Interview with the economist billionaires fear: this is how we get a wealth tax
A man with a winking problem is applying for a position as a sales representative for a large firm. The interviewer looks over his papers and says, "This is phenomenal. You've graduated from the best schools; your recommendations are wonderful, and your experience is unparalleled - normally, we'd hire you without a second thought. However, a sales representative has a highly visible position, and we're afraid that your constant winking will scare off potential customers. I'm sorry.... we can't hire you."
"But wait," the man says. "If I take two aspirin, I'll stop winking!"
"Really? Great! Show me!"
So the applicant reaches into his jacket pocket and begins pulling out all sorts of condoms: red condoms, blue condoms, ribbed condoms, flavoured condoms; finally, at the bottom, he finds a packet of aspirin. He tears it open, swallows the pills, and stops winking.
"Well," said the interviewer, "that's all well and good, but this is a respectable company, and we will not have our employees womanising all over the country!"
"Womanising? What do you mean? I'm a happily married man!"
"Well then, how do you explain all these condoms?"
"Oh, that," he sighed. "Have you ever walked into a pharmacy, winking, and asked for aspirin?"
greatnan, the french jokes made me cry...
This is too funny to be dirty - enjoy!
The husband leans over and asks his wife, 'Do you remember the first time we made love over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.'
'Yes', she sighed, 'I remember it well.'
'OK,' he says. 'How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?'
'Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds crazy, but why not?'
A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, thinks, I've got to see these old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll keep an eye on them so there's no trouble. So he follows them.
The devoted couple walk haltingly, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally they make their way to the fence at the back of the tavern. The skirt is lifted and trousers dropped. Then, suddenly, they erupt into the most furious sex the policeman has ever seen.
This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.
The policeman is amazed. He thinks that he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.
After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the couple struggle to their feet and adjust their clothing.
The policeman is baffled and wishes to discover the answer to what he has witnessed.
As the couple pass, he says to them,
'Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've enjoyed a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?'
Shaking, the old man was barely able to reply...
'Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence!!!


sook!
Sorry, I meant SOOP

60 YEARS OF NHS!!
Lady rings her local hospital and this conversation follows: 'Hello I'd
like some information on a patient, Mrs Tiptree. She was admitted last week with chest pains and I just want to know if her condition has deteriorated, stabilised or improved?"
''Do you know which ward she is in?"
''Yes, ward P, room 2B"
''I'll just put you through to the nurse station".
''Hello, ward P, how can I help?"
''I would just like some information on a patient, Mrs Tiptree, I was wondering if her condition had deteriorated, stabilised or improved?"
''I'll just check her notes. I'm pleased to say that MrsTiptree's conditioned has improved. She has regained her appetite, her temperature has steadied and after some routine checks tonight, she should be well enough to go home tomorrow".
''Oh that's wonderful news, I'm so happy, thank you ever so
much!"
''You seem very relieved, are you a close friend or relative?"
''No, I'm Mrs Tiptree in room 2b. Nobody tells you f**k all in
here..."

Greatnan ...
A classic...
Except that in real life they wouldn't give out any information to Mrs Tiptree, as she is not a close relative of herself....
Yes, Anagram, it is a joke!!!!
Yes, Greatnan, I realised that! My comment was tongue-in-cheek.....

Gussets?
And especially gussets!
Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their
days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop.
We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
We went up to him and said, 'Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'
He ignored us and continued writing the ticket.
I called him a Nazi turd. He glared at me and started writing another
ticket for having worn tyres.
So my wife called him a shit-head.
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windscreen with the first.
Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes.
The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus.
We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's
important at our age.
Love that Greatnan 
A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:
" Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty.. You're crazy to go to Rome . So, how are you getting there?"
"We're taking BA," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"BA?" exclaimed the hairdresser." That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?"
"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome 's Tiber River called Teste."
"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant.
Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome
"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of BA's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.
And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a £5 million remodelling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I bet you didn't get to see the Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."
"Oh, really! What'd he say ?"
He said: "Who the F**k did your hair?"
