman;

2 Greek men and 1 Greek woman;

2 Bulgarian men and 1 Bulgarian woman;

2 Japanese men and 1 Japanese woman;

2 Chinese men and 1 Chinese woman;

2 Australian men and 1 Australian woman;

2 Irish men and 1 Irish woman;

2 English men and 1 English woman.

One month later on the same island in the middle of nowhere, the following things have occurred:

One Italian man killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman.

The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a ménage-à-trois.

The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of alternating visits with the German woman.

The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them.

The two Bulgarian men took one long look at the endless ocean, another long look at the Bulgarian woman, and started swimming.

The two Japanese men have faxed Tokyo and are waiting for instructions.

The two Chinese men have set up a pharmacy, a liquor store, a restaurant and a laundry, and have got the woman pregnant in order to supply employees for their stores.

The two Australian men are contemplating suicide because the Australian woman keeps complaining about her body; the true nature of feminism; how she can do everything they can do; the necessity of fulfillment; the equal division of household chores; how sand and palm trees make her look fat; how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her nicer than they do; how her relationship with her mother is improving, and how at least the taxes are low and it isn't raining.

The two Irish men have divided the island into North and South and have set up a distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it gets sort of foggy after the first few litres of coconut whisky. But they're satisfied because at least the English aren't having any fun.

Meanwhile, the two English men are still waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman.

One morning 3 Lancashire Lads and 3 Cockneys were in a ticket queue at Manchester Piccadilly train station heading to Euston for a Wembley cup final.

The 3 Cockneys each bought a ticket and watched as the 3 Lancastrians bought just one ticket between them.

"How are the 3 of you going to travel on one 1 ticket?" asked one of the Cockneys. "Tha must watch and learn" answered one of the boys from the North.

When the 6 travellers boarded the train, the 3 Londoners sat down, but the 3 Northerners crammed into a toilet together and closed the door.

Shortly after the train set off the conductor came around to collect tickets. He knocked on the toilet door and said, "tickets please." the door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The Conductor took it and moved on.

The Southerners saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea.. Indeed, so clever that they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save some money.

That evening after the game when they got to Euston, they bought a single ticket for the return trip while to their astonishment the 3 Lancashire lads didn't even buy 1 ticket.

"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one of the perplexed Cockneys. "Tha must watch and learn", answered one of the Lancastrians.

When they boarded the train the 3 Cockneys crammed themselves into a toilet and the 3 Lancashire lads crammed themselves into another toilet.

Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Lancastrians left their toilet and walked over to the Cockney's toilet. He knocked on the door and said "ticket please".



There's just no way on God's green earth to explain why Cockneys are so cockey!

WHY SENIORS NEED NEWSPAPERS


I was visiting my daughter last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper....

"This is the 21st century," she said. "We don't waste money on newspapers.
Here, use my iPad."

We live in a country called Daftland
The England we knew is no more
Where sensible people do ludicrous things
Or risk breaking some Daftland law.

In Daftland we've police dogs with muzzles
Less the villain has cause to complain
And to steal from a shop and say 'sorry'
Means your free with no stain to your name.

You had better leave lights on in buildings
When you lock up and go home at night
'cause the burglars might hurt themselves entering
And there's no way you'll be in the right.

When speaking be wary in Daftland
As some terms that you've used all your life
Now have connotations unintended
And you'll end up in all sorts of strife.

We elect politicians in Daftland
To give us the laws of the land
Yet eight laws in ten now come from abroad
The whole thing has got out of hand.

The borders are open in Daftland
And of migrants there's no keeping track
Just a few of the thousands illegally here
Will ever be caught and sent back.

The exception to this is the hero
Who fought for this land in the war
He's old and he's sick, he might cost us a bit
So he's not welcome here any more.

When the history is written of Daftland
Historians may just recall
That the craziest people in Daftland
Were the public who put up with it all.

Tony Blair and David Cameron somehow turned up at the same barber shop.

As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken.

The barbers were both afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics.

As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Blair in his chair reached for the aftershave.

Blair stopped him, saying, "No thanks, Cherie will smell that and think I've been in a brothel."

The second barber turned to Cameron and said, "How about you, Mr Cameron?"

Cameron replied, "Go ahead, my wife doesn't know what the inside of a brothel smells like".

Couldn't you have sort of hidden it in and put a marker on it warning it was potentially offensive and not to venture any further if easily offended...

...so that the serially nosey like me could see it.

probably better described as 'a full house' :)

Whilst I was not offended, I think it was fair to describe much of it as offensive. It still made me smile tho'.

See that's the strange thing.

If you find it funny, you don't find it offensive. The fact that someone else might find it offensive is or should be up to them.

There are a lot of things said within humour that have no relevance outside of that humour.

I was a bit of both, I wasn't offended by any of it, but neither was it funny either.

I don't think funny and offensive are mutually exclusive.

There are plenty of jokes, racist, sexist, those that do the rounds after a natural disaster, which might raise a titter. They're still offensive though.

Dog's joke seemed fairly tame to me. One of our teachers around 3rd year of Grammer school marched into a stuffy classroom and threw windows open complaining that 'it smells like a Turkish brothel in here'.

The class wag, with admirable speed, asked 'how do you know what a Turkish brothel smells like Sir?'

collapse of entire class (or at least those who knew what a brothel was).

Yes, I take the point...but what I meant was, if the recipient finds it funny, then they themselves are not offended by it, are they?

Yes, yes, it can be offensive, but you yourself are not offended.

You can have:

- non offensive and no one offended
- offensive and no one offended
- offensive and someone offended

and presumably

- non offensive and someone offended

If a recipient has no real problem with it..why would it need to be censured just because someone else might be?*....let the other person deal with it.

Half the time the people some folk think will be offended are not.

* unless it were so glaringly obviously over the top..e.g. Frankie Boyle on occasions

OK, consider me educated! I had never regarded them as synonyms, but a bit of browsing shows that everybody else does :)

I still think that a joke told in a group enviroment, ( for example in a family situation, where values are different for an older generation), could be offensive to others, but not to me, so I would describe it as being in bad taste.

Its offensive, because it could offend a religious group.


This is bad taste.

No particular group or race has been offended, but anyone can be horrified by the sheer gruesomeness of it if they want.


Both sets are hilarious. Offensive and Bad taste can be funny.

There's no difference between offensiveness and bad taste. You offend Muslims or bunny-huggers or people of delicate sensibility.

I often avoided Bernard Manning, so one or two of Perro's racist jokes made me snigger.

You can disagree, you can criticise strongly but you don't have the right to offend them. Your view is just another delusion in effect. Gives the right of the religious to offend you in whatever manner they choose as you would to them.

>> Its offensive, because it could offend a religious group.


This is the old tree, forest, sound, nobody there thing.

Is it offensive because it could offend, as you say, or, as the other side say, is it offensive only if somebody takes offence? And further, they might say, if you yourself don't take offense, then you can't declare it to be so?

I suspect the whole thing is further muddied because the common view of the word and its meanings are now confused with the legal word and its meanings; those two sets might overlap but inevitably won't be a perfect match.

No its not. I know, you know and everyone else knows that if you make jokes about allah a large proportion of the muslim world are going to be offended. Even you can hear that tree crashing down surely?

Sure - but it's only offensive if they say it is. In effect, YOU can't find it offensive or declare it to be so unless YOU are offended.

Although I don't know why I'm posting that, because I happen to agree with you, which is partly why I also whinged about Dog's (very poor) jokes but anyway, that's my understanding of the "opposing" view.

Perhaps a proponent of that view might actually take up the cudgels, if I have it right, but now I must do some work.

>> find it offensive or declare it to be so unless YOU are offended.

People are only offensive because they know the other person will be offended. NO point in being offensive otherwise. One does not need to be told on meeting someone "will be offended by x"

Therefore I can say xxxx is offensive* because I know it will offend yyyyy. Thats nothing to do with being "offended on someone else's behalf" or being "one of the professionally offended" ( a phrase only uttered but the racist biggots to excuse their behaviour)


*I will concede however that some people have no idea on earth where that line stops and expand it well beyond scope. Most normal people however know.

Who cares if someone is offended or not? As long as what you write or say is not illegal then you have every right to say it, those of us who do take umbradge should just man up a bit and move on.

Free speech is worthless if you have to worry about someone taking offence every time you exercise it.

Perhaps there could be a Dog's jokes thread, where you would be assured that the jokes would likely be racist, sexist, homo-phobic, or just common (or garden) anti-Zionist, where those of a nervous disposition, or have led a sheltered life would be forewarned to avoid, maybe.

If you have ever observed primary school children while waiting for your offspring at a school gate or whatever you have surely been amused by their propensity to spend more time arguing about what the rules of a given game should be rather than playing the actual game.

One might reasonably imagine or suppose that adults have usually grown out of that. This thread would apparently seem to disprove that theory however...

I am happily reading a 'Brief History of Swearing' whose main title even wouldn't get past the mods on a bad day. I long to quote from it but can't really.

Zounds! 'Sblood! The bad words come and go. These days racist epithets are among the most offensive... and are nevertheless embraced sometimes by their ostensible targets and worn as a badge of pride, the Y word and N word among others.

I am hoping the author, a sprauncy American lady, will get round to the very bizarre Jamaican canon of menstruation oaths (one of which I have made my password to this site).

It was like that in one or two of the ones I went to that had girls. Nevertheless adventurous souls of both genders managed forms of social communication. I thought 'behind the bike sheds' would indicate that it wasn't really socially sanctioned... times have changed though.

No one here seems to have a clue what school was like (I say 'was' because proper schools don't seem to exist any more). It's all very well Perro saying he didn't like it, but I don't suppose he turned up more than one day in three, and probably left early too. I do agree with him about the prefect archetype. Fascist carphounds most of them if not quite all.

I doubt if anyone can beat my score of eight. Two of those were very good indeed, two were more or less useless, and the (two) posh ones were somewhere in the middle but good for one's demeanour in a way.

But I'm not properly educated. For that you need three good schools and a serious attitude. So you don't look a prat, as I did, when by some fluke, with a bit of nudging from connected pedagogues, you get into a decent university.

Even the useless schools were valuable life experience though. Now that the die is cast and I'll never be rich or successful I value those memories.

I ended up with an older woman at a pub last night. ...

She looked OK for her age. In fact, she wasn’t too bad at all, and I found myself thinking that she probably had a really hot daughter.

We drank a bit, had a bit of a snuggle, and then she asked if I’d ever had a ‘Sportsman’s Double’.

