Racerbear02 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Wee Billy from Glasgay always wanted to look cool.His friend told him that he needed a good designer pair of trainers to go with his shell suit.Billy saved up all his Giros and all the money he got back from returning his empty bottles of ginger beer and finally managed to get himself a pair of brilliant white trainers to go with his shell suit.Proudly, he strutted down the street calling out to all the passers by "See ma new trainers? Stonkin, eh?"One fine upstanding gentleman pointed out that they were indeed a fine pair of trainers but was young Billy aware that one shoelace was undone?Billy scornfully retorted that it was part of being cool to have a trailing lace on one trainer, and that on the sole of the trainer there were instructions for the wearer to do such a thing.When asked for proof of this instruction, Billy took off his trainer and held it upside down for the disbeliever to read.

Dave&Olive Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Grandpa, What Is Sex?An 8-year-old girl went to her grandfather, who wasworking in the yard and asked him, "Grampa, what is sex?"The grandfather was surprised that she would ask such aquestion, but decided that if she's old enough to know toask the question, then she's old enough to get a straightanswer. Steeling himself to leave nothing out, heproceeded to tell her all about human reproduction and thejoys and responsibilities of intercourse.When he finished explaining, the little girl was lookingat him with her mouth hanging open, eyes wide inamazement.Seeing the look on her face, the grandfather asked her,"Why did you ask this question, honey?"The little girl replied, "Grandma says that dinner will beready in just a couple of secs."

PaulT Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 THE TOURIST AND THE RATA tourist from London walked into a Brighton antique shop.After looking around for a while, he noticed a very life-like bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but it was so striking that he decided to buy it anyway.He took it to the owner and said: 'How much is this bronze rat?'The owner replied: 'It's £12 for the rat, and £100 for the story.'The tourist gave the owner his £12 and said: 'I'll just take the rat, you can keep the story.'As he walked off down the street, he noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the sewers and begun following him.This was a little disconcerting, so he started to walk a little faster, but within a few yards the swarm of rats had grown to hundreds, and they were all squealing and screeching in a very menacing way.He increased his speed & ran on towards the beach, and as he ran, he looked behind him and saw the rats now numbered in their MILLIONS, and they were running faster and faster.By now very concerned, he ran down to the pier and threw the bronze Rat far out into the water.Amazingly, the millions of real rats jumped into the water after it and were all drowned.The man walked back to relate all this to the shop owner, who said: 'Ah, you've come back for the story then?''No,' said the tourist, 'I came back to see if you've got a bronze Muslim Fundamentalist Cleric, a couple of illegal immigrants, an Arsenal supporter, and anything French!'

tonyinfrance Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I went to Greenwich last night, I like the place but I don't like the people. They think the world revolves around them. Last night I had a dream that I had written the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I was Tolkien in my sleep. I went to look at a flat last night. I walked in and all the walls were covered in mirrors. I thought, "I can see myself living here!" Someone just left me a load of Lego. I don't know what to make of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 WEE SCOTTISH JOKE On a bitterly cold winter's morning a husband and wife in Glasgow were listening to the radio during breakfast.They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the Snowplows can get through".So the good wife went out and moved his car as instructed.A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through".The good wife went out and moved his car again.The next week they are again having breakfast when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park......." Then the electric power went out. The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?"Then, with all the love and understanding in his voice that all Scotsmen who are married to blondes always exhibit, the husband replied "Why don't you just leave the bloody car in the garage this time?"

Christine Animal Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 A man offered a mobile phone as a present to his blond wife. He spent some time trying to explain to her how to use it, but she just couldn't get the hang of it.He finally gave in and told her to just put it in her handbag when she went out and if it rang to press the green button.So off she went to do some shopping with the phone in her handbag. As she reached the grocer's it started to ring.She pressed the green button and her husband calling said "There, it wasn't so difficult, you managed to answer it.""Yes", she replied "It was easy, but Darling, how did you know I was at the grocer's?!"

Benjamin Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 After being married for thirty years, a wife asked her husband to describe her.He looked at her for a while ... then said, "You're A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K."She asks ... "What does that mean?"He said, "Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Foxy, Gorgeous, Hot.She smiled happily and said .... "Oh, that's so lovely ... What about I, J, K?"He said, "I'm Just Kidding!" The swelling in his eye is going down and the doctor is fairly optimistic about saving his testicles.

