    right got to dash but take it easy..

    A Duke was hunting in the forest with his men-at-arms and servants when he came across a tree. Upon it, archery targets were painted and smack in the middle of each was an arrow.

    "Who is this incredibly fine archer"? cried the duke. "I must find him"!

    After continuing through the forest for a few miles he came across a small boy carrying a bow and arrow. Eventually the boy admitted that it was he who shot the arrows plumb in the center of all the targets.

    "You didn't just walk up to the targets and hammer the arrows into the middle, did you"? asked the duke worriedly.

    "No my lord. I shot them from a hundred paces. I swear it by all that I hold holy".

    "That is truly astonishing," said the duke. "I hereby admit you into my service".

    The boy thanked him profusely.

    "But I must ask one favor in return," the duke continued. "You must tell me how you came to be such an outstanding shot".

    "Well," said the boy, "first I fire the arrow at the tree...
    ...and then I paint the target around it".

    Sister Mary burst into the office of the principal of a parochial school in a very advanced state of agitation.

    "Father!" she cried, "just wait until you hear this"!

    The priest led the sister to a chair, and said, "Now just calm down and tell me what has you so excited"?

    "Well, Father" the nun began, "I was just walking down the hall to the chapel and I heard some of the older boys wagering money"!

    "A serious infraction, indeed" said the priest!

    "But that's not what has me so shocked, Father", replied the nun, "it was what they were wagering on! They had wagered on a contest to see who could urinate the highest on the wall"!

    "What an incredible wager" exclaimed the priest, "What did you do"?

    "Well, I hit the ceiling, father".

    To which the priest replied.... "How much did you win"?

    It seems that God received a delegation of animals complaining of their lot in life.

    There was an elephant, a giraffe, and a hen.

    The elephant complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS TRUNK YOU have given me. It gets in the way, and makes me look like a fool"!

    The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick up food, drink water, etc. without getting wet"!

    Next the giraffe complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS LONG NECK! It makes me top heavy, I get terrible neck pains, and people laugh at me"!

    The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick the best fruit and leaves from the high branches, and allows you to see a distance".

    The hen spoke up, "Lord, I don't want to complain..... but either let me have a bigger arse or smaller eggs".

    I met this bloke with a didgeridoo and he was playing Dancing Queen on it. I thought, 'That's Aboriginal.'


    This lorry full of tortoises collided with a van full of terrapins. It was a turtle disaster.


    I told my girlfriend I had a job in a bowling alley. She said 'Tenpin?' I said, 'No, permanent.'


    I went in to a pet shop. I said, 'Can I buy a goldfish?' The guy said, 'Do you want an aquarium?' I said, 'I don't care what star sign it is.'


    I bought some Armageddon cheese today, and it said on the packet. 'Best before End'


    I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said 'Analogue.' I said 'No, just a watch.'


    I went into a shop and I said, 'Can someone sell me a kettle.' The bloke said 'Kenwood' I said, 'Where is he then?'


    My mate is in love with two schoolbags. He's bi-satchel.


    I went to the doctor. I said to him 'I'm frightened of lapels.' He said, 'You've got cholera.'


    I met the bloke who invented crosswords today. I can't remember his name, its P something T something R.


    I was reading this book today, The History of Glue. I couldn't put it down.


    I phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just went on and on.


    The recruitment consultant asked me 'What do you think of voluntary work? I said 'I wouldn't do it if you paid me.'


    I was in the jungle and there was this monkey with a tin opener. I said, 'You don't need a tin opener to peel a banana.' He said, 'No, this is for the custard.'


    This policeman came up to me with a pencil and a piece of very thin paper. He said, 'I want you to trace someone for me.'


    I told my mum that I'd opened a theatre. She said, 'Are you having me on?' I said, 'Well I'll give you an audition, but I'm not promising you anything.'


    I phoned the local builders today, I said to them 'Can I have a skip outside my house?' He said, 'I'm not stopping you!'


    This cowboy walks in to a German car showroom and he says 'Audi!'


