I can't see an end. I have no control and I don't think there's any escape - I don't even have a home anymore.

Definitely time for a new keyboard.

News just in from Toontown is that Uncle Remus is in hospital following a nasty accident.





















He zipped his doo-dah.

Where I work, you could substitute "As part of the Green Living Incentive".

And what's the difference between a mother-in-law and a terrorist?







You can negotiate with a terrorist.

A man walked into a bar and heard a voice saying "Goodness, sir, you do look smart tonight." Immediately followed by another saying "No he doesn't, he's fat and ugly."

Baffled, he asked the barman "What on earth was that all about?"

The barman replied "Sorry sir; the peanuts are complimentary but the jukebox is out of order."

Typical British sense of humour Robert!

As a Canadian citizen, member of the venerable British Commonwealth, i caught it!

Speaking of politics!
We're in election time here ay!

Here's a classic that went live on the radio (i think, it was before my days, or very early days, back in the 60's if i'm not mistaken).

Réal Cayouette, head of the Parti Créditiste said something like this:
"Canada is standing on the edge of a precipe.
With the Creditists in power, we shall help it make a step forward!" Yay!
« Le Canada est au bord du précipice et avec les créditistes au pouvoir nous lui ferons faire un pas en avant ».

Proverbs

Has anyone else noticed how the proverbs "Look before you leap" and "He who hesitates is lost" contradict one another?

Some more proverbs rethought for modern times:

The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

People who live in glass houses had better have clean habits.

If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

To all the Newfie fans!

Patrick's pregnant sister was in a terrible car accident and went
into a deep coma.
After being in the coma for nearly six months, she wakes up and
sees that she is no longer pregnant.
Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby.
The doctor replies, 'Ma'am, you had twins ... a boy and a girl.
The babies are fine, however, they were poorly at birth, and had to be
christened immediately so your brother Patrick came in and named them.
The woman thinks to herself, ' Oh suffering Jesus, no, not me
brother, he's a clueless idiot!
Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor,' Well, what's my
daughter's name?
'Denise' says the doctor.
The new mother is somewhat relieved, 'Wow, that's a beautiful
name, I guess I was wrong about my brother', she thought ...'I really like
Denise '
Then she asks, ' What's the boy's name?'
The doctor replies ' Denephew '

Long live the Queen!

Anyway, I'm almost an ex-member of the Commonwealth too!

- - -

Not sure if this is British or American humour...

Friends of mine met a neighbour who had two of his little boys with him.
They asked the youngsters what their names were.

First one said Javed and the younger one replied Malyx.

Getting back home, the one friend said, hey if you switch a few letters you have:
Javex (to clean the outside) and Malox for the inside!
