    VERY INTERESTING FACTS ! ! Dead Penguins - I never knew this.
    Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica ? Where do they go? Wonder no more ! ! !
    It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life. If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried. The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing: scroll down "Freeze a jolly good fellow." "Freeze a jolly good fellow." You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, . I am sorry, an urge came over me that made me do it!!! Oh quit whining I fell for it, too

    "This old lady handed her bank card to the teller and said “I would like to withdraw £10”. The teller told her “for withdrawals less than £100, please use the ATM.
    The old lady wanted to know why... The teller returned her bank card and irritably told her “these are the rules, please leave if there is no further matter. There is a line of customers behind you”.
    The old lady remained silent for a few seconds and handed her card back to the teller and said “please help me withdraw all the money I have.” The teller was astonished when she checked the account balance. She nodded her head, leaned down and respectfully told her “you have £300,000 in your account but the bank doesn’t have that much cash currently. Could you make an appointment and come back again tomorrow?
    The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately. The teller told her any amount up to £3000. “Well please let me have £3000 now.” The teller kindly handed £3000 very friendly and with a smile to her.
    The old lady put £10 in her purse and asked the teller to deposit £2990 back into her account.
    The moral of this story is....
    Don’t be difficult with old people, they spent a lifetime learning the skill."

    DID YOU KNOW...

    David Bowie bought Bing Crosby a pom pom for Christmas.

    Not any old pom pom, though -

    A proper pom pom.

    My wife’s recently left me because of my overbearing insecurity issues.


    No, wait!




    She’s back.





    She just went to the kitchen to get a cup of tea.

    My neighbour told me I am a bit of a looker.

    Well "peeping Tom" was the actual phrase she used, but I know what she meant.

    I was at an ATM the other night, and a little old lady asked if I could help her check her balance.

    So I pushed her over.

    Irish man decides to visit Romania, and on his first evening there he meets a nice looking girl in the local. After a couple of hours and a few drinks, he asks her does she want to spend the night with him in his hotel room for €200.

    She agrees and goes back to the hotel, they do the business and he gives her €200.

    They agree to meet again the following night at the bar, and the same arrangement, back to the hotel and stay the night with him for €200.

    And again, they meet on the 3rd night, back to the hotel, have a bit of a ride, €200.

    As they are lying there in the bed, she asks him where in Ireland he is from, to which he replies Donegal..

    'oh..' she says 'thats funny, I have a sister living there..'

    'I know..' he said 'before I came over she gave me €600 and asked me to give it to you'

    My pet goldfish has epilepsy :(

    He seems to get better when I put him back in his bowl, though.
