In the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and one Christian.
The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that inhabited the area. Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm fed up with being a prawn. I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten."
A large mysterious cod appeared and said, "Your wish is granted", and lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate. Time passed and Justin found life as a shark boring and lonely. All his old mates swam away whenever he came close. Justin did not realise that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight. While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again and he thought perhaps the fish could change him back into a prawn. He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn. With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail. Looking around the gathering at the reef he realised he couldn not see his old pal. "Where's Christian ?" he asked. "He's at home, still distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark", came the reply. Eager to put things right, he set off to Christian's home. As he opened the coral gate memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again." |

'Three nil, three nil, three nil . . ' Three Scottish and three English soccer supporters were going to Wembley. At the train station, the three Scots each buy a single and watch as the three Englishmen buy just one ticket between them. "How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket ?" asks one of the Scots. "Watch and learn," answers one of the Englishmen. They all board the train, the Scotsmen take their respective seats but all three Englishmen cram into a loo and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed the conductor arrives to collect the tickets. He knocks on the loo door and says, "Ticket please." The door opens slightly and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The Scots are mightily impressed, and after the game they drown their usual sorrows, have little money left, and decide to repeat the Englishmen's trick. When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, however, the Englishmen do not buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket ?" asks one perplexed Scot. "Watch and learn," says one of the Englishmen. The train departs, the three Englishmen cram into a loo, and the three Scots pile into another one nearby. Shortly afterwards, one of the Englishmen sneaks out of the loo, knocks on the door of the loo in which the Scots are hiding, and says, "Ticket please . ." |
Paul had been in the historic car business for 20 years. His ever-forgiving wife finally had enough of him spending all their money on his valuable collection of historic cars, while she drove around in a rusty old heap. She threw him out, sold his cars to his friends and sent him on his way. He buys 50 acres of land in Alaska as far from humanity as possible. He sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. After six months of almost total isolation, someone knocks on his door. He opens it and a huge, unkempt and very hairy man is standing there. "Name's Lars, your neighbour, forty miles up the road. Having a Christmas party Friday night. Thought you might like to come. 'Bout
5 o'clock." "Great", says Paul, "after six months out here I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you." As Lars is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn you. Be some drinkin'."" Not a problem" says Paul. "I once went beer for beer with 'Spadge' Hopkins. I made him look like a lightweight. I can drink
with the best of 'em."Again, the big man starts to leave, and stops again. "More 'n' likely gonna be
some fightin' too.""No problem" says Paul. "I get along with people, I'll be all right. I'll be there, thanks again.". Lars says "More'n likely be some wild sex, too,". "Now that's really not a problem" says Paul, warming to the idea "I've been
all alone for six months. I'll definitely be there. W hat should I wear ?"
"Don't much matter. Just gonna be the two of us."

'Keep Ya Motor Runnin' . . ' A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the engine of a class A motorhome when he spotted a well known heart surgeon in his shop. The surgeon was waiting for the service manager to take a look at his RV when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question ?" The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorhome. The mechanic asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage and then put them back in, and when I finish it works just like new. So how come I'm paid so little compared to you when we're doing basically the same work ? The surgeon smiled and said to the mechanic, "Try doing it with the engine running." courtesy of Adrian Critten |

Scentsible . . A salesman was driving home from a business trip in Northern Arizona when he saw an elderly Navajo indian man walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, he stopped the car and asked the Navajo if he would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the elderly indian got into the car. Resuming the journey, the salesman tried in vain to make small talk. The tired old man just sat silently, looking intently at everything he saw, studying every little detail, until he noticed a brown bag on the seat next to the salesman. "What is in bag ?" he asked. The salesman said, "It's a small bottle of perfume. I got it for my wife." The Navajo indian was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, he said, "Sounds like good trade". |
In The Saddle . . The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven. At the gates, St Peter told Arthur, "You've been a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world. You can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven." Arthur thought about it and said "I want to hang out with God." St Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room and introduced him to God. God recognised Arthur and commented, "So you were the one who invented the Harley Davidson motorcycle ?". Arthur said, "Yep, that's me." God said, "Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road ?" Arthur was apparently embarrassed, but he said, "Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman ?" God said, "Yes." "Professional to professional, "said Arthur, "you have some major design flaws in your invention. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusions, it chatters constantly at high speeds, most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble, the intake is placed way too close to the exhaust and the maintenance costs are enormous !". "Hmmm, you have some good points there," replied God, "Hold on." God went to His Celestial super computer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it. "Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours." |

"We have our own Le Mans and F1 recreations, and all the top dogs like Fangio and Senna race head to head". "Wow" says Paul. "Do you like drinking ?" asked the Demon. "Yes" said Paul. "Then you'll like Tuesdays too. We have our own Barley Mow and we have a huge session with Presley, Churchill and Munroe". "Blimey" says Paul. "If you gamble" says the Demon, "we have the Grand National, the Boat race, and the Ashes tests on Wednesdays, and unlimited credit in the Monte Carlo casino. And Thursday's are just blinding. We ski in the Alps, watch the Olympics and the Tour de France, go swimming in the Bahamas and have a doobie or two". "Fantastic" says Paul. "Are you gay ?" asks the Demon. "NO !" says Paul. "Ooh" says the Demon, "you're not going to like Fridays then . . !" |
Old Dogs, New Tickets . . Working people frequently ask retired folk what they do to make the time pass. Uncle Jim, for example, went into Chelmsford and to a shop in the High St. He was only in there for about two minutes. When he came out there was a traffic warden writing out a parking ticket on the Jaguar parked by the zebra crossing. Jim said to him, "Come on mate, how about giving a senior citizen a break ?" The warden explained why the ticket has to be issued and continued writing. Jim called him a Nazi. The warden glared at him and started writing another ticket for having worn tyres. Jim called him a piece of dog shit. The warden finished the second ticket and put it on the windscreen with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. The more Jim abused him, the more tickets were written. This went on for ten minutes until the warden finally left. Jim checked he had his return ticket and walked off to catch the train home. The doctor says he should try to have a little fun each day. It is important at his age. |

