Subject: First joke thread for 2007 From: Wilfried Schaum Date: 05 Jan 07 - 09:49 AM Click for the 'PermaThread™: List of all joke threads'This wife awakens shortly after midnight, and doesn't find her husband in bed at her side. When looking for him in the house she hears sobbing and crying out of the sitting room. She finds her husband there, clutching half an empty bottle of whiskey and shedding tears galore. "What annoys you, my dear?" she asks. "Do you remember how your father trapped us together when you were just sixteen years old?" "Oh yes, dear, I still do." "And how he let me choose: either it is marriage or a sentence for 20 years?" "But that was so long ago! What is the problem now?" "TODAY I'D BE FREE!" |

Subject: RE: First joke thread for 2007 From: Cluin Date: 05 Jan 07 - 07:14 PM On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucket full of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy. A couple of them dropped and rolled down toward the fence. Meanwhile, another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me." He thought he knew just what was going on over the fence. He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along. "Come with me quickly, sir," said the boy, "you won't believe what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls." "Beat it kid!" the geezer waved him off. "Can't you see it's hard for me to walk?" The boy insisted, though, and finally persevered in getting the old man to hobble slowly over to the cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me.." The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been telling me the truth! Now let's see if we can get a good look at the Lord." Quaking with trepidation, they peered through a gap in the fence, but were still unable to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the boards of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to see inside the cemetary. Then they heard, "One for you, one for me. That's all. Now let's go get those two nuts by the fence and we'll be done." They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes ahead of the kid on the bike. |

Subject: RE: First joke thread for 2007 From: GUEST,decky 1 Date: 07 Jan 07 - 07:21 AM There was this family that lived out in the middle of no-where, in a log Cabin in America. They had one son and his name was Joe, some mornings Joe would go out-side to the big barrel of water to shave, you see they didn't have a mirror so Joe would look into the barrel and see his reflection and that's how he shaved and washed. Well one day Joe said to his parents that he would like to go and explorer America. His parents were heart broken that he was leaving home, so Joe got his bags packed and said goodbye to his parents. A week later he arrived in New York, as he was walking down the street he seen a "Bed & Break-fast", he went to the door and rung the bell an elderly woman came to the door, Joe said hello, have you any rooms to Let, and the elderly woman said yes come in. An hour later when Joe was settled in, he went to the bathroom, as he was going he spied a mirror on the wall, and said Jesus! It's a photograph of me-self, so quickly he took the Mirror and put it into an envelope along with a letter he wrote and posted it to his parents. When his parents received the envelope the father opened it up and took out the letter to read it. Joe wrote, having a great time, but still missing home. The funny thing is I found a photograph of me-self in the place were I' am staying, I have sent it with the letter, Your son Joe. His father took out the Mirror from the envelope and looked into it, he then shouted for his wife. He said, Mary come and see how old our Joe has got, his wife came in and the both of them looked into Mirror, and Mary says, not a bit wonder with old bitch he's going about with. |

One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs; 5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb; 6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner: Light Bulb Change Accomplished; 7. One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally in the dark; 8. One to viciously smear #7; 9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along; 10.

Subject: RE: First joke thread for 2007 From: freda underhill Date: 07 Jan 07 - 09:16 AM Earlier this week in Washington, funeral services were held for former President Gerald Ford and all the living presidents were there. That doesn't happen often. They all got together. President Carter called Ford a wonderful man. Bill Clinton called Ford a true American.

Subject: RE: First joke thread for 2007 From: freda underhill Date: 07 Jan 07 - 09:27 AM Bush, Einstein and Picasso at the Pearly Gates Einstein dies and goes to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter tells him, "You look like Einstein, but you have NO idea the lengths that some people will go to sneak into Heaven. Can you prove who you really are?" Einstein ponders for a few seconds and asks, "Could I have a blackboard and some chalk?" Saint Peter snaps his fingers and a blackboard and chalk instantly appear. Einstein proceeds to describe with arcane mathematics and symbols his theory of relativity. Saint Peter is suitably impressed. "You really ARE Einstein!" he says. "Welcome to heaven!" The next to arrive is Picasso. Once again, Saint Peter asks for credentials. Picasso asks, "Mind if I use that blackboard and chalk?" Saint Peter says, "Go ahead." Picasso erases Einstein's equations and sketches a truly stunning mural with just a few strokes of chalk. Saint Peter claps. "Surely you are the great artist you claim to be!" he says. "Come on in!" Then Saint Peter looks up and sees George W. Bush. Saint Peter scratches his head and says, "Einstein and Picasso both managed to prove their identity. How can you prove yours?" George W. looks bewildered and says, "Who are Einstein and Picasso?" Saint Peter sighs and says, "Come on in, George." |
Subject: RE: First joke thread for 2007 From: freda underhill Date: 07 Jan 07 - 09:30 AM Famous Last Words Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and George W. Bush were set to face a firing squad in a small Central American country. Bill Clinton was the first one placed against the wall and just before the order was given he yelled out, "Earthquake!" The firing squad fell into a panic and Bill jumped over the wall and escaped in the confusion. Al Gore was the second one placed against the wall. The squad was reassembled and Al pondered what he had just witnessed. Again before the order was given Al yelled out, "Tornado!" Again the squad fell apart and Al slipped over the wall. The last person, George W. Bush, was placed against the wall. He was thinking, "I see the pattern here, just scream out something about a disaster and hop over the wall." He confidently refused the blindfold as the firing squad was reassembled. As the rifles were raised in his direction he grinned from ear to ear and yelled, "Fire!" |

News: an elephant was reported doing a ton on the M6 Midland Expressway today. Motorists are advised to approach with caution and treat it as a roundabout until it can be cleared up. Meanwhile, on the M1 a truckload of strawberries collided with a tanker full of fresh cream. A police spokesman on the spot said: "Delicious!" More traffic news: a truckload of wigs crashed on the M4 earlier in mysterious circumstances today. Police are combing the area for clues. And a thief stole the toilets from the Bedford police station last night. Police say they have nothing to go on. Finally, a large hole appeared in London's Oxford Street today. Police are looking into it. And I regret to say there's more where they came from! :-D Now, I'll get me coat before someone gets it for me. |

Subject: RE: First joke thread for 2007 From: eddie1 Date: 13 Jan 07 - 08:43 AM Supposedly not a joke but something which actually happened. No offence to Mudcatters on the Western edge of the pond intended. The following is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation that took place in Oct 1995, between a US Navy ship off the coast of England, and some British authority. The transcript was released by the MoD. Brits: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision. Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid collision. Brits: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision. Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. Brits: Negative. I say again, YOU will have to divert your course. Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. Brits: We are a lighthouse, F*** off. Eddie |
