LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the

airplane. The stranger turned to her and said,

'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you

strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'

 

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed

it slowly and said to the stranger, 'What would you

like to talk about?'

 

'Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about

nuclear power?' and he smiles.

 

OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic.

But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow,

and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass - . Yet a

deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a

flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried

grass. Why do you suppose that is?'

 

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's

intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have

no idea.'

 

To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel

qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know

****?

"As a professional in my field, nurses aren't suppose to laugh. In over twenty years I've never laughed at a patient."

"Okay then," Fred said , and proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing the tiniest man thingy the nurse had ever seen. Length and width, it couldn't have been bigger than a AAA battery.

Unable to control herself, the nurse started giggling then fell

laughing to the floor. Ten minutes later she was able to struggle to

her feet and regain her composure.

"I'm so sorry," said the nurse. "I don't know what came over me. On

my honor as a nurse and a lady, I promise it won't happen again."

Now, tell me, what seems to be the problem?"

"It's swollen," Fred replied.

Text of a letter from a kid from Eromanga to Mum and Dad.

(For those of you not in the know, Eromanga is a small town, west of Quilpie in the far south west of Queensland )

 

Dear Mum & Dad,

I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin' on the farm - tell them to get in ****** quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don't hafta get outta bed until 6am, but I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No ****** cows to milk, no calves to feed, no feed to stack - nothin'!!

 

Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there's lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing!

 

At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there's no kangaroo steaks or possum stew like wot Mum makes. You don't get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we've been on a '15 mile route march - geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the back paddock!!

 

This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin' - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a ****** possum's arrse and it don't move and it's not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - it's a piece of ****** cake!! You don't even load your own cartridges, they comes in little boxes, and ya don't have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload!

 

Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it's not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster.

 

Turns out I'm not a bad boxer either and it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got, and I've only been beaten by this one

bloke from the Engineers - he's 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I'm only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin' wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer.

 

I can't complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how ****** good it is.

 

Will wright again soon,

 

Your loving daughter,

 

 

 

Sheila

Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Johnny asked, 'Dad, why are you doing that?' His father replied, 'Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.' Johnny, looking worried, said, 'Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom.'

She asked the teller, 'Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo

yen. Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?'

The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, 'Fluctuations.'

The Asian lady says, 'Fluc you white people too!'

Ancient tribal wisdom will have it that "upon discovering you are riding a dead horse, it is best to dismount and find another horse".

 

Here in South Africa, more sophisticated strategies are employed, like the following:

 

1. Buy a stronger, more expensive whip.

2. Change the jockey.

3. Appoint a committee who will study the horse.

4. Appoint a commission to visit other countries to see how they ride dead horses.

5. Lower standards so dead horses are also included.

6. Re-classify dead horses as "pulsationally challenged".

7. Appoint contractors to ride the dead horse.

8. Harness several more dead horses in order to improve the performance of the dead horse.

9. Provide more money and/or education in order to improve the dead horse's performance.

10. Do a productivity study to determine whether lighter jockeys will improve the dead horse's performance.

11. Review the expected performance requirements for dead horses.

12. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.

If the above made perfect sense to you, then you are a South African.

Fu Lin's Laws of Project Management

 

1. When riding a horse, you are very likely to wind up in the direction that the horse is walking.

 

2. If the horse is headed in the wrong direction, then the only action of any value is to change the direction of the horse.

 

3. Beating the horse, or making it go slower or faster, will not change the direction of the horse.

 

4. Bringing the horse to a total stop may avoid going over the cliff, but renders the entire idea of 'riding a horse' rather pointless.

 

5. If the horse does go over the cliff, the rider will blame the horse.

More Irish jokes forwarded through email..

 

Irish Shopping

 

McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, the Irishman started to leave.

 

"S' cuse me", said a customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done, "what was that all about?"

 

"Nothin', said the Irishman, "the wife just sent me out for a jar of olives."

 

 

Irish Prayer

 

Murphy was staggering home with a pint of booze in his back pocket when he slipped and fell heavily. Struggling to his feet, he felt something wet running down his leg.

 

"Please Lord," he implored, "let it be blood!!"

 

 

No excuse

 

An Irishman had been drinking at a pub all night. The bartender finally said that the bar is closing. So the Irishman stood up to leave and fell flat on his face. He tried to stand one more time; same result. He figured he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up. Once outside, he stood up and fell on his face again. So he decided to crawl the four blocks home. When he arrived at the door he stood up and fell flat on his face. He crawled through the door and into his bedroom. When he reached his bed he tried one more time to stand up. This time he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly fell right into the bed and is sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

 

He was awakened the next morning to his wife standing over him, shouting, "SO YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING AGAIN!"

 

Putting on an innocent look, and intent on bluffing it out he said, "What makes you say that?"

 

"The pub just called; you left your wheelchair there."

 

 

Lost at Sea

 

Two Irishmen, Patrick & Michael, were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, Patrick stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of Patrick, a genie came forth.

 

This particular genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter, Patrick blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into Guinness Beer!" The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the genie vanished.

 

Only the gentle lapping of Guinness on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances. Michael looked disgustedly at Patrick whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension-filled moment, he spoke: "Nice going Patrick! Now we're going to have to pee in the boat!"

A DEA officer stops at a ranch in Montana and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown

drugs."

 

The old rancher says, "Okay, but don't go in that field over there," as he points out the location.

 

 

The DEA officer verbally explodes, saying, "Mister, Let me tell you something, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me."

 

Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the farmer.

 

"See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish .... on any land .... no questions asked or answers given ... have I made myself clear? Do YOU understand me?"

 

The old rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.

 

A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased, close behind, by the rancher's prize bull. With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he'll get "horned" before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified.

 

The old rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....

 

"Your BADGE! Show him your badge!"
