Friday humour - June 05, 2009
Thanks for all the contributions this week guys 'n' gals, if you don't see
your contribution here it is more than likely a repeat, and as we edit we
try to avoid too much repetition. However there are sometimes classics
which are so good we can afford to take that risk, after all not every
Friday
Humour reader has read every issue. We are having problems here in the UK
at the moment, our politicians have been caught thieving from the honey
pot, as clear a case of fraud in most cases as I ever did see. Strange
that there have been no arrests made yet, they claim they were not
breaking any rules which they had written.........anyways have a great
weekend and on with the humour - Nottingham Smithie.

If you've ever worked for a boss that reacts before getting the facts and
thinking things through!
-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new
boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.
On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The
room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant
business.
He walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, 'How much money
do you make a week?'
A little surprised, the young man looked at him and replied, 'I make $400 a
week. Why?'
The CEO then handed the guy $1,600 in cash and screamed, 'Here's four weeks
pay, now GET OUT and don't come back.'
Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and
asked,
'Does anyone here want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?'
From across the room came a voice, 'Pizza delivery guy from Domino's.'

"Walking Eagle"....The American Indians seem to be smarter than we are..
and we elected him as our prime minister!!??
On a recent trip to the U.S.A. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was invited to
address a major gathering of the American Indian Nations in Kitimat, B.C,
due to his experiences in handling the Australian Indigenous situation in
Australia.
He spoke for almost an hour on his ideas for increasing every First
Nation's present standard of living.
At the conclusion of his speech, the tribes presented the Prime Minister
with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - "Walking Eagle".
The proud Rudd then departed with his entourage, waving to the crowd as he
left.
A news reporter later asked the chiefs how they came to select the new name
given to Rudd.
They explained that "Walking Eagle" is the name given to a bird so full of
sh*te, it can no longer fly.

Iqbal and Habib are beggars. They beg in different areas of London.
Habib begs just as long as Iqbal, but collects £2 to £3 a day only.
Iqbal brings home a suitcase full of £10 notes everyday, drives a Mercedes,
lives in a mortgage-free house and has a lot of money to spend.
Habib says to Iqbal 'I work just as long and hard as you do but how do you
bring home a suitcase full of £10 notes every day?'
Iqbal says, 'Look at your sign, what does it say'?
Habib's sign reads 'I have no work, a wife and 6 kids to support'.
Iqbal says 'No wonder you only get £2- £3 a day.
Habib says... 'So what does your sign say'?
Iqbal shows Habib his sign.
It reads, 'I only need another £10 to move back to Pakistan '.

From: Whizzbang..........Doesn't take long!!!............
Apparently the kiwi woman only wanted "s*x" with Johns, not "six".
I finally understand the words to the haka. For years I have been wondering
what "COME MATTY, COME MATTY' meant.
The NRL has cleared Matthew Johns of any misconduct as the kiwi girl at the
centre of the s*x scandle admitted she wasn't aware of the interchange
rule.
The Johns event didn't happen to my mind; there is no way Cronulla could
score 12 times in one night.
She should have stayed still. Its common knowledge that thrashing around
attracts more sharks.
What's the worlds bravest bird? A kiwi, cause it takes on 12 sharks at
once...
What's the difference between Matt Johns and Jaws? In Jaws there was only
1 shark eating the woman.
The sharks get more crowds at their gang bangs than they do at their home
games.

RACQ have started this petition to try and stop the abolishment of the Fuel
Subsidy by the government. If this subsidy is abolished then not only will
the fuel prices rise but also groceries and the like. anything that relies
on fuel to get to the shops. Basically everything will get more expensive

Wall Murals
At first glance, it looks as if some natural disaster has shaken away the
walls of these buildings to reveal architecture hidden for thousands of
years. And at second and third glance, it looks like that too.
But these spectacular images are not the unexpected result of an
earthquake.
Treasure trove: An Egyptian style mural adorns a wall in Los Gatos,
California. Pugh paints people into the mural to heighten the 3D effect
Greek tragedy: But the Doric-style columns apparently exposed in this
university hall are nothing but paint
The incredibly lifelike scenes are actually huge works of art, painted on
the side of perfectly intact buildings. Even that woman peering into the
ruin above is not real.
The paintings, which have fooled many, were created by John Pugh, who
specialises in trompe l'oeil - or 'trick of the eye' - art. He uses his
skills to delude the viewer into seeing 3D scenes painted on flat
surfaces.
The Californian-born artist said: 'It seems almost universal that people
take delight in being visually tricked.'
His works can been seen all over the world, including in the artist's home
state. The 'earthquake' work shown here is located on Main Street in the
town of Los Gatos and was created following a genuine earthquake in 1989.
The temple-like interior apparently exposed features jaguar gods, regarded
as the creators of earthquakes by the Mayans.
Wonder wave: John Pugh's Mana Nalu mural in Honolulu. Fire crews rushed to
save the children from the mighty wave - before realising it was an
optical illusion
Blurring the lines: A mural entitled Art Imitating Life Imitating Art
Imitating Life, at the Cafe Trompe L'oeil, in San Jose, California
Another picture is of Taylor Hall at the California State University,
Chico,
where Pugh studied. The mural features Doric-style Greek columns behind the
seemingly shattered wall and is called Academe.
Another work, featuring a colossal wave about to crash on to a pavement in
Honolulu, Hawaii, took two months of studio work to plan and a further six
months to execute with the help of 11 other artists.
It features Queen Lili'uokalani, the last monarch of the Hawaiian Islands
with Duke Kahanamoku - the ultimate father of surf.
The scene is so realistic that just as it was near completion, it attracted
the attention of the fire brigade, which stopped its truck in the middle of
traffic.
Mr Pugh said: ''They jumped out to rescue the children in the mural. They
got about 15 feet away and then doubled over laughing when they realised
what it was.'
Having a cow: Valentine's Day, a mural unveiled during the Global Mural
Conference in Twentynine Palms, California
Trick of the eye: John inserts a passer-by into the mural painted in Santa
Cruz, California, entitled Bay in a Bottle, who is watching the ocean scene
Take a pew: This looks like a nice spot to rest your weary feet on a
sidewalk in Sarasota County Health Center, Florida

