Hi all, this one I have dug out from the archives.
hope you like it
Roy

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful old poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.

One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, 'Cuddles' discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!

Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says.

"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!

Moral of the story..?
Don't mess with old farts...Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! B......t and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Roy, this reminds me on another story:

Once there was this mouse, walking over the meadow where some cows pasture. One of them lifted her tail and a big pile was falling down. It landed on the mouse and she was digged, just the tip of her tail was looking out- and she started shouting for help.
A cat was walking over the meadow, hearing the shouts and found the mouse. She pulled her out, cleaned and devoured her.
And the moral of this story?


Not everybody, who drives you into mud  is your enemy.
Not everybody, who helps you out of the mud is your friend.
But when you are in deep mud , draw in your tail and shut up!

(MUD WAS TAKEN TO AVOYD THE "WORD-NOT-ALLOWED")  ;D

On the subject of offending everyone.....

The British Isles consists of four nationalities:

The Irish - who don't know what they want, but will fight anybody for it

The Scots - who keep the Sabbath, and anything else they can get their hands on

The Welsh - who pray on their knees and on their neighbours

And the English -  who consider themselves self-made men......thus relieving the Almighty of a terrible responsibility!

Give this lady 3 cheers

A SENIOR MOMENT - I HOPE I HAVE THEM LIKE THIS........... A 98 year

old woman wrote this to her bank. The bank manager thought it amusing

enough to have it published in the Times.

 

 

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three 'nanoseconds' must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honour it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my Pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account £30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.  My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways.

          I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.  From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan payments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank by cheque, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.  Be aware that it is an offence under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact Status which I require your chosen employee to complete.  I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Solicitor, and the mandatory details of his/ her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof.

In due course, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which

he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modelled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Let me level the playing field even further. When you call me, press buttons as follows:

 

1--       To make an appointment to see me.

2--       To query a missing payment.

3--       To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.

4--       To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.

5--       To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.

6--       To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.

7--       To leave a message on my computer (a password to access my

Computer is required. A password will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorized Contact.)

8--       To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 8

9--       To make a general complaint or inquiry, the contact will then be put

on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.

 

Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.

May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous, New Year.

 

Your Humble Client

 

 

 

 

Remember: This was written by a 98 year old woman;

DOESN'T SHE MAKE YOU PROUD?

With thanks to whoever first posted this, wherever I was looking


Shopping
 
Proof of what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or boyfriend along shopping

This letter was recently sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in Oxford:

Dear Mrs. Murray,

While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.

Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras:

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to
feminine products aisle.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, "Code 3" in housewares..... and watched what happened.

5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove.

7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

8. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a
mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.

9. November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.

10. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.

11. December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the "Madonna look" using different size funnels.

12. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"

>13. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed "NO! NO! It's those voices again."

And; last, but not least:

14. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here."

Yours
sincerely,


Charles Brown
Store Manager

I see I've finally reached the dizzy heights, so here's an "Admiral" joke

A Chief Petty Officer and an Admiral were sitting in adjacent barbers chairs. The barbers finished their haircuts at about the same time and prepared to give them a squirt with the highly-scented spray.

The admiral shouted, "Hey, don't put that stuff on me! My wife will think I've been in a whorehouse!"

The chief turned to his barber and said, "Go ahead and put it on. My wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like."

.... Rick, this reminds me on a saying we have had due to my Military service, when I graduated as a staff-sergeant.
We have to go for training in a German city, called "Iserlohn".
Iserlohn is known as the city with the most illegitimate children:"Never beat a child in Iserlohn- it could be yours...."

Wombat,

This quote (or variations on it) is attributed to many people, including:

“A self-made man? Yes, and one who worships his creator.” - William Cowper (who died in a house in our town)

"He is a self-made man and worships his creator." - John Bright

"He is a self-made man, very much in love with his creator." - Benjamin Disraeli

Four married guys went to the boating lake. 

After an hour, the following conversation took place:


First guy: "You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out boating this weekend.  I had to promise my wife I will paint every room in the house next weekend."

Second guy: "That's nothing!  I had to promise my wife I'll build her a new deck for the pool."

Third guy: "Man, you both have it easy!  I had to promise my wife that I'll remodel the kitchen for her."

They continued boating, until they realized the fourth guy had not said a word.  So they asked him.  "You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend.

What's the deal?"

Fourth guy: "I just set my alarm for 5:30 am.  When it went off, I shut off the clock, gave the wife a nudge and said,

"Boating or Sex," and she said,


'Wear a sweater'.

This one's courtesy of my son........................

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their
new wives duties to perform.

Terry had married a woman from America, and bragged that he had told his
new wife to do all the dishes and house cleaning in the house. He said it
took a couple of days but on the third day he came home to a clean house
and all the dishes were cleaned and put away.

