    Found on the Refrigerator One Morning :

    My Dear Wife, You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 57 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and I value you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter, I hope that you will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my 18 year old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel. Please don't be upset----I shall be home before midnight.

    When the man came home late that night, he found the following letter on the dining room table: My Dear Husband, I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 57 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also 57 years old. As you know, I am a maths teacher at our local college and I would like to inform you that while you read this, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students. He is young, virile, and like your secretary, is 18 years old. As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of math, you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one small difference: - 18 goes into 57 a lot more times than 57 goes into 18. Therefore, I may not be home for a few days.

    Hotel Sex in Blackpool


    A man checks into a hotel in Blackpool while on a business trip and was
    a bit lonely.


    He thought of one of those girls you see advertised in phone boxes. He
    popped into a phone box near the hotel and found an ad for a girl calling
    herself Erogonique, a lovely girl, bending over in the photo.


    She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful long
    wavy hair, long graceful legs... Well, you get the picture!
    He copied the phone number and returned to his hotel.

    When back in the room he figures, what the hell, give her a call.
    'Hello', the woman says. Gosh, she sounded sexy so he continues..

    'Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I'd like you to come to my
    room and give me one.
    No, wait, I should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and
    what I really want is sex.

    I want it hard, I want it hot, and I want it now.

    Bring implements, toys, rubber leather, whips, everything you've got
    in your bag of tricks.
    Tie me up, cover me in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, anything you
    want!
    Now, how does that sound?



    She says, 'That sounds fantastic love, but you need to press 9 for an
    outside line.'

    First drink


    I was reading an article last night about fathers and sons and memories came flooding back of the time I took my son out for his first pint.
    Got him a Fosters ...... he didn't like it - I had it.
    Then I got him Carlsberg, he didn't like it so I had it.
    It was the same with Guinness and Cider.
    By the time we got down to the whiskey I could hardly push the bloody pram.

    One morning three women are golfing on the fourth green when suddenly a guy runs by wearing nothing but a bag over his head. As he passes by the first woman, she looks down and says, "Well, he's certainly not my husband." As he passes by the second woman, she also glances downward and says, "He's not my husband either." He then passes by the third woman, who also looks down as he runs by her. "Wait a minute," she says. "He's not even a member of this golf club."

    A guy looking for a place to sit in a crowded university library asked a girl:
    "Do you mind if I sit beside you?"
    The girl replied in a very loud voice:
    "HOW DARE YOU?!
    I DO NOT EVEN KNOW YOU AND YOU ARE ASKING ME TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU! ARE YOU CRAZY? OR WHAT?

    All the students in the library started staring at the guy; he was truly embarrassed and moved to another table.

    After a couple of minutes, the girl walked quietly to the guy's table and said with a laugh: "I study psychology, and I know what a man is thinking. I guess you felt embarrassed, right?"

    The guy then responded in a loud voice:
    "WHAT?! $500 FOR ONE NIGHT? . . . THAT'S TOO MUCH!"

    All the people in the library looked at the girl in shock. Then the guy whispered to her:
    "I study law, and I know how to screw people.

    Billy was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living.

    All the typical answers came out, fireman, policeman, salesman, chippy, captain of industry etc, but Billy was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.

    "My father is an exotic dancer in a gay club and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes if the offer is really good, he'll go out with a man, rent a cheap hotel room and let them sleep with him."

    The teacher quickly set the other children some work and took little Billy aside to ask him if that was really true.

    No" said Billy, "He works in a Bank but I was just too embarrassed to say."

    Understanding Engineers #1

    Two engineering students were biking across a university campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"�The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."�The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice: The clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway.

    A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.�The engineer fumed, "What's with those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!"�The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!"�The priest said, "Here comes the greens-keeper. Let's have a word with him." He said, "Hello George, What's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"�The greens-keeper replied, "Oh, �yes. That's a group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime!"�The group fell silent for a moment. The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."�The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if here's anything she can do for them."�The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?

