My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started...
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.' I bought her a scale. And then the fight started...
When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive… so, I took her to a gas station. And then the fight started...
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.' And then the fight started...
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And then the fight started...
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"" Nah, she can order for herself." And then the fight started...
A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.' And then the fight started.....
I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95. Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95. I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream. And then the fight started....
My wife asked me if a certain dress made her butt look big. I told her not as much as the dress she wore yesterday
and then the fight started.....
I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?" It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?" And that's when the fight started....
My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?" "No," she answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying "Yes." So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started.... |

Yesterday I was at my local Lidl buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder Dog and was in the checkout line when woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your trouser pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's butt and a car hit us both. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Lidl won't let me shop there anymore. Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say. |

After being married for 40 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Darling, 40 years ago we had a cheap flat, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 18-year old girl. Now, I have a £500,000 home, two £65,000 cars, nice big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 58-year old woman who is not a hot bird anymore. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things.
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 18-year old bird, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap flat, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve a mid-life crisis!

A man walks into an Ann Summers shop to purchase some see-through lingerie for his wife. He is shown several possibilities that range from £50 to £150 in price, the more see-through, the higher the price.
He opts for the sheerest item, pays the £150 and takes the lingerie home.
He presents it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, put it on and model it for him.
Upstairs the wife thinks ..........
"I have an idea. It's so see-through that it might as well be nothing. I won't put it on - do the modelling naked - return it tomorrow and get a £150 refund and keep the money for myself".
So she appears naked at the top of the stairs and strikes a pose.
The husband says ........
"Stone me, it wasn't that creased in the shop".
. . . . . His funeral is next Thursday at St Margaret's!

Nice work if you can get it!
Apparently, a true story... Outside Bristol Zoo, there is a car park for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging cars £1 and coaches £5. This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then one day, he just didn't turn up for work. "Oh well", said Bristol Zoo Management "We'd better phone up the City Council and get them to send a new parking attendant..." "Err no", said the Council, "That car park is your responsibility"... "Err no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "The attendant was employed by the City Council......... wasn't he?"... Sitting in his villa in Spain is a bloke who had been taking the car park fees, estimated at £400 per day at Bristol Zoo, for the last 25 years... Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over £36 million... Nice Work........! |

GITCHA MAMA
A redneck family from the hills of Arkansas was visiting the city and they were in a mall for the first time in their lives.
The father and son were strolling around while the wife shopped. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
The boy asked, 'Paw, what's at?'
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, 'Son, I dunno. I ain't never seen anything like that in my entire life, I ain't got no idea'r what it is.
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular number above the walls light up sequentially.
They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous, voluptuous 24 year-old blonde woman stepped out. The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son, Boy.................go gitcha momma'

The family is sitting at the dinner table. The son asks his father, 'Dad, how many kinds of boobies are there?' The father, surprised, answers, 'Well son, there's three kinds of breasts. In her twenties, a woman's breasts are like melons, round & firm. In her thirties & forties, they are like pears, still nice, but hanging a bit. After fifty, they are like onions.' 'Onions?' 'Yes, you see them, and they make you cry.'
This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter says, 'Mum, how many types of 'willies' are there?' The mother, surprised, smiles and answers, 'Well dear, a man goes through three phases. In his twenties, his willie is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his thirties & forties, it's like a birch tree, flexible but reliable. After his fifties, it is like a Christmas tree.' 'A Christmas tree??'
'Yes dear, dead from the root up and the balls are for decoration only.'

