    Day off Friday Yuk!

    Locked

    by jdclyde ·

    [i]Going to the doc today. They haven’t poked me with quite enough needles it seems! 🙁

    So I had to take a day off, as I drive an hour each way to work and back. No time to go to doc AND the two hours travel and still have any time to work. If I was going to miss a day, it might as well be friday! (yes, I have the boys WAY early this week! woo woo!)[/i]
    —————————————–

    Having lunch one day, a sex therapist said to her friend, “According to a survey we just completed, ninety percent of all people masturbate in the shower. Only ten percent of them sing.”

    “Really?” asked the friend.

    The therapist shook her head and proceeded to ask, “And do you know what song they sing?”

    The friend nodded her head and replied, “No.”

    The therapist replied, “I didn’t think so.”

    ————————

    Three expectant mothers were sitting in the obstetrician’s waiting room. Two of the ladies began to chat about their pregnancies, and their due dates and such.

    One of the women said to the other, “I happen to know that my baby is going to be a boy, because when my baby was conceived, my husband was on top.”

    Replied the other woman, “Oh! That must mean that I’m going to have a girl, because when my baby was conceived, I was on top.”

    The third woman suddenly burst noisily into tears. Concerned, the other two ladies turned to her and asked, “My heavens, what ever is wrong?”

    The third woman wailed tearfully, “I’m afraid that I may be having a puppy!”

    ———————–

    A young doctor had moved into a small town and was setting up a new practice. He had a new sign painted and hung it in front of his office, proclaiming his specialties:

    “Homosexuals & Hemorrhoids”

    The town fathers were greatly upset with the sign and asked him please to change it. The Doctor was eager to please, so he put up a new sign:

    “Queers & Rears”

    The town fathers were really fuming about that one, so they demanded that the Doctor come up with a decent sign that would not offend the townspeople. So the Doctor finally came up with an acceptable sign:

    “Odds & Ends”

      “Doctor, Doctor, You’ve got to help me – I just can’t stop my hands shaking!”
      “Do you drink a lot?”
      “Not really – I spill most of it!”

      ———————–

      Doctor: I have some bad news and some very bad news.
      Patient: Well, might as well give me the bad news first.
      Doctor: The lab called with your test results. They said you have 24 hours to live.
      Patient: 24 HOURS! Thats terrible!! WHAT could be WORSE? What’s the very bad news?
      Doctor: I’ve been trying to reach you since yesterday.

      ————————-

      A man goes to his doctor for a complete checkup. He hasn’t been feeling well and wants to find out if he’s ill. After the checkup the doctor comes out with the results of the examination.

      “I’m afraid I have some bad news. You’re dying and you don’t have much time,” the doctor says.

      “Oh no, that’s terrible. How long have I got?” the man asks.

      “10…” says the doctor.

      “10? 10 what? Months? Weeks? What?!” he asks desperately.

      “10…9…8…7…”

      ———————————

      A man walks into a doctor’s office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear.
      “What’s the matter with me?” he asks the doctor.
      The doctor replies, “You’re not eating properly.”

      ——————————–

      A young woman went to her doctor complaining of pain.
      “Where are you hurting?” asked the doctor.
      “You have to help me, I hurt all over”, said the woman.
      “What do you mean, all over?” asked the doctor, “be a little more specific.”

      The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, “Ow, that hurts.” Then she touched her left cheek and again yelled, “Ouch! That hurts, too.” Then she touched her right earlobe, “Ow, even THAT hurts”, she cried.

      The doctor checked her thoughtfully for a moment and told her his diagnosis, “You have a broken finger.”

      ———————–

      A SHORT HISTORY OF MEDICINE: “Doctor, I have an ear ache.”
      2000 B.C. – “Here, eat this root.”
      1000 B.C. – “That root is heathen, say this prayer.”
      1850 A.D. – “That prayer is superstition, drink this potion.”
      1940 A.D. – “That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill.”
      1985 A.D. – “That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic.”
      2000 A.D. – “That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root!”

      A man goes to the eye doctor. The receptionist asks him why he is there. The man complains, “I keep seeing spots in front of my eyes.”
      The receptionist asks, “Have you ever seen a doctor?” and the man replies, “No, just spots.”

      —————————-

      “The doctor said he would have me on my feet in two weeks.”
      “And did he?”
      “Yes, I had to sell the car to pay the bill.”

