When Celine Dion walkes into the bar they also said: "Why the long face?"
What is the difference between a dog on the back porch howling and a woman on the front porch screaming and yelling?
When you let the dog in it shuts up!
Here's a true story for Grazie (one of the seven, but witch):
Theatrical orchestra having a break.
The theatre owner comes in.
"I'm thinking of selling the piano. What do you think I can get for it?"
Pianist: "You ought to get a 6 month sentence for it."
A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet and says, "My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?" "Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him." So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says "I'm going to have to put him down." "What?, Because he's cross-eyed?" "No, because he's really heavy"
A gorilla walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender, with a smirk on his face, takes advantage of the situation..."uhh, that'll be $10".
The gorilla pays the bartender and sips quietly on his beer.
The bartender, amazed at the gorillas' abilities strolls over to the gorilla and says "you know, we don't get much of your kind in here".
The gorilla looks up and says "I can see why at $10 a beer!"
Not only do I know that Bar --- I'll tell you why. . . . the Primate tipped me the wink about the prices - Outrageous!!! - Just because it's Christmas too! - HAH!
A guy comes home to find a gorilla on the roof of his garage, so he calls a private gorilla catcher. The gorilla catcher shows up twenty minutes later, steps out of his truck and starts unloading his gear which consists of a pole, a net, a pit-bull and a .45. The home owner seeing the odd assortment of gear asks what it's for. The gorilla catcher explains, "This is how it works, I go up on the roof and use the pole to push the gorilla off the roof, he (the gorilla) falls off, and as soon as he hits the ground the pit bull immobilizes him by biting his nuts, then I come down, throw the net over the gorilla and take him away." The man, clearly impressed says "Wow, that's cool - what happens if YOU fall off the roof?” The Gorilla catcher hands the man the .45 and says "That's where you come in". :-P
By following this simple advice, I have finally found Inner Peace: "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started."
So, I looked around the house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished...and before coming to work this morning I have finished off a bottle of Bacardi, a bottle of red wine, a bottle of JackDaniel's, my Prozac, a small box of chocolates, and a pizza.
You have to be very proud to be British because...
Only in Britain... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in Britain... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the
back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy
cigarettes at the front.
Only in Britain... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a
DIET coke.
Only in Britain... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.
Only in Britain...do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive
and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
Only in Britain... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then
have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to
talk to in the first place.
Only in Britain... are there disabled parking places in front of a Skating rink.
Thanks for bringing this all into "Focus" by posting your ironic comments above.
IMHO you have brought brevity and sanity to what was a light and frothy thread. Heaven knows where it could have ended up?!? Y'know Zcheema, I'll shall always now think of you as a sensible, valuable influence on this Forum. I recognise your honesty. Maybe I should have realised this when I started the thread off in the first place.
This just in...charges against Mr. Brown, arrested yesterday for sexual assault, were dismissed for lack of evidence. However, the 75 year old Mr. Brown has been charged for assault with a dead weapon.
