  • jean genie.................................................?

    A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.

    The husband cringed, 'I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us.'

    So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said, 'Come on in.' When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the pieces of window glass.

    A man reclining on the couch asked,'Are you the people that broke my window?'

    'Uh...yeah! , sir. We're sure sorry about that,' the husband replied.'Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you. You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm allowed

    to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for my self.'

    Wow, that's great!' the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, 'I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life.'

    'No problem,' said the genie 'You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!'

    'And now you, young lady, what do you want?' the genie asked.

    'I'd like to own a gorgeous home complete with servants in every country in the world,' she said. 'Consider it done,' the genie said. 'And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!'

    'And now,' the couple asked in unison, 'what's your wish, genie?'

    'Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle, and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years,my wish is to have sex with your wife.'

    The husband looked at his wife and said, 'Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses, what do you think?'

    She mulled it over for a few moments and said, 'You know, you're right.Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?'

    You know I love you sweetheart,' said the husband. I'd do the same for you!'

    So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable. After about three hours of non-stop

    sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, How old are you and your husband?''Why, we're both 35,' she responded breathlessly.

    'No Kidding,'he said. 'Thirty-five years old and both of you still believe in genies?'

  • knowing when to stay quiet ...........................?

    TWENTY Pounds

    On their wedding night,

    The young bride approached her new husband

    And asked for £20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter.

    In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed.

    This scenario was repeated each time they made love,

    For more than 30 years, with him thinking

    That it was a cute way for her to afford

    New clothes and other incidentals that she needed..

    Arriving home around noon one day,

    She was surprised to find

    Her husband in a very drunken state.

    During the next few minutes,

    He explained that his employer was

    Going through a process of corporate downsizing,

    And he had been let go.

    It was unlikely that, at the age of 59,

    He'd be able to find another position

    That paid anywhere near what he'd been earning,

    And therefore, they were financially ruined.

    Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book

    Which showed more than thirty years

    Of steady deposits and interest

    Totaling nearly £1 million.

    Then she showed him

    Certificates of deposits

    Issued by the bank

    Which were worth over £2 million,

    And informed him that they were

    One of the largest depositors in the bank.

    She explained that for the more than

    Three decades she had "charged" him for sex,

    These holdings had multiplied

    And these were the results

    Of her savings and investments.

    Faced with evidence of cash and investments

    Worth over £3 million,

    Her husband was so astounded

    He could barely speak, but

    Finally he found his voice and blurted out,

    "If I'd had any idea what you were doing,

    I would have given you all my business!"

    That's when she shot him.

    You know, sometimes,

    Men just don't know when

    To keep their mouths shut.

  • Pastors ***.......................?

    The pastor entered his donkey in a race and

    it won.

    The pastor was so pleased with the donkey

    that he entered it in the

    race

    again, and it won again.

    The local paper read:

    PASTOR'S

    *** OUT FRONT.

    The Bishop was so upset with this kind of

    publicity that he ordered

    the

    pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

    The next day, the local paper headline

    read:

    BISHOP

    SCRATCHES

    PASTOR'S

    ***.

    This was too much for the bishop, so he

    ordered the pastor to get

    rid

    of the donkey.

    The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a

    nearby convent.

    The local paper, hearing of the news, posted

    the follo wing headline

    the

    next day:

    NUN HAS BEST *** IN TOWN.

    The bishop fainted.

    He informed the nun that she would have to

    get rid of the donkey, so

    she

    sold it to a farmer for $10.

    The next day the paper read:

    NUN

    SELLS *** FOR $10.

    This was too much for the bishop, so he

    ordered the nun to buy back

    the

    donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run

    wild.

    The next day the headlines read:

    NUN ANNOUNCES HER *** IS WILD AND FREE.

    The bishop was buried the next day.

    The moral of the story is . . . being

    concerned about public opinion

    can

    bring you much grief and misery . . even shorten your

    life.

    So be yourself and enjoy life.

    Stop worrying about everyone else's *** and

    you'll be a lot happier

    and

    live longer!

  • robby robot..........?

    John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmick. His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him to change. One day John came home with another one of his unusual purchases. It was a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector.

    It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11 year old son, returned home from school. Tommy was over 2 hours late.

    'Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home?' asked John.

    'Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project,' said Tommy.

    The robot then walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair.

    'Son,' said John, 'this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you really were after school.'

    'We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie.' said Tommy.

    'What did you watch?' asked Marsha.

    'The Ten Commandments.' answered Tommy.

    The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him off his chair once more.

    With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, 'I am sorry I lied.

    We really watched a tape called Sex Queen.'

    'I am ashamed of you son,' said John. 'When I was your age, I never lied to my parents.'

    The robot then walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair.

    Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and said, 'Boy, did you ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!'

    With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha and knocked her out of her chair.

Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again I play the ball towards his voice.'

  • chritmas in the trenches?

    My name is Francis Tolliver. I come from Liverpool.

    Two years ago the war was waiting for me after school.

    To Belgium and to Flanders, to Germany to here,

    I fought for King and country I love dear.

    It was Christmas in the trenches where the frost so bitter hung.

