3436 Lightening the mood

This one, I hope :) will be taken in good part by our Italian members....

What do you call it when an Italian has one arm shorter than the other?
A speech impediment.

Noah's Legal Troubles
or
Noah in the Modern Day

And the Lord spoke to Noah and said: "In six months I'm going to make it rain until the whole earth is covered with water and all the evil people are destroyed. But I want to save a few good people, and two of every kind of living thing on the planet. I am ordering you to build Me an Ark," said the Lord.

And in a flash of lightning He delivered the specifications for an Ark.

"OK," said Noah, trembling in fear and fumbling with the blueprints. "Six months, and it starts to rain" thundered the Lord. "You'd better have my Ark completed, or learn how to swim for a very long time."

And six months passed.

The skies began to cloud up and rain began to fall. The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard, weeping. And there was no Ark.

"Noah," shouted the Lord, "where is my Ark?" A lightning bolt crashed into the ground next to Noah, for emphasis.

"Lord, please forgive me," begged Noah. "I did my best. But there were big problems. First I had to get a building permit for the Ark construction project, and your plans didn't meet Code. So I had to hire an engineer to redraw the plans. Then I got into a big fight over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system. My neighbors objected claiming I was violating zoning by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission.

"Then I had a big problem getting enough wood for the Ark because there was a ban on cutting trees to save the Spotted Owl.

Then the carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board before anyone would pick up a saw or a hammer.
Now we got 16 carpenters going on the boat, and still no owls.

"Then I started gathering up the animals, and got sued by an animal rights group. They objected to me taking only two of each kind. Just when I got the suit dismissed, EPA notified me that I couldn't complete the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed Flood.

Then the Army Corps of Engineers wanted a map of the proposed new flood plain. I sent them a globe.

And the IRS (The tax authorities) has seized all my assets claiming I'm trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country, and I just got a notice from the state about owing some kind of use tax.

"I really don't think I can finish your Ark for at least another five years," Noah wailed.

The sky began to clear. The sun began to shine. A rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up and smiled. "You mean you're not going to destroy the earth?" Noah asked, hopefully.

"Wrong!" thundered the Lord. "But being Lord of the Universe has its advantages. I fully intend to smite the Earth, but with something far worse than a Flood. Something Man invented himself."

"What's that?" asked Noah.

There was a long pause, and then the Lord spoke:

"Government."

I LIKE DIVORCE "VERY QUICK"

A Polish man married an American girl after he had been in the United
States a year or so; and, although his English was far from perfect,
they got along very well. Until one day he rushed into a lawyer's
office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him -- "very
quick."

The lawyer said that the speed for getting a divorce would depend on the
circumstances, and asked him the following questions:

LAWYER: "Have you any grounds?"

POLE: "Yah, Yah, an acre and half and a nice little
home with 3 bedrooms."

LAWYER: "No," I mean what is the foundation of this case?"

POLE: "It is made of concrete, brick, and mortar,"
he responded.

LAWYER: "Does either of you have a real grudge?"

POLE: "No," he replied, "we have a two-car carport,
and have never really needed one."

LAWYER: "I mean, What are your relations like?"

POLE: "All my relations are in Poland."

LAWYER: "Is there any infidelity in your marriage?"

POLE: "Yes, we have hi fidelity stereo set and DVD
player with 5.1 sound. We don't necessarily like the music, but the
answer to your questions is yes."

LAWYER: "No, I mean Does your wife beat you up?"

POLE: "NO, I'm always up before her."

LAWYER: "Is your wife a nagger?"

POLE: "NO, she white."

LAWYER: "WHY do you want this divorce?"

POLE: "She going to kill me."

LAWYER: "What makes you think that?"

POLE: "I got proof.

LAWYER: "What kind of proof?"

POLE: "She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at
the drug store and put on shelf in bathroom. I can read -- it says,
"POLISH REMOVER"

OOOooooffffffffff

Who's in Charge?

All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge
"I should be in charge," said the brain , "because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen".
"I should be in charge," said the blood, "because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."
"I should be in charge," said the stomach," because I process food and give all of you energy."
"I should be in charge," said the legs , "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."
"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "because I allow the body to see where it goes."
"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I'm responsible for waste removal."
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight.
Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.
The Moral of the story?
The ***hole is usually in charge !!

