Malcolm Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 The gynaecologist A middle-aged woman seemed sheepish as shevisited her gynecologist."Come now," coaxed the doctor, "you've been seeing me for years!There's nothing you can't tell me.""This one's kind of strange...""Let me be the judge of that," the doctor replied."Well," she said, "yesterday I went to the bathroom in the morning and heard a plink-plink-plink in the toilet and when I looked down, the water was full of five cent pieces.""I see.""That afternoon I went to the bathroom again and, plink-plink-plink, there were fifty cent coins in the bowl.""That night," she went on, "I went again,plink-plink-plink, and there were dollar coins and this morning there were two dollar coins! You've got to tell me what's wrong with me!" she implored,"I'm scared out of my wits!"The gynecologist put a comforting hand on her shoulder."There, there, it's nothing to be scared about..." "You're simply going through the change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 It had been raining for days and days, and a great flood had come over the land. The waters rose so high that one man was forced to climb onto the roof of his house. As the waters rose higher and higher, a man in a rowboat appeared, and told him to get in. “No,†replied the man on the roof. “I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me.†So the man in the rowboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him. The waters rose higher and higher, and suddenly a speedboat appeared. “Climb in!†shouted a man in the boat. “No,†replied the man on the roof. “I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me.†So the man in the speedboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him. The waters continued to rise. A helicopter appeared and over the loudspeaker, the pilot announced he would lower a rope to the man on the roof. “No,†replied the man on the roof. “I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me.†So the helicopter went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him. The waters rose higher and higher, and eventually they rose so high that the man on the roof was washed away, and alas, the poor man drowned. Upon arriving in heaven, the man marched straight over to God. “Heavenly Father,†he said, “I had faith in you… I prayed to you to save me, and yet you did nothing. Why?†God gave him a puzzled look, and replied “I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more did you expect?†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Somewhere, in some office or human resources department… an employee has had a performance evaluation. Most of the time these go well, with someone getting a raise or a boost in moral… other times… not so well. The following are actual quotes taken from various performance evaluation tests at a company (to remain anonymous). “Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.†“His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity.†“I would not allow this employee to breed.†“This associate is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won’t be.†“Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.†(My favourite) “He would be out of his depth in a parking lot puddle.†“This young lady has delusions of adequacy.†“He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.†“This employee should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better.†“This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 JOB DESCRIPTION : Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an, often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required. RESPONSIBILITIES : The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs £5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices. Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility. POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION : Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE : None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis. WAGES AND COMPENSATION: Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more. BENEFITS : While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play your cards right. POSITION : Mother, Mum, Mama, Mummy, Momma, Ma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepshagger Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Here are some conversations that the airline passengers don't hear. The following are accounts of actual exchanges between airline pilots and control towers around the world. ============================================= Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!" Delta 351: "Give us another hint! We have digital watches!" ============================================= "TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees." "Centre, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?" "Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?" ============================================== From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f...ing bored!" Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!" Unknown aircraft: "I said I was lumpsooker bored, not lumpsooker stupid!" ============================================== O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound." United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the little Fokker in sight." ============================================== A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, "What was your last known position?" Student: "When I was number one for takeoff." ============================================== A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down. San Jose Tower Noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take the Guadalupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport." =============================================== Taxiing down the tarmac, a DC-10 abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off. A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What, exactly, was the problem?" "The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," explained the flight attendant. "It took us a while to find a new pilot." =============================================== A Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following: Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?" Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English." Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?" Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bl**dy war." ============================================== One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee. Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?" The Cherokee pilot,not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one." =============================================== The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206. Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway." Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven." The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop. Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?" Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now." Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?" Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944,but it was dark,--and I didn't land." ===============================================While taxiing at London's Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming: "US Air 2771,where the hell are you going?! ! I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D,but get it right!" Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: "God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?" "Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded. Naturally the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind. Tension in every cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high. Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humptygrumpty Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 A German guy approaches a prostitute and says, "I vish to buy sex mit you." "OK" says the girl, "I charge £100 an hour." "Ist gut, but I must varn you, I am a little kinky." "No problem," she replies cautiously, "I can do a little kinky." So off they go to the girl's flat, where the German produces four large bedsprings and aduckcaller "I vant you to tie ze springs to each of your limbs." The girl finds this most odd, but complies, fastening the springs to her elbows and knees "Now you vill get on your hans und knees." She duly does this, balancing on the springs. "You vill please blow zis vistle as I make love to you." She find this odd, but it's harmless, and after all the guy is paying well. The sex is fantastic. She is bounced all over the room by the energetic German, all the time honking on the duck caller The climax is the most sensational that she has ever experienced and it is several minutes before she has recovered the breath to say: "That wastotallyamazing, where did you learn how to do that?" "Ah," says the German, "Four-sprung duck technique" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fraser Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Two bats, Pieter and Paulo, were hanging on a branch, desperately hungry. Loggers had recently moved into the forest, scaring all the creatures away, leaving them with nothing to feed off. Paulo decides to go further than they've ever been, right out to the edge of the forest, so hungry is he. After what seems quite a wait but is actually only ten minutes (as any wait is a long one to an emaciated bat), Paulo returns. Blood pours from his mouth. Pieter makes quite a song and dance about it, as hungry bats are wont to do when they've finally found food and, through his anticiptory dribbling, asks Paulo: "Where'd you get that blood from, then?"Paulo points off into the distance, to a large oak tree. "D'you see that sycamore?" He says, his once great knowledge of flora and fauna fading in his middle age."Yeah?" Says Pieter, his fangs quivering with excitement."Well I didn't."

sheepshagger Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 A stranger was seated next to a little girl on an airplane. Thestranger turned to her and said,'Let's talk. I've heard thatflights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellowpassengers.' The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly andsaid to the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?' Oh, I don't know', said the stranger, 'how about nuclear power?' 'OK,' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me askyou a question first.' 'A horse, a cow and a deer all eat grass,the same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cowturns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass.Why do you suppose that is?' The stranger thinks about it and says, 'Wow, I have no idea.' To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified todiscuss nuclear power when you don't know turd?'