    The frozen field of France were still, no Christmas song was sung.

    Our families back in England were toasting us that day,

    their brave and glorious lads so far away.

    I was lyin' with my mess-mates on the cold and rocky ground

    when across

    the lines of battle came a most peculiar sound.

    Says I "Now listen up me boys", each soldier strained to hear

    as one young German voice sang out so clear.

    "He's singin' bloddy well you know", my partner says to me.

    Soon one by one each German voice joi

    ned in in harmony.

    The cannons rested silent. The gas cloud rolled no more

    as Christmas brought us respite from the war.

    As soon as they were finished a reverent pause was spent.

    'God rest ye merry, gentlemen' struck up some lads from Kent.

    The next they sang was 'Stille Nacht". "Tis 'Silent Night'" says I

    and in two toungues one song filled up that sky.

    "There's someone commin' towards us" the front-line sentry cried.

    All sights were fixed on one lone figure trudging from their side.

    His truce flag, like a Christmas star, shone on that plain so bright

    as he bravely strode, unarmed, into the night.

    Then one by one on either side walked into no-mans-land

    with neither gun nor bayonet we met there hand to hand.

    We shared some secret brandy and wished each other well

    and in a flare-lit soccer game we gave 'em hell.

    We traded chocolates, cigarettes and photgraphs from home

    these sons and fathers far away from families of their own.

    Young Sanders played his squeeze box and they had a violin

    this

    curious and unlikely band of men.

    Soon daylight stole upon us and France was France once more.

    With sad farewells we each began to settle back to war.

    But the question haunted every heart that lived that wonderous night

    "whose family have I fixed with

    in my sights?"

    It was Christmas in the trenches where the frost so bitter hung.

    The frozen fields of France were warmed as songs of peace were sung.

    For the walls they'd kept between us to exact the work of war

    had been crumbled and were gone for ever

    more.

    My name is Francis Tolliver. In Liverpool I dwell.

    Each Christmas come since World War One I've learned it's lessons well.

    That the ones who call the shots won't be among the dead and lame

    and on each end of the rifle we're the same.

    -- John

  • the deaf wife..............?

    man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he

    thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he

    called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.

    The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could

    perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

    Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from

    her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you.

    If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."

    That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in

    the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what

    happens." Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?"

    No response.

    So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife

    and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    Still no response.

    Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his

    wife and asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    Again he gets no response.

    So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's

    for dinner?"

    Again there is no response.

    So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    (I just love this)

    "Ralph, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!"

  • The battle of Trafalgar updated .....................?

    Just before the Battle of Trafalgar - a conversation is overheard on the poop deck of HMS Victory: Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy." Hardy: "Aye, aye sir." Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?" Hardy: "Sorry sir?" Nelson (reading aloud): "England expects every person to do his or herduty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability." "What gobbledy **** is this?" Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting 'England' past the censors, lest it be considered racist." Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco." Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free work environments." Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the main brace to steel the men before battle." Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. It's part of the Government's policy on binge drinking." Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it -full speed ahead!" Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water." Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle inhistory. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest please." Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir." Nelson: "What?" Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest , sir. No harness. And they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be erected." Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy." Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the fo'c'sle,Admiral." Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd." Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir.We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled." Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiralty playing the disability card." Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency." Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons." Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats and sun screen. And, they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?" Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy." Hardy: "Ah, the men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone,Admiral." Nelson: "What? This is mutiny!" Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. The re's a couple oflegal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks." Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?" Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not." Nelson: "We're NOT?" Hardy: "No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation." Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil." Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity coordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report." Nelson: "You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King." Hardy: "Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multi culturalage. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life" Nelson: "Don't tell me - health and safety. Whatever happened to rum,sodomy and the lash?" Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on corporal punishment." Nelson: "What about sodomy?" Hardy: "I believe that is now legal, sir. Men can now get married and adopt children" Nelson: "In that case . . . kiss me, Hardy."

  • the monk...............................?

    A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?

    The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound; a sound like no other that he has ever heard. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, We can't tell you because you're not a monk.

    The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery.

    The monks again accept him, feed him, and even fix his car.

    That night, he hears the same strange mesmerizing sound that he had heard years earlier.

    The next morning, he asks what the sound was, but the monks reply,

    We can't tell you because you're not a monk.

    The man says, all right, all right... I'm dying to know.

    If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?

    The monks reply, you must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk.

    The man sets about his task. Some forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, I have travelled the earth and devoted my life to the task demanded and have found what you had asked for. There are 371,145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth.

    The monks reply, congratulations, you are correct, and you are now considered a monk ..

    We shall now show you the way to the sound.

    The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, the sound is behind that door.

    The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He asks, May I have the key ?

    The monks give him the key, and he opens the door.

    Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man requests the key to the stone door.

    The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it... Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire. And so it went on until the man had gone through doors of emerald,...

    ..silver, topaz, and amethyst.

    Finally, the monks say, This is the key to the last door .

    The man is relieved to be at the end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is astonished to find the source of that strange sound. It is truly an amazing and unbelievable sight.

    But I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk.

    DON'T SWEAR AT ME; I'M STILL HUNTING FOR THE SWINE WHO SENT IT TO ME!

