From Bromham in Bedford comes a story of a couple who drove their Swallow Doretti to the Tesco supermarket, only for the car to break down in the car park. The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in situ. The wife returned later to see a group of girls standing by the car, evidently amused by something. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of legs protruding from under the chassis. Although he was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, put her hand up his shorts and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the bonnet and found herself staring at her husband who was coming back from the toilet. The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead. |

A senior citizen from Rushden in Northamptonshire drove his Austin Healey 3000 only on sunny days and with his wife's permission. Taking off down the road, he waited until well away from home territory and floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. 'Love it !' he thought as he reached 95 mph, drifting around the bend. Then he saw a police car in his rear view mirror, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. 'I can get away from him, no problem !" thought the elderly nutcase as he floored it to 100 mph. Then he thought 'What on earth am I doing ? I'm too old for this nonsense !' He pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the Officer to catch up with him. Pulling in behind the Healey, the Officer walked up to the driver's side of the car, looked at his watch and said 'Sir, my shift ends in 15 minutes. Today is Friday. It will take us half an hour to process the ticket. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go.' The Healey hero said : 'Years ago, my wife ran off with the Chief constable. I thought you were bringing her back.' 'Have a good day Sir,' said the Officer. |

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to be just eight again" she replied, wistfully. On the morning of her birthday he got up early, made her a big bowl of Coco Pops followed by her favourite toast and marmalade and then took her off to the visiting St Giles fair. What a day ! He put her on every ride in the park, which included The Death Slide, The Wall of Fear and the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster. After candy floss and bumper cars, she staggered out of the fairground. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. They went to a McDonalds where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate milk shake. Then it was off to the movies to watch the latest Star Wars epic, accompanied by a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, her favourite lollies and M & M’s. Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed on the bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked "Well dear, what was it like being eight again ?" Her eyes slowly opened and her expression changed. "I meant my dress size”. |

Knowing his sweet tooth, Tommy's mother looked straight into his eyes and said, "I hope you didn't ask for a second piece of cake." "No" said Tommy," but I asked Mrs. Smith for the recipe so you could make some like it, and she gave me two more pieces without asking." My wife and I had words, but I didn't get to use mine. As my five year old son and I were headed to McDonald's, we passed a car accident. Usually when we see something terrible like that, we say a prayer for those who might be hurt, so I pointed and said to my son, "We should pray." From the back seat I heard his earnest request - "Please God, don't let those cars block the entrance to McDonald's." God made man before woman so as to give him time to think of an answer for her first question. I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one (DW-S) |

Background music from Susie Quattro singing "The Devil Get Down, Devil Get Down . . " George Bush has a heart attack and dies. He goes to hell where the devil is waiting for him. "I'm not sure what to do," says the devil. "You're on my list but I've no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'm going to have to let someone else go. I've got three folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place." George thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed. The devil opened the first door. In the room was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and climbing out, over and over. Such was his fate in hell. "No" George said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and don't think I could do that all day long."
The devil led him to the second room, where Tony Blair stood with a sledge hammer and a floor full of rocks. All he did was smash rocks all day. "I'd be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all the time" commented George. The devil opened a third door. George saw Bill Clinton lying on the floor with his arms secured over his head and his legs staked in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. George Bush looked at this in disbelief for a while, but finally said,"Yeah,
I can handle this." |

The gangster jumped up on the driver's side, with the truck in motion, and stuck a gun in the drivers face. The driver opened the door and knocked the attempted thief off. He lost his balance and fell under the wheels of the truck. The driver slammed on his brakes, got out and took these pictures on his Fuji disposable camera. courtesy of Adrian Critten |
Some GTS Equipe drivers decided to save money when they went to France and sleep two to a room. However, no-one wanted to room with Clive because he snored so loudly, as everyone knew from his wife Sue. They decided it was not fair to make one of them stay with him for three nights, so they voted to take turns. Jim slept with Clive on Thursday night, and came down to breakfast the next morning with bloodshot eyes and an obvious lack of sleep. The other drivers said,"Blimey, is it that bad ?" |

A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered late one night. On their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labour pain to the father, and asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favour if it. When the labour began at 4am, the doctor set the pain transfer to 10% to begin with, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain that the father had ever experienced before. But as the labour progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer. The husband will still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this point they decided to try for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since the pain transfer was obviously helping the wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain at 6.00am after just two hours in labour. She and her husband were ecstatic. |

David & Goliath . . The pilot of a single engined, four seater Cherokee 180 was told by the control tower to hold short of the runway while a Boeing 747 landed. The 747 landed, rolled out, turned around and taxied back past the Cherokee. The co-pilot comedian in the Boeing crew broadcast over the radio and said, "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself ?" Our hero the Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with "I made it out of Boeing 747 parts. Another landing like that and I'll have enough parts for some more." |
