    Bought a pack of those Animal Biscuits but had to return them to the shop... Why?

    The Seal was broken.

    A couple were at the door just now, trying to convert me to the use of a natural moisturiser for hair and skin from the oil of a seed.

    I think they were Jojoba's Witnesses.

    Bought my mam a tin of Celebrations for Christmas.
    For a laugh, I've swapped all the wrappers around.

    Wait til she opens them, she'll get her snickers in a twix!

    I once went to a fancy dress party as a harp.
    Someone said, "you're not a harp, you're way too small!"
    I replied, "are you calling me a lyre?"

    Roger Moore has a gritter for his driveway that he uses in bad weather and never shares.

    It is For his Ice Only.

    Earlier this evening, I got knocked off my bike by a council lorry preparing the road for cold weather.
    "Why don't you look where you're going?" I shouted through gritted teeth.

    I used to sit next to Slade's Noddy Holder at school.
    The teacher was forever catching him eating snacks.

    One day, she snapped at him and shouted, "Noddy, what are you eating now?"

    Noddy replied, " IT'S CRISPS MISSSSSS!!!"

    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."

    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'

    The answer is always NO.

    How many times do folk say 'I slept like a log last night.'
    Quite a lot i guess.
    So here's the point.....Have you ever heard of a log snoring?
    Have you ever seen a log pulling up the covers?
    Have you ever heard a log asking for its conjugal rights?
    Have you ever seen a log go for a pee in the middle of the night?
    Have you ever heard a log talk in its sleep?
    Zzzzzzzz.nite everyone.

    Guys, just wanted to take a minute to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy year, most of all good health! These days people don't spend much time or thought on some personal words to their friends and family, they just copy and paste some random message and send it on. So after all we've been though together this year I want to thank you for your friendship and wish you a happy and fulfilling 2018 - you’re the best gymnastics group anyone could ask for. Best wishes, Helen

    Two men walking through the desert.

    Desperate for a drink of water, get to the top of a dune and see a Bedouin market in the next valley.

    Overjoyed, they run down to the market and approach the nearest stallholder to ask him for some water.

    "Sorry", he says, "I don't have any water, Only custard, jelly or sponge cake".

    Frustrated, they try the next stall.

    And the next, and the next one after that.

    Every stallholder just says the same thing, "sorry, I only have jelly, sponge cake or custard".

    Getting more and more thirsty, they leave the market and continue their search for water.

    "That was very strange, back there" says the first man to his friend.



    "I agree", says his friend, "it was a trifle bazaar".