      WOMAN’S PERFECT BREAKFAST

      by hal 9000 ·

      In reply to Day off Friday Yuk!

      She’s sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
      Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
      Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
      Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
      And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.
      WOMEN’S REVENGE
      “Cash, check or charge?” I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
      As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
      “So, do you always carry your TV remote?” I asked.
      “No,” she replied, ” but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
      and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.”
      UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
      (A MAN’S PERSPECTIVE)
      I know I’m not going to understand women.
      I’ll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
      pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
      and still be afraid of a spider.

      CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS
      A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles.
      The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.
      He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
      She directs him down the correct aisle.
      A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton
      balls and a ball of string on the counter.
      She says, confused, “Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
      He answers, ” You see, it’s like this,
      yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes,
      and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling
      papers; cause it’s sooo-ooo–oo-ooo much cheaper.
      So, I figure if I have to roll my own . so does she.

      ( I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton! )
      WIFE VS. HUSBAND
      A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
      An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
      neither of them wanted to concede their position.
      As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,the husband asked sarcastically, “Relatives of yours?”
      “Yep,” the wife replied, “in-laws.”
      W O R D S
      A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day…
      30,000 to a man’s 15,000.
      The wife replied, “The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men…
      The husband then turned to his wife and asked, “What?”
      CREATION
      A man said to his wife one day, “I don’t know how you can be
      so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
      ” The wife responded, “Allow me to explain.
      God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
      God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
      WHO DOES WHAT
      A man and his wife were having an argument about who
      should brew the coffee each morning.
      The wife said, “You should do it, because you get up first,
      and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee.”
      The husband said, ” You are in charge of cooking around here and
      you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.”
      Wife replies, “No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible
      that the man should do the coffee.”
      Husband replies, “I can’t believe that, show me.”
      So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
      and showed h im at the top of several pages, that it indeed says……….”HEBREWS”
      The Silent Treatment
      A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each
      other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,
      he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
      Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
      “Please wake me at 5:00 AM.” He left it where he knew she would find it.
      The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM
      and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and
      see why his wife hadn’t wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
      the bed. The paper said, “It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.”
      Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

      God may have created man before woman,but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

      Have a great weekend. 😀

      LIFE AFTER DEATH

      ?Do you believe in life after death?? the boss asked one of his employees.

      ?Yes, Sir,? the new employee replied.

      HALF PRICE

      US Air recently introduced a special half fare for wives who accompanied their

      sent out letters to all the wives of businessmen who had used the special rates,
      asking how they enjoyed their trip.

      trip??

      THE WATER PISTOL

      When my three-year-old son opened the birthday gift from his grandmother, he discovered a water pistol. He squealed with delight and headed for the nearest sink. I was not so pleased.

      Mom smiled and then replied, ?I remember.?

      So where are all the brits?

      by jdclyde ·

      In reply to Day off Friday Yuk!

      As none of the brits have come out to play, we get to make fun of them! 😀

      ————————————

      Five Englishmen boarded a train just behind five Scots, who, as a group had only purchased one ticket. Just before the conductor came through, all the Scots piled into the toilet stall at the back of the car. As the conductor passed the stall, he knocked and called”Tickets, please!” and one of the Scots slid a ticket under the door. It was punched, pushed back under the door, and when it was safe all the Scots came out and took their seats.
      The Englishmen were tremendously impressed by the Scots’ ingenuity.
      On the trip back, the five Englishmen decided to try this themselves and purchased only one ticket. They noticed that, oddly, the Scots had not purchased any tickets this time. Anyway, again, just before the conductor came through, the Scots piled into one of the toilet stalls, the Englishmen into the other. Then one of the Scots leaned out, knocked on the Englishmen’s stall and called “Ticket, Please!” When the ticket slid out under the door, he picked it up and quickly closed the door.

      [b]What it is to be British[/b]

      It is often said that when it comes to sex and the British there is a strange undercover relationship between the two that would suggest we are shy about our sexual habits and find humour in everything of a sexual nature. Is this actually true? Do people in modern day Britain still have these repressive thoughts or have things changed?

      The British and flashing in public, Catholic priests, obsession with farting, perverts and judges with whips all lead to a very mixed bag of zany British humour that some outsiders could find worrying.