James had married a woman from Australia and he bragged that he had given
his new wife orders to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. He
told them the first day he didn't see any results, but the next day it was
better and by the third day his house was clean, the dishes done and
there was a huge meal on the table.

Billy said the he had married a Yorkshire lass. He boasted that the
duties he had ordered her to do were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed,
lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table every day. He said
the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see
anything, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he
could see a little bit out of his left eye. Enough to fix himself a bite
to eat, load the dishwasher and call a landscaper.

Cheers,
Ian.

This may not be a joke but it struck me as humorous [especially for Martin and Bradders];

In French "brader" is " to sell off cheaply"! And if you look it up in a French dictionary, just above it is "boycottage".....no, not what you are thinking, naughty, naughty! It means, "boycott".

Glorious language, French and amazingly it has made my schoolboy Latin of 50 + years ago regain value.

Hi all, got a 'sophisticated' joke for you. i.e.  Its non-PC of a sexual nature and may offend a certain nationality and if you are under 16 do not read any further.

regards Roy


German guy approaches a prostitute and says " I vish to buy sex vit you"

"OK" says the girl, "I'll charge 100 dollars an hour"

"Ist goot, But I must varn you, I am a little kinky" "No problem" she
replies cautiously, "I can do a little kinky" So off they go to the
girl's flat, where the German produces four large bedsprings and a duck
caller.

"I vant you to tie ze springs to each of your limbs.."

The girl finds this very strange, but complies, fastening the springs to
her hands and knees.

"Now you vill get on your hans and knees." She duly does this, balancing
on the springs.

"You vill please blow zis vistle as I make love to you." She finds all
this very odd, but figures it's harmless, and the guy is paying.

The sex is fantastic. She is bounced all over the room by the energetic
German, all the time honking on the duck caller. The climax is the most
sensational she has ever experienced, and it is several minutes before
she has recovered her breath. Finally she gasps "That was totally
amazing.......what do you call that?
Wait for it............

Talking of Audi, reminds me -
One for "BigFella"

Bruce has his own farm in the outback but is getting lonely.  He decides that a 'mail order' bride is what he needs, and duly sends off.
They arrange to meet in the city, where they have a quick wedding ceremony and head for the bridal suite at the hotel to celebrate their wedding night.
Once in their rooms his new bride says she is just slipping into the bathroom to get ready. 
While in there she is puzzled by all manner of thuds and scraping noises coming from the lounge.
When she emerges, she sees all the furniture has been stacked up against one wall, so asks Bruce what is going on?

"Well lass, I ain't ever been with a woman afore, but if you're anything like those bl**dy kangaroos,
- I'm going to need all the room I can get!"

How we know God is not a woman.

The earth was without form and void and darkness covered the face of the waters.

God said "Let there be light".

There was light and God saw that it was good.

God did not say "Hmmmm. Can I see the dark again?"

Hi all, just trolling through my files and found this.
It is totally PC you can even tell your daughter this one!
regards Roy

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon.
As she lay her beloved pet on the table, the vet pulled out his
stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.

After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so
sorry, your pet has passed away."

The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?"

Yes, I'm sure. This duck is dead," he replied.

"How can you be so sure," she protested. "I mean, you haven't done any
testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a
few moments later with a black Labrador Retriever.

As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind
legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck
from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook
his head.

The vet patted the dog and took it out and returned a few moments later
with a beautiful cat
The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed the bird from its beak to its tail and back again
The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly, jumped down and strolled
out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is
most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."

Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and
produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.

The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill.

"£150!" she cried. "£150 just to tell me my duck is dead?!"

The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill
would have been £20. But what with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it
all adds up!"

 Some I had sent me because ive just reach 60  rub it in why dont yeah

An elderly gentleman...
had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%
The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again."
The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet.
I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"



Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?"
Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby."
"Really!? Like a newborn baby!?"
"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."



An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly."
The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"
The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?
You know.. The one that's red and has thorns."
"Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"


Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.
On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
"I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."



Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
"Sure."
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks.
"No, I can remember it."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?"
He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?" she asks.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!"
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes,
the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.
"Where's my toast ?"



A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:
"So I hear you're getting married?"
"Yep!"
"Do I know her?"
"Nope!"
"This woman, is she good looking?"
"Not really."
"Is she a good cook?"
"Naw, she can't cook too well."
"Does she have lots of money?"
"Nope! Poor as a church mouse."
"Well, then, is she good in bed?"
"I don't know."
"Why in the world do you want to marry her then?"
"Because she can still drive!"




Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"
Second one says, "No, it's Thursday!"
Third one says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer."



A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect."
"Really," answered the neighbor . "What kind is it?"
"Twelve thirty."



Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"
Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"
The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful."

One more. . .!
 
A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"
"No," he replied, "Arthritis."

Well Ken, isn't that what it's all about?

Anyway - you got the wrong colour bulb and mounted it in the wrong place on the model - and you could have used a LED instead to protect the environment!  ;D ;D
