Friday humour - February 08, 2002
From Tony at Bluehaze:
Gidday,
Some of you might have noticed that we didn't have a humour posting
last week. This happened because both editors (Davo and Tony) were away
from the jokes desk. Davo decided to take a cupla weeks off before I
got back from my hols.
He's currently standing on Bondi Beach in Sydney under a large brolly
(Sydney do tend to do that when they get the cricket). Anyway, let's
hope he's finding something exciting to do in Sydney other than surfing
in the rain?
Now - first up this week, it's a bit of a puzzle from QCAT:
----------------------------
Count the number of times the letter "F" appears in the text below.
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
The answer's down at the end ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And in the humour department, this one was just passed on by Gary Burge:
----------------------------
Jay and his blonde wife live in Chicago (near Nestor?). One winter morning
while listening to the radio, they hear the announcer say, "We are going to
have 3 to 4 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even numbered
side of the street, so the snowplough can get through." So Jay's wife goes
out and moves her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast and the radio announcer says,
"We are expecting 4 to 5 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the
odd numbered side of the street, so the snowplough can get through."
Jay's wife goes out and moves her car again.
The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radio announcer says
"We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park...", then the
electric power goes out.
Jay's wife says, "Honey, I don't know what to do."
Jay says, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next - this one from our flaming Social Club Pres, one David McCallum:
----------------------------
Little David comes home from first grade and tells his father that they learned
about the history of Valentine's Day. "Since Valentine's day is for a Christian
saint and we're Jewish," he asks, "will God get mad at me for giving someone
a valentine?"
David's father thinks a bit, then says "No, I don't think God would get
mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?"
"Osama Bin Laden," David says.
"Why Osama Bin Laden?" his father asks in shock.
"Well," David says, "I thought that if a little American Jewish boy could have
enough love to give Osama a valentine, he might start to think that maybe we're
not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. And if other kids saw
what I did and sent valentines to Osama, he'd love everyone a lot. And then
he'd start going all over the place to tell everyone how much he loved them
and how he didn't hate anyone anymore."
His father's heart swells and he looks at his boy with newfound pride. "David,
that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."
"I know," David says, "and once that gets him out in the open, the Marines
could blow the crap out of him."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And on a similar topic, TBFXRD (Nicki) sent this across on Monday:
----------------------------
After getting nailed by a Daisy Cutter, Osama made his way to the pearly gates.
There, he is greeted by George Washington.
"How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!" yells Mr. Washington,
slapping Osama in the face.
Patrick Henry comes up from behind. "You wanted to end the Americans' liberty,
so they gave you death!" Henry punches Osama on the nose.
James Madison comes up next, and says "This is why I allowed the Federal
Government to provide for the common defence!" He drops a large weight on
Osama's knee.
Osama is subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James
Monroe, and 65 other people who have the same love for liberty and America.
As he writhes on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picks him up to hurl him back
toward the gate where he is to be judged.
As Osama awaits his journey to his final very hot destination, he screams
"This is not what I was promised!"
An angel replies "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for
you. What did you think I said?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for something from our old degen Westerly list ...
----------------------------
A photographer for a national magazine was assigned to take pictures of a great
forest fire. He was advised that a small plane would be waiting to fly him
over the fire.
The photographer arrived at the airstrip.
Sure enough, a small Cessna aeroplane was waiting. He jumped in with his
equipment and yelled, "Come on, let's go!"
The tense man sitting in the pilot's seat swung the plane into the wind and
soon they were in the air, though flying somewhat erratically.
"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make
several low-level passes."
"Why?" asked the nervous pilot.
"Because I'm going to take pictures!" yelled the photographer. "I'm a
photographer ... photographers take pictures."
After a long pause, the pilot replied: "You mean you're NOT my new instructor?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next it's to the U.K. and this short one from Brian D. McNicol esq:
----------------------------
A Texan goes into a Bar, buys a round of drinks for everyone in the Bar and
proudly announces "My wife has just given birth to a typical Texan baby boy
weighing 25lbs!"
Congratulations were showered on him by everyone in the Bar, a woman even
fainted from sympathy pains.
Two weeks later he returned to the bar, and the barman, recognising him said,
"You're the father of the typical Texan boy that weighed 25lbs at birth,
aren't you? How much does he weigh now?"
The proud father announces 17lbs. The puzzled Barman is concerned and says
"What? What happened - he was already 25lbs at birth"?
The Texas Dad takes a long slow swig from his long neck Lone Star beer, wipes
his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the Barman and proudly says
"I had him circumsized!"

And back to the textual stuff again - with this one from Dave McCallum.
Some alternative nursery rhymes for tonight ...
----------------------------
Mary had a little skirt
With splits right up the sides
And every time that Mary walked
The boys could see her thighs
Mary had another skirt
T'was split right up the front ...
but she didn't wear that one very often
Mary had a little lamb
Her father shot it dead
Now it goes to school with her
Between two chunks of bread
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Her clothes all tattered and torn
It wasn't the spider that crept up beside her
But Little Boy Blue and his horn
Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair
Said Simple Simon to the pieman
"What have you got there?"
Said the pieman unto Simon
"Pies, you dickhead!"
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Said "F**k him, he's only an egg"
Mary had a little lamb
It ran into a pylon
10,000 volts went up it's arse
And turned it's wool to nylon
Georgie Porgy pudding and pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play
He kissed them too, cause he was gay
Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To have a little fun
Jill, the dill
Forgot her pill
And now they have a son
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To fetch her poor doggy a bone
When she bent over
Rover took over
And gave her a bone of his own
Little Boy Blew
(He needed the money)

And the answer to "How many F's" in:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
Well, most people say there are 3. There are 6.
The reasoning:
The brain cannot process "of".
Incredible or what ?
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Even four is quite rare.