OOOooooffffffffff

A coach tour driver is travelling with a bus load
of pensioners down the motorway
when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady.
She offers him a handful of peanuts,
which he gratefully munches up.

After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder
again and she hands him another handful of peanuts.

She repeats this gesture about five more times.

When she is about to hand him another batch,
he asks the little old lady,

" why don`t you eat the peanuts yourself?".

"We can't chew them because we've no teeth", she replied.

The puzzled driver asks,

"Why do you buy them then?"

The old lady replied,

"We just love the chocolate around them."

Loved the jokes!
As a blonde, I love blonde jokes so:

A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were. The blonde responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex.

Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?"

"HELLLOOOOOOO......," answered the blond. "They're watch dogs!"

and:

Two blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking........ and one blonde says to the other, "Which do you think is farther away..........Florida or the moon?"

The other blonde turns and says "Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida...?????"

:D Now just imagine if he'd had the ingenuity to link up to a charity web site and got a £1 donation from each voter!

[url]http://www.helpwinthisbet.com/[/url]

and amazingly this site is now getting hit about 300 times every 5 seconds! Unbelievable!

Just for you, Sarah

What did the blonde say when she found out she was pregnant?
"Are you sure it's mine?"

Being a red head, this has something for the both of us Sarah :)

A blonde suspects that her boyfriend is cheating on her, so she goes out and buys a gun. She goes to his apartment that same day, with the gun in hand. Sure enough, when she opens the door, she finds her boyfriend in the arms of a redhead. She points the gun at her boyfriend and stares him down for a moment.

Then, suddenly, she's overcome with grief, so she puts the gun up to the side her head. Her boyfriend screams, "Honey, don't do it..."

The blonde yells back, "Shut up! You're next!"

and some good advice ;)

A young man marrying a redhead asked his father for some marital advice. The father said, "Just remind her who wears the pants in your family." The evening arrived, the new husband tossed his pants to his bride and said, "Here put these on." She did and said "I don't fit into these." "That's right!" he said, "and don't you forget who wears the pants in this family!"

With that she flipped him her panties and said, "Try these on." He looked at them and said, "I can't get into your panties!" She said, "That's right - and you won't until your attitude changes!"

Well Russ - that site got a hit from me!! Wonderful idea :)

This is a transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation between a US Naval ship and the Canadians off the coast of Newfoundland, Oct 95 Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95.

CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south, to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north, to avoid a collision

CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision.

AMERICANS: This is the Captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

CANADIANS: Negative. I say again you will HAVE to divert YOUR course.

AMERICANS: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER US LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN
THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET, WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS,
THREE CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS.I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR
COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTERMEASURES
WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

CANADIANS: We are a lighthouse. Your call.

Yooooo Canucks ;)

Sorry to disappoint: [url]http://www.snopes.com/military/lighthse.htm[/url] :D

After the long months of cold and winter, we will soon be coming up to summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking as it's the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

Routine...

1) The woman buys the food.

2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:

4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....

5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

Important again:

7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN. More routine.....

8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table.

9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:

10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women....

:D

[FONT="Book Antiqua"][SIZE="3"]yes that's so true..and why I hate bbqs.

This is a 'lighten up thread' and sorely needed! I wonder if my suggestion will be a bit too controversial ?Theres a lot of 'newbies' about and it would be great to know a bit more about them in a 'what sort of people are they way'!!!Or is that too personal?

So...what about listing 5 things you will never ever ever do...serious or funny?

to start this will get the ball rolling!

I will never ever ....

... drive a 4x4 in a city
... drink Tequila ever again... never... ever!!!
... give up my cats when moving house
... learn to fly

......crack the language
.........be able to stop myself giggling when someone (else) falls over
..............understand why women get so tense when I get the BBQ out
...................count

5 things I would never do:

Drive too slow on an open road :cool:

Ask my boys about their sex life :eek:

Forget my grandmother

Pass up a "local church, group fundraising, ladies auxiliary" cookbook at a second hand store :D

Make my husband wrong ;)

I don't think that counts as a "joke" Iona - jokes are fantasy - you are describing The Truth :) :) - however, I have found Italian male guests at barbies can be seriously expert!!