A new manager arriving at his office meets the outgoing manager who tells him "I have left 3 envelopes in your desk with advice if you should meet any problems." A few months later a problem crops up & remembering the envelopes he opens the first to read "Blame your predecessor." This he does & keeps his job. Some months later another problem arises & opening the second envelope he reads "Reorganise." Again he follows the advice & saves his skin. After several months a major crisis hits the firm & opening the final envelope he reads "Start preparing 3 envelopes..." |

Some political jokes:
Political cunning should never be mistaken for intelligence.
Honesty in politics is much like oxygen. The higher up you go, the scarcer it becomes.
During Britain's "brain drain," not a single politician left the country.
Crime is merely politics without the excuses.
Activity is the politician's substitute for achievement.
If voting could change the system, it would be illegal. If not voting could change the system, it would be illegal.
Nobody can fix the economy. Nobody can be trusted with their finger on the button. Nobody's perfect. VOTE FOR NOBODY!
A little girl asked her father, 'do all fairy tales begin with "Once upon a time"? The father replied, 'No, some begin with - If I am elected.'
The government is sneaky. They raise the tax on alcohol, then make sure that the country is in such a mess that you drink more.
Don't vote - it only encourages them.
It's tough being a politician. Half your reputation is ruined by lies; the other half is ruined by the truth!
Redundancy: An airbag in a politician's car!
Limit politicians to 2 terms: 1 in office, 1 in jail.
The statesman shears the sheep, the politician skins them.
I think, therefore I'm not an MP. - (Member of Parliament)
Why is it that political leaders don't seem to have all the answers until they write their memoirs?
The trouble with political jokes is they get elected.
Statesmen tell you what is true even though it may be unpopular. Politicians will tell you what is popular, even though it may be untrue.
Politics is the art of making it sound as if Father Christmas comes earlier in the year.
Make your M.P. work - don't re-elect him.
I think, therefore I'm not an MP.
A politician is a man who stands for what he thinks the voters will fall for.

Some questions to ponder!
1. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?
2. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?
3. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
4. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
5. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
6. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
7. When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?
8. Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a racing car not called a racist?
9. Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?
10. Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

1. 'I am' is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that 'I do' is the longest sentence?
2. What hair colour do they put on the driver's licences of bald men?
3. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?
4. No one ever says, 'It's only a game' when their team is winning.
5. Ever wonder about those people who spend £1.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE

What Job Ads *Really* Mean:
"Competitive Salary" We remain competitive by paying you less than our competition. "Join our fast-paced company" We have no time to train you. "Casual work atmosphere" We don't pay enough to expect that you will dress up; a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings. "Some overtime required" Some every night and some every weekend. "Duties will vary" Anyone in the office can boss you around. "Must have an eye for detail" We have no quality assurance. "Career-minded" Female applicants must be childless (and remain that way). "Apply in person" If you're old, fat or ugly you'll be told that the position has been filled. "Seeking candidates with a wide variety of experience" You'll need it to replace the three people who just quit. "Problem-solving skills a must" You're walking into perpetual chaos. "Requires team leadership skills" You'll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect. "Good communication skills" Management communicates, you listen, figure out what they want and do it.

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION
1 Trevor Adams, my assistant programmer, can always be found 2 hard at work in his cubicle. Trevor works independently, without 3 wasting company time talking to colleagues. Trevor never 4 thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always 5 finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended 6 measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee 7 breaks. Trevor is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no 8 vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound 9 knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Trevor can be 10 classed as a high-calibre employee, the type that cannot be 11 dispensed with. Consequently, I truly recommend that Trevor be 12 promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be 13 executed as soon as possible.
**Addendum The idiot was standing over my shoulder while I wrote this report. Kindly re-read only the odd numbered lines.

