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!!!!"

Marriage is like a game of cards ......

In the beginning, all you need are two hearts and a diamond ........

....... by the end you wish you had a club and a spade!

I remember my wedding day as though it were yesterday... I wish it was tomorrow - I'd cancel it!

I should have been warned - when she came down the aisle the organist didn't play the Wedding March - no, he played 'Here We Are Again'... not to mention the fact that she had a drip-dry wedding dress...

But oh, how I loved her - that cute nose,the way it turned up at the end - then down... and then sideways... Mind you she had a strange figure for a woman - or a man... or a horse...

You have just reminded me it's my wedding anniversary today! I had completely forgotten, and I'm sure OH will have. Ah well, it was a long time ago, no big deal...... (Sorry, OT, will go away and do something else)......

When I was breaking up from work to get married in the 60s, someone wrote on my good luck card 'it starts when you sink into his arms and ends with
your arms in the sink'.

This is not really a joke , just something I found amusing which I thought I would share.

10 Tell tale signs it is Bank Holiday.
1] The shops are busier than ever - except the bank and the post office which are the ones you really need [they are shut]
2]Unfamiliar facers read the television news. {The usual ones have taken the day off - probably to go shopping.
3]Make a point of looking at the traffic. Most cars left the City the Friday night, but you are sure to see one family gathered at the side of the road for the traditional Bank Holiday pastime of Watching the AA man trying to fix the car . You will also notice that the streets are full of buses on rail replacement services . Many of them are lost.
4]All the local children have painted faces with cats whiskers . This because there is a fair {or Fayre} in the area. A larger than usual number of escaped balloons overhead in the sky is another clue that it is a Bank Holiday.
5] There is news of a jack-knifed lorry on a Motorway somewhere.

6] The outbreak of hedge-trimming reaches epic proportions.
7]Call Centres answer after 248 rings instead of the usual 232, while at British Gas , it is a particulary time.
8] Outside petrol stations, the piles of sacks of Barbeque fuel are 4ft higher than normal.
9]You notice people are panic buying milk
10]In the brief moment of silence between the chimes of the ice-cream vans, listen carefully and you may just hear the distant tinkle of a Morris dancer.

I met a man who asked me 'Would you like to see a blue film?'
When I said 'yes', he poured paraffin all over my glasses...

Inner Peace
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones
are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,


Then You Are Probably
The Family Dog!

QUICKIE

One day George W. Bush and Dick Cheney walk into a diner. A waitress walks up to them and asks if she can take their order. Bush leans close to her and says, "Honey, can I have a quickie?"

The waitress is appalled and yells at the President about women's rights and storms away.

Cheney then says to Bush, "George, its pronounced 'quiche'."

Four worms and a lesson to be learned!

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol . . . Dead
The second worm in cigarette smoke . . . Dead .
Third worm in chocolate syrup. . . Dead.
Fourth worm in good clean soil . . .Alive
So the Minister asked the congregation,
"What did you learn from this demonstration?"

Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said . . .
"As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate,
You won't have worms!"
That pretty much ended the service!

An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any recent interest in his paintings which happened to be on display. "I have good news and bad news" the gallery owner replied. "The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death." "What did you say?" questioned the artist. "When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings." "That's wonderful!" the artist exclaimed. "What's the bad news?" "The gentleman was your doctor."

I was visiting a religious order which was vowed to silence, and invited to partake of their evening meal with them. The Abbot told me that, after the meal they liked to hear jokes, but because of their vow of silence each joke had a number which he would call out instead of actually telling the joke, and as I was a visitor would I like to think of a number and call it out. So,I called out 'number 43', at which point everyone burst out laughing for minutes on end, on and on it went, and when I asked why the Abbot said "it's because they haven't heard that one before"

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.

I had a quick whizz through and couldn't see this one on here - so, Greatnan, I hope you would have liked it. flowers

On a transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm.

The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when
one wing is struck by lightning.

One woman, in particular, loses it. Screaming, she stands up in
the front of the plane.

'I'm too young to die,' she wails.

Then she yells, 'If I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on
earth to be memorable!

Is there anyone on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?'

For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril.

They all stare, eyes riveted, at this desperate woman in the
front of the plane.

Then a Jackeroo from Australia stands up in the rear of the plane.

He is handsome, well built, with dark brown hair and blue eyes.

He starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt,
one button at a time.

No one moves. He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest.

She gasps.

He whispers . .

Here, iron this. Then get me a beer'.
