    right folks for the offski have a good one

    I've started my own dating agency for chickens, it's not going well, I'm struggling to make hens meet

    I'm lying in bed, smoking a joint and listening to the Carpenters...

    Who are taking way too long installing this fu.king kitchen.

    The wife shouted "There's a tramp going through our bins!"

    "Ah leave him, he's doing no harm" I replied.

    "But he's in the fucking kitchen!" she screamed.

    The Apple store in Central London was broken into last night.

    Police are looking for iWitnesses...

    We stood face to face, gazing into each others eyes.

    Then she said the three little words that changed my life forever

    "That's him, officer"

    When I was young, my mum always used to hit me with the telephone.>
    I was always on the receiving end.....

    I went to the Jobcentre earlier, to see if they had anything for me.
    The girl said, 'We have a few positions in data entry.'
    'Sorry,' I replied, 'but I can't use a computer.'
    'You can't use a computer? In this day and age? Are you mentally handicapped?'
    'No,' I replied, 'but it's one of my bail conditions.

    A girl of seven walked into her mother's bedroom and asked her to tell her a bedtime story.
    The mother wasn't thrilled with the request.
    She said, "It's almost two in the morning."
    "I know, Mummy, but I'd love to hear a story."
    The mother said, "Lie down in bed with me. We'll wait for your father to get in and he'll tell us both one!"

    Paddy and Mick were both laid off, so they went to the unemployment office. When asked his occupation,
    Paddy answered, 'Knicker Stitcher.. I sew da elastic onto ladies' knickers and thongs..'
    The clerk looked up Knicker Stitcher on his computer and, finding it classified as unskilled labour, he gave him ?80 a week unemployment pay.
    Mick was next in and when asked his occupation replied, 'Diesel Fitter.'
    Since a diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Mick ?160 a week.
    When Paddy found out he was furious.. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.
    The clerk explained, 'Knicker Stitchers are unskilled labour and Diesel Fitters are skilled labour.'
    'What skill?' yelled Paddy. 'I sew da elastic on da knickers and thongs, then Mick puts 'em over his head and says: 'Yep, diesel fitter "

    Paddy is booking into a guest house and looking around the reception when he notices a sign on the wall.

    He asks the owner, "What time do you get in?"

    The owner looks confused and says, "Well, I'm the owner, I live here. Why do you ask?"

    Paddy says, "Well, on that sign there it says, 'Guests have to be in before you!' "

    The owner replies, "You seem to have misunderstood Sir!
    It says, 'Guests must be in before 1 am!"

    THINGS THAT ONLY HAPPEN IN MOVIES:

    1. When paying for a taxi, do not look at your wallet as you take out a note. Just grab one out at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

    2. James Bond never gets an STD.

    3. Dogs and children know immediately that someone is the bad guy.

    4. No matter how pointless to the plot, the male and female leads will have to have a bedroom scene.

    5. People hack into computers by incessantly typing on the keyboard. Even though they don't appear to be working in DOS mode, they never use the mouse.

    6. There is always a gun in reach when you fall onto the ground.

    7. Just as the hero and villains fight ends, with the hero winning, about a dozen police cars show up.

    8. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises wearing their most revealing underwear.

    9. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all than 20 men firing at once.

    10. Prostitutes always look like Steven Gerrard & Jamie Carragher.

    Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect.

    One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car along a winding road, when they noticed someone at the side of the road in distress. Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help.

    There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle. Soon they were driving along delivering the toys....

    Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple; and Santa Claus had an accident. Only one of them survived the accident.

    Question: Who was the survivor?

    Answer:

    The perfect woman survived. She's the only one who really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man.

    **** Women stop reading here, that is the end of the joke.
    **** Men keep scrolling.

    So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the woman must have been driving. This explains why there was a car accident.

    By the way, if you're a woman and you're still reading, this illustrates another point: Women never listen.!!

    My wife's barricaded herself in the kitchen in a rage,after a massive argument over how miserable and tight I've become since we got married.

    She's in there now,ripping all the plates in half.

    Last night I watched a documentary on Asthma.

    Breathtaking stuff.

    My wife left a note on the TV today saying,"It's not working,I'm leaving."

    I plugged it in,turned it on,nothing wrong with it the stupid git!

    My little boy just came running down the stairs shouting at the top of his voice,"Daaaaad,Daaaaad,don't get me a bike for Christmas." I said,"Why son?" He said,"I just found one behind the wardrobe."

          Good morning Abbers,

          I'm actually seeing some sunshine for a change - yay!
          Freezing cold but sunny is OK

          Mick, Tootsie Rolls are an American classic :H
          Chocolately, sweet, chewy, soul soothing!!!!! Hope your rain lets up, that gets tiresome too.

          TT, glad your holiday party went well! Good luck with the cat!

          I am on a mission today to get tons of stuff done & out of the way. But I am reserving an hour or two to meet a friend for lunch. Today is my very last day being a fifty-something. At least I get to wake up tomorrow being a clear headed, relatively happy & healthy 60 year old granny :H
          Oh well, things could be a lot worse :H

          Wishing everyone a terrific AF Hump day!

              Holy Crap, a TON of snow here in Calgary. PQ, did you make it in to work? We have a snow fall warning , its been snowing all day. I will be walking home soon in the stuff. (actually its kinda fun)

              TT- Tootsies are a chewy candy that are kinda like toffee but more chocolatey. We have Crunchie Bars but not pineapple lumps or hokey pokey icecream. I LOVE those Crunchie Bars and tootsie rolls!

              Mick, I love swimming myself. Not always easy to get to the pool in this weather though!

              TT- good luck with your cat!

              Have a great sober Wednesday!

                MAE ALL...

                Well to start with Narilly I did make it to work, went early to get ahead of the snow. And secondly Mick work did not do ok today. Excuse me a minute while I go VENT on the #)%*)@&%#(*^ Thread! Ok feel better now.

                Things are pretty stressed around the centre, 2 days till 2 weeks holidays. Lots of last minute changes to scheduled xmas lunches and parties. The building super crossed the line today and I let him have it. Quite a few shocked co-workers as this is the first time I haven't been up and positive.

                He pissed me off so much that I headed straight for the liquor store with that "F" it attitude. Sat there for a bit and thought "Why am I here?" as per Mick's advice ask yourself why. Well the answer was "I'll show him, I'm going to get drunk!" I had forgotten how many times I drank AT people. So decided the better answer was come home and hit the )(#%*@_)*#& thread instead.

                Going to just settle down, have a tea and relax for a bit. Apologies for not addressing all of you but I Will Be Back......PPQP

                      Aw Det - sounds like you needed a good oral surgeon to extract that tooth. Hope you feel better very soon

                      PQ, I am one of those 'drink at' people - well, I was.....
                      I'm so happy you thought it through & got out of there
                      I just keep telling myself that behavior didn't make anything better in the past so it sure as hell won't now. Better to rant & rave here, right?

                      So TT started my birthday half a day early - geez, thanks :H :H

                      Narilly, hope you found your way home safely in all that snow!!
