Life is filled with hard decisions........

David Dykhoff sent me this to add to his collection on Humour for all Occasions.
It appealed to me so much I did some research on and I posted that on Performance Controller as a  serious and light-hearted example of Nabisco’s brilliantly effective campaign in hitting the mark in advertising its product.

You cant fix Stupid - Professionals

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area and went to the lost luggage office and reported the loss.
The woman there smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and said I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked me,
'Has your plane arrived yet?'... (Do you work with professionals like this?)

Penguins go to Heaven Too

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica --- where do they go? Wonder no more ! ! !

It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of its family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and one by one, they begin to emit a unique sound --- a haunting bird-song that sounds like this:

Freeze a jolly good fellow." "Then, they kick him in the ice hole . . .."

You didn’t really believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?
It's so easy to fool OLD people.

I am sorry, the devil made me do it!

A painful decision

A man wakes up in the hospital bandaged head to toe. The doctor says, "Good, I see you've regained consciousness. Now you probably won't remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the freeway.

You're going to be okay, you'll walk again, however your penis was severed in the accident and they couldn't find it."

The man groans, but the doctor continues, "You have  $9000 in insurance compensation coming and we have the technology to build a new penis.  The only issue it doesn’t come cheap at roughly $1000 an inch."

At this news the doctor see the man perks up at that so to keep the momentum . "he says, "OK so now you must decide o many inches you want.

I understand that you have been married for thirty years and as this can wait for day till we have the clinical tests done perhaps you should discuss it with your wife. If you had a five incher and get a nine  incher she might a bit threatened. Or if you had a nine incher before and you decide to invest in a five incher now, likewise she might be  disappointed. So it's important she is involved in your decision."

The man agrees to talk with his wife.

The next day the doctor returns and asks , "So, have you  spoken with your wife?"
  "Yes  I have," says the man.
  "And has she helped you make a decision?"
  "Yes" says the man.
  "What is your decision?" asks the doctor
  "We're  getting granite counter  tops."

Hard Of hearing

A guy is in a pet shop, and sees a legless parrot somehow seated on a perch.
Mother of Mary , what happened to the parrot.?' the guys blurts aloud to the owner
But the parrot not the owner replies with, 'I was born this way. I'm defective .'

'Holy Molasses, You talk and you actually understood and answered me?.'

'I got every word,' says the parrot. 'I am  highly intelligent, and educated

“Awesome” says the guy who adds, So how do you sit on your perch without feet.?'

'Well,' the parrot says, Its a bit embarrassing, but since you ask,   I wrap my
weenie around the bar, like a hook. You can't see it, because of my feathers.'

'Wow,' says the guy. 'You really do understand, and you speak English so well’'
'Actually, I speak Spanish and English, and I can converse with reasonable
competence on almost any topic, politics, religion, sports, physics, philosophy and I'm  especially good at ornithology.You ought to buy me, I'd be a great companion.'

The guy looks at the $200.00 price tag. 'Sorry, but I just can't afford that.'

'Pssssssst,' says the parrot, 'I'm defective, so the truth is, nobody wants me, You can probably get me for $20,' So the guy offers $20 and leaves with the parrot.

Weeks go by. The parrot is sensational. He has a great sense of humour and a great pal, who understands well sympathizes and is insightful.The guy is delighted.

One day the guy comes home from work, and the parrot goes, 'Psssst,' as he motions him over with his wing.'I don't know if I should tell you or not, but it's about your wife, and the UPS man.'

'What are you talking about,?' asks the guy.

'When the UPS man delivered a package today, your wife greeted him at the door,
in a sheer black nightie.'

WHAT???' the guy asks incredulously adding, “So what happened?'

'The UPS man came inside lifted up her nightie, and began touching her all over,'

Holy cow !' he exclaims, 'and she let him.?'

'Yes.and then he took off the nightie, got on his knees, and began to kiss her body .'

Frantic the guy demands, 'THEN WHAT HAPPENED.?'

DUNNO?   I got a hard-on, and fell off my perch.!'

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House wares to go off every 5-minutes.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice in the passage to the women's restroom.
5. Aug 4: Went to the Service Desk and to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
6. Aug14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

12. Oct 6: In auto depart, practiced his 'Madonna look' with different sized funnels.
13. Oct 18: Hid in clothing racks & yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME! as people browsed '
14. Oct 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he
assumed a foetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

The final straw was

15. Oct 23: when in a fitting room, he shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.'

Have a nice day

Your sincerely

Easy scam that is cleaning out bank accounts of Mr and Mrs Average like you and me.


This scam is no joke

It just happend to me. Marg, called me to tell me she was booking us on our holiday accomdation via the internet using Agoda. When I read my email a bit later I figured she had been scammed into paying $969.48 for something
with her PayPal.