    They say, "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"

    "That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed; then he thought for a moment.

    "You know," he said, "I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Frank and Jacob.

    My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time."

    "Thank you," the woman responded, "this may very well be the solution."

    The next day, she took her female parrots to the priest's house. As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage, holding rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them. After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"

    There was stunned silence. Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed, "Put the beads away, Frank, our prayers have been answered."

    'I'm O. K. but I didn't like the four letter-words the doctor used in surgery,' he answered.

    'What did he say,' asked the nurse.

    'Oops!'

    While shopping for vacation clothes, my husband and I passed a display of

    bathing suits. It had been at least ten years and twenty pounds since I had

    even considered buying a bathing suit, so sought my husband's advice.

    'What do you think?' I asked. 'Should I get a bikini or an all-in-one?'

    'Better get a bikini,' he replied. 'You'd never get it all in one.'

    He's still in intensive care

  • For our lads and ladys at war uk,us and all............?

    Last week I was in West London attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen. Moving through the terminal was a group of soldiers in their uniforms, as they began heading to their gate everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red blooded Briton who still loves

    this country and supports our troops and their families. Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work, and enjoy our home without fear or reprisal. Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old, ran up to one of the male soldiers. He knelt down and said 'hi,' the little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her. The young soldier didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this

    soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek. The mother of the little girl, who said her daughters name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Corporal and had been in Afghanistan for 5 months now. As the mum was explaining how much her daughter, Courtney, missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up. When this temporarily single mum was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it. After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier

    walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a Kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying 'Your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon.' The mum at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet he saluted Courtney and her mum. I was standing no more than 6 feet away as this entire event unfolded. As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around, there

    were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in one last act of moment turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.. We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be an Englishman. RED FRIDAYS Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Englishmen and women who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for Country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized,

    boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many English people, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of Britain supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that every Briton who supports our men and women afar will wear something red. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make Great Britain on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football team If every one of us who loves this country will share this with

    acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family, It will not be long before Britain is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is...'We need your support and your prayers'... Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday. IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON IF YOU COULD NOT CARE LESS THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON. IT IS YOUR CHOICE.

  • Man Flu.......................?

    1. Man-Flu is more painful than childbirth. This is an irrefutable scientific fact*.

    *(Based on a survey of over 100,000 men.)

    2. Man-Flu is not 'just a cold'. It is a condition so severe that the germs from a single Man-Flu sneeze could wipe out entire tribes of people living in the rainforest. And probably loads of monkeys too.

    3. Women do not contract Man-Flu. At worst they suffer from what is medically recognised as a 'Mild Girly Sniffle' which, if a man caught, he would still be able to run, throw a ball, tear the phone book in half and compete in all other kinds of manly activities.

    4. Men do not 'moan' when they have Man-Flu. They emit involuntary groans of agony that are entirely in proportion to the unbearable pain they are in.

    5. Full recovery from Man-Flu will take place much quicker if their simple requests for care, sympathy and regular cups of tea are met. Is that really so much to ask? Florence Nightingale would have done it

    6. More men die each year from MFN (Man-Flu Neglect) than lots and lots of other things. (Like rabbit attacks or choking on toast).

    7. Men suffering from Man-Flu want nothing more than to get out of bed and come to work, but they are too selfless to risk spreading this awful condition amongst their friends and colleagues. In this sense, they are the greatest heroes this country has ever known.

    8. In 1982 scientists managed to simulate the agonising symptoms of full blown Man-Flu in a female chimp. She became so ill that her head literally fell off.

    9. Man-Flu germs are more powerful than He-Man, The Thundercats and The A-Team combined. They are too strong for weak, nasty tasting 'lady medicines' like Lemsip, so don't bother trying to force them on a victim of Man-Flu.

    10. While it may seem like a Man-Flu sufferer is just lying around enjoying 'Diagnosis Murder' it is a commonly recognised medical fact that the exact pitch and frequency of Dick Van Dyke's voice has remarkable soothing powers.

    Every minute in this country one man is struck down by Man-Flu. Women, all we ask is that each of you offers them a cup of tea, some kind words and your undivided attention and care. Then maybe, just maybe, we'll beat this monstrous disease together.

  • driving ya potty.............................uk?

    This morning on the Motorway,

    I looked over to my left and there was a

    Woman

    In a brand new

    Ford Focus

    Doing 110 miles per hour

    With her

    Face up next to her

    Rear view mirror

    Putting on her eyeliner.

    I looked away

    For a couple seconds !

    And when I looked back she was

    Halfway over in my lane,

    Still working on that makeup.

    As a man,

    I don't scare easily.

    But she scared me so much;

    I dropped

    My electric shaver,

    Which knocked

    The meat pie

    Out of my other hand.

    In all

    The confusion of trying

    To straighten out the car

    Using my knees against

    The steering wheel,

    It knocked

    My Mobile phone

    Away from my ear

    Which fell

    Into the coffee

    Between my legs,

    Splashed,

    And burned

    Big Jim and the Twins,

    Ruined the damn phone,

    Soaked my trousers,

    And disconnected an

    Important call.

    bloody women drivers!