Eleven people were hanging on a rope, under a helicopter. Ten 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, until the woman gave a very touching speech.
She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return.
As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping

A man went in for a Brain transplant operation and was offered a choice of two brains by the surgeon. He could choose either the Architect's brain which would cost him £10,000 or the Politician's which was £100,000.
"Does that mean that the politician's brain is much better than the Architect's?" exclaimed the clearly puzzled man.
"not exactly" replied the surgeon, "the politician's has never been used."
A life long supporter of the labour party was lying on his death bed when he suddenly decided to join the Tory party.
"But why?" asked his puzzled friend, "You're labour through and through… Why change now?"
The man learned forward and explained, "Well, I'd rather it was one of them that died and not one of us."
While driving along the back roads of a small town, two truckers came to an overpass with a sign that read CLEARANCE 11'3". They got out and measured their rig, which was 12'4".
"What do you think?" one asked the other.
The driver looked around carefully, then shifted into first. "Not a cop in sight. Let's take a chance!"
Two farmers were discussing politics and the first one says: "I believe in a share and share alike policy. One where we are all equal."
"Well" replied the other farmer "I'm not sure about that. What you mean is that if you have two horses you'd give me one?"
"Of course" says the first.
The second farmer continued: "and of you had two cars, you'd give me one of them too?"
"absolutely"
"So" says the second farmer, "if you had two pigs then you'd give me one of them?"
"ah, now hang on a minute" says the first, "you know I've got two pigs!"

A LITTLE HEART WARMING TALE FROM BRAMLEY GREEN
Ed and Dorothy
Ed and Dorothy met while on a singles cruise and Ed fell head over heels for her. When they discovered they lived in the same city only a few miles apart Ed was ecstatic. He immediately started asking her out when they got home. Within a couple of weeks, Ed had taken Dorothy to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, movies, and museums. Ed became convinced that Dorothy was indeed his soul mate and true love. Every date seemed better than the last. On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise ship, Ed took Dorothy to a fine restaurant. While having cocktails and waiting for their salad, Ed said, "I guess you can tell I'm very much in love with you. I'd like a little serious talk before our relationship continues to the next stage. So, before I get a box out of my jacket and ask you a life changing question, it's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut. I play golf, I read about golf, I watch golf on TV. In short, I eat, sleep, and breathe golf. If that's going to be a problem, for us, you'd better say so now!"
Dorothy took a deep breath and responded, "Ed, that certainly won't be a problem. I love you as you are and I love golf too; but, since we're being totally honest with each other, you need to know that about the last five years I've been a hooker." "Oh wow! I see," Ed replied. He looked down at the table, and was quiet for a moment, deep in thought then he added, "You know, it's probably just because you're not keeping your wrists straight when you tee off." |

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. We live in a society where pizza gets to your house before the police. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public. War does not determine who is right - only who is left. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason. The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut-up. Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. God must love stupid people. He made SO many. The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas! Laugh at your problems, everybody else does.
Never get into fights with ugly people, they have nothing to lose. Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise. My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.
Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She found the most perfect shoes in the first shop, and a beautiful dress in the second. In the third everything had just been reduced 50 percent, when her mobile phone rang. It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident and was in a critical condition and was in the ICU. The woman told the doctor to tell her husband that she'd be there as soon as possible. When she hung up she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best day ever shopping in these boutiques, so she decided to just look in two or three more before heading to the hospital. Anyhow she ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake compliments of the last shop. She was jubilant. Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital. She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her husband's condition. The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, 'You went ahead and finished your shopping trip didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself shopping, your husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as well you went ahead and finished, because it's likely be the last shopping trip you will ever make! For the rest of his life he will require round the clock care. And he will now be your responsibility!' The woman felt so guilty she broke down and cried and cried.
The lady doctor then laughed and said, 'I'm just pulling your leg. He's dead. Show me what you bought.' ------