      Once extremely popular and thankfully on the wane, numerous British seaside resorts used to sell funny postcards with quite often ridiculous jokes that hinted on or directly illustrated strange sexual behaviour or repressed sexual feelings that could only be openly expressed on postcards.

      Ask 10 British men to walk into a chemist and ask the pretty girl at the counter for a packet of condoms. Blushes all round in most cases. Why is this? Why do we still feel it necessary to tie the groom naked to a lampost on the eve of his wedding?

        In reply to So where are all the brits?

        There was an Scotsman, an Englishman and Claudia Schiffer sitting together in a carriage in a train going through Wales. Suddenly the train went through a tunnel and as it was an old style train,there were no lights in the carriages and it went completely dark. Then there was this kissing noise and the sound of a really loud slap. When the train came out of the tunnel, Claudia Schiffer and the Scotsman were sitting as if nothing had happened and the Englishman had his hand against his face as he had been slapped.

        The Englishman was thinking: ‘The Scottish fella must have kissed Claudia Schiffer and she missed him and slapped me instead.’

        Claudia Schiffer was thinking: ‘The English fella must have tried to kiss me and actually kissed the Scotsman and got slapped for it.’

        And the Scotsman was thinking: ‘This is great. The next time the train goes through a tunnel I’ll make that kissing noise and slap that English b**tard again .

        Jim was speeding along the road one fine day when the local policeman, a friend of his, pulled him over.

      “Tommy Cooper” jokes – Brits only

      by neilb@uk ·

      In reply to Day off Friday Yuk!

      Last night police were called to a branch of Pizza Hut after a body of a member of staff was found covered in mushrooms, onions ham and cheese. The police spokesman said that there was a strong possiblity that the man had topped himself.

      Two little old ladies were walking through the park one Sunday afternoon. The band was playing a catchy sounding tune, and one of the old ladies said, “I wonder what the name of that tune is”. The other one noticed a sign posted near the bandstand and said, “It looks like they post the names of their selections. I’ll go down and see”. A while later she came back and told her companion, “It’s the Refrain from Spitting”.

      A hermit was arrested after driving a hundred miles an hour, the charge was recluse driving.

      When William Shakespeare went swimming one day he was obsessed with the notion that moths had been feeding on the back of his trunks! He asked a friend to investigate and make a thorough search. The friend replied, “No holes, bard.”

      A man was walking down the street and he met a small boy. The man asked what was his name.
      The boy replied, ‘six and seven-eighths.’
      The man asked him why his parents had given him such a strange name, and he replied, ‘they just picked it out of a hat.’

      A man wants into a bar and asks for a pint of lager and a packet of helicopter crisps.
      ‘Sorry’, said the barman, ‘we don’t have any helicoper crisps, we only have plane.’

      A man goes into a fish and chip shop and says ‘Can I have fish and chips twice please?’
      The shop owner says, ‘I heard you the first time.’

      A policeman walked over to a parked car and asked the driver if the car was licensed. ‘Of course it is,’ replied the driver.
      ‘Great, I’ll have a pint then.’

      Railway Porter (cheerfully) – Miss the train, sir?
      Passenger – No, I didn’t like the look of it, so I chased it out of the station.

          In reply to Jelli, Jelli, Jelli….

          Although Brignorth was beautiful…and the Black Country folk are great…

          Well, Newcastle itself… and GG being the best hostess and guide you’ll find in all the UK…and…well…Stephanie, the good looking 6’+ blonde bartender I met…oh…as well as getting Alan Shearer and Lee Clark to sign stuff for me…and sitting front row at a NUFC 2-1 victory over Everton…and did I mention Stephanie ending up being a bit of a nutter and my mate Steve’s recently-divorced friend Phil taking her off my hands so that I didn’t get accosted in Newcastle?

          I enjoyed Birmingham/WBA/Black Country…my mate Kevin is a great host as well. But, Birmingham itself just was a bit too “cosmopolitan” for me. Loved Newcastle to death…it had that feel I like…and well…then there was Elizabeth…from South Africa…but, she was dating Steve’s other mate Anthony at the time, or I’d have been talking to her…spritely, well-mannered, lovely woman. They’re broke up now and she’s in South Africa, but Steven is gonna tell her next he speaks to her about her catching my eye…and get her thoughts.

          As I mentioned elsewhere, I’ll return to WBA and Newcastle to visit if I get to take another holiday in February. I have to wait and see what happens between now and then.