Dave&Olive Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 DOG FOR SALE A man sees a sign outside a house - 'Talking Dog For Sale.' He rings the bell, the owner appears and tells him the dog can be viewed in the back garden.The man sees a very nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting there. "Do you really talk?" he asks the dog. "Yes," the Labrador replies. After recovering from the shock of hearing the dog talk, the man asks, "So, tell me your story." The Labrador looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the SAS."In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one imagined that a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years". "But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at Heathrow Airport to do some undercover security work, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded several medals. I got married, had a few puppies, and now I've just retired." The man is amazed. He goes back into the house and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog. "Ten quid," the owner says."Ā£10!!? But this dog is absolutely amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheaply?" "Because he's a lying bastard, he's never been out of the garden." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racerbear02 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 This, apparently, is an actual letter received by the UK Passport Office. You may believe it or not [:D]Dear Sirs,I'm in the process of renewing my passport, and still cannot believe this. How is it that Sky Television has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a bleeding satellite dish from them back in 1987, and yet, the Government is still asking me where I was bloody born and on what date.For Christ sakes, do you guys do this by hand? My birth date you have on my pension book, and it is on all the income tax forms I've filed for the past 30 years. It is on my National Health card, my driving license, my car insurance, on the last six damn passports I've had, on all those stupid customs declaration forms I've had to fill out before being allowed off the plane over the last 30 years, and all those insufferable census forms.Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Mary Anne, my father's name is Robert and I'd be absolutely bloody astounded if that ever changed between now and when I die!!!!!!I apologise, I'm really pissed off this morning. Between you an' me, I've had enough of this bullshit! You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my bloody address!!!!What is going on? Do you have a gang of Neanderthal a***holes working there? Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I don't want to dig up Yasser Arafat, for fuck sakes. I just want to go and park my arse on some sandy beach somewhere. And would someone please tell me, why would you give a shit whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? If I ever got the urge to do something weird to a chicken or a goat, believe you me, you'd be the last bloody people I'd want to tell!Well, I have to go now, 'cause I have to go to the other end of the poxy city to get another bloody copy of my birth certificate, to the tune of £30. Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot to assist in the issuance of a new passport the same day?? Nooooooooooooo, that'd be too damn easy and maybe make sense. You'd rather have us running all over the bloody place like chickens with our heads cut off, then have to find some a***hole to confirm that it's really me on the damn picture - you know, the one where we're not allowed to smile?! (bureaucratic bloody morons) Hey, do you know why we couldn't smile if we wanted to? Because we're totally pissed off!SignedAn Irate Citizen.P.S. Remember what I said above about the picture and getting someone to confirm that it's me? Well, my family has been in this country since 1776 .......... I have served in the military for something over 30 years and have had full security clearances over 25 of those years enabling me to undertake highly secretive missions all over the world. ......... However, I have to get someone 'important' to verify who I am - you know, someone like my doctor - WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN F***ING PAKISTAN !Sincerely, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyinfrance Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 An elderly couple, who were both widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time. Urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally time to get married. Before the wedding they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements, and so on. Finally, the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship. 'How do you feel about sex?' he asked, rather tentatively- 'I would like it infrequently' she replied. The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, adjusted his glasses and leaned over towards her and whispered 'Is that one word or two?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Olive Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 A police motorcycle officer stops a driver for shooting through a red light.The driver is a real bar steward, steps out of his car and comes striding toward the officer, demanding to know why he is being harassed by the Gestapo!So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation. The motorist instantly goes on a tirade, questioning the officer's ancestry, sexual orientation, etc., in rather explicit offensive terms.The tirade goes on without the officer saying a dickybird.When the officer finishes writing the ticket he puts an "AH" in the lower right corner of the narrative portion of the ticket. He then hands it to the 'violator' for his signature.The bloke signs the ticket angrily, and when presented with his copy points to the "AH" and demands to know what it stands for.The officer says, "That's so when we go to court, I'll remember that you're an arsehole."Two months later they're in court. The 'violator' has a bad driving record and he has a heap of points and is in danger of losing his licence, so he hired a barrister to represent him.On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run through the red light.Under cross examination the barrister for the defence asks;"Officer is this a reasonable facsimile of the ticket that you issued to my client?"The police officer replies: "Yes, sir, that is the defendant's copy, his signature and mine, same number at the top."Barrister: "Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this ticket you don't normally make?""Yes, sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an "AH," underlined.""What does the "AH" stand for, officer?""Aggressive and hostile, Sir.""Aggressive and hostile?""Yes, Sir.ā"Officer, are you sure it doesn't stand for arsehole?"āWell, sir, you know your client better than I do.ā ~~~~ How often can one get a lawyer to convict his own client~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Zoff Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Paddy is making his way home, rather the worse for wear.He staggers into the local church and goes into the confessional box. The priest hears him enter and gives a polite cough to let Paddy know he is ready to hear his confession. But the only sound that comes from Paddy is a loud fart.The priest is none too pleased but bites his tongue, holds his nose, and waits for Paddy to speak.Still nothing but the occasional fart.The priest is now really quite annoyed and bangs on the wall to prompt Paddy to begin his confession."It's no use with the banging", responds Paddy finally. "There's no paper on this side either." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan1971 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The grandkids went to visit their grandparents one night. There was grandpa sitting on the front porch in his easy chair with no pants on. Kids said, "Grandpa, what is wrong? You are sitting here naked from the waist down." Grandpa said nothing, just turned his head in another direction. "Grandpa," kids tried again, "why are you sitting there with no pants on?" Grandpa turned to face the kids. Slowly he explained, "Last week, I sat on the porch right here in this same chair with no shirt on. Sat for about an hour. Got a stiff neck....this was your grandma's idea."
