To Do List


When I returned home from college for a break, I noticed a paper posted on the refrigerator. It listed some goals my dad had set for himself: Help wife more; lose weight; be more productive at work.

I promptly added: "Send Michelle money every month."


A few days later my brother wrote: "Make payments on car for Jason."


Then my boyfriend joined in with: "Buy Tom a Jeep."


Finally my father added a new goal to his amended list: "Wean kids."

Fireman


Felix, my husband, was playing golf with our town's fire chief when he hit a ball into the rough. As Felix headed for the brush to find his ball, the chief warned him, "Be careful, the rattlesnakes are out."

The chief explained that calls had been coming in all week requesting assistance with removing the snakes.


"You've got to be kidding," Felix replied in astonishment. "People actually call the fire department to help them with rattlesnakes? What do you say to them?"


"Well," said the chief, "the first thing I ask is, 'Is it on fire?'"

Baseball


Jimmy Piersall, on how to diaper a baby:

"Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond, with you at bat.


Then, fold second-base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound.


Put first-base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together.


Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call-the-game and start all over again."

Interesting Pets


A man is driving down the highway and passes a state motorcycle officer.

The officer notices the man and also sees that he has 4 penguins in the backseat of the car. The officer chases down the car and pulls the man over, and after a short inspection of the vehicle says to the driver "what are you doing with 4 penguins in your car?"


To which the man replies "Just taking them for a ride officer."


Visibly upset, the cop instructs the man to take the penguins to the zoo.


The next day the same man is driving down the same highway and is spotted by the same motorcycle cop. Again the cop gives chase and pulls the car over and upon inspection sees the same 4 penguins in the backseat only this time the penguins are wearing bright colored swim trunks and sun glasses.


The cop, really ticked off this time, says, "I thought I told you to take those penguins to the zoo yesterday"


The man smiles and replies, "I did! They liked that so much that today I decided to take them to the beach!"

The Pirate


A sailor meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns recounting their adventures at sea. Noting the pirate's peg-leg, hook, and eye patch, the sailor asks, "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"

The pirate replies "We was caught in a monster storm off the cape and a giant wave swept me overboard. Just as they were pullin' me out, a school of sharks appeared and one of 'em bit me leg off".


"Blimey!" said the sailor. "What about the hook?"


"Ahhhh...", mused the pirate, "We were boardin' a trader ship, pistols blastin' and swords swingin' this way and that. In the fracas me hand got chopped off."


"Zounds!" remarked the sailor. "And how came ye by the eye patch?"


"A seagull droppin' fell into me eye", answered the pirate.


"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.


"Well..." said the pirate, "..it was me first day with the hook."

Sneak's Slip 'N Slang - Nanatechnology


Nanatechnology: the effect of design completion by banana gas - usually manifested as ripening, but in this case applied to slightly broken things kept in a drawer for months in the hope that they will work again when you take them out next year sometime. Batteries and floppy disks are examples of things you'd put in a drawer instead of throwing away when they don't work. 

Example: Most of us who are into technology in the slightest have probably gone down the road of pretending this idea is baked.
Most of us have put broken items, flat batteries, non-working floppy discs etc. into a certain drawer we have. Where, along with all the other mixed up items, coaxial ethernet cards, pocket lasers that never get used, business cards, ancient CD-Roms and whatever else, miraculously the battery emerges many months later with a few minutes of life / the floppy is readable for long enough to rescue.
Goodness knows how this actually works - scientists currently think that it works by a kind of encoding based around the order and constituency of socks that have passed through the vortex, powered by a sort of cold fusion dissemination, using ball point pens as fuel. Or something.
Well, why not have an actual drawer with actual analytical powers, and hopefully the next step - resurrection powers. This could be achieved using nanatechnology. This is a form of technology that uses banana gas, to form catalytic actions based on the eventual outcome of the planned pattern of progress and design in an item.
Usually, this manifests itself in ripening - here, in our healing drawer however, it results in things 'getting better' in such a way that we all magically hope it would in any ordinary passive drawer.
That it does in ordinary drawers, to some extent, could be explained by the likelihood that you, or someone in your street, has had some bananas around at some point during the object's hibernation in your drawer.

Hospital Report


An elderly gentleman was reading his recovery-room record at the hospital where I work.

He looked quite concerned at one notation.


"I know I was in a bit of a muddle, but I didn't realize I was that bad," he said to me apologetically. "I hope I didn't offend anyone."


He was greatly relieved when I explained the acronym in question meant "Short Of Breath" and not what he thought.

