RE: The Off Topic Thread - Dingle-Dingle - 24-09-2023 Why isn’t the number 11 pronounced onety-one? If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one out of five enjoys it? Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with? If people from Poland are called Poles, then why aren't people from Holland called Holes? If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a race car is not called a racist? If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for? If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed? Do Lipton Tea employees take 'coffee breaks?' What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men? I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use, Toothpicks? Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail? Is it true that you never really learn to swear until you learn to drive? If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose? Whatever happened to Preparations A through G? ****** Why, Why, Why do we press harder on the remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak? Why do banks charge a fee due to insufficient funds; when they already know you're broke? Why is it that when someone tells you that there are one billion stars in the universe you believe them, but if they tell you there is wet paint you have to touch it to check? Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him? Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Whose cruel idea was it to put an "s" in the word "lisp"? If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes? Why is it that, no matter what color bubble bath you use, the bubbles are always white? Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale? Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized? Why do people run over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it and then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance? How do those dead bugs get into the enclosed light fixtures? Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over? Why, in winter, do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat? REMEMBER, A day without a smile is like a day without sunshine! And a day without sunshine is, like...........night!!!! DD#No1 RE: The Off Topic Thread - talkSAFT - 25-09-2023 You've wiped the misery out of my hangover, DD. (Still got a headache, but thanks!) RE: The Off Topic Thread - Dingle-Dingle - 27-09-2023 Saw a sofa in the store today and really liked it. I asked the sales girl about it and she siad it would seat 5 people without any problems. I didn`t buy it. I don`t think I know 5 people without any problems. DD#No1 RE: The Off Topic Thread - Dingle-Dingle - 12-10-2023 Unashamedly stolen but too good to miss........ "Rooney was asked what he was looking forward to in Birmingham . He replied that he was looking forward to going to the Balti quarter as it was famous for its Nan's" DD#No1 RE: The Off Topic Thread - Dingle-Dingle - 31-10-2023 A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich. The barman looks at him and says, "Hang on! You're a duck." "I see your eyes are working," replies the duck. "And you can talk!" Exclaims the barman. "I see your ears are working, too," Says the duck. "Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?" "Certainly, sorry about that," says the barman as he pulls the duck's pint. "It's just we don't get many ducks in this pub.. What are you doing round this way?" "I'm working on the building site across the road," Explains the duck. "I'm a plasterer." The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it. So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the barman good day and leaves. The same thing happens for two weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town. The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him "You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!" "Sounds marvellous, “says the ringmaster, handing over his business card. "Get him to give me a call." So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says, "Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money." "I'm always looking for the next job," Says the duck. "Where is it?" "At the circus," Says the barman. "The circus?" Repeats the duck. "That's right," Replies the barman. "The circus?" The duck asks again. With the big tent?" "Yeah," the barman replies. "With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who live in caravans?" says the duck. "Of course," the barman replies. "And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?" persists the duck. "That's right!" says the barman. The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says .. . ......... "What would they want with a plasterer??!" DD#No1 RE: The Off Topic Thread - Dingle-Dingle - 01-11-2023 Even after I went bald I kept my comb. I just can`t part with it. DD@No1 RE: The Off Topic Thread - Dingle-Dingle - 17-11-2023 Have been thinking about building a fishpond, so have been reading up about all types of fish. Apparently in the wild Koi carp always travel in groups of 4. If attacked Koi ,A,B,and C will scatter in different directions, leaving the D koi behind. DD#No1 RE: The Off Topic Thread - talkSAFT - 18-11-2023 RE: The Off Topic Thread - Salopbaggie - 24-11-2023 Took a girl from Wolverhampton out to dinner for the first time tonight, I took her coat and passed it to the waiter, she sat and I asked if I could push her stool in. She replied "lets see how dinner goes first". RE: The Off Topic Thread - Dingle-Dingle - 25-11-2023 Growing up as a kid I was told in the future Robots (AI) would be mans greatest asset in the world of work. Humans would have much more leisure time. Well it`s here, but somethings gone terribly wrong. Man`s still working had to earn a living, meanwhile AI is creating masterpiece paintings and sculptures and writing novels. DD#No1 |