Last week was my 40th birthday and I really didn’t feel like waking up that morning. I managed to pull myself together and go downstairs for breakfast, hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, “Happy Birthday!”, and possibly have a small present for me. As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone “Happy Birthday.” I thought… Well, that’s marriage for you, but the kids… They will remember.
My kids came trampling down the stairs to breakfast, ate their breakfast, and didn’t say a word to me. So when I made it out of the house and started for work, I felt pretty dumpy and despondent.
As I walked into my office, my secretary Joanne said, “Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday!” It felt a bit better knowing that at least someone remembered. I worked in a zombie like fashion until about one o’clock, when Joanne knocked on my door and said, “You know, it’s such a beautiful day outside, and it’s your Birthday, why don’t we go out for lunch, just you and me.” I said, “Thanks, Joanne, that’s the best thing I’ve heard all day. Let’s go!”
We went to lunch but not where we’d normally go. Instead she took me to a quiet bistro with a private table. We had a couple of mixed drinks and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office, Joanne said, “You know, It’s such a beautiful day… We don’t have to go right back to the office, do we?” I replied with “I suppose not. What do you have in mind?” She said, “Let’s go to my apartment, it’s just around the corner.”
After arriving at her apartment, Joanne turned to me and said, “Boss if you don’t mind, I’m goinna to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I’ll be right back.” “Ok.” I nervously replied. She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake…
Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends, and co-workers, all singing “Happy Birthday”.
And I just sat there…
On the couch…
Naked. |
My glass is always half full....never half empty....what about you?? |

Nelson Mandela is sitting at home watching the telly when he hears a knock at the door. When he opens it, he is confronted by a little Chinese man, clutching a clip board and yelling, "You sign! You sign!" Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts. Nelson is standing there in complete amazement, when the Chinese man starts to yell louder. "You sign! You sign!"
Nelson says to him, "Look mate, you've obviously got the wrong bloke. Push off", and shuts the door in his face.
The next day he hears a knock at the door again. When he opens it,the little Chinese man is back with a huge truck of brake pads. He thrusts his clipboard under Nelson's nose, yelling, "You sign! You sign!" Mr Mandela is getting a bit hacked off by now, so he shoves the little Chinese man back, shouting: "Look, push off! You've got the wrong bloke! I don't want them!" Then he slams the door in his face again.
The following day, Nelson is resting, and late in the afternoon, he hears a knock on the door again. On opening the door, there is the same little Chinese man thrusts a clipboard under his nose, shouting "You sign! You sign!" Behind him are TWO very large trucks full of car parts.
This time Nelson loses his temper completely, he picks up the little man by his shirt front and yells at him; "Look, I don't want these! Do you understand? You must have the wrong name! Who do you want to give these to?"
The little Chinese man looks at him very puzzled, consults his clipboard, and says:
"You not Nissan Maindealer?"

This ought to make you feel better about your computer skills! Tech support: What kind of computer do you have? Customer: A white one…
Customer: Hi, this is Celine .. I can't get my diskette out. Tech support: Have you tried pushing the Button? Customer: Yes, sure, it's really stuck. Tech support: That doesn't sound good; I'll make a note. Customer: No , wait a minute. I hadn't inserted it yet... it's still on my desk... sorry...
Tech support: Click on the 'my computer' icon on to the left of the screen. Customer: Your left or my left?
Tech support: Good day. How may I help you? Male customer: Hello... I can't print. Tech support: Would you click on 'start' for me and.... Customer: Listen pal, don't start getting technical on me! I'm not Bill Gates.
Customer: Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can't print. Every time I try, it says 'Can't find printer'. I've even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can't find it.
Customer: I have problems printing in red.. Tech support: Do you have a color printer? Customer: Aaaah....................thank you.
Tech support: What's on your monitor now, ma'am? Customer: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me at the 7-11.
Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore. Tech support: Are you sure it's plugged into the computer? Customer: No. I can't get behind the computer. Tech support: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back. Customer: ! OK Tech support: Did the keyboard come with you? Customer: Yes Tech support: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard? Customer: Yes, there's another one here. Ah… that one does work..

A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer. Tech support: Are you running it under windows? Customer: No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine.
And last but not least… Tech support: 'Okay Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen.

