BAD LANGUAGE
A
mother cooking in the kitchen was listening
to
her son playing with his new electric train in
the
next room. She heard the train stop and her
son
say. "All you cretins who want to get off, get
the
hell off now,cos this is the last stop."
Horrified.
the mother went in and told her son
that
he shouldn't use bad language and to go
to
his room for two hours.
Later,
she heard the sounds of the train again
and
listened to her son say," All those passengers
who
are disembarking the train here, please
remember
to take all your belongings with you.
We
thank you for riding with us today and for those
of
you who are cheesed off about the two
hour
delay, please see the mother in the kitchen!"
MATTER OF HONOUR
The Chinese Market gardener
and his 3 sons
lived on a farm and had
an outhouse on a hill.
One night someone pushed
the outhouse over the hill.
Next morning, the father
called in his sons.
"Honourable eldest son,
did you push the outhouse over
the hill?"
"No, honourable father,
I did not!" was the reply.
"Honourable second son,
did you push the outhouse
over the hill?"
"No, honourable father
I did not!" replied the second son.
"Honourable youngest
son, did you push the outhouse
over the hill?"
"Yes, honourable father.
Like George Washington,
who chopped down the
cherry tree, I cannot tell
a lie. It was I who pushed
it over."
The youngest son was
given a sound thrashing.
"But father, like George
Washington when he cut down
the cherry tree, I thought
I would be forgiven for
telling the truth."
"Ah, yes, but you see,
George Washington's father
was not sitting in the
cherry tree when his son chopped
it down."
SHORT CHANGED
Did you hear about the
kangaroo who called
both her joeys Robert?
She always liked to have
a bob or two
in her pocket.
Made First
One day in the garden
of Eden, Eve
calls out to God, "Lord
I know you have
made me and provided
this lovely garden
and these wonderful animals,
but I am lonely."
"Well Eve, I have a solution,"
replies God.
" I shall create man
for you."
" What's a man, Lord?"
asks Eve.
"A flawed creature with
aggressive tendencies,
a huge ego and incapable
of listening to you.
He'll be bigger and faster
than you. He'll
be great at hunting,
kicking a ball around and
not too bad in the sack."
"Sounds great," says
Eve.
"I'll only do this for
you on one condition."
"What's that Lord?"
"You let him believe
I made him first!"
Supermarket Farce
A young man was at a supermarket
when he noticed
an old lady following him around.
Thinking nothing
of it, he ignored her and continued
on. Finally,
he went into the checkout, where
she snuck in front
of him. "Pardon me," she said,
"I'm sorry if my staring
has made you feel uncomfortable.
It's just that you look
like my son who died recently."
"I'm very sorry," replied the young
man, "Is there
anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," she said, "As I am leaving,
you could say,
"Goodbye mother, it would make
me feel better."
"Sure," the young man answered.
As the old woman was
leaving, he called out, "Goodbye
mother!" and felt
quite pleased that he done a good
deed and made her happy.
But then he went to pay, he saw
his bill was $127.80.
"How could this be?" he gasped,
"I only purchased a few
things!" "Your mother said you
would pay for her,"
said the cashier.
Swinging Ovation
Eleven women - 10 blondes and one
brunette - were
clinging precariously to a wildly
swinging rope that was
suspended from a crumbling outcrop
on Mount Everest.
They realised that one of them
would have to let go
or the rope would break and they
would all perish.
For a few agonising moments, no
one volunteered.
Finally the brunette, in moving
speech said that she
would sacrifice herself to save
the others. Touched by
this, all the blondes applauded.
I HAVE LEARNT ...
*
A softball isn't soft
*
Although friends can't remember what they did last week
they
have no trouble remembering something embarrassing I did 10 years ago.
*No
matter how much self-control I think I have, I am not happy until the last
chocolate is gone.
*When
the washing machine breaks down, the microwave, dryer and vacuum cleaner
usually go out in sympathy.
*If
you have children don't bother buying toilet roll holders, towel rails,
doormats or clothes hampers, they'll never get used!
*No
matter what happens, there is always somebody around who knew it would.
*Love's
a game that two can play and both win.
*If
you want it to rain, you should water the garden, wash the car and leave
your clothes on the line.
*The
day you plan to do some quick shopping is the day you meet everyone you
know.
*The
list of New Years resolutions I made last year can be re-used, it's as
good as new.
*Old
age is waiting for all the cars in the carpark to leave so you can find
where you left yours.
*Worry
is a lot like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but it gets
you nowhere.
*No
matter how well you nurse a grudge, it will never get better.
*Never
deprive someone of hope. It may be all they have.
*When
you are in a bad mood and doing the dishes, the stream of water will always
hit the upturned spoon.
*When
your husband says he's just going out for a few minutes, don't expect him
home for a few hours.
*If
you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always
got.
*I
shouldn't allow people who say,"After all we've done for you..." to do
things for me.
*When
my wife asks, "What's on TV", it is not wise to answer, "dust".
*A
great hiding place for your favourite biscuits or chocolates is in the
tea towel drawer - no one will ever find them.
*The
morning I choose to sleep in, the neighbour will choose to mow his lawn.
