Top marks this week go to the government agency in Scunthorpe who updated
their email system to use a filter which filtered out any emails containing
profanity or obscene language of any kind. All was fine, till they realised
that no-one whatsoever had got ANY emails during the whole week since they
installed the software... They
checked through everything and couldn't find a problem... until one bright
spark pointed out that all their email addresses are
"[email protected]"

From the State where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes a true story.

Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighborhood tavern.
Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated
that
he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few
minutes, with the officer quietly observing.

After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five vehicles, the man
managed to find his car which he fell into. He was there for a few minutes
as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.

Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off it was a fine, dry
night) flicked the blinkers on, then off, honked the horn and then switched
on the
lights.

He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, then remained still for a few more
minutes as more vehicles left.

At last he pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive slowly down the
road.
The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up
the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and
carried out a breathalyzer test. To officers amazement the breathalyzer
indicated no evidence of the man having consumed alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the
Police Station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken."

"I doubt it," said the man, "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful
pet dog along for company. One day the dog starts chasing butterflies
and before long he discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about he
notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious
intention of having lunch.

The dog thinks, "Begob, I'm in deep tulipe now." (He was an Irish
setter).... Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and
immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the
approaching cat.

Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dog exclaims loudly, "Man, that
was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this the leopard halts his attack in mid stride, as a look of
terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew", says the
leopard. "That was close. That dog nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby
tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for
protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the dog sees him heading
after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up.

The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes
a deal for himself with the leopard. The cat is furious at being made a
fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to
happen to that conniving canine."

Now the dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and
thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog
sits down with his back to his attackers pretending he hasn't seen them
yet.

And just when they get close enough to hear, the dog says, "Where's that
monkey. I just can never trust him. I sent him off half an hour ago to
bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"

Three guys die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they
get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven...don't
step on the ducks."

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the
place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they
try their best to avoid them, the first guy accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest woman he ever saw. St. Peter
chains them together and says "Your punishment for stepping on a
duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly woman!"

The next day, the second guy steps accidentally on a duck, and
along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing, and with him is
another extremely ugly woman. He chains them together with the same
admonishment as for the first guy.

The third guy has observed all this and not wanting to be chained
for all eternity to an ugly woman, is very, VERY careful where he
steps.


He manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day
St. Peter comes up to him with the most gorgeous woman he has ever laid
eyes on...a very tall, tan, curvaceous, sexy blonde. St. Peter chains
them together without saying a word.

The guy remarks, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to
you for all of eternity?" She says, "I don't know about you, but I
stepped on a duck.

A man died and his wife phoned the newspaper to place an obituary. She
called the obituary department and said, "This is what I want to print:
Bernie is dead."

The man at the newspaper said, "But for £25 you are allowed to print six
words."

The woman answered, "OK. Then print: Bernie is dead. Toyota for sale."

The Religious Instruction teacher was speaking to her class one morning
and she asked the question, "When you die and go to Heaven...which part of
your body goes first?"

Susie raised her hand and said, "I think it's your hands."

"Why do you think it's your hands, Susie?"

Susie replied, "...because when you pray, you hold your hands together in
front of you and God just takes your hands first!"

"What a wonderful answer!," the teacher said.

Now, Tommy raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I think it's your legs."

The teacher looked at him with the strangest look on her face. "Now,
Tommy, why do you think it would be your legs?"

Tommy said, "Well, I walked into Mummy and Daddy's bedroom the other
night, Mummy had her legs straight up in the air and she was going, 'O
God, I'm coming!' - - - and if Dad hadn't had her pinned down, we'd a lost
her for sure!"

2. What do you do if your boyfriend walks out? You shut the door.
3. If we put a man on the moon - we should be able to put them all up
there.
4. Never let your man's mind wander - it's too little to be out alone.
5. Go for younger men. You might as well - they never mature anyway.
6. Men are all the same - they just have different faces so that you can
tell them apart.
7. Definition of a bachelor: a man who has missed the opportunity to
make some woman miserable.
8. Women don't make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself

10. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye opener.
11. If you want a committed man, look in a mental hospital.

means
you laugh at his.
15 Sadly, all men are created equal. Just a thought for all the women
out there...

Ever notice how all of women's problems start with men? MENtal illness
MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause. And
when we have real trouble, it's HISterectomy.

A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a modest home
near a junior high school. He spent the first few weeks
of his retirement in peace and contentment. Then a new
school year began. The very next afternoon three young boys,
full of youthful, after-school enthusiasm, came down his street,
beating merrily on every trash can they encountered. The
crashing percussion continued day after day, until finally the
wise old man decided it was time to take some action. The next
afternoon, he walked out to meet the young percussionists as
they banged their way down the street. Stopping them, he said,
"You kids are a lot of fun. I like to see you express your
exuberance like that. In fact, I used to do the same thing when
I was your age. Will you do me a favor? I'll give you each a
dollar if you'll promise to come around every day and do your
thing." The kids were elated and continued to do a bang-up job
on the trashcans.

After a few days, the old-timer greeted the kids again, but
this time he had a sad smile on his face. "This recession's
really putting a big dent in my income," he told them. "From
now on, I'll only be able to pay you 50 cents to beat on the
cans."

The noisemakers were obviously displeased, but they accepted
his offer and continued their afternoon ruckus. A few days
later, the wily retiree approached them again as they drummed
their way down the street.

"Look," he said, "I haven't received my Social Security check yet,
so I'm not going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. Will
that be okay?"

"A lousy quarter?" the drum leader exclaimed. "If you think we're
going to waste our time, beating these cans around for a quarter,
you're nuts! No way, mister. We quit!" And the old man enjoyed
peace and serenity for the rest of his days.

he's drinking the monkey jumps all around he place. The monkey grabs some
olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats
them, then jumps onto the pool table, grabs one of the billiard balls,sticks
it in his mouth, and to everyone's amazement, somehow swallows it whole.