    An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."�He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.�The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn back into a beautiful princess and stay with you for one week."�The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.�The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want."�Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.�Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess and that I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"�The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog - now that's cool."

    And Finally Two engineers???

    Two engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top.A woman walked by and asked what they were doing."We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole," said Sven, "but we don't have a ladder."The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a couple of bolts, and laid the pole down on the ground. Then she took a tape measure from her pocketbook, took a measurement, announced, "Twenty one feet, six inches," and walked away.One engineer shook his head and laughed, "A lot of good that does us. We ask for the height and she gives us the length!"Both engineers have since quit their engineering jobs and are currently serving in the United States Congress.

    Ever wondered what the difference between Grannies and Grandads is?

    A 5 year old Granddaughter is usually taken to her school,
    daily, by her Grandfather.


    When he had a bad cold his wife took the Grandchild.

    That night she told her parents that the ride to school with Granny was
    very different!!

    "What made it different?" asked her parents:


    "Gran and I didn't see a single tosser, blind bastard, dickhead, Asian
    prick or wanker anywhere on the way to school today!'

    A farmer named Sam was overseeing his herd in a remote hilly pasture in Hereford when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
    The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the farmer, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"
    Sam looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing animals and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"
    The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3® cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
    The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany ...
    Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL®
    database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry® and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
    Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the Farmer and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
    "That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Sam.
    He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
    Then Sam says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"
    The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
    "You're a Member of the European Parliament", says Sam.
    "Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"
    "No guessing required." answered Sam. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of pounds worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep.
    Now give me back my dog.
    AND THAT FRIENDS IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE EU

    They always ask at the doctor's reception why you are there, and you have to answer in front of others what's wrong and sometimes it is embarrassing.


    There's nothing worse than a Doctor's Receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong with you, in a room full of other patients.
    I know most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy handled it.



    A 75-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk.
    The Receptionist said, 'Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?'


    'There's something wrong with my dick', he replied.


    The receptionist became irritated and said, 'You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that. '



    'Why not, you asked me what was wrong and I told you,' he said.


    The Receptionist replied; 'Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people.
    You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private.'


    The man replied, 'You shouldn't ask people questions in a roomful of strangers if the answer could embarrass anyone.
    The man walked out, waited several minutes, and then re-entered.


    The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, 'Yes??'


    'There's something wrong with my ear,' he stated.


    The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice.
    'And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?'


    'I can't piss out of it,' he replied.


    The waiting room erupted in laughter.
    Mess with seniors and you're going to lose!

    Should children witness childbirth?
    Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call.
    The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a torch high over her mummy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.
    Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked.Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born.
    The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom.
    Connor began to cry.
    The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded,
    "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place ....smack his arse again!"

    If you don't laugh at this one there is no hope for you

    Walking can add minutes to your life.
    This enables you at 85 years old
    to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
    home at $4,000 per month.


    My grandpa started walking
    five miles a day when he was 60.
    Now he's 97 years old
    and we have no idea where the hell he is.

    I like long walks,
    especially when they are taken
    by people who annoy me.

    AUSSIE TRUCKER & THE EMU
    An Aussie trucker walks into an outback cafe with a full-grown emu behind him.

    The waitress asks them for their orders.

    The trucker says, 'A hamburger, chips and a coke,' and turns to the emu, 'What's yours?'
    'Sounds great, I'll have the same,' says the emu.

    A short time later the waitress returns with the order 'That will be $9.40 please,' and he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change and pays.

    The next day, the man and the emu come again and he says, 'A hamburger, chips and a coke.'
    The emu says, ' Sounds great, I'll have the same.'

    Again the trucker reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.

    This becomes routine until the two enter again. 'The usual?' asks the waitress.

    'No, it's Friday night, so I'll have a steak, baked potato and a
    salad,' says the man..
    'Same for me,' says the emu.

    Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, 'That will be
    $32.62.'


    Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.

    The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. 'Excuse me mate, how do you manage to always pull the exact change from your pocket every time?'

    'Well, love' says the trucker, 'a few years ago, I was cleaning out the back shed, and found an old lamp. When I cleaned it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.