“What’s that?” I asked, thinking maybe a beer and whisky mix.

“A mother and daughter threesome,” she said.

I said “No”, excitedly,...”Never had one of those.”

We drank some more, then she said that tonight was my ‘lucky night’.

So we went back to her place.

She put on the hall light and shouted upstairs,

“Mum, you still awake?”

Bill has a row with his wife about her housekeeping and storms off down the pub with her shouting after him, "And you can sleep in the spare room tonight"

After a few pints he feels a bit guilty because maybe he's being mean to her after all and he makes up his mind to give her an increase. He gets home and the house is in darkness, so he creeps upstairs and as he passes the spare room the door is ajar and he can hear her gently snoozing. With a grin on his face he decides to give her a little treat, so he quietly goes in and sees a soft female form lying face down under the duvet. Down on his knees he gets and starts licking the back of her thigh, working slowly and gently up till he's pleasuring her with his tongue. He hears her giggle then start to purr and moan, before eventually giving an excited gasp and a shudder before sighing and laying still. Giving her a playful slap on the bottom he gets up and says,

"Wait till I get back, if you think that was nice I'm going to give you a seeing to like you've never had before"

With that he leaves the spare room and heads into the bathroom. As he goes in he's astonished to see his wife lying in the bath with a glass of wine and a book and exclaims loudly,

"What the hell...."

She glares at him,

"Shut up you fool, you'll wake your mother. She's come to pay us a visit and she's asleep in the spare room."

 Dead Duck - Manatee
A woman took her pet duck to the vet's. The vet examined the duck and pronounced it dead.

The lady was clearly distressed and asked for a second opinion. The vet was very understanding, and briefly left the room before returning with a Labrador retriever.

The dog sniffed the duck, licked it and gave it a prod with his paw. Then he looked at the vet and shook his head.

The poor woman would still not accept that her cherished pet was dead.

The vet disappeared again and came back with a tabby cat. The cat pawed the duck a few times, cocked an ear at it, then meowed and shook her head at the vet.

The vet said he was sorry but there was absolutely no doubt that the duck was dead, extinct, deceased, no more, and presented his bill for £150.

The owner was aghast - "£150 to me my duck is dead! That can't be right!"

"Well", said the vet "had you taken my word for it, it would have been £20, but with the lab report and the cat scan..."

Sitting in a saloon one Saturday night, an up and coming gunfighter recognized an elderly man standing at the bar who, in his day had the reputation of being the fastest gun in the West.

The young cowboy took a place next to the old-timer, bought him a drink and told him the story of his great ambition.
'Do you think you could give me some tips?' he asked.

The old man looked him up and down and said, 'Well, for one thing, you're wearing your gun too high. Tie the holster a little lower down on your leg.'

'Will that make me a better gunfighter?' asked the young man.

'Sure will,' replied the old-timer. The young man did as he was told, stood up, whipped out his 44 and shot the bow tie off the piano player.

'That's terrific!' said the hot shot. 'Got any more tips for me?'

'Yep,' said the old man. 'Cut a notch out of your holster where the hammer hits it. That'll give you a smoother draw.'

'Will that make me a better gunfighter?' asked the younger man.

'You bet it will,' said the old-timer. The young man took out his knife, cut the notch, stood up, drew his gun in a blur, and then shot a cufflink off the piano player.

'Wow!' exclaimed the cowboy, 'I'm learnin' somethin' here. Got any more tips?'

The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon. See that axle grease in the can over there? Coat your gun with it.'

The young man went over to the can and smeared some of the grease on the barrel of his gun.

'No,' said the old-timer, 'I mean smear it all over the gun, handle and all.'

'Will that make me a better gunfighter?' asked the young man.

'No,' said the old-timer, 'but when Wyatt Earp gets done playing the piano, he's gonna shove that gun up your ass, and it won't hurt as much.'

An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Wyoming. Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.
Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife; "Notice anything different about me Margie?"

Margaret looked him over. "Nope''.

Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots. Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, "Notice anything different NOW?"

Margaret looked up and said in her best deadpan, "Bert, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow."
Furious, Bert yelled, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?"

"Nope. Not a clue", she replied.

"IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW
BOOTS!"

Without missing a beat Margaret replied, "Should have bought a hat, Bert."

Suddenly he tripped and fell in the water. I rushed over and saw he was in trouble 'cos of the extra weight. I thought " I'm an English gentleman, I can't let him drown " So I contacted the police, fire and ambulance to help. Thinking further, I contacted the coastguard as well.

Me ole mam's poor old dog died last week. I thought I'd try and cheer her up a bit so after some searching I found her an identical one.

I thought she'd be pleased but she went mad !

"What the hell am I supposed to do with two dead dogs ?" she complained.

Pinocchio enters. After half an hour he returns with tears in his eyes.
"What happened?" they asked.

This one might be a bit "near", but we'll see.

Man goes the Dr and complains he can't get his wife pregnant. So the Dr gives him a jar and asks him to bring back a semen sample in the morning.

The next day, the man goes back, but the jar is empty.

"What happened?", asks the doc.

"Well", says the man...

First I tried with my right hand. Nothing. Then I tried with my left. Still nothing.

So I called the wife in. She tried with her right hand. No go. Then her left. Nope.

So then she tried with her mouth. She tried with her teeth in and with her teeth out. No go.

Then we called the neighbour in and she tried with her right hand and then her left. Still nothing.

So I'm sorry, Dr, we simply couldn't get the lid off.

Only An Aussie Can Make You Feel Like A Woman

A plane passed through a severe storm. The turbulence was awful, and things went from bad to worse when one wing was struck by lightning. One woman lost it completely. She stood up in the front of the plane and screamed, 'I'm too young to die,' she cried. Then she yelled, 'If I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there anyone on this plane who
can make me feel like a WOMAN?' For a moment, there was silence. Everyone stared at the
desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then the man from Australia stood up in the rear of the plane. He was handsome, tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Slowly, he started to walk up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt as he went, one button at a time. No one moved. He removed his shirt. Muscles rippled across his chest. She gasped...
Then, he spoke... 'Iron this -- and then get me a beer.'

To my friends and family,

With Christmas upon us I would like to share a personal experience with you about drinking and driving.
As you may know some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a "social session" out with friends.
Well, three days ago I was out for an evening with friends, and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine.
Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly over the limit.
That's when I did something that I've never done before - I took a cab home.
Sure enough on the way home there was a police road block, but since it was a cab they waved it past.
I arrived home safely without incident.

This was a real surprise as I had never driven a cab before, I don't know where I got it and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it.

Merry Christmas,

An Alabama pastor said to his congregation: "Someone in this congregation has spread a rumour that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan.

This is a horrible lie and one which a Christian community cannot tolerate.

I am embarrassed and do not intend to accept this.

Now, I want the party who said this to stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian family."

No one moved.

The preacher continued, "Do you have the nerve to face me and admit this is a falsehood?
Remember, you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel glory.

Now stand and confess your transgression."

Again, all was quiet.

Then, slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous blonde with a body that would stop a runaway train rose from the third pew.

Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke: "Reverend there has been a terrible misunderstanding. I never said you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

I simply told a couple of my friends that you were a wizard under the sheets."

The preacher fell to his knees, his wife fainted and the congregation roared.

On a bitterly cold winter's morning a husband and wife in Dublin were listening to the radio during breakfast.
They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today.
You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowploughs can get through."

So the wife went out and moved her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today.
You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowploughs can get through."

The wife went out and moved her car again.

The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today.
You must park....", then the electric power went out.

The wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "I don't know what to do.
Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowploughs can get through?"

Then with the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to blondes exhibit, the husband replied,

"Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"

Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn.

This is slightly out of place since it's not a joke but a true story. Many years ago, I lived in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, and needed to get to Edinburgh without using a car since I was picking one up from there. To do that trip, I first had to go by rail to Glasgow, and from there, I could catch a train to Edinburgh.

On the train to Edinburgh, I was sat opposite a group of older women. One lady opened her mouth when the train started moving, and talked both continuously and loudly. After about an hour, she complained of a pain in her throat.

I really don't know how I resisted saying, "if you shut up a bit, your throat would hurt less"

Scottish Blood Donor

A Sheikh was admitted to Hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to have some of his blood type stored in case the need arose.
As the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally, so, the call went out. Finally a Scotsman was located who had the same rare blood type. The Scot willingly donated his blood for the Sheikh.
After the surgery, the Sheikh sent the Scotsman, as appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, a diamond necklace for his wife, and $100,000 US dollars.
A couple of days later, the Sheikh had to go through a corrective surgery procedure. Once again, his doctor telephoned the Scotsman who was more than happy to donate his blood.
After the second surgery, the Sheikh sent the Scotsman a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street chocolates. The Scotsman was shocked that the Sheikh did not reciprocate his kind gesture as he had anticipated.
He phoned the Sheikh and asked him: "I thought you would be generous again, that you would give me another BMW, diamonds and money, but you only gave me a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street chocolates."
To this the Sheikh replied: "Aye laddie, but I now have Scottish blood in ma veins".

"First body," says the coroner, "Pierre Dubois, Frenchman, 70, died of heart failure while making love to his 20-year old mistress. Hence the Smile,' says the Coroner.


"Second body is Gregory Campbell, Scotsman, 25, won £50,000 on the Lottery. Spent it all on whisky. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the Smile." he says.

Farmer John once lived on a quiet rural highway but as time went by, the traffic slowly built up and eventually got so heavy and so fast that his free range chickens were being run over, at a rate of three to six a week.

So Farmer John called the local police station to complain, "You've got to do something about all these people driving so fast and killing all my chickens," he said to the local police officer.

"What do you want me to do?" asked the policeman.

"I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!"

So the next day the policeman had the Council erect a sign that said:
SCHOOL CROSSING

Three days later Farmer John called the policeman and said, "You've still got to do something about these drivers. The ‘school crossing' sign seems to make them go even faster!"

So again, they put up a new sign:
SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY.

That really sped them up. So Farmer John called and said, "Your signs are no good. Can I put up my own sign?"

In order to get Farmer John off his back said "Sure. Put up your own sign.

The phone calls to the Police Station stopped, but curiosity got the better of the Officer, so he called Farmer John, “How’s the problem with the speeding drivers. did you put up your sign?"

"Oh, I sure did and not one chicken has been killed.

The policeman was really curious and thought he'd better go out and take a look at the sign. He also thought the sign might be something the Police could use elsewhere, to slow drivers down..

