    The hedgehog made his way down to the riverbank and very slowly walked into the water. As it got deeper, he soldiered on, gasping for breath. Suddenly he disappeared under and was only just able to get back to the bank.

    After resting for 10 minutes, the hedgehog tried again, after going under twice more he managed to get back to dry land before collapsing. This time it took him longer to recover but once he felt fit enough he started back into the water. Two ducks were watching from the other side of the bank and one said to the other

    " Come on George, don't you think it's time we told him he was adopted?"

    According to Thomas Cook in the UK, some holidaymakers are just never satisfied. Here are the top ten most bizarre and genuine customer complaints received by the firm in recent years:

    1 On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all.

    2 The beach was too sandy.

    3 I bought a snorkel and swimming mask for my six-year-old son, but he was too upset to use them as the fish frightened him.

    4 It rained on my birthday.

    5 Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women.

    6 I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.

    7 It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned.

    8 We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five euros (£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake.

    9 None of the hotel staff were English, and the tea didn't taste the same as at home.

    10 I would like to complain about the price of alcohol in the resort. It was too cheap and I woke with a hangover every day.





    People often moan about falling education standards and how bad the schools are, but my sister is sixteen and she's reading Shakespeare at school!

    If ignorance is bliss, why are McDonald's staff never happy?






    A family was having dinner on Mother's Day. For some reason the mother was unusually quiet. Finally the husband asked what was wrong.

    "Nothing," said the woman.

    Not buying it, he asked again. "Seriously, what's wrong?"

    "Do you really want to know? Well, I'll tell you. I have cooked and cleaned and fed the kids for 15 years and on Mother's Day, you don't even tell me so much as "Thank you."

    "Why should I?" he said. "Not once in 15 years have I had a Father's Day gift."


    "Yes," she said, "but I'm their real mother."

    I met a Essex girl in a night club. I was getting on great with her when she said, "one kiss and I'm yours forever."
    I said, "thanks for the warning."

    A tourist is walking through the red light district in Amsterdam when he sees a fine looking lady. He approaches her and taps on the window.

    "Yes. Well it is double-glazed."





    A man hits on a ploy to make some cash. He buys a dog, and painstakingly teaches it to recite the Lord's Prayer, word-for-word, until the dog has it perfect.

    He takes the dog to the pub, and says, "I bet anyone here a fiver that this dog can recite the Lord's Prayer!"

    Quite a few people take up the bet. The dog is put up on the bar.

    "Well, go on, then," says the man.

    "Ruff! ruff!" says the dog. "Ruff! Ruff!", and starts licking its balls.

    So the man loses all his money. On the way home, he says to the dog, "What the hell was that all about? I trained you to recite it perfectly!"

    "Yep," says the dog, "But just think what the odds'll be tomorrow night!"

    I staggered out of the pub and down the street, until I was stopped by a policeman.

    He said, "Where do you think you're going in that state?"

    I replied, "I'm going to a lecture."

    He said, "Yeah, right. Who gives a lecture at this time of night?"

    "My wife," I said.




    My gran died last week. The funeral director said, "bury her with something she liked."

    As the coffin lowered into the ground, all we could hear was grandad shouting for help.





    A young man was in town looking for a little something from the ladies. A cab driver gave him an address and told him he could find anything he wanted there.

    When the young man arrived, he saw a door with a small panel on it. He knocked and the panel slid open. A female voice asked what he wanted.

    "I want to get screwed," said the man.

    "OK, but this is a private club. Slide twenty bucks in the slot as an initiation fee," answered the voice.

    The man slid twenty dollars in the slot, the panel closed, and ten minutes passed. Nothing happened.

    He began to pound on the door, and the panel slid open.

    "Hey," exclaimed the man, "I want to get screwed!"

    "What?" said the voice, "Again?"






    I lost my grandad the other day. He's not dead, he's in Ikea.

    She was livid when I got home!

    "Show me your feminine side," my wife said to me today.

    "Okay," I replied and walked out the door.

    When I returned thirty minutes later, she moaned, "Where have you been?"

    "I was parking the car."





    I took my 6 year old son to the zoo last week. We were walking around the various cages and enclosures when all of a sudden he yells, “Look Dad! It's a frickin' Elephant!”

    I was shocked and slightly angry, as everybody was looking at us.
    “What did you call it?” I asked.

    “It's a frickin' Elephant, it says so on the picture!” he said,

    ... and so it did,

    If you get stopped by the police in the car and they get you to wind the window down and ask "Do you know why we pulled you over, sir?"

    Apparently, ''Did you forget?" isn't a suitable answer.





    It makes me laugh, how apparently every time I download a song off Limewire, I'm ruining the music industry.

    What about everytime they make a new series of X-Factor?





    A 16 year old girl bought herself a tiny bikini. She went home and put it on, then showed her mother.

    She then asked, "well, what do you think?"