Twelve days - Revised Policy
Effective immediately, the following economizing measures are being implemented in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" subsidiary:
1) The partridge will be retained, but the pear tree, which never produced the cash crop forecasted, will be replaced by a plastic hanging plant, providing considerable savings in maintenance
2) Two turtle doves represent a redundancy that is simply not cost effective. In addition, their romance during working hours could not be condoned. The positions are, therefore, eliminated
3) The three French hens will remain intact. After all, everyone loves the French
4) The four calling birds will be replaced by an automated voice mail system, with a call waiting option. An analysis is underway to determine who the birds have been calling, how often and how long they talked.
5) The five golden rings have been put on hold by the Board of Directors. Maintaining a portfolio based on one commodity could have negative implications for institutional investors. Diversification into other precious metals, as well as a mix of T-Bills and high technology stocks, appear to be in order
6) The six geese-a-laying constitutes a luxury which can no longer be afforded. It has long been felt that the production rate of one egg per goose per day was an example of the general decline in productivity. Three geese will be let go, and an upgrading in the selection procedure by personnel will assure management that, from now on, every goose it gets will be a good one
7) The seven swans-a-swimming is obviously a number chosen in better times. The function is primarily decorative. Mechanical swans are on order. The current swans will be retrained to learn some new strokes, thereby enhancing their outplacement
8) As you know, the eight maids-a-milking concept has been under heavy scrutiny by the EC. A male/female balance in the workforce is being sought. The more militant maids consider this a dead-end job with no upward mobility. Automation of the process may permit the maids to try a-mending, a-mentoring or a-mulching
9) Nine ladies dancing has always been an odd number. This function will be phased out as these individuals grow older and can no longer do the steps
10) Ten Lords-a-leaping is overkill. The high cost of Lords, plus the expense of international air travel, prompted the Compensation Committee to suggest replacing this group with ten out-of-work peers. While leaping ability may be somewhat sacrificed, the savings are significant as we expect an oversupply of unemployed politicians this year
11) Eleven pipers piping and twelve drummers drumming is a simple case of the band getting too big. A substitution with a string quartet, a cutback on new music, and no uniforms, will produce savings which will drop right to the bottom line
Overall we can expect a substantial reduction in assorted people, fowl, animals and related expenses. Though incomplete, studies indicate that stretching deliveries over twelve days is inefficient. If we can drop ship in one day, service levels will be improved.
Regarding the lawsuit filed by the solicitors association seeking expansion to include the legal profession ("thirteen lawyers-a-suing"), a decision is pending.
Deeper cuts may be necessary in the future to remain competitive. Should that happen, the Board will request management to scrutinize the Snow White Division to see if seven dwarfs is the right number. |

WOMEN DRIVERS !!!
The other morning whilst driving on the motorway I glanced over to my right and saw a woman in a brand new BMW doing 80mph with her face close her rear view mirror applying her lipstick.
I looked away for a few seconds and when I lookd back she was drifting into my lane still working on the make up.
It scared me so much that I dropped my electric shaver which then knocked the ham sandwich out of my other hand. In the confusion of trying to straighten out the car with my knees against the steering wheel my mobile dropped from my ear and fell into the coffee between my legs which then spilt and burned my legs and disconnected a VERY IMPORTANT call. The hot coffee caused me to scream which made the cigarette fall from my mouth and burn a hole in my new shirt.
Women drivers eh....cor blimey. |

A group of 40 years old buddies discuss and discuss where they should meet for dinner.
Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the waitresses there have low cut blouses and nice boobs.
10 years later, at 50 years of age, the group once again discuss and discuss where they should meet for dinner. Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the food there is very good and the wine selection is good also.
10 years later at 60 years of age, the group once again discuss and discuss where they should meet for dinner. Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they can eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the ocean.
10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group once again discuss and discuss where they should meet for dinner. Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the restaurant is wheel chair accessible and they even have an elevator.
10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group once again discuss and discuss where they should meet for dinner. Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they have never been there before.