    My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.'

    'That's brilliant!' says the waitress. 'Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want, for as long as you live!'

    'That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there.' says the man.
    Still curious the waitress asks, 'What's with the bloody emu?'

    The trucker pauses, sighs, and answers, 'My second wish was for a tall bird with a big bum and long legs who agrees with everything I say.

    A father goes into his daughter’s bedroom and sees a letter addressed to “Mum and Dad” on the bed. With a heavy heart he opens it and reads:
    Dear Mum & Dad,

    It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m telling you that I’ve eloped with my new boyfriend. I’ve found real love and he is so nice. Especially with all his piercings, scars, tattoos and his stolen Harley.But it’s not only that, I’m pregnant, and Ahmed said that we will be very happy in his caravan in Epping Forest. He wants to have many more children with me and that’s one of my dreams too.

    I’ve learned that marijuana does not hurt anyone and we’ll be growing it for us and Ahmed’s friends. They’re the ones providing us with all the cocaine and ecstasy we could ever want.

    In the meantime we’ll pray for science to find a cure for AIDS, so Ahmed can get better. He deserves it.

    Don’t worry about money. Ahmed has arranged for me to be in films that his friends Leroy and Jamal make in their basement. Apparently I can earn £200 per scene. I get a £200 bonus if there are more than three men in the scene and an extra £100 for the Alsatian.

    Don’t worry Mum. Now I’m 14 I know how to take care of myself. Someday we’ll visit you and Dad so that you can meet your grandchildren.

    Dad, I found the cash you were hiding from mum, but don't worry we left you a few quid.

    Your loving daughter,
    Angelina.






    Scroll Down.









    P.S
    Dad, for God's sake calm down.It’s not true.I’m actually watching TV at the neighbours.I just wanted to show you that there really are worse things in life than England losing the Ashes.

    A father put his 3 year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which ended by 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 like this, "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 spent the worst day of my life."

    She said, "You think you had a bad day, you'll never believe what happened to me. This morning my golf pro dropped dead in the middle of my lesson!"

    A young lad's father picked him up from school to take him to a dental appointment.

    Knowing the parts for the school play were supposed to be announced today, he asked his son if he got a part.

    The boy enthusiastically announced that he'd gotten a part. "I play a man who's been married for twenty years."

    "That's great, son. Keep up the good work and before you know it they'll be giving you a speaking part."

    Bill and his assigned caddie started off the first tee of the fancy resort course Bill was playing. It was his first time using a caddie, and he was excited.

    But by the eighth hole, Bill was already 24 over par. He had lost 9 balls in water hazards. And trying to hack his way out of the rough, Bill had dug a trench a foot deep.

    Then, on the No. 9 green, Bill was standing over a one foot putt when his caddie coughed right in the middle of his stroke. Bill exploded.

    "You must be the worst caddie in the history of golf!" Bill screamed.

    "I doubt it," the caddie replied. "That'd be too much of a coincidence."

    A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again.

    The captain's parrot saw the shows every week and began to understand what the magician did in every trick. Once he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show.

    "Look, it's not the same hat!" "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!" "Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades?"

    The magician was furious but couldn't do anything, it was the captain's parrot after all.

    One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, and of course the parrot was by his side.

    After a week the parrot finally said, "Okay, I give up. What'd you do with the boat?"

    A man died and went to The Judgment, they told him , “Before you meet with God, I should tell you — we’ve looked over your life, and to be honest you really didn’t do anything particularly good or bad. We’re not really sure what to do with you. Can you tell us anything you did that can help us make a decision?”

    The newly arrived soul thought for a moment and replied, “Yeah, once I was driving along and came upon a person who was being harassed by a group of thugs. So I pulled over, got out a bat, and went up to the leader of the thugs. He was a big, muscular guy with a ring pierced through his lip. Well, I tore the ring out of his lip, and told him he and his gang had better stop bothering this guy or they would have to deal with me!”

    “Wow that’s impressive, “When did this happen?”

    “About three minutes ago,” came the reply.