In the Transaction Advise (which looks so authentic) I saw we had time to get it sorted out and was about to click and see how to. 

But lucky I didnt. Tricksters are now so clever to get your personal details like passwords  to bank accounts. So I hestiated and instead took a closer visual look before I just deleted it.

DON'T CLICK ON ANY LINKS .. JUST HOVER OVER THEM AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I SAW AND WHERE THEY REALLY GO -

I am not even sure if the blog will pick up the underlying links, but take my word for it, thEY don't go to PalPay

Cheers
Gordon

Size 350

A young girl started work in the village chemist shop.

She was very shy about having to sell condoms to the public.

Soon after the owner was going on holiday and asked would she run the shop on her own.

She had to confide in him her worries about selling contraceptives.
"Look," he said. "My regular customers don't actually ask for condoms,they'll ask for a 310 [small] a 320[medium] or a 330[large]. " "The word condom won't even be used."

The first day was fine but on the second day a black guy came in to the shop, put out his hand and said "350".The girl panicked. She phoned the owner on his mobile and told him of her predicament.

"Does he have a yellow bucket hanging between his legs?" her boss asked.
She peeped through the door "Yes!" she said " He's got one!"
The boss said "Just give him $3.50.  He's the window cleaner!"

Dog with Chinese name for sale...

Whether you own a dog or not, you must appreciate the efforts of this owner to sell her dog. Look at the picture and then read the sales pitch below.
clip_image001

Dog For Sale.  Free to good home.  Excellent guard dog.

Owner cannot afford to feed Jethro anymore, as there are no more drug pushers, thieves, murderers, or molesters left in the neighborhood for him to eat. Most of them knew Jethro only by his Chinese street name, Ho Lee Schitt.

Old Man And The Beaver

An 86-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up...
clip_image001
The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the 86-year-old said ,'Things are great and I've never felt better.' I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. "So what do you think about that Doc?"

The doctor considered his question for a minute and then replied ,
"I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter."

One day when setting off to go hunting. In a bit of a hurry , he picked up his walking cane instead of his gun." "Neared a lake, he saw a very large male beaver sitting at the water's edge..


He realized he'd left his gun at home but out of habit he raised his cane , aimed it and went 'bang, bang'."
"Simultaneously , two shots rang out and the beaver fell dead.


Now, what do you think of that ?" asked the doctor.
The 86-year-old said , "Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."
The doctor replied , "My point exactly."

Ethnic Communications Misunderstood

A middle eastern man entered a black cab in London. The cabbie had music playing, but Instead of politely asking for it to be turned off, the man was blunt and justified it on his religious teaching, being he must not listen to music because in the time of the prophet there was no music.
The cab driver immediately switched off the music, but then stopped the cab and opened the door.
The man asked him, "What are you doing?"
The cabbie answered, "In the time of the prophet there were no taxis, so you’d be better to wait for a camel"

'So how's Old' Blue doing, son?'

A young jackaroo from outback Queensland goes off to university, but Halfway through the semester he foolishly has squandered all of his money.
He calls home.
'Dad,' he says, 'you won't believe what modern education is developing.. They actually have a program here in Brisbane that will teach our dog Ol' Blue how to talk.'
'That's amazing!'
His Dad says.
'How do I get Ol' Blue in that program?'
'Just send him down here with $2,000,' the young jackaroo says, 'I'll get him In the course.'
So .... His father sends the dog and $2,000.
About two-thirds through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy calls home.

'So how's Ol' Blue doing, son?' His father wants to know.
'Awesome! Dad, he's talking up a storm... But you just won't believe this.
They've had such good results with talking, they've begun to teach the animals how to read.'

'Read?'Exclaims his father.
'No kidding! How do we get Ol' Blue in that program?'
'Just send $4,500. I'll get him in the class.'
The money promptly arrives. But our hero has a problem. At the end of the year,
His father will find out the dog can neither talk nor read.
So he shoots the dog. When he arrives home at the end of the year, his father is all excited.
'Where's Ol' Blue? I just can't wait to talk with him, and see him read something!'
'Dad,'

The boy says, 'I have some grim news.
Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ol' Blue was in the living room,
Kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal. Then he suddenly turned to me and asked,
'So, is your Daddy still bonking that little redhead barmaid at the pub?''
The father groans and whispers,

'I hope you shot that bastard before he talks to your Mother!'
'I sure did, Dad!'
'That's my boy!'
The kid went on to be a successful lawyer.

clip_image007

7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk..

 
 
 

clip_image008

8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.

 
 
 

clip_image009

10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.

 
 
 

clip_image011

11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.

12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting.

 
 
 

clip_image013

13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.

 
 
 

And last, but not least:

 
 
 

14. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

Lock your wife and your dog in the garage for an hour. Then open it and see who's happy to see you.

Husband Store

Coming round again here is a timeless oldie

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
