Sternum is Latin for Ball-Bag.

Hi ,al1934 .

Know the feeling , had a camera up my whatsit twice [ age 77 ] and both
times a female doctor .
Do you think they take that profesion to get back and inflick pain on their
fellow men . ha,ha .

Even had camera down my throat twice and three times up
my posterior and both times with women . only good thing two nice young
nurses held me still .

Said to my local doctor that ive been poked and scanned over most of my body
but never had my brain checked , he laughed and said that could be arranged .

All the best . take care .

Tony

Hope they cleaned the camera before each procedures.

Eyup Al if you had been 20 i.t would have been the best day out ever, three nurse's messing about with your Kendo nagersackies.

Paddy goes for a job as a fork lift truck operator in Dublin but has a Norwegian guy as a competitor for the same job so the interviewer sets them a 20 questions exam paper and shows them to a room advising that whoever scores the most will get the job.
After 30 mins they both come out and hand in their papers...the interviewer marks them both and they both score 19 out of 20 and he calls them in and says "Well, you both scored 19 but I am giving the job to Leif the Norwegian"to which Paddy says "Hang on a minute...surely me being the local guy should have priority" to which the interviewer replies "Well, my decision is based on the fact that you both got question 9 wrong ,and, where Leif wrote "I don't know the answer", you wrote "Neither do I"

It was the shame of it. Two lovely ladies to hold me down while the doc did the slicing job. I heard someone say, "It looks like a cock but its too small". Smallest and prettiest in the Fleet.

John Rogers 15th December 2023 15:25

Whoever said it was right, Cocks are BIGGER than THAT. (Just joking Alick I'm built the same way)
Good worker thou, no complaints.

The best reply to that I heard in Betty's Bar Glasgow was by a lady of the night who said "Och, I'd powder over it sonny".

A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale.'
He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting there.
"You talk?" he asks.
"Yep" the Lab replies.
After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says, "So, what's your story?"
The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping, I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running... but the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down.
I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.
"Ten dollars" the guy says.
"Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on Earth are you selling him so cheap?"
"Because he's a liar. He's never been out of the yard."

A little something from a couple of years back. It was taken down quickly, but I thought it well up to the usual standard

An old colleague went on an anger management course. They suggested that he wrote letters expressing his feelings to the people that he hated, and then burn them.
That was some time ago and he’s asking whether he should shred the letters now.
What do think?

YM-Mundrabilla 13th January 2024 21:57

Many years ago in one of my former lives I was responsible for collating the pile of data for my railway's entry in 'Janes World Railways'. For whatever reason I missed the deadline and my Head of Branch (HoB) got a 'reminder' from Janes.

I was duly called to front said HoB (coat and tie bit like a kid in front of the headmaster in those days) where I was instructed to write myself a 'bung' (admonitory letter) warning myself to take more care and not to reoffend in the future.

Duly wrote myself said warning and fronted HoB for him to sign it which he did and handed it to me, saying:

'Now tear the bloody thing up and get back to work............' :o

Lesson learned.;)

I thought you were a Fireman and next thing you're writing letters. Where did it all go wrong?

Dartskipper 13th January 2024 23:37

I never worked out why a fireman on the railway or at sea kept a fire going, but a fireman on the land put fires out.

Only aboard the GD Comrade...................;)

On land, in the railways tried all manner of things. Privatisation and redundancies forced many a twist and turn in one's career.:curtain_call:

Administration :quill:, marketing, turned into wagon fleet operations and maintenance over a span of 40 years and three redundancies. Each redundancy and forced change of direction turned out to be a blessing in disguise.:)

Fair play YM, you have to be flexible nowadays to keep a roof over your head and the wolf from the door.

If you visit the Canary Islands...


You wont find any canaries.



Likewise,




If you visit the Virgin Islands,







No canaries there either. :big_tongue:

How about Brest.?

Engine Serang 22nd January 2024 07:03

I've carried a cargo of nipples to Brest.

Dartskipper 22nd January 2024 13:51

There is a place in Pennsylvania named Bird in Hand, and another named Virginville.

Never saw any there though.

OLDGIT77 22nd January 2024 14:13

lots of places with funny names .
CROTCH CRESENT
PENIS ROAD
SLAG LANE
CUMMING STREET . LONDON N1

As a articulated lorry driver at one time use to get
a lot of funny addresses on my delivery ticket .
Could not beleive half of them and how the local councils
allowed them .

Tony

Dartskipper 25th January 2024 20:43

Further to my earlier post, here are some more names of settlements near the two previously mentioned in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They are all in or near an area populated mostly by Amish families.

Paradise.
Intercourse.
Bird In Hand.
Bareville.
Blue Ball.

Malcolm G 26th January 2024 14:21

A local fast food shop listed liver and onions on their flyer.
I ordered some and they bought just the onions because it was de-livered.

Engine Serang 27th January 2024 09:37

Liver, onions, bacon, creamy mash and gravy,(yes gravy, not sauce or jus) is a meal for a dinner plate rather than wrapped in a Daily Express.

Dartskipper 27th January 2024 12:42

Two chaps left a traditional East End of London Fish and Chipshop. One said,"My fish tastes funny." The other replied, "No wonder, it's wrapped in the cartoon page."

Boom-boom.

Varley 27th January 2024 13:28

Then what use is there for the Daily Express, E-S? Think of the dispossessed of Fleet Street before taking from them what little they have.

Malcolm G 11th February 2024 15:45

A horse walks into a bar and orders a pint.
The barman says “You come in her quite often, do you think that you might be an alcoholic?”
The horse says “I don’t think I am….” And promptly vanishes.

The joke is about Descartes’ famous philosophical idea “I think therefore I am.”
But if I had explained that before the rest of the joke it would have been putting Descartes before the horse.

It was one of the "standards" at the Boy Scouts. Late 50s til I went to sea in '64.