    I fancied a game of darts with my mate. He said, 'Nearest the bull goes first' He went 'Baah' and I went 'Moo' He said 'You're closest'


    I was driving up the motorway and my boss phoned me and he told me I'd been promoted. I was so shocked I swerved the car. He phoned me again to say I'd been promoted even higher and I swerved again. He then made me managing director and I went right off into a tree. The police came and asked me what had happened.. I said 'I careered off the road'


    I visited the offices of the RSPCA today. It's tiny: you couldn't swing a cat in there.


    I was stealing things in the supermarket today while balanced on the shoulders of a couple of vampires. I was charged with shoplifting on two counts.


    I bought a train ticket to France and the ticket seller said 'Eurostar' I said 'Well I've been on telly but I'm no Dean Martin.


    I phoned the local gym and I asked if they could teach me how to do the splits.. He said, 'How flexible are you?' I said, 'I can't make Tuesdays or Thursdays.'


    I went to the local video shop and I said, 'Can I borrow Batman Forever?' He said, 'No, you'll have to bring it back tomorrow'.

          Good evening Abbers,

          Do I see breakfast tacos there? Yum

          Mick, I hope you didn't get too rain soaked on your detecting trip today. Find anything interesting?

          Pauly, I haven't been to Denny's since the late 90's I think. They did have some tasty stuff

          PQ, I hope yo had a good day & I also hope tomorrow's meeting goes well for you!

          I went to a real live musical today - local production of "Newsies'. It was awesome, loved it & all the great young talented actors, dancers & singers.
          My daughter had tickets just for the two of us so we left the men & granddaughter home, ha ha. Afterwards we met up for a nice dinner out.
          Good to get out of the house & do something different once in a while.

          Wishing everyone a nice night!

            These are supposedly actual signs that have appeared at various locations.

            1. At a Santa Fe gas station: “We will sell gasoline to anyone in a glass container."

            2. In a New York restaurant: “Customers who consider our waitresses uncivil ought to see the manager."

            3. On the wall of a Baltimore estate: “Trespassers will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.-Sisters of Mercy"

            4. On a long-established New Mexico dry cleaners: “38 years on the same spot."

            5. In a Los Angeles dance hall: “Good clean dancing every night but Sunday."

            6. In a Florida maternity ward: “No children allowed."

            8. In a New York drugstore: “We dispense with accuracy."

            9. In the offices of a loan company: “Ask about our plans for owning your home."

            10. In a New York medical building: “Mental Health Prevention Center"


            I was in the pub on Friday night.

            I noticed two large girls by the bar. They both had strong accents so I said "Hi, are you two girls from Scotland"?

            One of them chirped "It's WALES you idiot"!!!

            So I immediately apologised and said "Sorry, are you two whales from Scotland"?

            A young cowboy from Wyoming goes off to college. Half way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered all his money. He calls home.

            "Dad," he says, "You won't believe what modern education is developing! They actually have a program here in Laramie that will teach our dog, Ol' Blue how to talk!"

            "That's amazing," his Dad says. "How do I get Ol' Blue in that program?"

            "Just send him down here with $1,000" the young cowboy says. "I'll get him in the course."

            So, his father sends the dog and $1,000.

            About two-thirds of the way through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy calls home.

            "So how's Ol' Blue doing son?" his father asks.

            "Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this - they've had such good results they have started to teach the animals how to read!"

            "Read!?" says his father, "No kidding! How do we get Blue in that program?"

            "Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class."

            The money promptly arrives. But our hero has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out the dog can neither talk, nor read.

            So he shoots the dog.

            When he arrives home at the end of the year, his father is all excited. "Where's Ol' Blue? I just can't wait to see him read something and talk!"

            "Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ol' Blue was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal, like he usually does. Then he turned to me and asked, "So, is your daddy still messing around with that little redhead who lives down the street?"

            The father exclaimed, "I hope you shot that SOB before he talks to your Mother!"

            "I sure did, Dad!"

            "That's my boy!"

            The kid went on to law school, and now serves in Washington D.C. as a Congressman.

            Angela: So while I was visiting my friend in the hospital, some deranged man came stumbling out of his room, picked up a red-headed nurse and threw her over his shoulder. This crazy man started shouting at the topof his voice that he was going to sacrifice a virgin!