    An old man went to the Doctor complaining that his wife could barely hear. The Doctor suggested a test to find out the extent of the problem. “Stand far behind her and ask her a question, and then slowly move up and see how far away you are when she first responds.” The old man excited to finally be working on a solution for the problem, runs home and sees his wife preparing supper. ” Honey” the man asks standing around 20 feet away “whats for supper?” After receiving no response he tried it again 15 feet away, and again no response. Then again at 10 feet away and again no response. Finally he was 5 feet away “honey whats for supper?”
    She replies “For the fourth time it’s lasagna!”

    Sean was just a regular guy. Except for the fact that he was an only child and the fact that his multi millionaire father was breathing his last.

    Since Sean was a soon to be multimillionaire it only made sense that he should have a woman to share his riches with. Sean approached his childhood crush. “Hey Sandra, I may look like a regular guy, but I’m soon gonna be a multimillionaire! Do you wanna come home with me?”

    “Sure thing” Sandra replied, “I would love to come home with you.”

    And that’s the story how Sandra became Sean's stepmother.

    Mick walked over to the Priest after Mass, “You know Father, I am really stuck in a quandary I would like to attend church next week but I just can’t miss the big game in Old Trafford next Sunday, it’s just out of the question.” “Oh Mick, Mick” said the Priest putting his arm around Mick, “don’t you know? it can be recorded.” Mick’s face lit up “you mean I could record your sermon?”

    Brian, one of the worlds greatest hypochondriacs, bumped into his Doctor one day at the supermarket.

    “Doctor!” Brian shouted out, “I’ve been meaning to tell you, remember those voices I kept on hearing in my head? I haven’t heard them in over a week!”

    “Wow! What wonderful news Brian! I’m so happy for you!” said the Doctor.

    “Wonderful?” asked a dismal looking Brian. “There’s nothing wonderful about it. I’m afraid my hearing is starting to go now!

    Jim, was in the hospital on his death bed. The family called the Priest to be with him in his final moments. As the Rev. Father stood by the bed, Jims’s condition seemed to deteriorate, and Jim motioned for someone to quickly pass him a pen and paper. The Priest quickly got a pen and paper and lovingly handed it to Jim. But before he had a chance to read the note, Jim died. The Priest feeling that now wasn’t the right time to read it put the note in his jacket pocket. It was at the funeral while speaking that he suddenly remembered the note. Reaching deep into his pocket the Priest said “and you know what, I suddenly remembered that right before Jim died he handed me a note, and knowing Jim I’m sure it was something inspiring that we can all gain from. With that introduction he ripped out the note and opened it.

    The note read “HEY, YOU ARE STANDING ON MY OXYGEN TUBE!”

    I lovingly gave my niece a kiss on her cheek upon seeing her at a family get-together. Afterwords, I noticed her wiping her cheek. ”Are you wiping off my kiss?”, I asked her. ”No”, she smartly replied, “I’m just rubbing it in!”

    My daughter sure showed me what a back seat driver I am! On our way to the shop today, I stopped short at a red light causing the car to jolt. As soon as I jerked my 3 year old in the back seat hollered Daaaaave. Not sure why she had called my husband’s name, I asked her why she had said what she did. ”That’s what you say when someone stops like that”, she innocently replied.

    Mam, Dad, sit down. I have something very important to tell you,” said Gill, upon her return home from college after graduation. “I met a guy who lives near the college that I really like and we decided we are going to get married!”

    “Oh Gill! I am so happy for you!” Gushed her Mam giving her a big hug, “I hope you two will be really happy together! I can’t wait to meet him!”

    “Tell us more about him” said her Dad, “does he have any money?”
    “Oh Dad! Is that all you men ever think about?
    That was the first question he asked me about you too!”

    Two guys were playing golf, one of them was about to swing the golf club when he noticed a funeral procession going by on the street. The man stopped in mid-swing and closed his eyes and said a short prayer. The other man truly inspired, remarked, clearing his throat, “wow that was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.” “Well”, the other man said “I was married to her for 35 years.”