So he drove out to Farmer John's house.

His jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign.

'Impossible!' says the doctor. 'Show me.'

The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed her knee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream.

The doctor said, 'You're not really a redhead, are you?

you forgot about the member who will blame the tory cuts for the failure of the light bulb and explain how if the miners had still been digging coal the power would have been much more stable.

Then there is the member who will moan that he can't buy the exact same replacement lightbulb, blame the EU, and claim global warming is a myth.

Then you will get the member who will complain that the bulb was changed by a minimum wage immigrant, undercutting a home grown worker, despite the fact the last time he tried to get a sparks to do the job he was told to eft off and do it himself.

The management guru member will come on and say the bulb was time served anyway and should have been culled because it was not fit for the job

There will be a row between members one of who is saying the bulb should be a different make and bought from miles away, ignoring the bulb shop next door.

Lastly will be the member who will claim he bought the best brightest most long-lasting lightbulb in the world from his best mate and its never ever going to blow.

New scam - beware - You Have Been Warned.!

Here's how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to you as you are packing your purchases into the back of your car. They both have battery powered car vacuums and start vacuuming the inside of your vehicle, cleaning the inside of your windshield with a cloth and aerosol, with their breasts almost falling out of their blouses.

It is impossible not to look at them. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say, 'No' and instead ask you for a ride into town . You agree and they get into the back seat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, breasts everywhere, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen on March 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the15th, 17th, 20th, the 24th and 29th. Also on April 1st and 2nd, twice on the 3rd, 16th, 23rd, three times last Monday, and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

NAMING A DOG!

Folks generally aren't very creative in choosing names for their dogs.
That's why there are so many named Rover, Tommy and Spot.
But, have you heard the plight of
A fellow, who thought he'd be cute and named his dog " Sex "?
It goes like this:

"One day 'Sex' and I, took a walk and he ran away from me. I spent
Hours looking for that dog.
A policeman came by and asked what I was doing in this alley at
Midnight? I told him I was looking for 'Sex'.
My case comes up next Tuesday."

"But, that ain't the worst part. One day, I went to the town hall to
Get a dog license for 'Sex'.
The clerk asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted a license for 'Sex'.
He said, 'I'd like to have one, too.'
Then, I said, 'You don't understand. She's a dog.'
He said he didn't care how she looked.
When I told him I'd had 'Sex' since I was 5, he said, “You must have
Been an early bloomer."

"When I decided to get married, I told the Priest I wanted to have
'Sex' at the wedding.
He told me I'd have to wait until after the wedding.
When I protested
That 'Sex' had played a big part in my life and that my whole life
Revolved around 'Sex', and I am going to have ‘Sex’ at the wedding he said he will
Have to declare the church ‘out of bounds’ for me forever.

"After my wife and I were married, I took the dog with us on the
Honeymoon. When I checked into the hotel, I told the clerk I wanted a
Room for my wife and wanted one for 'Sex'.
She said. 'Every room in the hotel was for sex.' I said, 'You don't
Understand. 'Sex' keeps me awake at night.' The clerk said, 'Me, too.'

"When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of
The dog. When I told the Judge I had 'Sex' before I was married, he
Grinned and said, “ Me. Too."
"Now that I've been thrown in jail, married, divorced and had more
Trouble with that dog than I ever imagined, I'm in counseling.

My psychiatrist asked me what my problem was. I said
'Sex' has died
And left my life. It's like losing a best friend and
I'm so lonely,' I
Told him.

He said, “Look, you and I both know that 'sex' isn't man's best friend.
Get yourself a dog."

A MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN

To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except North Dakota, which she does not fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

-----------------------

1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').

------------------------

2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.'

-------------------

3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

-----------------

4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.

----------------------

5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

----------------------

6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

--------------------

7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.

-------------------

8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

-------------------

9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

---------------------

10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialect in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.

---------------------

11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

---------------------

12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.

--------------------

13.. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

-----------------

14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

---------------

15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

God Save the Queen!

You will also be required to ban any women over size 12 from wearing white trousers ( look that up if need be )

You will keep your voices down when in public, especially when in Europe instead of sounding like a gaggle of garden strimmers.

It will no longer be permitted to smother cheese on other random hot food products

Whooping at public speakers or musical performances will become an imprisonable offence.

Not only will baseball be banned, but the wearing of baseball caps will be regarded as an act of public indecency.

You must also understand that golf balls are inanimate objects and as such are unable to hear anything you tell them. Thus shouting "Get in the hole" after a player has made his putting stroke is not necessary, irritating to everyone else and will be banned.

Oxford University researchers have discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

I was absolutely disgusted by what happened on the beach yesterday. There was a bloke and his wife having a huge argument in front of the kids. Eventually the man started beating up the wife. Anyway, someone must have called the police because a policeman arrived. He tried to intervene but in the end he had to drew his truncheon. Unfortunately, the man was so angry he managed to get hold of the truncheon and attacked the policeman as well. The whole thing was terrifying.

My friend was in a similar situation some years ago when his much-loved twin pet monkeys contracted some sort of virus and died suddenly.
He took them to the local taxidermist, who told him it would be no problem at all to stuff them. The taxidermist said 'would you like them mounted'?
My friend said 'No, no, just holding hands will be fine'.

Incidentally, some years ago the father of one of my trainee reporters was a member of a group of amateur taxidermists in South Wales. Because professional taxidermy is no longer a common craft in the UK (unlike in France...) they were contracted to stuff a young giraffe and he had to remove part of his garage roof so the job could be done. This is absolutely true.

Young Paddy invited his mother for dinner. During the course of the meal his mother couldn't help but notice how lovely Paddy's flat mate, Joanne, was.

She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this only made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between young Paddy and his flat mate than met the eye.

Reading his mum's thoughts, Paddy volunteered, 'I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Joanne & I are just flat mates'.

About a week later, Joanne came to Paddy saying, 'Ever since your mother came to dinner I've been unable to find the frying pan, you don't suppose she took it do you?'

'Well I doubt it, but I'll e-mail her just to be sure' said Paddy.

So he sat down and wrote

DEAR MOTHER,

I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DID' TAKE THE FRYING PAN FROM MY HOUSE. I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DID NOT' TAKE THE FRYING PAN BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IT HAS BEEN MISSING EVER SINCE YOU WERE HERE FOR DINNER.
LOVE PADDY



Several days later, Paddy received an email from his mother which read



DEAR SON,

I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DO' SLEEP WITH JOANNE, AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DO NOT' SLEEP WITH JOANNE,
BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IF SHE WAS SLEEPING IN HER OWN BED, SHE WOULD HAVE FOUND THE FRYING PAN BY NOW!

LOVE MAM.

For similar reasons none of Tom's other friends or his family want anything to do with him. After a month or two he decides being a shark's not all it's cracked up to be and goes off in search of the mysterious shoal. Eventually he finds them and his wish to be a crustacean again is granted.

As fast as he can he swims back home and seeks out his friend who immediately quivers with fright at sound of his voice.

 Greek Jokes - Zero
Some years ago a small rural town in Spain twinned with a similar town in Greece.
The mayor of the Greek town visited the Spanish town. When he saw the palatial mansion belonging to the Spanish mayor, he wondered aloud how on earth he could afford such a house.

The Spaniard replied: ‘You see that bridge over there? The EU gave us a grant to construct a two-lane bridge, but by building a single lane bridge with traffic lights at either end, I could also build this place.’

The following year the Spaniard visited the Greek town. He was simply amazed at the Greek mayor's house: gold taps, marble floors, diamond doorknobs, it was marvellous.

When he asked how he’d raised the money to build this incredible house, the Greek mayor said: ‘You see that bridge over there?’

The Spaniard replied: No?

 Behaviour in public - Falkirk Bairn
Saw this yesterday and wondered what your opinion was.

Quote from letters in DT yesterday

Sometimes I despair of the society in which we live and how standards of behaviour have deteriorated - I do not envy the police, who have to deal with it.

Yesterday, it being a pleasant afternoon, I visited a small seaside town not far from where I live. After a pub-lunch, I took a wee stroll along the seafront and I saw a man and a woman, who had pitched a tent on the beach, having an almighty argument in front of a number of children. The screeching and shouting were almost unintelligible but as far as I could make out, the row seemed to be over what they were going to have for dinner.

Suddenly the woman smacked the man in the head, then it all kicked off and while they were giving it laldy, some concerned onlooker must have called the police. Just one policeman turned up on his own and tried to calm things down, but this only served to enrage the man further and he started shouting threats and became increasingly violent. Eventually the policeman was forced to draw his baton to defend himself but after a struggle, the man managed to snatch it from him and used it to attack both the hapless bobby and the woman.

Then amidst the confusion, from out of nowhere, a crocodile crept up and stole all their sausages.

Yesterday my daughter again asked why I didn't do something useful with my time.

Talking about my "doing something useful" seemed to be her favorite topic of conversation.
She was "only thinking of me" and suggested I go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys.

I did this and when I got home last night I decided to teach her a lesson about staying out of my business. I told her that I had joined a parachute club. She said, "Are you nuts? You 're almost 72 years old and you 're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"

I proudly showed her that I even got a membership card. She said to me, "Good grief, where are your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club." "I 'm in trouble again, and I don 't know what to do... I signed up for five jumps a week."

I told her. She fainted. Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier but sometimes it can be fun.

 How old is grandma? - Dog
Some education for our kids and grandkids!!! (I have seen similar before but it is still incredible when you see the changes in a brief period of time).



Read this to the end. The answer to the question may surprise you/






How Old is grandma?
Stay with this -- the answer is at the end. It will blow you away.

One evening a grandson was talking to his grandmother about current events.
The grandson asked his grandmother what she thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.

The Grandmother replied, "Well, let me think a minute, I was born before:
• television
• penicillin
• polio shots
• frozen foods
• Xerox
• contact lenses
• Frisbees and
• the pill

There were no:
• credit cards
• laser beams or
• ball-point pens

Man had not yet invented:
• pantyhose
• air conditioners
• dishwashers
• clothes dryers
• and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and
• man hadn't yet walked on the moon


Your Grandfather and I got married first, and then lived together.
Every family had a father and a mother.
Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, "Sir."
And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, "Sir."
We were before gay-rights, computer-dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.
Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.
We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.
Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.
We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent.
Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins.
Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started.
Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends -not purchasing condominiums.


