She saw him and cried out "Frugal me! Frugal me!".. so he killed the dragon and frugaled her, and they lived happily ever after!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2024 From: Georgiansilver Date: 23 Jan 24 - 06:19 AM At the time of The Flood it was decided that the koi Carp deserved their own ark so Noah built one with a few levels allowing the Koi to swim freely up and down. It had to be towed behind the main ark on a very long rope. They needed the protection of their ark but also deserved some freedom so the koi would sometimes go off on a little adventure and when they came back they would tell Noah where they'd been and what they'd done. Noah looked forward to this and day after day there was a new story for him. This was probably the very first multi-storey carp ark. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2024 From: Bill D Date: 11 Jan 24 - 09:04 AM Jack was from a poor family with many siblings. As the eldest child, he took up the responsibility of helping his parents financially by doing odd jobs, be it collecting recyclable scraps, cleaning, babysitting, dog walking or simple repair work. He had no choice but to drop out of high school at the age of 14 to work full time in order for his other siblings to have a chance at higher education. His hard work, dedication and skill with tools led him to be hired by a small local repair shop. There he learnt to repair almost every electric equipment under the sun. The shop owner was so impressed at his ability to learn different trades, that he even sponsored Jack to attend a few courses. However, being a small shop, the owner couldn’t afford to pay him a large salary. Jack was used to being frugal by now and saved whatever money he had to be used for his sibling’s education. His only luxury was eating naan at an Indian restaurant only a monthly basis. Realising that he could save a lot more if he cooked the naan himself, Jack bought himself a hot cast skillet, looked up a few recipes and began cooking. He tried and tried, altering the recipe and cooking method ever so slightly until he finally found the perfect naan recipe. Jack first let his siblings try the naan he cooked, then slowly began selling them to his neighbours. Seeing a market for his naan, he opened up a small store by the road side and sold naan. His naan business flourished. He soon earned enough to send his siblings to university and open up a small shop by himself. There were many blunders and mistakes made when he first managed his own restaurant, but once he got the hang of it, he had enough money to open more and more outlets. He soon had 25 outlets nationwide. His rags to riches story drew the attention of media. When asked on his success, Jack grinned from ear to ear and replied “I’m Jack of all trades, master of naan”. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2024 From: Steve Shaw Date: 06 Jan 24 - 06:35 AM The chief constable was interviewing three candidates for the job of detective. He called the first one in, showed him a photo and said, "This is a photo of a suspect. Look closely and tell me what you make of it." "Well, sir, the man has only the one eye." "You fool! It's a profile photo and you can't see his other eye! Get out!" He called in the next candidate, showed him the photo and asked him the same question. "Well, sir, he's got just the one ear..." "Idiot! There's no way you can tell that from his profile! Get out!" In came the third candidate and he was asked the same question. "Well, sir, this man wears contact lenses." The chief constable pored over the photo and he couldn't see how the chap could have made such an assertion, but he decided to check the suspect's records. He discovered that the suspect did indeed wear contact lenses. "That's quite remarkable," he said to the candidate, "Tell me, how did you work that one out?" "Well, sir, as he's got only one eye and one ear there's no way he could wear ordinary specs..." |
