Too much information V, far too much.

I'll break one of my own rules and mention others waterworks....... Modify a package of Pampers FFS; you're beginning to behave like poor old Private Godfrey.

A little boy with a large holdall was stopped by the local policeman.

"What are you doing with that big bag sonny? You can hardly carry it, can I look inside?"

"It's got all me favourite toys and books, that's all." the boy replied sullenly.

"And why is that?" asked the policeman.

"Because I'm running away from home, that's why."

"Ah, I see now. So, please tell me lad, why are you running away from your lovely home."

"Well," replied the young boy, "When I went along the landing to the bathroom last night, I heard Mummy and Daddy talking . I stopped to listen and heard Daddy saying he was going to pull out soon, and Mummy replied that she would be coming too. If they think they can push off and leave me with a £250,000 mortgage around my neck, they can think again."

I found a nice job working along the Cumbria coast.
I was told to carry a Geiger counter and I couldn't work out why.

Then it clicked.

I had this recurring dream that I was covered in Gold paint.

I went to the doctor who told me I had a gilt complex.

As I get older, I remember all the people I have lost along the way.

Maybe it wasn't the best choice to spend my career as a tour guide.

Saw Tommy Cooper doing a routine on TV and this is a typical TC joke, all about the delivery.

"I went to the Doctor and told him I think I've broken my arm in several places."
He said: "Well don't go to those places."

The Lone Ranger and his trusty sidekick had to camp overnight so they pitched their tent and went to bed. Lone ranger woke during the night and shook his buddy. See all the millions of stars in the heavens he said. Yes, Kemsabe was his reply.
Someone has stolen the bloody tent he said.

One of the first programmes I watched on our new "KB New Queen" television set, about 1958 or 9.
Great fun was had adjusting the Vertical and Horizontal Hold buttons at the back. It was also switched off in bad weather in case lightening came down the aerial and blew the set, and us, up. Innocent or what.

Inner Peace
 
If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without alcohol,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,



Then You Are Probably The Family Dog

I have family scattered about throughout the Black Country. They sent me this which gave me a much needed laugh as I ply through chemo therapy.

"I ay a Brummie." I had to say that a few times when joining a ship. :sweat::sweat:

My mate phoned me & said “I'm 20 hours into my sponsored Semaphore Signalling marathon.”

I replied, “Then why are you ringing me?”

He said “ ‘Cos I'm just starting to flag quite badly.”

A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich.
The barman looks at him and says, "Hang on! You're a duck."
"I see your eyes are working," replies the duck.
"And you can talk!" exclaims the barman.
"I see your ears are working, too," says the duck. "Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?"
"Certainly, sorry about that," says the barman as he pulls the duck's pint. "It's just we don't get many ducks in this pub..
What are you doing round this way?"

"I'm working on the building site across the road," explains the duck. "I'm a plasterer."
The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it.
So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the barman good day and leaves.
The same thing happens for two weeks..
Then one day the circus comes to town.
The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him "You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!"
"Sounds marvelous," says the ringmaster, handing over his business card. "Get him to give me a call."
So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says, "Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money."
"I'm always looking for the next job," says the duck. "Where is it?"
"At the circus," says the barman.
"The circus?" repeats the duck.
"That's right," replies the barman.
"The circus?" the duck asks again. "That place with the big tent?"
"Yeah," the barman replies.
"With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who live in caravans?" says the duck.
"Of course," the barman replies.
"And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?" persists the duck.
"That's right!" says the barman.
The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says .. . ..
"What the f**k would they want with a plasterer???!!!"

Engine Serang 7th June 2022 07:14

Bob, did you sit in front of your PC and sacrifice 2 hours of your life typing a story about a duck??? Are you trying to outstringer Ron Stringer?
I suppose it's better than watching Newsnight this evening.

Malcolm G 7th June 2022 07:39

Outstring Ron Stringer ..... ??

That would be like drawing down on Raylan Givens .... :eek:

“Don’t be silly, it can’t be a man, it must be a duck”

My daft mate said to me, “If I was a rapper I’d give myself the handle Gershwin & I’d sell my music exclusively on Compact Disc, with Azur coloured cover art.”

Why so specific?", says me.

“Because then, they’d be Gershwins Rap CDs in Blue!”