We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.
We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on our radios.
And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.
If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk.
The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam.
Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.
We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.
Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel.
And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.
You could buy a new Ford Coupe for $600, but who could afford one?
Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.

In my day:
• "grass" was mowed,
• "coke" was a cold drink,
• "pot" was something your mother cooked in and
• "rock music" was your grandmother's lullaby.
• "Aids" were helpers in the Principal's office,
• "chip" meant a piece of wood,
• "hardware" was found in a hardware store and.
• "software" wasn't even a word.

And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.
No wonder people call us "old and confused" and say there is a generation gap.
How old do you think I am?







I bet you have this old lady in mind. You are in for a shock!
Read on to see -- pretty scary if you think about it and pretty sad at the same time.

Are you ready?????




This woman would be only 63 years old, Born in 1952. [The same year as me!!]

Yeah, that doesn't work at all, does it. She needs to be about 15 years older than that to get somewhere near, I reckon.

From wikipedia:

"The first electric typewriter was produced by the Blickensderfer Manufacturing Company, of Stamford, Connecticut, in 1902."

To say nothing of the phrase 'Boston Marriage'.

Usual Christian-tinged, right wing, sepia-tined, American nostalgia rubbish. People seriously believe there weren't any "gays" before about 1960, and even if there were it's some kind of good thing that they had no rights. Laughable.

This is the sort of crud my credulous, Canadian, evangelical born-again relatives spam me with in emails. Relatives. Ugh. Withnail had it right about them.

A man boarded an aircraft at London's Heathrow Airport for New York, and taking his seat as he settled in, he noticed a very beautiful woman boarding the plane.

He realised she was heading straight toward his seat and bingo - she took the seat right beside him.

"Hello", he blurted out, "Business trip or vacation?"

She turned, smiled enchantingly and said, "Business. I'm going to the annual Nymphomaniac convention in the United States ."

He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs!

Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?"

"Lecturer," she responded,” I use my experience to disprove some of the popular myths about sexuality.."

"Really", he smiled, "what myths are those?"

"Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.

Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Greek descent.

We have also found that the best potential lovers in all categories are the Irish."

Suddenly the woman became uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said. "I really shouldn't be discussing this with you, I don't even know your name!"

"Tonto," the man said. "Tonto Papadopoulos, but my friends call me Paddy."

Two Irishmen, Paddy and Shane, are out looking for work and they see a sign near a forest saying Tree Fellers Wanted.
"That's a shame" says Shane, "if only Mick was here we could apply for them jobs."

Anyway Paddy and Shane soon get jobs working at the local sawmill.

One day, Shane slips and his arm gets caught and severed by the big bench saw.
Paddy quickly puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Shane to the local hospital.

Next day, Paddy goes to the hospital and asks after Shane. The nurse says, "Oh he's out in Rehab exercising".
Paddy couldn't believe it, but there's Shane out the back exercising his now re-attached arm.
The very next day he's back at work in the saw mill.

A couple of days go by, and then Shane slips and severs his leg on another ****** big saw.
So Paddy puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Shane off to Hospital.

Next day he calls in to see him and asks the nurse how he is.
The nurse replies, "He's out in the Rehab again exercising".
And sure enough, there's Shane out there doing some serious work on the treadmill.
And within a couple of day Shane comes back to work.

But, as usual, within a few days he has another accident and this time severs his head.
Wearily Paddy puts the head in a plastic bag and transports it and Shane to hospital.

Next day he goes in and asks the nurse how Shane is.
The nurse breaks down and cries and says, "He's dead."
Paddy is shocked, but not surprised. "I suppose the saw finally did him in."
"No", says the nurse, "Some dopey ******* put his head in a plastic bag and he suffocated".

One morning a mother was trying hard to wake up her son.

"Wake up now! It's the first day of school. You don't want to be late."

"I don't want to go to school," the son replied.

His mother said: "Give me two reasons why you don't want to go to school."

"Okay. One, all the children hate me. Two, all the teachers hate me."

"Not good enough," the mother replied.

"Fine," the son said. "Then you give me two good reasons why I SHOULD go to school."

"One, you're 52 years old. Two, you're the headmaster."

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son. "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car.” The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they
agreed on it.

After about six weeks, his father said "Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut.”

The boy said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.”

The father replied quite smartly ,"Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?”

A petrol station owner in Dublin was trying to increase his sales. So, he put up a sign that read, 'Free Sex with Fill-Up.'

Soon Paddy pulled in, filled his tank and asked for his free sex. The owner told him to pick a number from 1 to 10. If he guessed correctly, he would get his free sex. Paddy guessed 8, and the proprietor said, 'You were close. The number was 7. Sorry. No sex this time.'

A week later, Paddy, along with his friend Mick, pulled in for another Fill-up. Again he asked for his free sex. The proprietor again gave him the same story, and asked him to guess the correct number. Paddy guessed 2 this time. The proprietor said, 'Sorry, it was 3. You were close, but no free sex this time.'

As they were driving away, Mick said to Paddy, 'I think that game is rigged and he doesn't really give away free sex.' Paddy replied, 'No it ain't, Mick. It's not rigged at all at all. My wife won twice last week!!..

An old Dr. Geezer became very bored in retirement and decided to open a clinic.
He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's clinic. Specialist treatment for £500. If not cured, you get back £1,000."
Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old Dr.Geezer didn't know beans about modern medicine, thought this would
be a great opportunity to make a quick £1,000. So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.
Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me??"
Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."
Dr. Young: “Aaagh!! -- That's Petrol!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be £500."
Dr. Young is annoyed and returns after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, -- That's Petrol"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be £500."
Dr. Young (after having lost £1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.
Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything“ he complains.
Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, here's your £1000 back." (giving him a £10 note).
Dr. Young: "But this is only £10!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be £500.

An Afghanistan diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and dined by the State Department. The diplomat was not used to the salt in American foods (French fries, cheeses, salami, anchovies, etc.) and was constantly sending his manservant Abdul to fetch him a glass of water. Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return with a glass of water, but then came the time when he returned empty handed. "Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water?" demanded the diplomat. "A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One," stammered the wretched Abdul, "But a man is sitting on the well!"

Colin was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them."

Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Colin how about Tom Cruise?"

"Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it."

So Colin and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door and sure enough, Tom Cruise shouts, "Colin! Great to see you!

You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch!"

Although impressed, Colin's boss is still sceptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Colin that he thinks Colin's knowing Cruise was just lucky.

"No, no, just name anyone else," Colin says.

"President Obama," his boss quickly retorts. "Yes," Colin says, "I know him, let's fly out to Washington." And off they go.

At the White House, Obama spots Colin on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Colin, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up."

Well, the boss is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced.

After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Colin, who again implores him to name anyone else. "The Pope," his boss replies.

"Sure!" says Colin. "My folks are from Argentina, and I've known the Pope a long time." So off they fly to Rome.

Colin and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Colin says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the Swiss guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican.

Sure enough, half an hour later Colin emerges with the Pope on the balcony but by the time Colin returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss' side, Colin asks him, "What happened?" His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, "Who the heck's that on the balcony with Colin?"

A Photographer for a national magazine was assigned to take pictures of a huge forest fire. He was advised that a small plane would be waiting to take him over the fire.

The photographer arrived at the airstrip just 1 hour before sundown. Sure enough, a small Cessna aircraft was waiting at the start of the runway. He jumped in with all his equipment and shouted "Let's go!".

The tense man sitting in the Pilot's seat swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air, although flying erratically.

"Fly over the north side of the fire!", instructed the photographer, "and make several low passes".

"Why?" asked the nervous pilot.

"Because I'm going to take pictures!" yelled the photographer. "I'm a photographer and photographers take pictures!"

The pilot replied "You mean you're not the flight instructor?"

A man walks into a pharmacy, buys a condom, then walks out of the store laughing hysterically.
The pharmacist thinks this is weird, but, hey, there's no law preventing weird people from buying condoms. Maybe it's a good thing.
The next day, the man comes back to the store, purchases another condom, and once again he leaves the store laughing wildly.
This piques the interest of the pharmacist. What's so funny about buying a rubber, anyway? So he tells his clerk, "If this guy ever comes back, I want you to follow him to see where he goes."
Sure enough, the next day the laugher is back. He buys the condom, starts cracking up, then leaves. The pharmacist tells his clerk to go follow the guy.
About an hour later, the clerk comes back to the store. "Did you follow him? Where did he go?" asks the pharmacist.
The clerk replies "Your house.

In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the fortune teller delivered grave news:
"There's no easy way to tell you this, so I'll just be blunt. Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your mate will die a violent death this year."
Visibly shaken, the woman stared back at the old woman's lined face ... then at the single flickering candle ... then down at her shaking hands.
She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. Her mind raced.
A question forced its way out - she simply had to know!
Meeting the Fortune Teller's gaze and trying very hard to steady her voice, she whispered quietly, "Will I be acquitted?”

A guy goes into the confessional box after years being away from the Catholic Church. He pulls aside the curtain, enters and sits himself down. There's a fully equipped bar with crystal glasses, the best vestry wine, Guinness on tap, cigars and liqueur chocolates nearby, and on the wall a fine photographic display of ladies who appear to have mislaid their garments.

He hears a priest come in: "Father, forgive me for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession and I must admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be".

The priest replies,

"Get out, you idiot. You're in my side".

Far away in the tropical waters of Australia, two prawns were swimming around in the sea -
one called Justin and the other called Christian.

The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that patrolled the area.

Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm bored and frustrated at being a prawn, I wish I was a shark,
then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten..."

Just as Justin had his mind firmly on becoming a predator, a mysterious cod appears and says,
"Your wish is granted", and lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark.

Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate.

Time went on (as it invariably does...) and Justin found himself becoming bored and lonely as a shark.

All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them.

Justin realised that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.

While out swimming alone one day he sees the mysterious cod again and can't believe his luck.

Justin figured that the fish could change him back into a prawn.
He begs the cod to change him back so, lo and behold, he is turned back into a prawn.

With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes, Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail.
(The punch line does not involve a prawn cocktail - it's much worse).

Looking around the gathering at the reef, he searched for his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked.

"He's at home, distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark", came the reply.

Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he set off to Christian's house.

As he opened the coral gate the memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted,
"It's me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again."

"Christian replied "No way man, you'll eat me. You're a shark, the enemy and I'll not be tricked."

Justin cried back "No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed."...(wait for it).

