    I went for a job interview at the funeral directors today and the boss said, "What makes you think you're suitable for this job?"

    I replied, "Well I once had a job delivering pizzas, so I'm used to driving slow with something cold in a box."

      I bought my wife a friendly little robot to help her with the housework.

      It's red and it's called Henry.

        When I walked in the house I was greeted by the wife holding a can of beer and smiling at me, suspiciously I asked "what's this for?"

        "my sister saw you chatting to the new barmaid at the local so she moved behind you to hear what you were saying "

        " oh really? and what did she hear? "

        " the barmaid asked what I was like and you said I looked like Sue Barker! now sit down, I've made your favourite for dinner and after you're getting that blow job you keep asking for"

        I cracked open my beer and thought it was a good job the pub was noisy, I didn't say Sue, I said Chew

          Subject: Lion Tamer

          A circus owner runs an ad for a lion tamer and two people show up.

          One is a good looking, older retired golfer in his late sixties and the
          other is a gorgeous blond in her mid-twenties.

          The circus owner tells them, "I'm not going to sugar coat it. This is
          one ferocious lion. He ate my last tamer so you two had better be good
          or you're history. Here's your equipment -- chair, whip and a gun. Who
          wants to try out first?"

          The girl says, "I'll go first." She walks past the chair, the whip and
          the gun and steps right into the lion's cage. The lion starts to snarl
          and pant and begins to charge her. About halfway there, she throws open
          her coat revealing her beautiful naked body.

          The lion stops dead in his tracks, sheepishly crawls up to her and
          starts licking her feet and ankles. He continues to lick and kiss her
          entire body for several minutes and then rests his head at her feet.

          The circus owner's jaw is on the floor. He says, "I've never seen a
          display like that in my life."

          He then turns to the retired golfer and asks, "Can you top that?"

          The tough old golfer replies, "No problem, just get that lion out of
          there."

            I failed a Health and Safety course at work today.
            One of the questions was: "In the event of a fire, what steps would you
            take?"
            "Big ones" was apparently the wrong answer!

            Adopt a Terrorist - an interesting alternative

            A Canadian female libertarian wrote a lot of letters to the Canadian government, complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in
            Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to
            her letter correspondence.

            She received back the following reply:

            National Defence Headquarters
            M Gen George R. Pearkes Bldg., 15 NT
            101 Colonel By Drive
            Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2
            Canada

            Dear Concerned Citizen,

            Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of
            treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian
            Forces who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan Government and
            are currently being held by Afghan officials in Afghanistan National
            Correctional System facilities.

            Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were
            heard loud and clear here in Ottawa . You will be pleased to learn,
            thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new
            department here at the Department of National Defence, to be called
            'Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers' program, or L.A.R.K. for short.

            In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to
            divert one terrorist and place him in your personal care.

            Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for
            transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in Toronto next
            Monday.

            Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared
            for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of
            complaint!

            It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers.

            We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care
            for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your
            letter. Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that
            your sensitivity to what you described as his 'attitudinal problem' will
            help him overcome these character flaws.

            Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural
            differences.

            We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.

            Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and
            can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail
            clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at
            your next yoga group.

            Please advise any Jewish friends, neighbors or relatives about your house
            guest, as he might get agitated or even violent, but we are sure you can
            reason with him.

            He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from
            common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up,
            unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.

            Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except
            sexually) since he views females as a subhuman form of property thereby
            having no rights, including refusal of his sexual demands.

            This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been known to
            show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the new dress
            code that he will "recommend" as more appropriate attire.

            I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka over
            time. Just remember that it is all part of 'respecting his culture and
            religious beliefs' as described in your letter.

            Thanks again for your concern.

            We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper
            way to do our job and care for our fellow man.

            You take good care of Ahmed and remember we'll be watching.

            Good luck and God bless you.

            Cordially,

            Gordon O'Connor
            Minister of National Defence

              The wife wanted to try a bit of role reversal in the bedroom.

              I hated it though, I just sat there half the night with my arms folded while she was down the pub.

                The older, the wiser we become?

                As I was lying around, pondering the problems of the world,

                I realized that at my age I don't really give a rat's ass anymore.

                .. If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.

                .. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, but is still fat.

                .. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while

                .. A tortoise doesn't run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years.

                And you tell me to exercise?? I don't think so.

                Just grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,

                the good fortune to remember the ones I do, and the

                eyesight to tell the difference.

                Now that I'm older here's what I've discovered:

                1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

                2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.

                3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart.

                4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

                5. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

                6. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it ?

                7. It was a whole lot easier to get older, than to get wiser.

                8. Some days, you're the top dog; some days you're the hydrant.

                9. I wish the buck really did stop here; I sure could use a few of them.

                10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.

                11. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.

                12. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.

                13. The world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom.

                14. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess.

                15. It's not hard to meet expenses . . . they're everywhere.

                  As the doctor went through my notes, he said, "The surgery has risks. You will almost certainly regain the sight in your eyes but there is a chance it will affect your ability to maintain an erection."
                  I said, "How come?"
                  He said, "Well ... your wife is very ugly."

                    As yet, the shop wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up.

                    One said to the other, "I bet any minute now some pensioner is going to walk by, put their face to the window, and ask what we're selling."
                    No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious old woman walked to the window, had a peek, and in a soft voice asked:
                    [​IMG]
                    "What are you selling here?"
                    One of the men replied sarcastically, "We're selling arseholes."
                    Without skipping a beat, the old dear said, "Must be doing well... Only two left."

                      Michael O'Leary of Ryanair goes into a Dublin pub and asks for a pint of Guinness.

                      "That'll be two Euros," says the barman.

                      "That's a very reasonable price," replies O'Leary.

                      "Would you like a glass with that sir?" asks the barman

                        A Redneck went to the Hospital , as his wife was having a baby.
                        Upon arriving, he sat down as the Nurse said to him,

                        "Congratulations, your Wife has had Quintuplets, five big baby boys".

                        The Redneck said, "I'm Not Surprised, I have a penis the size of a chimney".

                        The Nurse Replied---,

                        "You might want to Consider getting it Cleaned",