    I have been in many places, but I've never been in Kahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Kahoots with someone.

    I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

    I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there.I have made several trips there, thanks to my children, friends, family and work.

    I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.

    I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.

    I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.

    Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.

    One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

    I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing. They tell me it is very wet and damp there.

    Recently, Germany conducted some scientific exploration involving their best scientists. Core drilling samples of earth were taken to a depth of 50m and during the core examinations, small pieces of copper were discovered. After running many arduous tests on these samples, the German government announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nationwide telephone network.

    Naturally, the British government was not that easily impressed. So they ordered their own scientists to take their core samples at a depth of 100m. From these samples, they found small pieces of glass and soon announced that the ancient Brits 35,000 years ago already had a nationwide optical fibre network.

    Irish scientists were outraged. So immediately after this announcement, they ordered their scientist to take samples at a depth of 200m but found absolutely nothing. They concluded that the ancient Irish 55,000 years ago were an even more advanced civilisation, as they already had a mobile telephone network in place.

    Some people have asked what I'm going to be doing in retirement.

    Well, I applied for a building permit for a new house. It was going to be 30 meters tall and 50 meters wide, with 12 gun turrets at various heights, windows all over the place and a loud outside entertainment sound system that was going to entertain the whole neighbourhood. It would have parking for 200 cars, and I was going to paint it bog green with pink trim.

    The local council told me, “Forget it...IT’S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!”

    So, I sent in the application again, but this time I called it a 'Church'.

    Work starts on Monday.

    Police Officer Test

    How do you tell the difference between an English Police Officer, a Canadian Police Officer, an American Police Officer and a Scottish police officer?

    QUESTION: You're on duty by yourself (don't ask why, you just are, and your Sergeant hates you) walking on a deserted street late at night.
    Suddenly, an armed man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife and lunges at you.
    You are carrying your baton and are an expert in using it. However, you have only a split second to react before he reaches you. What do you do ?

    ANSWER:

    British Police Officer:

    Firstly, the Officer must consider the man's human rights.

    1) Does the man look poor or oppressed ?

    2) Is he newly arrived in this country and does not yet understand the law ?

    3) Is this really a knife or a ceremonial dagger ?

    4) Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack ?

    5) Am I dressed provocatively ?

    6) Could I run away ?

    7) Could I possibly swing my baton and knock the knife out of his hand ?

    8) Should I try and negotiate with him to discuss his wrong-doings ?

    9) Why am I carrying a baton anyway and what kind of message does this send to society ?

    10) Does he definitely want to kill me or would he be content just to wound me ?

    11) If I were to grab his knees and hold on, would he still want to stab and kill me ?

    12) If I raise my baton and he turns and runs away, do I get blamed if he falls over, knocks his head and kills himself ?

    13) If I hurt him and lose the subsequent court case, does he have the opportunity to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and the loss of my family home ?


    Canadian Police Officer:

    BANG !


    American Police Officer:

    BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG !

    'Click'...Reload...

    BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG !


    Glasgow Police Officer:


    "Haw, Jimmie.. Drop the knife, noo, unless you want it stuck up yer arse!"

    A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below.

    He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

    The woman 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 in IT," said the balloonist.
    "I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"

    "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is 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."

    The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."
    "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

    "Well," said the woman, "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. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my f***ing fault.”

    A doctor in Dublin wanted to get off work and go fishing, so he approached his assistant ."Murphy, I am going fishing tomorrow and don't want to close the clinic. I want you to take care of the clinic and take care of all me patients".

    Yes, sir!" answers Murphy. The doctor goes fishing and returns the following day and asks: "So, Murphy, how was your day?" Murphy told him that he took care of three patients. "The first one had a headache so he did, I gave him Paracetamol."

    "Bravo Murphy lad, and the second one?" asks the doctor. "The second one had indigestion and I gave him Gaviscon, so I did sir" says Murphy."Bravo, bravo!