Maria had just gotten married, and being a traditional Italian she was still a virgin.
On her wedding night, staying at her mother's house, she was very nervous. Her mother reassured her; "Don't worry, Maria, Tony's a good man. Go upstairs and he'll take care of you. Meanwhile, I"ll be making pasta."
So, up she went. When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and exposed his hairy chest.
Maria ran downstairs to her mother and says, "Mama, Mama, Tony's got a big hairy chest."
"Don't worry, Maria," says the mother, "all good men have hairy chests. Go upstairs. He'll take good care of you."
So, up she went again. When she got up in the bedroom, Tony took off his pants exposing his hairy legs. Again, Maria ran downstairs to her mother.
"Mama, Mama, Tony took off his pants and he"s got hairy legs!"
"Don't worry! All good men have hairy legs. Tony's a good man. Go upstairs and he'll take good care of you."
So, up she went again. When she got there, Tony took off his socks and on his left foot he was missing three toes. When Maria saw this, she ran downstairs.
"Mama, Mama, Tony's got a foot and a half!"
Her Mama said, "Stay here and stir the pasta."

There were three couples, one elderly, one middle aged, and one newlywed, that wanted to join a church. So the minister tells them that in order to be members they must abstain from sex for two whole weeks.

After two weeks, the minister asks the elderly couple if they had abstained. "Yes, no problem!" So the minister welcomes them to the church.

Then he asks the middle aged couple the same question. "Well, after one week, the husband had to sleep on the couch, but we made it!" So the minister welcomes them to the church.

Then the minister asks the newlywed couple if they had abstained from sex for two weeks.
"We were unable to abstain. On the third day, my wife dropped a can of corn and when she bent over to pick it up, LUST and PASSION overcame me!" "I'm sorry," the minister says, "but you are both banned from this church!"

"That's okay," says the husband, "We were banned from the supermarket, too."

HELL EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT


The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona chemistry mid-term, and an actual answer turned in by a student.

The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :



Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?


Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.


One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely.. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.


Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.




This gives two possibilities:


1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct..... ....leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed, "Dear Lord, I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please create a trade in our bodies." God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to draw out money to pay the power bill and telephone bill, drove to the power company and the phone company and paid the bills, went grocery shopping, came home and put away the groceries. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then it was already 1 pm. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out cookies and milk and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.

At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing greens for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 pm. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love - which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, "Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back."

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll have to wait 9 months, though. You got pregnant last night!

An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer -- you're in the wrong place."

So, the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After awhile, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.

One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"

Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."

God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake -- he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."

Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."

God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."

Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter.

10 men and one woman.

The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave because otherwise they were all going to fall.

They weren't able to choose that person before the woman gave a very touching speech.

She said that she would voluntary let go of the rope.

Because, she explained, as a woman she was used to giving up everything for her husband, her kids and men in general.

She was used to making sacrifices with little in return.

As soon as she had finished her speech all the men started clapping.

The man below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'

'You must be an Engineer,' said the balloonist.

'I am,' replied the man, 'how did you know?'

'Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip by your talk.'

The man below responded, 'You must be in Management.'

'I am,' replied the balloonist, 'but how did you know?'

'Well,' said the man, 'you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems.

A lady went into the lounge, after her husband had left for work and their two girls had gone to school, to find the much loved budgerigar was lying dead in its cage.

She thought they would all be heartbroken when they came home, so she went to the pet shop to buy another one. Unfortunately the only suitable creature there was an attractive parrot. The shop owner said it was a lovely creature but its last home was a brothel and it had picked up some rather unsavoury language. The lady said there were a broad-minded family and she bought him.

On being put in the lounge the parrot peered all around and said “Umm, looks very comfortable”.

A little later the two daughters came home. The parrot looked them up and down and remarked that they were a couple of well brought up children.

An hour later the husband came home and on entering the lounge the parrot immediately said “Hello Keith!”

“Perhaps a small poem,” suggested the woman at the desk.

‘Nay,’ he said, ‘she wunt ‘ave wanted anything la-di-da.
Just put; ‘Gladys Braithwaite’s died”.

“You need to say when,’ he was told by the receptionist.

‘Do I? Well, put died 17th March 2015. That’ll do.

’‘It is usual for the bereaved to add some meaningful phrase about the dearly departed.

’The man considered for a moment. ‘Well, put in, ‘Sadly missed.’ That’ll do,’ he said.

‘You can have another four words,’ the woman explained.
‘No, no!’ he cried, ‘she wouldn’t ‘ave wanted me to splash out.’

“The words are included in the price,’ the woman informed him.
‘Are they? You mean I’ve paid for ‘em?

‘Yes, indeed.

’‘Well, if I’ve paid for ‘em exclaimed the man, ‘I’m ‘avin’ ‘em.

’The obituary was duly printed as follows:

A couple were in a busy shopping centre just before Christmas. The queues for every counter, and the check-out tills were enormous. The husband was bored witless; he told his wife that he would have a wander around and would be back in a little while before she got to the check-out.

The wife finally made it through to the head of the check-out queue and paid her bill, but the husband was nowhere to be seen, and they still had more shopping to do. The wife called him on his mobile. She said, "Where are you?" He said, "You remember the jewellers we went into about 10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I couldn't afford it at the time and I said that one day I would get it for you."

Tears started to flow down her cheeks and she got all choked up. "Yes, I do remember

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport lounge in Bozeman, Montana, awaiting their flights. One is an American Indian, passing thru from Lame Deer.

Another is a cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show. And the third is a fundamentalist Arab student from the Middle East, newly arrived at Montana State University.


Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two
Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.

The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around and the old windsock is flapping, but still no plane comes.

Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly speaks. "At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."

The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"

The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth, and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a drawl, "That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'".

Because of his stupidity and clumsiness, his teacher, was always yelling at him, "You're driving me crazy, Tyrone!"

One day, Tyrone's Mother came to school to check on how he was doing. The teacher told his Mother honestly, that her son was simply a disaster, getting very low marks, and that she had never seen such a stupid boy in her entire teaching career.

The Mother was so shocked at the feedback that she withdrew her son from school and moved out of London, and relocated to Birmingham.

Twenty-five years later, the teacher was diagnosed with an almost incurable cardiac disease. All the doctors strongly advised her to have open heart surgery, but there was only one surgeon in Britain who could perform the operation and he was located at the Birmingham Clinic. Left with no other options, the teacher decided to have the operation, which was successful.

When she came round after surgery she saw a handsome young doctor smiling down at her. She wanted to thank him, but could not talk. Her face started to turn blue, she raised her hand, trying to tell him something but quickly died. The doctor was shocked, wondering what could possibly have gone wrong so suddenly. Then he turned around and saw our friend Tyrone, a janitor in the Clinic, who had unplugged the life-support equipment in order to connect his vacuum cleaner.

If you thought for one moment that Tyrone had become a heart-surgeon there is a high likelihood that you voted for Jeremy Corbyn.

Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat, contemplating ecological issues, on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.

The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said: "Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am, and then, my sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in your castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."

That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on a repast of lightly sautéed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled and thought to herself: "I don't think so."

"First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster."

He takes her hand and says, "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then," he said with a deep sigh ............

I thought we'd had this one before, but I can't find it.

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.

"Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."

He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"

Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.

She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other.

She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."

The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely:

Are - my - test - results - back?"

Prince Charles is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full of patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and greets one.

The patient replies:

"Fair fa your honest sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin race,
Aboon them a ye take yer place,
Painch, tripe or thairm,
As langs my airm."

Charles is confused, so he just grins and moves on to the next patient. The patient responds:

"Some hae meat an canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat an we can eat,
So let the Lord be thankit."

Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the Prince moves on to the next patient, who immediately begins to chant:

"Wee sleekit, cowerin, timrous beasty,
O the panic in thy breasty,
Thou needna start awa sae hastie,
Wi bickering brattle."

Now seriously troubled, Charles turns to the accompanying doctor and asks "Is this a psychiatric ward?"

"No," replies the doctor, "this is the serious Burns Unit."

Female Compassion At Its Best


Barrie returned from a doctor's visit one day and told his wife, Carolyn that the doctor said he only had 24 hours to live.

Wiping away her tears, he asked her to make love with him.

Of course she agreed and they made passionate love.

Six hours later, Barry went to her again, and said, 'Honey, now I only have 18 hours left to live maybe we could make love again?'

Carolyn agreed and again they made love.

Later, Barry was getting into bed when he realized he now had only eight hours of life left.

He touched Carolyn's shoulder and said,
'Honey? Please? Just one more time before I die.'

She agreed, then afterward she rolled over and fell asleep.

Barry, however, heard the clock ticking in his head, and he tossed and turned until he was down to only four more hours.

He tapped his wife on the shoulder to wake her up. 'Honey, I only have four hours left! Could we...?'

His wife sat up abruptly, turned to him and said,

'Listen Barry, I'm not being funny...But.











...some of us have to get up in the morning

Bruce the Rooster

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business.
She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.

This took a lot of time, so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters.
Each bell had a different tone, so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing.
Now, she could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

Sarah's favourite rooster, old Bruce, was a very fine specimen but, this morning she noticed old Bruce's bell hadn't rung at all! When she went to investigate, she saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

To Sarah's amazement, old Bruce had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.
He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job, and walk on to the next one.

Sarah was so proud of old Bruce, she entered him in the Darwin Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Bruce the "No Bell Peace Prize" they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.
Clearly old Bruce was a politician in the making.

Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?

Vote carefully in the next election. You can't always hear the bells.

Howl wonderfully British.

In a train from London to Manchester, an American was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment.

"The trouble with you English is that you are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much.
You think your stiff upper lip makes you above the rest of us. Look at me...I'm me! I have a little Italian in me, a bit of Greek blood, a little Irish and some Spanish blood.

What do you say to that?"



The Englishman lowered his newspaper, looks over his glasses and replied,



"How very sporting of your mother!"

One Monday morning the postman was walking through the village on his usual route delivering the mail.
As he approached one of the homes, he noticed that both cars were still in the driveway.
This was because the homeowners were normally on their way to work at this time
His curiosity was cut short by Craig, the homeowner, coming out with a load of empty beer, wine and spirit bottles for the recycling bin.
"Wow Craig, looks like you guys had one hell of a party last night"’
the Postman commented.
Craig, in obvious pain, replied,
‘Actually we had it Saturday night.
This is the first time I have felt like moving since 4 am Sunday morning.
We had about 15 couples from around the village over for some weekend fun and it got a bit wild.
We all got so drunk around midnight that we started playing
WHO AM I?’
The Postman thought for a moment and said,
‘How do you play WHO AM I?’
‘Well, all the guys go in the bedroom and come out one at a time covered with a sheet with only the ‘family jewels’ showing through a hole in the sheet.
Then the women try to guess who it is..’
The postman laughed and said,
‘Sounds like fun, I’m sorry I missed it.’
‘Probably a good thing you did,’
Craig responded,
‘Your name came up seven times.’

