An English teacher wrote these words on the whiteboard: "woman without her man is nothing". The teacher then asked the students to punctuate the words correctly.

The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."

The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."

--------------------------------

The woman was in bed with her lover and had just told him how stupid her Irish husband was when the door was thrown open and there stood her husband. He glared at her lover and bellowed, "What are you doing?" "There," said the wife, "didn't I tell you he was stupid?"

What's the definition of a pessimist? A pessimist is a well-informed optimist.

Mark called in to see his friend Angus (a Scotman) to find he was stripping the wallpaper from the walls. Rather obviously, he remarked "You're decorating, I see." to which Angus replied "No. I'm moving house."

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints, and were stuck in the thick head. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer, and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer, and started yelling, "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT YOU BAS**RD!!!!"

A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience was different each week so he did same tricks over and over. The problem was, the captain's parrot saw all the shows and began to understand how the magician did every trick.

He started shouting in the middle of the show: 'Look, it's not the same hat. Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table. Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?' The magician was furious but, as it was the captain's parrot, he could do nothing.

Then one day the ship sank and the magician found himself floating on a piece of wood with the parrot. They glared at each other but said nothing.

Finally, after a week, the parrot said: 'OK, I give up. Where's the boat?'

Marvellous! How do I copy to sil?

Elegran Tue 23-Jul-13 09:18:37

Highlight the link, Galen Then, if you use a mouse, right click on it over the link and select copy. Then start an email, put the cursor over the message bit, and right click and paste.

Elegran Tue 23-Jul-13 09:20:07

If you don't use a mouse I dunno. Do whatever your device tells you to copy and paste.

Granny23 Tue 23-Jul-13 09:22:37

Am now stuck with 'Inside, Outside, USA' running through my head constantly. Hope no one else gets similarly afflicted. blush

whenim64 Tue 23-Jul-13 09:50:08

On iPad, in Safari, highlight the link in the bar at the top, and you'll get a choice to select all, then copy. In the body of your email, press your finger on the space where you want to put the link, then touch paste, and it will appear.

That's amazing Granny23, dogs are great fun! I've copied it too! grin

There were these three girls who were getting married and they all met at the
marriage counsellor’s office to discuss the options of having or not
having a baby right away.
They were two city girls and one farm girl. The counsellor asked them if
they planned on having a baby right away or were going to wait awhile.

They all said that they had discussed this with their potential
husbands and had all agreed to wait awhile. Well, the counsellor asked the
first girl what type of birth control she planned to use. Her answer
was, “The rhythm method”. “That will work,” said the counsellor, “but only if
you keep a good record.”

He asked the second girl what system she planned on using. “I plan on
using birth control pills” she said. Again he said, “Yes that will

work as long as you don 't forget to take them”.

He then asked the farm girl what system she was planning on using. Her
answer was, “The bucket and saucer method.” After a short delay, he
told her that should also work. He asked them all to come back in one
year on a specific date for a follow up on how things were going.

They all met again one year later and the two city girls were pregnant.
Only the farm girl was still slim and trim. Well, the counsellor asked the
first girl what method she used and what went wrong. She replied, “I
used the rhythm method but somehow got my notes mixed up and, well
here I am, going to have a baby.”'

He asked the second city girl what method she used and she replied, “The birth control pill . But we were camping one weekend and I didn't
have my pills with me and as you can see, I too am going to have a baby.”

He turns to the farm girl. “I vaguely remember you were going to use
the bucket and saucer method. Now I must admit that I don 't have a clue
what the bucket and saucer method is. Will you explain it to me as I see
it has worked well for you.”

She replied, “Well, we always make love standing up, and since I am quite a
bit taller than my husband, he stands on a bucket turned upside down.
Now as we are making love, I watch his eyes, and when his eyes get as
big as saucers ....

I kick the bucket out from under him”.

one night a teenage girl brought her new boyfriend home to meet her parents.

They were appalled by his appearance: leather jacket, motorcycle boots, tattoos and pierced nose.

Later, the parents pulled their daughter aside and confessed their concern.

"Dear," said the mother diplomatically, "he doesn't seem very nice."

"Oh please, Mom," replied the daughter,

"If he wasn't nice, why would he be doing 500 hours of community service?"

Not sure if this has been posted before. It's just shown up on Facebook and made me laugh.

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while the exchanges were taking place.

I still find them hilarious, Carol, so it doesn't matter if we have had them before!
In fact, I am thinking of recycling my first 1,000 jokes because I am sure most of us will have forgotten them!

Little Johnny went to his kindergarten teacher and said,"Miss I have found a dead frog outside.
Teacher said,"how do you know it is dead?"
He said,"I pissed in it's ear Miss"
"You did what?"said teacher.
"You know,I went to it's ear and said !PSST! and it didn't move,so it must be dead."

Sort of a joke..made me smile...

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY - (a husband's point of view) - By Pam Ayres

The missus bought a Paperback,
down Shepton Mallet way,
I had a look inside her bag;
... T'was "Fifty Shades of Grey".
Well I just left her to it,
And at ten I went to bed.
An hour later she appeared;
The sight filled me with dread...
In her left she held a rope;
And in her right a whip!
She threw them down upon the floor,
And then began to strip.
Well fifty years or so ago;
I might have had a peek;
But Mabel hasn't weathered well;
She's eighty four next week!!
Watching Mabel bump and grind;
Could not have been much grimmer.
And things then went from bad to worse;
She toppled off her Zimmer!
She struggled back upon her feet;
A couple minutes later;
She put her teeth back in and said
I am a dominater !!
Now if you knew our Mabel,
You'd see just why I spluttered,
I'd spent two months in traction
For the last complaint I'd uttered.
She stood there nude and naked
Bent forward just a bit
I went to hold her, sensual like
and stood on her left tit!
Mabel screamed, her teeth shot out;
My god what had I done!?
She moaned and groaned then shouted out:
"Step on the other one"!!
Well readers, I can't tell no more;
About what occurred that day.
Suffice to say my jet black hair,
Turned fifty shades of grey

KatyK Wed 14-Aug-13 18:28:05

I love that nanaej!

I stopped posting jokes because it was getting harder to find any that would offend nobody - some were sexist (mainly blonde jokes), some were racist, etc.
Thank you for the last bunch - I found them very funny. I will start looking at various sites again and see if I can find some that won't get me shot down in flames!

My mate called me last night.

He said, "My dog had nine puppies 12 weeks ago and now apparently they are worth £600 each."

"Bloody hell, mate," I said. "Drinks are on you then!"

He said, "I'm not selling them."

"Why not?" I asked.

"Well," he said, "if they're worth £600 each now, can you imagine what they'll be worth in 10 years?"