    You're good at this and what about the third one?" asks the doctor. "Sir, I was sitting here and suddenly the door flies open and a young gorgeous woman bursts in so she does. Like a bolt outta the blue, she tears off her clothes, taking off everything including her bra and her knickers and lies down on the table, spreading her legs and shouts: 'HELP ME for the love of St Patrick! For five years I have not seen any man!'"

    "Thunderin' lard above in Heaven, Murphy, what did you do?" asks the doctor! "I put drops in her eyes."

    Remember when they delivered milk?

    For those of us who remember Milk Deliveries in Bottles, here is a good example of
    a collection of notes left in milk bottles...

    Dear milkman:

    I've just had a baby, please leave another one.

    Please leave an extra pint of paralysed milk.

    Cancel one pint after the day after today.

    Please don't leave any more milk. All they do is drink it.

    Milkman, please close the gate behind you because the birds keep pecking the tops off the milk.

    Milkman, please could I have a loaf but not bread today.

    Please cancel milk. I have nothing coming into the house but two sons on the dole.

    Sorry not to have paid your bill before, but my wife had a baby and I've been carrying it around in my pocket for weeks.

    Sorry about yesterday's note. I didn't mean one egg and a dozen pints, but the other way round.

    When you leave my milk please knock on my bedroom window and wake me because I want you to give me a hand to turn the mattress.

    Please knock. My TV's broken down and I missed last night's Coronation Street . If you saw it, will you tell me what happened over a cup of tea?

    My daughter says she wants a milkshake. Do you do it before you deliver or do I have to shake the bottle?

    Please send me a form for cheap milk, for I have a baby two months old and did not know about it until a neighbour told me.

    Please send me details about cheap milk as I am stagnant.

    Milk is needed for the baby. Father is unable to supply it.

    From now on please leave two pints every other day and one pint on the days in between, except Wednesdays and Saturdays when I don't want any milk.

    My back door is open. Please put milk in 'fridge, get money out of cup in drawer and leave change on kitchen table in pence, because we want to play bingo tonight.

    Please leave no milk today. When I say today, I mean tomorrow, for I wrote this note yesterday.

    Milkman please put the coal on the boiler, let dog out and put newspaper inside the screen door. P.S. Don't leave any milk.

    No milk. Please do not leave milk at No. 14 either as he is dead until further notice.

    Bob received the following text from his neigbour:

    "I am so sorry Bob. I've been riddled with guilt and I have to confess.
    I have been tapping your wife day and night when you're not around.
    I'm not getting it at home, but that's no excuse.
    I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won't happen again."

    Bob, feeling anguished and betrayed, went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife and killed her.

    A few moments later, a second text came in from the neigbour:

    "Damn spell check, I meant 'wifi', not 'wife'. "

    Last night I reached for my liquid Viagra and accidentally swigged
    from a bottle of Liquid Paper.
    I woke up this morning with a huge correction.

    My girlfriend said she was leaving me due to my obsession with the
    60's rock group The Monkees.
    I thought she was joking ......... And then I saw her face......

    My budgie broke his leg today so I made him a little splint out of a
    couple of Redhead matches.
    His little face lit up when he tried to walk... unfortunately, I had
    forgotten to remove the sandpaper from the bottom of his cage.

    I got sacked last night from the Salvation Army soup kitchen, the
    ungrateful bastards.
    All I said was, 'Hurry up for Christ's sake ............ Some of us
    have got homes to go to!'

    Women should be like golf caddies, either holding your balls or getting
    your bloody tee ready!

    Last night I was sitting on the sofa watching TV when I heard my
    wife's voice from the kitchen, 'What do you feel like for dinner my
    love chicken, beef or lamb?' I said, 'Chicken, please.'
    She replied, 'You're having soup you fat bastard, I was talking to the
    cat!'

    Got myself a new Jack Russell puppy, he's mainly black and brown with
    a small white patch, so I've named him England...

    A farmer drove to a neighbor's farmhouse and knocked at the door. A boy, about 9, opened the door."Is your dad or mom home?" said the farmer."No, they went to town." "How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?" "No, he went with Mom and Dad."The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, mumbling to himself.When the young boy says. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give Dad a message..""Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, No, "I really want to talk to your Dad, about your brother Howard getting my daughter Suzy pregnant". The boy thought for a moment...then says "you'll have to talk to my Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bulls and $50 for the pigs, but I have no idea how much he charges for Howard."