A golfer playing in Ireland hooked his drive into the woods.
Looking for his ball, he found a little Leprechaun flat on his back, a big bump on his head and the golfer's ball beside him.

Horrified, the golfer got his water bottle from the cart and poured it over the little guy, reviving him.

'Arrgh! What happened?' the Leprechaun asked.

'I'm afraid I hit you with my golf ball,' the golfer says.

'Oh, I see. Well, ye got me fair and square. Ye get three wishes, so whaddya want?'

'Thank God, you're all right!' the golfer answers in relief. 'I don't want anything, I'm just glad you're OK, and I apologize.'

And the golfer walks off.

'What a nice guy,' the Leprechaun says to himself.

I have to do something for him. I'll give him the three things I would want... a great golf game, all the money he ever needs, and a fantastic sex life.'

A year goes by and the golfer is back.
On the same hole, he again hits a bad drive into the woods and the Leprechaun is there waiting for him.

'Twas me that made ye hit the ball here,' the little guy says. 'I just want to ask ye, how's yer golf game?'

'My game is fantastic!' the golfer answers. 'I'm an internationally famous golfer now.' He adds, 'By the way, it's good to see you're all right.'

'Oh, I'm fine now, thank ye. I did that fer yer golf game, you know. And tell me, how's yer money situation?'

'Why, it's just wonderful!' the golfer states. 'When I need cash, I just reach in my pocket and pull out $100 bills I didn't even know were there!'

'I did that fer ye also.' And tell me, how's yer sex life?'

The golfer blushes, turns his head away in embarrassment, and says shyly, 'It's OK.'

C'mon, c'mon now,' urged the Leprechaun, 'I'm wanting to know if I did a good job. How many times a week?'

Blushing even more, the golfer looks around then whispers, 'Once, sometimes twice a week.'

'What??' responds the Leprechaun in shock. 'That's all? Only once or twice a week?'

'Well,' says the golfer, 'I figure that's not bad for a Catholic priest in a small parish.

This should really be in the EU In/Out shake it all about thread:

In a London Nursing home an old priest lay dying.
For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation’s capital.
He motioned for his nurse to come near.
Yes, Father?” said the nurse.
“I would really like to see David Cameron and George Osborne before I die”, whispered the priest.
I’ll see what I can do, Father”, replied the nurse”
The nurse sent the request to the speaker in parliament and waited for a response.
Soon the word arrived; David and George would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they went together to the hospital, David commented to George,
“I don’t know why the old priest wants to see us, but it certainly will help our images”..
George agreed that it was the right thing to do at this time.
When they arrived at the priest’s room, the priest took David’s hand in his right hand and Georges hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest’s face.
The old priest slowly said:
I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.”
Amen”, said David
Amen”, said George
The old priest continued,
“Jesus died between two lying thieving b-------; and I would just like to do the same...

One day a very sick old man calls his doctor, his lawyer, and his accountant to his deathbed.

Old man: "I am giving you each an envelope containing £100,000 cash, my life savings. When I die, I want to take it all with me. As the three people I most trust, I want you to be the last three to file by my coffin at the funeral, each placing the money in the coffin".

Lo and behold the old man dies. The doctor, lawyer, and accountant file by the coffin, each placing an envelope, and the man is buried.

Some weeks later, the three meet at the golf course. The doctor calls the other two aside.

Doctor: "I have an admission to make. I needed £30,000 to pay for a new Mercedes, so I took what I needed out of the envelope, and I feel terrible about it!"

Accountant: "I also feel terrible. I needed £70,000 to pay for a new yacht, so I also took what I needed from the envelope".

Lawyer: "You two should be ashamed of yourselves, I'll have you know that I put a cheque for the entire £100,000 in the coffin".

A man decided to have a Face Lift for his Birthday.
He spends £5,000 and feels really good about the result. 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 fo...r lunch, and asks the order taker the same question, to which the reply is, "Oh you look about 29."
"I am actually 47..!"
This makes him feel really good.

While standing at the 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 b---- for ten minutes I will be able to tell your exact age."

As there was no one around, the man thought what the hell and let her slip her hand down his pants. Ten minutes later the old lady says, "OK, 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 in McDonalds.

Bill Gates dies (insert the way you think best fits here). He finds himself in purgatory, being sized up by St. Peter.

"Well, Bill, I'm really confused on this call. Im not sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you enormously helped society by putting a computer in almost every home in America, yet you also created that awful Windows 95. Im going to do something Ive never done before in your case: Im going to let you decide where you want to go."

Bill replied, "Whats the difference between the two?"

St. Peter said, "I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly, if it will help your decision."

"Fine, but where should I go first?"

"Ill leave that up to you."

"Okay then," said Bill, "Lets try Hell first."

So Bill went to Hell. It was a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with clear waters and lots of bikini-clad women running around, playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining, the temperature perfect. He was very pleased.

"This is great!" he told St. Peter. "If this is hell, I REALLY want to see heaven!"

"Fine," said St. Peter, and off they went.

Heaven was a place high in the clouds, with angels drifting about, playing harps and singing. It was nice, but not as enticing as Hell. Bill thought for a quick minute, and rendered his decision. "Hmmm. I think Id prefer Hell," he told St. Peter.

"Fine," retorted St. Peter, "as you desire."

So Bill Gates went to Hell.

Two weeks later, St. Peter decided to check on the late billionaire to see how he was doing in Hell. When he got there, he found Bill, shackled to a wall in a dark cave, screaming amongst hot flames, being burned and tortured by demons.

"Hows everything going?" he asked Bill.

Bill responded, with his voice filled with anguish and disappointment, "This is awful! This is nothing like the Hell I visited two weeks ago! I cant believe this is happening! What happened to that other place, with the beautiful beaches, the scantily-clad women playing in the water????

"That was the demo," replied St. Peter.

Two blind pilots were both wearing dark glasses...one is using a guide dog and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane.
Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes and the engines start up.
The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a little practical joke. None is forthcoming.

The plane moves faster and faster down the runway and the people sitting in the window seats realize they’re headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport. As it begins to look as though the plane will plough into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin.

At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly and soon all retreat into their magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good hands.

In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says, “Ya know, Bob, one of these days, they’re gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die."

A pretty little girl named Suzy was sitting on the pavement in front of her home.
Next to her was a basket containing a number of tiny creatures; in her hand was a sign announcing “FREE KITTENS.”
Suddenly a line of big cars pulled up beside her. Out of the lead car stepped a grinning man. “Hi there little girl, I’m the leader of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, what do you have in the basket?” he asked.
“Kittens,” little Suzy said.
“How old are they?” asked Mr Cameron.
Suzy replied, “They're so young, their eyes aren't even open yet.”
“And what kind of kittens are they?”
“They're REMAIN IN THE EU supporters,” answered Suzy with a sweet smile.
Mr Cameron was delighted, a golden opportunity beckoned.
As soon as he returned to his car, he called his PR chief and told him about the little girl and the kittens. Recognizing the perfect photo op, the three of them agreed that they should return the next day; and in front of the assembled media, have the girl talk about her discerning kittens.
So the next day, Suzy was again on the pavement with her basket of “FREE KITTENS,” when Cameron’s motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from BBC, ITV, Channels 4, Channels 5, CNN and Sky News, cameras and the audio equipment were quickly set up, then Cameron got out of his limo and walked over to little Suzy.
“Hello, again,” he said, “I’d love it if you would tell all my friends out there what kind of kittens you're giving away.”
“Yes sir,” Suzy said. “They're BREXIT supporters.”
Taken by surprise, David Cameron stammered, “But yesterday, you told me they were REMAIN IN THE EU SUPPORTERS.”
Little Suzy smiled and said, “I know. But today, they have their eyes open.”

Trump's first day at the Oval Office. First briefing by the CIA, Pentagon, FBI:

Trump: We must destroy ISIS immediately.
CIA: We cannot do that, Mr President. We created them along with Turkey, Saudi, Qatar and others.

Trump: The Democrats created them.
CIA: We created ISIS, Mr President. You need them or else you would lose funding from the natural gas lobby.

Trump: Stop funding Pakistan. Let India deal with them.
CIA: We can't do that. It is Modi in India and not Manmohan.
Trump: So what?
CIA: Modi will cut Balochistan out of Pakistan.
Trump: I don't care.
CIA: India will have peace in Kashmir. They will stop buying our weapons. They will become a superpower. We have to fund Pakistan to keep India busy in Kashmir.

Trump: But you have to destroy the Taliban.
CIA: Mr President, we can't do that. We created the Taliban to keep Russia in check during the 80s. Now they are keeping Pakistan busy and away from their nukes.

Trump: We have to destroy terror sponsoring regimes in the Middle East. Let us start with the Saudis.
Pentagon: Mr President, we can't do that. We created those regimes because we wanted their oil. We can't have democracy there, otherwise their people will get that oil - and we cannot let their people own it.

Trump: Then, let us invade Iran.
Pentagon: We cannot do that either, Mr President.

Trump: Why not?
CIA: We are talking to them, Mr President.
Trump: What? Why?
CIA: We want our stealth drone back. If we attack them, Russia will obliterate us as they did to our buddy ISIS in Syria. Besides we need Iran to keep Israel in check.

Trump: Then let us invade Iraq again.
CIA: Mr President, our friends (ISIS) are already occupying 1/3rd of Iraq.
Trump: Why not the whole of Iraq?
CIA: We need the Shi'ite gov't of Iraq to keep ISIS in check.

Trump: I am banning Muslims from entering US.
FBI: We can't do that, Mr President.
Trump: Why not?
FBI: Then our own population will become fearless.

Trump: I am deporting all illegal immigrants to south of the border.
Border patrol: You can't do that, Mr President.
Trump: Why not?
Border patrol: If they're gone, who will build the wall?

Trump: I am banning H1Bs.
USCIS: You cannot do that.
Trump: Why?
Chief of staff: If you do so we'll have to outsource White House operations to Bangalore. Which is in India.

Trump: What the hell should I do???
CIA: Enjoy the White House, Mr President! We will take care of the rest!!!