            Joanne: Oh, no! What did the hospital staff do?

            Angela: One intern yelled, "She's no virgin!" Then two maintenance men, three orderlies, and two MDs shouted, "I can vouch for that!"

            The following assessment was developed by the School of Psychiatry at Harvard University ...

                good day to all
                last full week at Soil & Water, then taking the plunge to go it alone and who knows, might take early SS before the gummit takes it away.

                Enjoyed the chuckles, Mick. Didn't read back, any luck tecting the other day?

                hey Pauly, Monday's should be renamed Groggy day. Same here.

                be well folks

                    Good evening Abbers,

                    Nice day today, nice to be outside

                    Mick, I really have to wonder what a quarter of a penny bought you back in those days, ha ha!!
                    We are heating up each day this week until it hits 90 degrees on Thursday, then rain on Friday.

                    Sam, hope your last week goes as well as possible. I'll tell you what, I started up my SS in January. I'm afraid of the thieves in Washington & don't want to have to go down there & kick their a$$es for stealing our money

                    Hello to Pauly, SK , PQ & everyone!

                    Have a peaceful night!

                              pie sorry about the wee dog..yes its nature I guess but not nice with a domesticated puppy.how did you get on with the condo chat?

                              hiya pauly hows you then ? still got the zeds? did you get the rain?whatever have a nice day.

                              hi Sam gotta pay yer uncles taxes!! re 60s guy me too...woodstock and all that !! last day on the land? have you got to replace those timbers too?

                              hello everyone thats not here yet

                              While waiting at a bus stop for a bus, a woman stepped onto a weight machine that told your fortune and weight for a quarter.

                              She put a quarter in, and out came a card that read:
                              "Your age is 32, You weigh 135 lbs, and you play the fiddle."

                              She found the fortune amusing, since she didn't play the fiddle, but it did have her age correct. About that time, an old gentleman walked up carrying a fiddle. She asked him if she could see his fiddle. He agreed and to their amazement, she began playing the fiddle with great natural skill.

                              She wondered if the fortune machine had actually known something about her that she didn't. She thought about it, and decided to try the weight machine again. She put another quarter in the machine, and out comes the card that reads:
                              "Your age is 32, you weigh 135 lbs., and you have gastritis."

                              She found this one to be absurd, as she was in perfect health. So she went back to the bus-stop to wait for her bus.

                              While sitting there, she develops abdominal pains that continue to get worse until she lets rip a humongous batch of anal air. She wondered about the fortune, and again was curious if the machine was capable of knowing stuff about her that she didn't know.

                              She goes back and puts another quarter in the machine. Out comes a card that reads:
                              "Your age is 32, you weigh 135 lbs., and you are about to have sex."

                              She laughed out loud, as she had been trying to find a decent guy to screw around with for months, with no luck. She is sitting there waiting for the bus, when this attractive young man sits down and immediately their eyes locked, and they both knew that they were right for each other. They quickly ducked down an alley and began to go at it like rutting pigs.

                              The woman was so simply amazed at the ability of the machine, that she had to try it one more time. She stood on the machine,
                              put her last quarter in, and out came a card that read:
                              "Your age is 32, you weigh 135 lbs. You've fiddled, you've farted, you've screwed around, and now you've missed your bus."

                              Little Johnny returns from school and says he got an F in arithmetic.

                              "Why?" asks the father.

                              "The teacher asked 'How much is 2 x 3?' I said 6.

                              "But that's right!"

                              "Then she asked me 'How much is 3 x 2?'

                              "What's the fcking difference?" asks the father.

                              "That's what I said!"

                              One day Little Johnny's Mom was cleaning his room. In the closet, she found a bondage S&M magazine. This was *highly* upsetting to her. She hid the magazine until his father got home. When Little Johnny's father walked in the door, she irately handed the magazine to him, and said, "THIS is what I found in "your" son's closet".

                              He looked at it and handed it back to her without a word.

                              Several minutes passed, then she finally asked him, "Well what should we do about this"?

                              Little Johnny's Dad looked at her and said, "Well I don't think you should spank him".