    Last year, I replaced, like, all the windows in my house with those expensive, double-pane, energy-efficient kind. Today, I, like, got a call from the contractor who installed them. He complained that the work had been completed a year ago and I still hadn't, like, paid for them. OMG! Hellloooo,............ Just because I'm Blondie, doesn't mean that I'm, like, automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast-talking sales guy told me last year; that these windows would, like, pay for themselves in a year!Helllooooo? It's been a year, so they're, like, paid for, I told him. There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally hung up. He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot.

    Garage Door. The boss walked into the office one morning not knowing
    his zipper was down and his fly area wide open. His assistant walked up to him and said,
    'This morning when you left your house, did you close your garage door?' The boss told
    her he knew he'd closed the garage door, and walked into his office puzzled by the question.

    As he finished his paperwork, he suddenly noticed his fly was open, and zipped it up.
    He then understood his assistant's question about his 'garage door.'

    He headed out for a cup of coffee and paused by her desk to ask, 'When my garage door
    was open, did you see my Jaguar parked in there?'

    She smiled and said, 'No, I didn't. All I saw was an old minivan with two flat tires..'


    Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: 'Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?'
    Slim says, 'I feel just like a newborn baby.'
    'Really!? Like a newborn baby!?'
    'Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.'

    'Is she a good cook?'

    'Does she have lots of money?'
    'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
    'Well, then, is she good in bed?'
    'I don't know.'
    'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'
    'Because she can still drive!'

    Morris , an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
    A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
    A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'
    Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''

    The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'
    'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'

    5-Minute Management Course

    Lesson 1:

    A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
    The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
    When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.
    Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel..'
    After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
    The woman wraps back up in the towel and
    goes back upstairs.
    When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
    'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies.
    'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

    Moral of the story:

    If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.



    Lesson 2:

    A priest offered a Nun a lift.
    She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.
    The priest nearly had an accident.
    After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg..
    The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
    The priest removed his hand But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
    The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'
    Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
    On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

    Moral of the story:

    If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

    Lesson 3:

    A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
    They rub it and a Genie comes out.

    The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' 'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'
    Puff! She's gone.
    'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'
    Puff! He's gone.



    'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.
    The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'

    Moral of the story:

    Always let your boss have the first say.

    Lesson 4:

    An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.
    A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
    The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
    So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

    Moral of the story:

    To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.



    Lesson 5:
    A turkey was chatting with a bull.
    'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.' 'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'
    The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
    The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
    Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
    He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

    Moral of the story:

    Bull **** might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..

    Lesson 6:
    A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
    While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
    As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
    The dung was actually thawing him out!
    He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
    A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate..
    Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.



    Morals of the story:

    (1) Not everyone who ****s on you is your enemy.
    (2) Not everyone who gets you out of **** is your friend..
    (3) And when you're in deep ****, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

    This was written by a black gentleman in Texas. What a great sense of humour...

    When I was born, I was BLACK,
    When I grew up, I was BLACK,
    When I went in the sun, I stayed BLACK,
    When I got cold, I was BLACK,
    When I was scared, I was BLACK,
    When I was sick, I was BLACK,
    And when I die, I'll still be BLACK.

    NOW, You 'white' folks......

    When you're born, you're PINK,
    When you grow-up, you're WHITE,
    When you go in the sun, you get RED,
    When you're cold, you turn BLUE,
    When you're scared, you're YELLOW, When you get sick, you're GREEN
    When you bruise, you turn PURPLE,
    And when you die, you look GREY. So why y'all be callin' us
    COLOURED Folks?

    I'm pretty sure it was written by a white South African.

    Can't remember the name but part of the routine was going through the official statistics of how many people changed race each year on the basis that you just couldn't make this stuff up.

    "Winnie's in the poo" was a take on Mandela's wife
