    The residents of Cyprus are protesting in the streets because the government are going to start taking money straight out of their bank accounts

    It's called a WIFE

        After the parliamentary expenses scandal was revealed in the newspapers David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg all pledged to ensure that it could never happen again.

        And this week they delivered- and set up a press regulator.

        I seen a status on Facebook today that said, "I'm jobless and totally unemployable."

        But they'd spelt it "Jus sitin down wit a cupa to wach jezza Kyle"

          I'm not completely sure this is a joke! (My favourites are surrealism and the Italians):
          SOCIALISM
          You have 2 cows.
          You give one to your neighbour

          COMMUNISM
          ... You have 2 cows.
          The State takes both and gives you some milk

          FASCISM
          You have 2 cows.
          The State takes both and sells you some milk

          NAZISM
          You have 2 cows.
          The State takes both and shoots you

          BUREAUCRATISM
          You have 2 cows.
          The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then
          throws the milk away

          TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
          You have two cows.
          You sell one and buy a bull.
          Your herd multiplies, and the economy
          grows.
          You sell them and retire on the income

          ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND (VENTURE) CAPITALISM
          You have two cows.
          You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by
          your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption
          for five cows.
          The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
          The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release.
          The public then buys your bull.

          SURREALISM
          You have two giraffes.
          The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

          AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
          You have two cows.
          You sell one, and force the other to
          produce the milk of four cows.
          Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why
          the cow has dropped dead.

          A GREEK CORPORATION
          You have two cows. You borrow lots of euros to build barns, milking sheds, hay stores, feed sheds,
          dairies, cold stores, abattoir, cheese unit and packing sheds.
          You still only have two cows.

          A FRENCH CORPORATION
          You have two cows.
          You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three
          cows.

          A JAPANESE CORPORATION
          You have two cows.
          You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce
          twenty times the milk.
          You then create a clever cow cartoon image called a Cowkimona and
          market it worldwide.

          AN ITALIAN CORPORATION
          You have two cows,
          but you don't know where they are.
          You decide to have lunch.

          A SWISS CORPORATION
          You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you.
          You charge the owners for storing them.

          A CHINESE CORPORATION
          You have two cows.
          You have 300 people milking them.
          You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity.
          You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.

          AN INDIAN CORPORATION
          You have two cows.
          You worship them.

          A BRITISH CORPORATION
          You have two cows.
          Both are mad.

          AN IRAQI CORPORATION
          Everyone thinks you have lots of cows.
          You tell them that you have none.
          No-one believes you, so they bomb the ** out of you and invade your country.
          You still have no cows, but at least you are now a Democracy.

          AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION
          You have two cows.
          Business seems pretty good.
          You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.

          A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION
          You have two cows.
          The one on the left looks very attractive...

            A Frustrated Wife buys a pair of Crotchless Panties in an attempt to Spice up her dead Sex Life.

            She puts them on ,together with a short skirt and sits on the Sofa opposite her husband.

            At Strategic Moments she uncrosses her legs, enough times till her husband says---


            "Are You Wearing Crotchless Panties?".:scratch:.


            "Y-E-S," she answers with a seductive smile.


            "Thank God For That-------- "

            "I thought you were sitting on the Cat" !!!!!!!..

                  Russian President Vladimir Putin has been nominated for a Nobel prize in Medicine for his work on clinical depression.

                  Apparently he can predict who will commit suicide the next week in London by just picking up his phone.

                    French Ban Fireworks at Euro Disney

                    (AP), Paris , March 5, 2003

                    The French Government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris , caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender to a group of Czech tourists.[/FONT][/B][/FONT][/SIZE]

                      Someone asked me, "Now that you're retired do you still have something to occupy your time?".

                      I replied, " Yes I am my wife's Sexual Counsellor".

                      Somewhat shocked,they said, "I beg your pardon,but what do you mean by that?".


                      "Very simple,the wife has told me that when she wants my f***ing advice she'll ask me for it";).

                        This year I hosted a Christmas Dinner for the family and everyone was encouraged to bring all the children including Grandchildren.

                        During Dinner,my five year old Granddaughter stared at me, sitting across from her.
                        The girl could hardly eat her food for staring.I checked my shirt for spots,felt my face for food,patted my hair in place, but nothing stopped her from staring at me.

                        I tried my best to just ignore her, but finally it was too much for me,I finally asked her.
                        "Why are you staring at me?"
                        Everyone at the table had noticed her behaviour and the table went quiet waiting for her response. My little Granddaughter said,

                        "I'm just waiting to see how you drink like a fish".