I once had a girlfriend who was learning to drive when I met her. So she passed her test and the day after she took me out in her new car. We drove into a car park and the only space left involved a fairly tight reverse to get into it.

She said, "Oh my God, I'm not sure I can do this, I hate reversing".

So I said, "Look darling, I'm sure you'll be fine. Just do exactly what you did when the examiner asked you to reverse round a corner yesterday".

So she lent across the seat and undid my trousers...

The other day I needed to pay a visit to the public toilet, so I found a public toilet that had two cubicles.

One of the doors was locked. So I went into the other one, closed the door, dropped my trousers and sat down.

A voice came from the cubicle next to me: 'Hello mate, how are you doing?'

Although I thought that it was a bit strange, I didn't want to be rude, so I replied 'Not too bad thanks.'

After a short pause, I heard the voice again 'So, what are you up to?'

Again I answered, somewhat reluctantly, 'Just having a quick crap... How about yourself?'

The next thing I heard him say was "sorry mate, I'll have to call you back. I've got some prat in the cubicle next to me answering everything I say.'

A woman in her early twenties decided to go in for the much vaunted private parts enhancement operation.

All went well and she had recovered from the op and getting ready to go home when an older man approached her bed.

"Doctor, I've recovered very well from the accident, but there's one problem. When I pee, it comes out these multiple holes in all directions, like a watering can. It's very embarrassing."

The doctor scribbled on his notepad, tore off the page and gave it to his patient. "Go and see my brother. He'll sort it out for you".

There once was an Indian who had only one testicle


And whose given name was 'Onestone'.


He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone.


After years and years of torment,


Onestone finally cracked and said,'


If anyone calls me Onestone again I will kill them!'


The word got around and nobody called him that any more.


Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said,


'Good morning, Onestone.'


He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into the forest where he made love to her all day and all night.


He made love to her all the next day,


Until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.


The word got around that Onestone meant what he promised he would do.


Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until


A woman named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away.


Yellow Bird , who was Blue Bird's cousin,


Was overjoyed when she saw Onestone.


She hugged him and said, 'Good to see you, Onestone.'


Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest,


Then he made love to her all day,


Made love to her all night,


Made love to her all the next day,


Made love to her all the next night, butYellow Bird wouldn't die!



Why ???




OH, come on... Take a guess !!!

The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news.
The donkey's died.'
Paddy replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.' Paddy said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?' Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead donkey!'
Paddy said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, ' What happened with that dead donkey?'
Paddy said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at £2 each and made a profit of £898'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Paddy said, 'Just the guy who won, so I gave him his £2 back....

what a pair of barclays you two are. Don't do a double act on the stage
       
 The terrible old jokes thread - Dog
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for

all ten comes to £100... If they paid their bill the way we pay our

taxes, it would go something like this:



- The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.



- The fifth would pay £1.



- The sixth would pay £3.



- The seventh would pay £7.



- The eighth would pay £12.



- The ninth would pay £18.



- The tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.



So, that's what they decided to do.



The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy

with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve

ball. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to

reduce the cost of your daily beer by £20". Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80.



The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our

taxes, so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink

for free. But what about the other six men? How could they divide

the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?



They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33. But if they

subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the

sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.



So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each

man's bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the

principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to

work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.



And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing

(100% saving).



The sixth now paid £2 instead of £3... (33% saving).



The seventh now paid £5 instead of £7... (28% saving).



The eighth now paid £9 instead of £12... (25% saving).



The ninth now paid £14 instead of £18... (22% saving).



The tenth now paid £49 instead of £59... (16% saving).



Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four

continued to drink for free.



But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.



"I only got a dollar out of the £20 saving," declared the sixth man.

He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got £10!"



"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a

dollar too. It's unfair that he received ten times more benefit than me!"



"That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get £10

back, when I got only £2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"



"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "We didn't

get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!"



The nine men surrounded the tenth man and beat him up.



The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the

nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time

to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't

have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!



And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers,

is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest

taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction.



Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just

may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas,

where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Jeremy Hunt was doing an annual visit to a NHS hospital. As always he was looking for something to beat the NHS with to show how badly run and loss making things were.
While Hunt was checking the books, he turned to the executive of the hospital and said “I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the middle of the roll ?"
"Good question," noted the executive. "We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every once in a while, they send us a free roll. We recycle whenever possible"
"Oh," replied Hunt,, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. On he went “What about all these coloured casts you dispense. Isn't it rather a waste of money?"
"Ah, yes," replied the executive, realizing that Hunt was trying to trap him. "We ask that any patient wishing a coloured cast donates £1 which is far in excess of the 10p the colouring actually costs."
Hunt asked a dozen or more questions with similar results. he was determined to fluster the know-it-all executive.
"Well, What do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?"
"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the executive. "What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to government, and about once a year, at this time, they send us a complete prick."

In Jamaica you can get a steak and kidney pie for £1.75, a chicken and mushroom pie for £1.60 and an apple pie for £2.15.

In St Kitts and Nevis a steak and kidney pie will cost you £2, a chicken pie (without mushrooms) is £1.70 and a cherry pie can be yours for £1.95.

In Trinidad and Tobago, that steak and kidney pie comes in at £2.50, but you can get two for £3.50, while the chicken and mushroom pie is £2.25, or two for £3.25.

They also offer meat and potato pie for £2, or two for £3. Their apple pies and cherry pies are often sold for £2.75, or two (any combination) for £4.75.

Actually, if I recall correctly, its neither. It was a cock up. It simply reacts badly to the firetruck word yet not the Scunthorpe word.

The idea that it was somehow a graduated filter was one I made up one afternoon when we'd already had half a dozen functionality complaints that day and I needed a fast explanation/excuse.

"halogen"? Halcyon?

Actually, I think I misunderstood Dog's post. I'm assuming now he was reacting to the swear filter, which he thought too prissy. (Probably most of you saw that straight away.)

But a flounce, based on that?

Oh well, it takes all sorts, I suppose.

>>"halogen"? Halcyon?

Just something my Grandad used to say. We were never sure whether or not he was getting it wrong intentionally, either way it stuck within the family. Along with "Vicky Verky" and "toosh".

I often wonder whether or not he knew.
       
 The terrible old jokes thread - VxFan
>> Actually, if I recall correctly, its neither.

Nope, there really is a two stage swear filter.

The one that picks up mild expletives just changes the majority of it to asterisks.
The other removes the whole sentence/paragraph/post and replaces it with a full stop and asterisks - as in Dog's post.
Somewhere in this forum I went into fine detail about it, but cannot find the post right now.

>> It simply reacts badly to the firetruck word yet not the Scunthorpe word.

I've convinced the filter to allow Scunthorpe, but still censor the other C word, but some other innocent words that also contain a swear word I haven't yet convinced it who is boss.

>> 'Course, it might have changed since those halogen days.

It has. In your day there was only one swear filter list. There have been two separate lists for over well over 10 years now.

That would be telling ;)

The Highways Agency found over 200 dead crows on the A421, near the black cat roundabout recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts. However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with motorbikes, while only 2% were killed by cars.
The Agency then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of motorbike kills versus car kills. The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "bike"

The elephant at Dudley Zoo was getting old. One of the keepers decided to start a fund raising event to allow the old guy to spend his remaining time back in Africa.

Anyway, it was a great success, and eventually a jumbo jet ( see what I did there? ) was chartered and he was flown back to Africa and released into the wild.

On his first day alone he was pretty lonely, and at a loss as to what to do when he heard a distant rumbling which turned into thunderous roar, followed by an ever gathering dust cloud heading straight towards him.

He was of course terrified having never experienced a noise or sight like it in the West Midlands.

But there was something also innately comforting about it, a childhood memory, something he half recognised. At last the rumbling stopped, and the ground no longer shook, the dust clouds gradually dispersed and revealed an enormous herd of wild elephants with a great big bull elephant at their head, standing perfectly still, staring at the newcomer...

The elephant from Dudley Zoo was both scared and excited at the same time, something at the back of his mind told him that these were his people, but he didn't know any of them.

Eventually the great bull lifted his trunk and roared at him " Did you come here to die?!"

He replied, timidly, "No mate, I come 'ere yisterdai."

My wife found out that our dog, a Schnauzer, could hardly hear so she took it to the vet.

The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both ears and the dog could then hear fine.

He proceeded to tell her that if she wanted to keep this from recurring, she should get some "Nair" hair remover and rub it in the dog's ears once a month.

The wife went to Boots and bought some "Nair" hair remover. At the cash desk, the pharmacist told her: "If you're going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few days."
"I'm not using it under my arms," she told him.

The pharmacist said: "If you're using it on your legs, don't use body lotion for a couple of days."

"I'm not using it on my legs either. If you must know, I'm using it on my Schnauzer."

The pharmacist responded: "Well, best stay off your bicycle for about a week."

A bloke arrives home from work to find his wife in the hall wearing a see through blouse, tiny little skirt and stockings and suspenders.

She says, "Darling, have you ever seen ten pounds crumpled up?"

Starting to feel excited he replies, "No, I haven't". So she slowly undoes the top two buttons on her blouse, pulls two crumpled five pound notes from her bra and hands to him. Hardly able to contain his excitement he starts to unbutton his shirt when in a husky voice she says, "And have you ever seen twenty pounds crumpled up?"

"No", he says.

So she lifts up her skirt and pulls two ten pound notes out of her knickers, walks over and hands them to him.

She continues, "Darling, have you ever seen thirty thousand pounds all crumpled up?"

Unable to contain himself any longer, he unbuckles his belt and drops his trousers to the floor in anticipation of a wild, kinky night and replies, "No sweetheart, I haven't".

His wife says, "Well, go out to the garage and take a look".

It's storm Ophelia and two catholic nuns, a novice and a sister are travelling from Dublin to Belfast to check up on an old friend.

Just as they get to Belfast their car starts to run out of petrol so the sister pulls over and walks back to a garage to get some fuel.

Unfortunately the garage had run out of jerry cans so the sister walks back to the car and comments on her disappointment to the novice.

"Worry not sister!" exclaims the novice, for we have brought the bed pans, just in case the accommodations are not en-suite.

The sister thinks that's a great idea and takes the bed pans to the petrol station and fills them up.

Being buffeted by strong winds the sister carefully takes them back to the car and pours the contents in to the car.

Two protestant ladies observing the nun walking back with the bed pans are dumbfounded by what they see. The wiser of the two turns to her friend and says "well if it starts, I'm converting!"

Better than a Flu Shot!