          Worst case: I can’t come

          Best case: I’ll be living somewhere in Ireland and can fly across about once every 2 months to see friends on Bank Holiday weekends.

          I loved the UK tho. Super place. Will be back there again, if I can help it.

          Oh GG…did I tell you? Steve and his wife want me to move there. Told him if I did, I’d have to get season tickets for seats next to his…then I’d be full blown dedicated to NUFC and have to disappoint my other friends who are WBA, Chelsea and Arsenal supporters 😀

          Have no fear…I’ll be back to the UK…and your beer stocks will yield higher dividends again 😀

          Cheers!

          Loved Black Country.

          And, not one Wolves fan was big enough to come up and say that to my face, as I wore my T-Mobile Baggies jersey.

          Being 6’6 and looking like I wrestle trucks for a living is dissuasive…or, the Wolves’ pubs hadn’t opened long enough for them to get pissed as most Wolves fans do for a living. 😀

          So you gonna be at the match 22 October? Wish I could be.

          BOING BOING BAGGIES BAGGIES!!!

          (ROFL…If I sound daft, it’s cause I don’t know how to talk back like a real Baggies fan…I just got adopted cause one of my mates is a shareholder in their club 😀 Did I mention I went into the T-Mobile box? It’s nice to have friends. Cheers! 🙂 )

          Did you go to any clubs in Wolves? It used to have a pretty good scene, not quite like Miami I don’t think, but pretty good.

          Wish I could go too.

          Did not make Wolverhampton. My mate Kevin is not too keen on going there, as he is a [b]life-long die-hard Baggies supporter[/b].

          I mean literally…anytime told someone I was going to Birmingham to see him…he’d say “West Brom”…hahahaha. He’s Black Country folk, and a good gent. Taught me about not calling one place another…since that might upset some.

          I’m hoping to go back in February once more before my passport runs out, unless I move to Ireland or the UK. Then, I’ll be back every couple of months. 😀

      Reply to the Declaration of Independence

      by neilb@uk ·

      In reply to Day off Friday Yuk!

      We have read your “Declaration of Independence” with great interest. Certainly, it represents a considerable undertaking, and many of your statements do merit serious consideration.

      Unfortunately, the Declaration as a whole fails to meet recently adopted specifications for proposals to the Crown, so we must return the document to you for further refinement. The questions which follow might assist you in your process of revision:

      1. In your opening paragraph you use the phrase “the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.” What are these laws? In what way are they the criteria on which you base your central arguments? Please document with citations from the recent literature.

      2. In the same paragraph you refer to the “opinions of mankind.” Whose polling data are you using? Without specific evidence, it seems to us the “opinions of mankind” are a matter of opinion.

      3. You hold certain truths to be “self-evident.” Could you please elaborate. If they are as evident as you claim then it should not be difficult for you to locate the appropriate supporting statistics.

      4. “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” seem to be the goals of your proposal. These are not measurable goals. If you were to say that “among these is the ability to sustain an average life expectancy in six of the 13 colonies of at last 55 years, and to enable newspapers in the colonies to print news without outside interference, and to raise the average income of the colonists by 10 percent in the next 10 years,” these could be measurable goals. Please clarify.

      5. You state that “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Government….” Have you weighed this assertion against all the alternatives? What are the trade-off considerations?

      6. Your description of the existing situation is quite extensive. Such a long list of grievances should precede the statement of goals, not follow it. Your problem statement needs improvement.

      7. Your strategy for achieving your goal is not developed at all. You state that the colonies “ought to be Free and Independent States,” and that they are “Absolved from All Allegiance to the British Crown.” Who or what must change to achieve this objective? In what way must they change? What specific steps will you take to overcome the resistance? How long will it take? We have found that a little foresight in these areas helps to prevent careless errors later on. How cost-effective are your strategies?

      8.Who among the list of signatories will be responsible for implementing your strategy? Who conceived it? Who provided the theoretical research? Who will constitute the advisory committee? Please submit an organization chart and vitas of the principal investigators.

      9. You must include an evaluation design. We have been requiring this since Queen Anne’s War.

      10. What impact will your problem have? Your failure to include any assessment of this inspires little confidence in the long-range prospects of your undertaking.