Perfection


The preacher said, "There's no such thing as a perfect woman. Anybody present who has ever known a perfect woman, stand up."

Nobody stood up.


"Those who have ever known a perfect man, stand up."


One elderly gentleman stood up.


"Are you honestly saying you knew an absolutely perfect man?" he asked, somewhat amazed.


"Well now, I didn't know him personally," replied the little old man, "but I have heard a great deal about him. He was my wife's first husband."

Philosophy & The Talented Doggie


An optimist sees the best in the world, while a pessimist sees only the worst. An optimist finds the positive in the negative, and a pessimist can only find the negative in the positive.

For example, an avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him.


He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his new dog.


As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. They fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet. This continued all day long; each time a duck fell, the dog walked across the surface of the water to retrieve it.


The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything, but did not say a single word.


On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog?"


"I sure did," responded the pessimist. "He can't swim."

Bidding Higher


One day a man went to an auction. While there, he bid on a parrot. He really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher.

Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid - the parrot was his at last!


As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the Auctioneer, "I sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out that he can't talk!"


"Don't worry." said the Auctioneer, "He can talk. Who do you think kept bidding against you?"

Ways To Maintain Sanity


Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.

Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.


Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.


Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard Kim.


When the money comes out the ATM, scream "I won!", "I won!", "Third time this week!"


When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "run for your lives, they're loose!!"


Tell your children over dinner. "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."

Ways to Keep Your Sanity

At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.


Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "in."


Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

Amazing Longevity


A man walked up to a little old woman rocking in a chair on her porch. "I couldn't help noticing how happy you look," he said. "What's your secret for a long happy life?"

"I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day," she said. "I also drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fatty foods, and never exercise."


"That's amazing," the man said. "How old are you?'"


"Twenty-six!" she said.

Scoring

100-90% pure: You were born before 1970.

89-80% pure: You use Facebook for the games, or to post that really interesting article you naively think other people will care about.

79-70% pure:  You friend people and accept friend requests pretty frequently, and will sign on if you have a new notification. Sometimes you will use it to procrastinate, but you otherwise would rather spend your time elsewhere.

69-60% pure: You think Facebook is a great “networking tool.” You friend most everyone you meet, and have definitely spent the odd night looking up people you used to know.

59-50% pure:  You post albums, read your newsfeed when you’re bored, and will spend a good amount of time on the profiles of people who are important to your life.

49-40% pure: You post albums, read your newsfeed obsessively, and will spend a good amount of time on the profiles of people who have absolutely no bearing on your life. You use a variety of Facebook features, including games, quizzes, photo uploading, group management, etc. You user your Facebook Status as a pseudo-blog and frequently broadcast details of your life.

39-30% pure: You’ve considered giving up Facebook because you’re mildly perturbed by the amount of time you’ve spent getting sucked into the albums of people you went to high school with. You console yourself with the notion that “surely everyone stalks people on Facebook?”

29-20% pure: You don’t really talk to other people about how much time you spend on Facebook. You look people up the second you meet them, or even hear about them. You’ve figured out how to find and access the pictures of people you aren’t even friends with. You wonder if Facebook actually does you mental harm, because you’ve gotten depressed while stalking mutual acquaintences and exes. You hope your life looks as fun and happy on Facebook as other people’s lives seem to.

19-10% pure: You don’t understand how people lived without Facebook. You use it as a tool to find out information and disseminate information about yourself. You get excited for Wedding and Vacation albums that you know are coming but haven’t even been posted yet. You carefully curate your own Facebook page, and your favorite part of your birthday is seeing all your Facebook greetings, which you count, and compare to how many your friends got. You believe everyone on Facebook is fair game.

9%-0% pure: You logged on to Facebook in the Summer of 2004 and have not signed off since.

Nick Helms Password Joke Voted Funniest


Comedian Nick Helm has won an award for the best joke of the Edinburgh Fringe.

The up-and-coming funnyman was given the prize by digital TV channel Dave, whose panel put a selection of their favourites to a public vote.
He won for the joke: "I needed a password eight characters long so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarves."

Last year's winner, quick-fire joker Tim Vine, was beaten into second place by Helm.

Helm said: "I knew my joke was the funniest joke of all the other jokes in 2011.
"Thank you to Dave and all the people that voted for proving me right."

Veteran entertainer Paul Daniels won the wooden spoon for the worst joke of the festival.

He won the dubious honour for his gag: "I said to a fella 'Is there a B&Q in Henley?' He said 'No, there's an H, an E, an N an L and a Y'."

The top 10 festival funnies were judged to be:
