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!!!!"

I love that, Grannyknot! grin

Ana so did I but then I panicked and asked GN to delete it, because I realised it is a true story that has gone viral (it was sent to me by email) and I felt uncomfortable to have it on a public forum blush.

Ana Sun 01-Dec-13 21:13:52

Oh! Mind you, if it had already gone viral, I don't suppose it would have made any difference it being on here! grin

Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven.
At the Pearly Gates, they are met by St. Peter. He says, 'Sisters, you all led such exemplary lives
that the Lord is granting you six months to go back to earth and be anyone you wish to be.
The first nun says, "I want to be Sophia Loren" And poof she's gone.

The second says, "I want to be Madonna" and poof she's gone.

The third says, "I want to be Sara Pipalini" St. Peter looks perplexed.
"Who?" he asks. "Sara Pipalini," replies the nun.

St.Peter shakes his head and says, "I'm sorry, but that name just doesn't ring a bell."

The nun then takes a newspaper out of her habit and hands it to St. Peter.
St. Peter reads the paper and starts laughing. He hands it back to her and says...

"No sister, the paper says it was the 'Sahara Pipeline' that was laid by 1,400 men in 6 months."

A blonde city girl, marries a sheep farmer.

One morning, on his way out to check on the sheep, the farmer says to his wife, 'The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our ewes today. I drove a nail into the rail above the ewe's stall in
the barn. You show him where the ewe is when he gets here, OK?'
So then he went off to do some fencing.

After a while, the insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door.

The farmer's wife takes him down to the barn. They walk along the row of sheep and when she sees the nail, she tells him 'This is the
one...right here.'

Terribly impressed by what he seemed to think just might be another dizzy blonde, the man asks, 'Tell me lady, how did you know this is the ewe to be inseminated?'

'That's simple; by the nail over its stall', she explains very confidently.

Then the man asks, 'What's the nail for?'

She turns and starts to walk away and with complete confidence, says over her shoulder ......









'I assume it's to hang your trousers on.'

Pun jokes:

I had every record Dusty Springfield ever released, I sold them all, now I just don't know what to do with my shelf.

My brother went to Cuba so I asked him to get me a gift. He knows I smoke, but bought me a Che Guevara T-shirt. Clothes, but no cigar.

Oh no! I duffed the one joke's punch line! (Just like I do in real life!)

That should be "I can't let you in without a Thai.

And finally, this from Stephen Fry:

"It's very common nowadays to hear people say 'I'm rather offended by that'. As if that gives them certain rights. Actually, it's nothing more than - it's simply a whine. It's no more than that. "I find that offensive" has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase.

The difference between Officers and SNCOs

A young Army officer was severely wounded in the head by a grenade, but the only visible, permanent injury was that both of his ears were amputated.

Since his remaining hearing was sufficient, he remained in the Army.

Many years later he eventually rose to the rank of Major General. He was, however, very sensitive about his appearance. One day the General was interviewing three servicemen who were candidates for his headquarters staff.

The first was a Captain, a tactical helicopter pilot, and it was a great interview. At the end of the interview the General asked him, 'Do you notice anything different about me?'

The young officer answered, 'Why, yes, Sir, I couldn't help but notice that you have no ears.'

The general was displeased with his lack of tact and threw him out.

The second interview was with a Navy Lieutenant, and he was even better. The General then asked him the same question,

'Do you notice anything different about me?' He replied sheepishly,

'Well, sir, you have no ears.' The General threw him out also.

The third interview was with an old Sergeant Major, an Infantryman and staff-trained NCO. He was smart, articulate, fit, looked sharp, and seemed to know more than the two officers combined.

The General liked this guy, and went ahead with the same question, 'Do you notice anything different about me?' To his surprise the Sergeant Major said,

'Yes, sir, you wear contact lenses.'

The General was very impressed and thought, 'What an incredibly observant NCO, and he didn't mention my ears.' He asked, 'Sergeant Major, how do you know I wear contacts?'

'Well, sir,' the soldier replied, 'it's pretty hard to wear glasses with no f*****g ears.'

Three soldiers attended sick parade and sat in a row, waiting to be called to explain their ailments to the MO.

First one is called, stands to attention before MO at desk, and recounts his symptoms. A little too much of the company of the ladies of the town, and he has a little problem. MO prescribes -"Five minutes with the wire brush each morning for a week, and excused potato peeling" and as he has a Troops Welfare form to fill in, asks soldier what is his greatest ambition. "To get better fast and return to doing my duty. Sah!"

Next patient is called. He has terrible trouble with his piles. Prescription - "Five minutes each morning with the wire brush, and excused route marches" His greatest ambition? "To get better fast and return to doing my duty. Sah!"

Third patient has a temperature and a sore throat. Prescription - "Five minutes each morning with the wire brush, and excused sentry duty " His greatest ambition "To be first with the wire brush. Sah!"