Miss Beatrice,the church organist was in her eighties and had never been married.
She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all.
One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room.
She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea...
As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cut glass bowl sitting on top of it.
The bowl was filled with water and in the water floated of all things, a condom!

When she returned with tea and scones they began to chat.
The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater
but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.
'Miss Beatrice', he said " I wonder if you would tell me about this?" pointing to the bowl.
'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful?
I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground.
The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease.

He took a rag, soaked it in petrol, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent, and said 'OK, you can go now, but keep Lulu on the leash and only go one time around the block.'

The following day, she heard the doorbell. Much to her dismay, she opened the door to see a gray-haired gentleman sitting in a wheelchair. He had no arms or legs.

“You’re not really asking me to consider you, are you?” the widow asked: “Just look at you — you have no legs!”

The old gent smiled: “Therefore, I cannot run around on you!”

“You don’t have any arms either!” she snorted.

Again, the old man smiled: “Therefore, I can never beat you!”

She raised an eyebrow and asked intently: “Are you still good in bed?”

The old man leaned back, beamed a big smile and said: “I rang the doorbell, didn’t I?”

A man was walking home from the pub, very late in the pitch black of night. There isn't another person on the street.

Suddenly, from out of the gloom, comes an ominous bump...bump...bump.

He looks behind him and spots a furtive, shadowy thing coming down the street after him. Unnerved, he picks up his pace, finally breaking into a panicked run. He looks behind him again, and the shadow is closer.

Bump...bump...bump. The glow of a streetlight illuminates the shadow momentarily, and, to the man's horror, it is a sarcophagus, bumping down the pavement. He quickens his pace, running as fast as he can go, but the sarcophagus only pursues more quickly.

BUMP...BUMP...BUMP! He reaches his house, fumbles frantically for his keys, and slips in the door just as the sarcophagus reaches his front steps. He slams the door and leans against it, catching his breath. Bump...bump...bump. There is a moment's silence, and the man wonders if he dares to breathe.

Suddenly.... Bump...bump...bump...Bump...BUMP! BUMP! BUMPBUMPBUMPCRAAAAASH!!!!

He rebounds away as the door breaks off its hinges. Scrambling to his feet, he charges up the stairs, and the sarcophagus races after. BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP! Terrified, he backs into a corner and starts throwing everything within reach at the sarcophagus -- a handful of papers, a vase, a box of crackers, a lamp -- but the sarcophagus keeps coming!

BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP INCHES FROM HIS FACE, and nothing seems to slow it down! His hands fall upon a packet of throat lozenge and he throws that at the sarcophagus, too!

" The coffin stops. "

I haven't heard that one, but it took me back to my schooldays, - spot the similarity, (and i will try and shorten it - but most of the fun was spinning it out) ..

A Foreign Legion patrol is trudging across the Sahara, Officer in front, Sergeant behind, six Legionaires following, it's hot and arduous, water is scarce, and nerves are beginning to fray.

Suddenly the Officer hears a voice " 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3 "
"SILENCE" shouts the Officer, and the counting stops. They go a bit further, then ... (start spinning)

Eventually the Officer shouts "if that counting doesn't stop, i will shoot the offender"

Counting doen't stop so the Officer halts the patrol, draws his gun, points it at the Sergeant and says "is that you counting?"
"No sir, it must be the man behind me", (spin again, until Legionaire no.6) ... "no sir it's wasn't me"

"LIAR" shouts the Officer ... BANG !, and the man drops dead.

Repeat and spin your way back up the line to the Sergeant, ....
Same scenario, and - BANG ! Sergeant drops dead, Exhausted and devastated, the Officer slumps down on a sand dune and reaches for his cigarettes to calm his shattered nerves.

He pulls them out of his pocket, looks down, and reads on the packet ..

IT'S THE TOBACCO THAT COUNTS

The Great Lakes are the location of a number of big ship disasters.

There was the Great Lakes Storm of 1913 which downed 12 ships and stranded 19 and, of course, the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald many years later.

A much lesser known accident was the crash of two liquid cargo tankers in 1996 which were both chartered by Sherwin-Williams to carry a large quantity of paint, red, green, purple, and yellow, from the production facilities in New York to the distributors in Chicago.

The two ships were too close to each other when the lake became choppy and they crashed into each other, ripping open the holds containing the red and purple paints and spilling them into Lake Michigan.

The sailors had to jump into the water to avoid sinking with the ships and, of course, they were marooned

It took me a long time in my late teens/early twenties to get out of habit, taught by my parents and my GPO telephones engineer Uncle, of answering 'phone by saying the number - Horsforth 2528 or whatever.

In a London flatshare it was 455 0584 with inevitable mockery from flatmates referencing above joke.

Pinocchio, Snow White and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day.

As they walk, they come across a sign:
"Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world."
"I am entering" said Snow White.
After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, "Well, how did you do?"
"First Place," said Snow White.

They continue walking and they see a sign:
"Contest for the strongest man in the world."
"I'm entering," says Superman.
After half an hour he returns and they ask him, "How did you make out?"
"First Place," answers Superman. "Did you ever doubt?"

They continue walking when they see a sign:
"Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?"
Pinocchio says "this is mine."
Half an hour later, he returns with tears in his eyes.
"What happened?" they asked.
"Who the hell is Donald Trump?" asked Pinocchio.

Just recently a lot of houses around here have been burgled, the Police can't catch the culprit, all they know is he is called Carl. His "trade-mark calling card" is before he legs it he puts a brick in the washing machine and turns it on.
however, justice has been done, the other morning he was found dead in an alley, from a suspected drug overdose.
Nobody seems to be overly concerned, but one thing is certain,

Washing machines live longer , with Carl gone!

One afternoon a lawyer was riding along in his big limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass.
Intrigued, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."
"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there eating grass under that tree."
"Bring them along," the lawyer replied.
Turning to the second poor man he stated, "You may come with us, also."
The other man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and six children with me!"
"Bring them all as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine.
Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place.
The grass is almost a foot high."


Come on . . . did you really think there was such a thing as a heart-warming lawyer story?

Trump comes to work in the morning holding a mysterious package. Rushing into the oval office, he calls out to his secretary "No calls. No interruptions".

At the end of a long day, the President comes out in a foul mood, walks back to his bedroom and goes right to sleep.

Early the next morning, he is back at the office. "No calls. No interruptions". he calls out before entering the office and slamming the door behind him.

The behaviour repeats itself but after a few days, it is midnight and Trump still hasn't come out of his office. Unsure what to do, they decide that Chief of Staff John Kelley should knock on the door. "Mr. President. Are you okay?"

"I said NO INTERRUPTIONS and I meant it!" they hear Trump scream through the door.

Two more days pass without a word from the president and then the secretary's phone rings. It is Trump. "Get me Sarah Sanders immediately!"

The secret service is dispatched and in 15 minutes, a breathless Sarah Sanders is knocking on the door to the Oval office."

"Come in".

Sanders open the door slowly and finds a dishevelled unshaven Trump sitting at his desk with a big grin on his face. On top of his desk is a completed 30-piece puzzle of the New York skyline.

Sanders doesn't know what to make of it.

Trump leans back triumphantly in his chair and says. "I've got something for your next press conference..." Sarah takes out her notebook.

"You see that puzzle?" Trump asks pointing at his desk. "Well, the box says '3 to 7 years' and me, I finished it in JUST 6 DAYS!"

 Technical Support Query - Zero
Dear Technical Support,
18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2, which I had used for years without any trouble.

However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.

To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as LadsNightOut 3.1, Football 4.5, and Playboy 6.9.

Successive versions of GirlFriend proved no better.
I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1, but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.

Eventually, I tried to run GirlFriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to my hardware.

I eventually upgraded to Fiancée 1.0, only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded further to Wife 1.0.
While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse2005.
Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run.

Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted. They then resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about them.

Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer and E-mail filter, and can, without warning, launch TurboStrop and Multi-Whinge.

These latter products have no Help files, and I have to try to guess what the problem is. Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be reinstalled every other week.

Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Saab93 Convertible hard drive, it often crashes.

Wife 1.0 has a pop-up called MotherInLaw, which can't be turned off.

Recently I've been tempted to install Mistress 2005, but I've been told there could be problems.

A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2005, it tends to delete all of your Money before uninstalling itself.

Any advice would be helpful, many thanks.

Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough.

After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, "Kin ya swallar?" The woman shakes her head no. Then he asks, "Kin ya breathe?" The woman begins to turn blue, and shakes her head no.

The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers, and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.
The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm, and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.

As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table. His brother said, "Ya know, I'd heerd of that there Hind Lick Maneuver but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!"

A father put his 3 year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which ended with her saying;

"God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma and good-bye Grandpa."

The father asked, 'Why did you say good-bye Grandpa?'

The little girl said, "I don't know Daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do."

The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange coincidence.

A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers which went;

"God bless Mommy, God Bless Daddy and good-bye Grandma.."

The next day the grandmother died.

"Holy crap" thought the father, "this kid is in contact with the other side."

Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say, "God bless Mommy and good-bye Daddy."

He practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office.

He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch and watched the clock.

He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be okay. He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee,

looking at his watch and jumping at every sound. Finally midnight arrived; he breathed a sigh of relief and went home.

When he got home his wife said, "I've never seen you work so late. What's the matter?"

He said, "I don't want to talk about it, I've just had the worst day of my life."

She said, "You think you had a bad day, you'll never believe what happened to me.

Five surgeons are discussing what type of person makes the best patient to operate on.

The first surgeon, from Belfast City Hospital, says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

The second, from Antrim Area Hospital, responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is co lour coded."

The third surgeon, from Royal Belfast Hospital , says, "No, I really think librarians are the best! Everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

The fourth surgeon, from Musgrave Park Hospital "You know, I like construction workers...Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.'

But the fifth surgeon, from Ulster Hospital, Dundonald , shut them all up when he observed: 'You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on.
There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine... Plus, the head and the backside are interchangeable.’

8:22 - The transgender man..women...person asked why I didn't just make one snow person with detachable parts.

8:31 - The middle eastern gent across the road demanded the snow woman be covered up .

8:40 - The Police arrived saying someone had been offended.

8:42 - The feminist neighbour complained again that the broomstick of the snow woman needed to be removed because it depicted women in a domestic role.

8:43 - The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction.

8:45 - TV news crew from the BBC showed up. I was asked if I know the difference between snowmen and snow-women? I replied "Snowballs" and am now called a sexist.