      11. Please submit a PERT diagram, an activity chart, itemized budget, and manpower utilization matrix.

      Please submit your replies. Our due date for unsolicited proposals is July 31, 1776. Ten copies with original signatures will be required.

      Today is the annual golf outing..

      by maecuff ·

      In reply to Day off Friday Yuk!

      Since I don’t have the proper appendage, I’m not invited. On the other hand, I don’t like to golf and with over half the users out today, I’m not going to have an overly taxing day. With that in mind, I thought some golf jokes would be in order..

      There are two guys out on the course that come up on a couple of ladies playing slow. One of the guys walks up towards the ladies to ask if they can play through. About halfway there he turns around and comes back and says to his friend, “I can’t go up there and talk to them, that is my wife and my mistress.” So his friend replies, “I’ll go up and ask them.” When he is halfway there he turns around and comes back and states to his friend. “Small world”.

      A man staggers into an emergency room with two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened.
      “Well, I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife when she sliced her ball into a pasture of cows. We went to look for it and while I was rooting around I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail and sure enough, there was my wife’s golf ball… stuck right in the middle of the cow’s butt. “That’s when I made my mistake.”

      “What did you do?” asks the doctor.

      “Well, I lifted the tail and yelled to my wife, Hey, this looks like yours!”

      Top 10 things that are dirty in golf but aren’t:

      10. Nuts . . . my shaft is bent.

      9. After 18 holes I can barely walk.

      8. You really whacked the hell out of that sucker.

      7. Look at the size of his putter.

      6. Keep your head down and spread your legs a bit more.

      5. Mind if I join your threesome.

      4. Stand with your back turned and drop it.

      3. My hands are so sweaty I can’t get a good grip.

      2. Nice stroke, but your follow through has a lot to be desired.

      1. Hold up . . . I need to wash my balls first!

        I went to a work annual golf day once – got banned for life

        by deadly ernest ·

        In reply to Today is the annual golf outing..

        I’d never played golf before and neither the company or I were prepared to pay for lessons and the club were not prepared to give any lessons free. So I followed the basic instructions.

        1. Put tee into ground.

        2. Place ball on tee.

        3. Hit hard with driver.

        New instructions, get huge divot and put back in ground, AND don’t push tee all the way into the ground it’s supposed to be holding the ball up off the ground to stop you making divots, got it.

        Now I did

        1. Placed tee lightly in the ground, such to hold ball off the ground.

        2. Place ball on tee.

        3. hit ball to he11 with driver.

        Ball leaves tee like a patriot missile, like said missile it goes up at 45 degrees and rising, going more upright, soon spinning ball is overhead and headed behind us. Ball stops in club house bar after taking out huge plate glass window and two expensive bottles of spirits.

        Manager comes out screaming, 15 witnesses explains it’s impossible. Tells me to hit another one.

        Repeat placement of Tee and ball, hit as hard as I can. Same response ball takes off at a sharp upward angle, spins in the air and does a lovely U-turn and strike attack at club house bar, a few more bottles of spirits are now dripping all over the remains.

        later on another driving range, a co-worker and I worked out that the problem was the way I placed the Tee, just in the ground. When I hit the ball I was getting the bottom half of the ball with the club as the club is starting to rise and not on the flat aprt of the swing. Result ball is hit upward from underneath with a hell of a lot of English on it. It hits the air gets some grip and starts doing aerobatic manouvers.

        I was banned for life from all the golf clubs in the area.

      Not sure if a real-life funny is appropriate, but here goes! DVD trouble ticket reports and the resolution.

      Rep: My computer won’t play DVD’s.
      Res: Your computer doesn’t have a DVD player.

      Rep: Laptop wasn’t producing any sound for a DVD.
      Res: Turn off Mute.

      Rep: My computer won’t burn DVD’s.
      Res: Please try again with burnable DVD’s. (User was trying to write over a movie they didn’t like.)

      Rep: I can’t email the file from a DVD to the boss.
      Res: The email system can’t handle a 2 GB file.

      Edit to add:

      Question: How can you tell if this is a CD or a DVD?
      Answer: I read the label.

          But I would advise against going cordless if you did that what would the Pan Dimensional Being who is studying you breath? :p

          Remember that they already know that the answer is 42 but they want to know what the question is and they are in the process of studying you. Now it would be hardly fair to kill when they are so busy in their work would it? :0