    Her mother replied, "I think if I had worn that when I was your age, you'd be five years older."

    I succesfully predicted the lottery last night.

    I predicted I'd win sweet F A.





    I got 24 people in a room together and made them clear their minds and doddle down 6 numbers.

    I then got everyone's results and worked out the average score for each of the 6 numbers they noted down and entered them as my lottery numbers.

    Sadly 0.243, 89, 6874638, 785, 1789.45 and 432.3 didn't come up.





    My wife came home and said she had some good news and some bad news about the car.

    I said, "What's the good news?"

    She said, "The airbag works."

    I spent ages trying to cross a busy road.

    Some passer-by said, "There's a zebra crossing fifty yards up the road."

    I thought, "I hope he's having better luck than me."




    My wife accused me of cheating the other day.

    "We were on a break!" I said.

    "No we weren't!!"

    "Yes we were!"

    Approach: Avoid her unless you want to be her cabin boy.

    She orders: Mixed Drinks

    Meaning: Conservative and classy. Sophisticated, yet giggles.
    Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings with friends.

    She orders: Blue Nunl
    Meaning: Easy. Thinks she is classy and sophisticated. Actually clueless.
    Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is. This should be an easy.

    She orders: Shots
    Meaning: Likes to get totally drunk... and naked.
    Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed this evening. Nothing to do but wait.

    Male Drinks

    He orders: Beer

    My local council wants to ban pitbull terriers from the streets, but they're having problems with actually identifying which dogs are pitbulls.

    I personally don't see what the problem is. If they've got short legs, square shoulders and an aggressive temperament, then the dog they own is most likely a pitbull.

    A busload of politicians were driving down a country road, when suddenly the bus ran off the road and crashed into an old farmer's barn.
    The old farmer got off his tractor and went to investigate. Soon he dug a hole and buried the politicians. A few days later, the local policeman came out, saw the crashed bus and asked the old farmer where all the politicians had gone.

    The old farmer told him he had buried them.

    The policeman asked the old farmer, "Crickey, were they ALL dead?"

    The old farmer said, "Well, some of them said they weren't, but you know how them crooked bastards lie."

    Blackpool tower needs a new lick of Paint.

    So the foreman in charge finds three men who could do the job. An English man, an Irishman and a Scotsman.

    The Scotsman is first to see foreman. The foreman asks, "how much will the job cost in total?"
    The Scotsman says "3,000 pounds."
    "That's great," says the foreman, "could you break that down for me, please?"
    "Certainly," says the Scot. "That's 1,000 pounds for materials, 1,000 pounds for the labour and 1,000 pounds for myself."
    "That's fantastic, I'll let you know if you've got the job soon," says the foreman.

    Next up is the Englishman.

    The foreman asks the Englishman, "how much will the job cost in total?"
    The English man says, "6000 pounds."
    "That's lovely," says the foreman, "could you break that down for me, please?"
    "Of course," sayss the Englisman. "That's 2,000 pounds for materials, 2,000 pounds for the labour and 2,000 pounds for myself."
    "That's reasonable, I'll let you know if you've got the job soon," says the foreman.

    Next to come in is the Irishman.

    The foreman asks the Irishman "How much will the job cost in total?"
    The Irish man says "9,000 pounds."
    "Oh, I see," says the foreman, "could you break that down for me, please?"
    "By jeebus, of course, laddy,' says the Irishman. "That's 3,000 pounds for myself, 3,000 pounds for you, and we'll get that Scottish guy to do the job for 3,000."

    If you're ever in a hostage situation and the gun man says, "Who shall I shoot first?"

    Saying, "It's 'WHOM shall I shoot first?'" is not the best answer.






    A bloke working on the buses taking fares pushes one of his passengers off the bus and kills him. At the trial he is found guilty of murder and is sentenced to the electric chair.

    As a last meal he asks for a bunch of green bananas, which he duly eats.

    They sit him down, plug him in a send a million volts through him. When the smoke clears he is sitting there, right as rain. Checking through the statutes the governor finds he has no choice but to release him.

    The chap goes back to his job on the buses and lo and behold allows another passenger to fall to his death. Once again he is found guilty and sentenced to death.

    At the prison he, again, asks for a bunch of green bananas, which he duly recieves and scoffs down. In the chair again and this time he is zapped with 2 million volts. Smoke clears and bugger me there he sits, right as rain.

    As before he goes back to his old job. Through a combination of stupidity and sheer malice he, yet again, allows another passenger to fall to their death (under a train at that, it was quite nasty really!) The judge has no choice but to find him guilty and off he goes to the chair.

    As you may have guessed he asks for his bunch of green bananas (getting predictable now) Eats them, gets strapped in, 3 million volts and yep, he's right as rain.

    The executioner, who is really pissed off by now, approaches him and asks what the secret is, is it (as he suspects) the green bananas that save his life. "No" replies the prisoner "I'm just a bad conductor!"
