A Joke! Remember them? ,
Relax! Not demeaning to Ladies nor even Women! grin

Scotland’s First Minister was visiting an Edinburgh hospital and enters a ward full of patients with no sign of illness or injury and greets one.
The patient replies;
“Tae fair your honest sonsie face,
Great chieftain of the puddin race,
Aboon them a’ you take your place,
Painch, tripe or thairm,
As lang’s my airm”

The Minister is confused and moves on to the next patient and says hello..
The patient responds:
“Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
So let the Lord be thankit”

Even more confused, the Minister moves on to the next patient who immediately begins to chant;
“We sleekit, cowerin, timorous beasty
Thou needna start awa sae hastie,
Wi’ bickerin brattle”

The Minister turns to the accompanying doctor and asks
“What kind of facility is this? A mental ward?
“No” replies the doctor, the serious BURNS unit” - `

Surely dogless in this case? confused
The Doug/Douglas jokes I heard in the past all included a spade, rather than a dog.

Rufus Cher didn't sing 'Whats it all about Alfie', it was Cilla.

What happens if you give viagra to a politician ? He gets taller.

Katie59 Sun 23-May-21 09:18:48

Friend told me her man took viagra last week but it got stuck in his throat.
All he got was a stiff neck

Fanny C Now why would a Glasgie Scot take a spade out on a lead, and then lose it!? hmm

We are both correct.
My informants tell me that Cher sang "Alfie" over the closing credits of the film.
Cilla made it her own later as did many others, as I indicated.
Whomsoever sang it, I still reckon it's a rhetorical question!
I stand by ready to be corrected by any of our linguistic experts!. grin

Rufus re Cher. That is so odd. What a straight choice. And it doesn't sound like her

FannyCornforth Sun 23-May-21 11:50:01

Strange, not straight, for heaven's sake!

FarNorth Sun 23-May-21 12:11:53

No-one says 'Glasgie' , by the way, but good point about the spade, Rufus.

Rufus2 Sun 23-May-21 14:46:50

No-one says 'Glasgie' , by the way
FarNorth Apart from me you mean!? hmm
I learned it that way years ago from watching Taggart on TV and just lately we've been receiving confirmation through a series of Neil Oliver, Susan Calvan and others.
But! I promise to do better next time! grin
Good Health

Aveline Sun 23-May-21 18:51:21

It's 'Glesga' if you have to say it in a Glasgow accent which most people don't.

Rufus2 Mon 24-May-21 13:19:37

No-one says 'Glasgie' , by the way, but good point about the spade,
FarNorth I'll be able to tell you if you're right next week 'cos Susan Calman will be visiting Glasgie next week as part of her "Secret Scotland" series. smile
Tonight she was in your territory, far North Scotland, John O'Groats and all that!
Lovely scenery, no snow, but she made it look cold judging by the gear she was wearing.
Btw; I always thought you all called a spade a bloody shovel!? grin

I got a message the other day that said:
'There really is no problem with self-isolating. But how come one of my bags of rice contains 6,729 grains and the other has 6,731?'

Barry Cryer's Favourite Willie Rushton Joke

'What is the difference between erotic and kinky?

Erotic is taking a single feather and doing something lingering and sensual and beautiful to your partner

. Kinky is using the whole chicken.

Now that your awful weather has gone it might be a good time to resurrect a joke involving rain which might bring back those smiles!

A lady talking to her friend;
" I think my husband is depressed;
it hasn't stopped raining for three days and all he's done is stare through the window.
If it doesn't stop raining tomorrow, I suppose I'll have to let him in!"

A true story that made me smile. Mrs Anxiao is a veterinarian, and often comes home with funny stories but this was the most recent.

A client asked that she not shave around the neck area of her immaculately groomed dog to take a blood sample. Mrs A said no problem we can take it from a less visible area, but why in particular for this dog? "Because he's getting married next week and it will not look good on the photos." Luckily wearing a mask and so able to keep a straight face, she said "Oh thats' nice" with other pleasantries.

"Not really, he has to, he made his girlfriend pregnant."

A lady walks into a sex shop and says "I'd like to purchase a vibrator"
Certainly madam!" says the salesman!
You'll find them all on display on the wall over there. Please make your selection.
She returns a few minutes later and says, "I'll take the red one"
Salesman says, "I'm afraid you can't do that Madam;; that's our fire extinguisher!

I reckon now is an appropriate time, especially this week in Melbourne, to revisit this; thanks Mini.
Piss not pics.

Just heard a Doctor on TV saying that during this period of isolation while staying at home we should focus on inner peace. To achieve this we should always finish things we start, and we could all use more calm in our lives.
I looked through my house to find things I'd started and hadn't finished, so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bottle of Baileys , a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiumum srciptums an a box of chocletz.
Yu haf no idr how feckin fablus I feel rite now.

The teacher gave an assignment to her fifth grade class :
Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
The next day, the kids came back and, one by one, began to tell their stories.
There were all the regular types of stuff: spilled milk and pennies saved.
But then the teacher realized that only Janie was left.
"Janie, do you have a story to share?'
''Yes ma'am. My daddy told me a story about my Mummy. She was a Marine pilot in Desert Storm, and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a flask of whisky, a pistol, and a survival knife. She drank the whisky on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break, and then her parachute landed her right in the middle of 20 enemy troops.
She shot 15 of them with the pistol, until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last enemy with her bare hands.
''Good Heavens,' said the horrified teacher. 'What did your Daddy tell you was the moral to this horrible story?

"Stay away from Mummy when she's drunk."

Saw this one today and had to share it.....

A bloke was sitting at the side of the road crying his eyes out, his dead hamster in his hands. A fairy godmother asked him what the matter was. He said “I loved my pet hamster and it just died ”. The fairy godmother said “Well I can’t bring it back to life, but I can suggest that you can make some good of the situation”. The bloke asked “How do I do that ?” The fairy godmother replied “Go home put the hamster in a pan and add a bag of sugar. Heat the pan up stirring well and simmer for an hour. Allow to cool, pour it onto your garden and see what happens”. The bloke did exactly as she suggested. The next day, he went into the garden and there were masses of daffodils everywhere! He ran back to the road where he’d seen the fairy godmother and she reappeared and asked the bloke how he’d got on. He said “It’s fantastic, there are daffodils everywhere!” The fairy godmother replied “That’s really strange, you normally get tulips from hamster jam!”??