I havn't read the jokes for a while and I liked the one by Guiseppe in Oct re the shopper and her husband who was taken ill, it reminded me of a true story, (no joke) told to us by good friends who were the people involved, some years before.
David and Dorothy were out shopping, she unfortunately walked off the pavement, into the road without checking for traffic. A lorry was passing and it collided with her at some speed. The vehicle went over her legs and she was badly injured.
David looked on in astonishment. An ambulance was called, and they did as much as they could at the scene, but got her onto a stretcher and into the ambulance.
The paramedic said to David, "Are you coming with us in the ambulance or are you going to follow up in your car?"
David looked at the chap and in his normal vague manner replied,
"I won't come now,......I havn't had my lunch yet."
Strangely, they are still together. |

A few jokes for Valentines day:
I just love to do special things for my wife on Valentine’s day. Like open the door for her when she puts all the laundry in the washing machine, or plug and unplug the vacuum as she moves from room to room cleaning.
Guys, it’s these little thoughtful things you can do to have a marriage such as mine.
My dearest wife is always going on and on and ON about NOT making a fuss over her on Valentine's Day. She repeats that it's the thought that counts. Well, I put a lot of thought into the gifts from previous February 14ths but she didn't quite take to any of them like I assumed she would. Here's my list - see what you think:
* Brand new mop and bucket. I was thinking it would be fun to see what colour the floor was because I couldn't remember. * Romantic dinner at fast food restaurant. I was thinking that she might like to go inside for a change instead of fetching dinner at the drive through. * Chocolates left-over from last year's candy box. I was thinking of how proud she'd be of me for not wasting food. She's been nagging me for years to recycle. * Midnight moped ride through the park. I was thinking that I'm getting too old to be peddling on the bike. * Dozen roses printed on high quality photo paper. One of my favourites this - I was thinking these would last a lifetime instead of just a week. * 45 second back massage. I was thinking any longer and she might think I was interested in something else. * Windows 7 I was thinking how proud she would be to be a part of the technology crowd.
If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
Valentine’s Day is when a lot of married men are reminded what a poor shot Cupid really is.
A bride at her second wedding does not wear a veil. She wants to see what she is getting. |

WITH APOLOGIES TO ANY IRISH FORUM READERS
An Irishman was walking home late at night and sees a woman lurking in the shadows.
'Twenty dollars,” she whispers.
Paddy had never had a hooker before, but decides -- what the hell, it's only twenty bucks. So they hide in the bushes.
They're going at it for a couple of minutes when, all of a sudden, a light flashes on them. It's a police officer. 'What's going on here, people?' asks the officer. 'I'm making love to me wife,' the Irishman answers sounding annoyed.
'Oh, I'm so sorry,' says the cop, 'I didn't know.'
'Well, needer did I,' says Paddy, 'til ya shoined dat light in her face!!!”

A man tells his mate that he has a terrible pain in his elbow and is going to make an appointment to see the Doctor. 'Don't bother doing that', says his friend,'just take a urine sample to the new machine at Tesco and after about a minute, the machine will tell you the problem. It will only cost you a fiver and you get clubcard points too'. 'Great', the man says, 'I will give it a go'. So off the man goes to Tesco with his sample in a bottle. He puts in his fiver and places the sample in the machine. After a minute or two, the machine gives him a printout saying ' you have tennis elbow. Rest your arm for two weeks and the pain will go'. The man is well impressed and decides to test to see if he can confuse the machine so he gets a urine sample from his wife and daughter, a stool sample from the dog and makes his own addition to the mix (if you know what I mean)! So he goes back to the machine, puts in the mix, pays his money and waits for the response. After a couple of minutes, this was what the response was..... 1. your dog has ringworm......take him to the vets for medication. 2. Your daughter has a cocaine habit.....seek professional help for her asap. 3. Your wife is pregnant, with twins, they are not yours....get a lawyer. 4. If you don't rest that elbow, like you were told, then it will never get better! |

Giving Up Wine
I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.
I took out my wallet, got out ten pounds and asked, 'If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?'
'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me.
'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked.
'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.'
'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked.
'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!'
'Well, I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.'
The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'
I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.'