Why people had a happy childhood.
Click here Click here Click here Click here Click here Click here
Click here Click here Click here
Bayer 's Heroin - A bottle of Bayer's heroin. Between 1890 and 1910 heroin
was sold as a non-addictive substitute for morphine. It was also used to
treat children with strong cough.
Coca Wine - Metcalf Coca Wine was one of a huge variety of wines with
cocaine on the market. Everybody used to say that it would make you happy
and it would also work as a medicinal treatment.
Mariani wine - Mariani wine (1875) was the most famous Coca wine of it's
time. Pope Leo XIII used to carry one bottle with him all the time. He
awarded Angelo Mariani (the producer) with a Vatican gold medal.
Maltine - Produced by Maltine Manufacturing Company of New York .It was
suggested that you should take a full glass with or after every meal.
Children should take half a glass.
A paper weight: - A paper weight promoting C.F. Boehringer & Soehne (
Mannheim , Germany ). They were proud of being the biggest producers in
the world of products containing Quinine and Cocaine.
Opium for Asthma: No comments.
Cocaine tablets (1900) - All stage actors, singers teachers and preachers
had to have them for a maximum performance. Great to "smooth" the voice.
Cocaine drops for toothache - Very popular for children in 1885. Not only
they relieved the pain, they made the children happy!
Opium for new-borns - I'm sure this would make them sleep well (not only
the
Opium, but 46% alcohol!!!!!) beats the sh*te out of gripe water!

AUSTRALIAN CARTOONS...NEVER SEEN IN AMERICA
BELIEVE IT OR NOT --THESE CARTOONS ARE FROM OUR FRIENDS "DOWN UNDER". WHY
DO WE NEVER SEE SIMILAR IN USA PAPERS??
It may be too late, but maybe we should analyze these cartoons again. The
whole world sees America's dilemma except the democrapic party. It seems
this party's agenda is to destroy America, Why? Socialism has not worked
in any other civilization in the entire world. There's a better way to
feed the poor.

The New Alphabet
Click here Click here Click here Click here Click here Click here
Click here Click here Click here Click here
New Alphabet
A is for apple, and B is for boat,
That used to be right, but now it won't float.
Age before beauty is what we once said,
But let's be a bit more realistic instead.
Now
The Alphabet
A's for arthritis;
B's the bad back,
C's the chest pains,
Perhaps car-d-iac?
D is for dental decay and decline,
E is for eyesight, can't read that top line!
F is for fissures and fluid retention,
G is for gas which we'd rather not mention .
H High blood pressure-We'd rather it is low;
I For incisions with scars you can show.
J is for joints, out of socket, won't mend,
K is for knees that crack when they bend.
L's for libido, what happened to s*x?
M is for memory; we forget what comes next.
N is neuralgia, in nerves way down low;
O is for osteo, bones that don't grow!
P for prescriptions. We have quite a few,
Just give us a pill and we'll be good as new!
Q is fo r queasy, is it fatal or flu?
R is for reflux, one meal turns to two.
S is for sleepless nights, counting our fears,
T is for Tinnitus; bells in our ears!
U is for urinary; troubles with flow;
V for vertigo, that's 'dizzy,' you know.
W for worry, NOW what's going 'round?
X is for X-ray, and what might be found.
Y for another year we are left here behind,
Z is for zest WE still have - in OUR minds.
We've survived all the symptoms, our body's deployed, and
We're keeping twenty-six doctors fully employed.
IF YOU ARE OLD, HAVE A GREAT DAY.
IF NOT, YOUR TURN WILL COME!

Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management
technique recommended in all the latest psychological journals. The funny
thing is that it really does work and will make you smile.
1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs
out over a crystal clear stream.
2. Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool
running water.
3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.
4. No one knows your secret place.
5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the
world.
6. The soothing sound of a gentle water fall fills the air with a
cascade of serenity.
7. The water is so crystal clear that you can easily make out the
face of the person you are holding underwater.
There!! See? It really does work. You're smiling already.