Then one day the circus comes to town. The ringleader of the circus comes into the pub and the landlord says to him, "You're with the circus aren't you ? I know this duck that would be brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer and everything !" "Sounds marvellous", says the ringleader, "get him to give me a call". Next day when the duck comes into the pub the landlord says, "Hey Mr Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money". "Yeah" says the duck, "Sounds great, where is it ?" "At the circus", says the landlord. "The circus ?" the duck enquires. "That's right", replies the landlord. "That place with the big tent ?" "Yeah" "With all the animals ?" "Of course" "With the big canvas roof with the hole in the middle", says the duck. "That's right" says the landlord. The duck looks confused. "What would they want with a brick layer ?" |

Loco Motive . . Two Indians and an Irishman were walking through the woods, when one of the Indians ran up a hill to the mouth of a small cave."Woooo Wooooo Wooooo" he called into the cave and listened closely until he heard an answering, "Wooooo Wooooo Wooooo" He then tore off his clothes and ran into the cave. The Irishman was puzzled and asked the remaining Indian what it was all about. "Was the other Indian crazy or what?" The Indian replied "No, it is our custom during mating season when Indian men see cave, they holler 'Wooooo Wooooo Wooooo' into the opening. If they get an answer back, it means there's a beautiful squaw in there waiting for us." Just then they came upon another cave. The second Indian ran up to the cave, stopped, and hollered, "Wooooo Wooooo Wooooo" Immediately, there was the nswer"Wooooo Wooooo Wooooo" from deep inside. He also tore off his clothes and ran into the opening. The Irishman wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then spied a third large cave. As he looked at the size of the huge opening, he was thinking, "Hoo, man ! Look at the size of this cave. It's bigger than those the Indians found. There must be some really big, fine women in this cave !" He stood in front of the opening and hollered with all his might. "Wooooo Wooooo Wooooo" Like the others, he then heard an answering call. "WOOOOO WOOOOO WOOOO". With a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face, he raced into the cave, tearing off his clothes as he ran. The following day, the headline of the local newspaper read - NAKED IRISHMAN RUN OVER BY TRAIN |

The neighbor was concerned, "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it ?" Timmy patted down the last heap of earth and said "That's because he's inside your cat ". |

With a blink of the Genie's eye, 'FOOM' - the land in Australia was forever made fertile for farming. The Frenchman was amazed. He said, "I want a wall around France, so that no one can come into our precious country." Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' - there was a huge wall around France. The American asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall." The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 150 feet high, 50 feet thick and nothing can get in or out."

A Pedigree Mongrel . . A man boarded an aircraft at Heathrow and took his seat. He noticed a beautiful woman boarding the plane, and gazed as she headed straight towards him and bingo - she took the seat right beside him. Eager to strike up a conversation, he blurted out, "Business trip or vacation ?" She turned, smiled enchantingly and said, "Business. I'm going to the annual 'Nymphomaniac Convention' in the United States". Here was the most gorgeous blonde he had ever seen, sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs ! Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention ?" "Lecturer," she responded. "I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality." "Really", he smiled, "what myths are those ?" "Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African American men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it's men of Greek descent. We also found that the best potential lovers in all categories are the Irish."
The woman became uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said, "I really shouldn't be discussing this with you, I don't even know your name." "Tonto," the man said. "Tonto Papadopoulos, but my friends call me Paddy . ." |

You have cancer, and it can't be cured. You'd best put your affairs in order." O'Malley was shocked, but being a solid character he managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into the waiting room, where his son was waiting. "Well son, we Irish celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don't go well. In this case, things aren't so well. I have cancer. Let's head to the pub and have a few pints." After a few pints the two were feeling a little less sombre. There were some laughs and some more beers. They were approached by some of O'Malley's friends, who were curious as to what the two were celebrating. O'Malley told them they were drinking to his impending end. He told his friends, "I have been diagnosed with AIDS." The friends gave O'Malley their condolences and they had a couple of more beers. After the friends left, O'Malley's son leaned over and whispered "Dad, I thought you told me that you were dying of cancer, and you just told your friends you were dying of AIDS ?" O'Malley said, "I don't want any of them sleeping with your Mother after I'm gone." |

Hemel Hemstead Revisited . . A motorist on his way home from work in London came to a stop in traffic and thought to himself, "This traffic seems worse than usual." He saw a police officer walking towards him and wound down his window "Officer, what's the trouble ?" The constable replied "Tony Blair is depressed, so he stopped his car and threatened to douse himself with petrol and set himself on fire. He says no one believes him, like why we went to war in Iraq, or there's no pensions crisis, or the worsening economy, or that his education reforms are going to do any good, or the health service is safe in his hands, or that immigration is under control, or that he`s not George Bush`s lapdog , or that his Party's proposed tax cuts won't help anyone except his wealthy friends.

There was one in particular where the food was fantastic." "Which one was that ? I'm asking 'cos my brother's a cab driver in New York and people are always asking him where to go to eat." "Oh, what was the name of it ? It's on the tip of my tongue. I just can't think at the minute." Becks racks his brains. His face then betrays a flash of inspiration and, leaning forward, he asks the cab driver, "What's the name of that big railway station in London ?" "Waterloo ?" ventures the cab driver. "No." "Paddington ?" "No." "Victoria ?" "That's IT," says Becks, becoming very animated, and turning to his wife. "Victoria, what was the name of that great restaurant we went to in New York ?" |

themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.