This thread is getting (logistically) out of hand! I had missed your wonderful post!! - sounds reminiscent of what happened to (I think I'm right here) the Hubble satellite when miles got confused with km :) - or cm with inches

What have you got against wearing yellow?! I find it a very flattering colour, and I only ever use yellow smilies :) :)

I'm sure I'm not the only ancient relic who knows what REM implies :)

only 1 for me....

never going to be gay..

and i mean that in both its meaning........and without it meaning to offend
anyone who is......................

Jig, Gio......
......what you find yourself at the bottom of a hole
.........stop digging ;)

[QUOTE=Relaxed].....Hubble satellite when miles got confused with km :) - or cm with inches[/QUOTE]

Lax, Hubble was made my males & so I reckon that it was cms that were confused with inches.

.....................ladies, am I right?
:D

right tuscanhills :D

Okay - that was the cm/inch confusion - it must have been the moon/mars walking robot vehicle which was the miles/km confusion......unless you are both partnered with giants :)

[QUOTE=tuscanhills]Jig, Gio......

That is sound advice,alas i stay clear of hard work, so never use a shovel,
therefore unlikely to be found digging holes........ i pay people to do that......

Relaxed,

What was that tuscanhills just posted?

There are supposed to be three words in English that end in 'gry' I have Hungry and Angry but what is the third?

Answer Number One:

Here one answer, in a nutshell, quoted from "Gry, Gry, Everywhere, and Not a Clue In Sight", from The Word Detective, the online version of Words, Wit and Wisdom, a newspaper column that answers readers' questions about words and language, and is currently syndicated in newspapers in the U.S., Mexico and Japan. Here is the gist of what its author has to say:

Perhaps the whole puzzler is more a grade school antic than anything else. The way I heard the setup for the question was this:

There are three words in the English language that end with "gry." One is hungry and the other is angry. What is the third word? Everyone uses this word every day, everyone knows what it means, and knows what it stands for. If you have listened very closely I have already told you the third word.

If you read the second sentence you see that the "third" word is "hungry".

The author is writing here about the third word in the second sentence of the riddle, exactly as quoted, NOT some mythical third commonly used English word ending in "-gry". We admit this is a rather stupid riddle, but then we we didn't make it up; we just answer it, over, and over, and over.

The Word Detective may be found on the web at [url]http://www.word-detective.com[/url].

Answer Number Two:

The other answer also involves the way in which the riddle is posed, and will work only when spoken. It goes like this: "There are at least three commonly-used English words ending in 'g' or 'y'. One is 'hungry', the other is "angry'..." and so on. After the victim has been given time to be driven sufficiently nuts, the riddler is supposed to reveal the magic word, 'or', which, of course, sounded like 'r' in the spoken riddle. This one was reported in Marilyn Vos Savant's column, "Ask Marilyn", in the Parade supplement to the March 9, 1997 issue of the Arizona Republic.

A guy joins a monastery and takes a vow of silence: he’s allowed to say two words every seven years. After the first seven years, the elders bring him in and ask for his two words. "Cold floors," he says. They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him back in and ask for his two words. He clears his throats and says, "Bad food." They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him in for his two words. "I quit," he says. "That’s not surprising," the elders say. "You’ve done nothing but complain since you got here."

A fierce gust of wind blew 45-year-old Vittorio Luise's car into a river near Naples, Italy, in 1983. He managed to break a window, climb out and swim to shore - where a tree blew over and killed him.

[QUOTE=Carol and Dave]There are supposed to be three words in English that end in 'gry' I have Hungry and Angry but what is the third?[/QUOTE]

Did you word this correctly?

[QUOTE][url=http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/thirdword.html]"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

The answer is "Language." The first two sentences are unrelated to the riddle and only there to throw you off. Thus, the core riddle is "There are only three words in "the English language." What is the third word?"

Fact is, there are many more than three words in the English language that end in -gry, though none of them are nearly as common as "angry" and "hungry". [/url][/QUOTE]
