The dual carriageway says to the barman: "I'm right hard - I'll have two pints of beer"
The dual carriageway downs the first pint and is just starting his second pint when in walks a
motorway. The motor way then says to the barman: "I'm right hard - I'll have three pints of
beer"
The motorway downs two beers and is just starting his third when in walks a thin straggly piece
of red tarmac path and orders half a shandy with plenty of lemonade.
The bar goes very quiet and the roads all hide under a table.
The thin straggly piece of tarmac slowly finishes his drink and leaves.
The barman says - "What’s wrong with you lot - I thought you said you right hard!"
"We may be hard" the roads reply "but that guy's a cycle path"

ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole. The bartender screams at the guy,
"Did you see what your monkey just did?"
The guy says, "No, what?"
"He just ate the cue ball off my pool table, whole!" says the bartender.

everything first!"
THE COWBOY
The cowboy lay sprawled across three entire seats in the posh Amarillo theatre. When the usher
came by and noticed this he whispered to the cowboy,
"Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one seat." The cowboy groaned but didn't budge. The usher
became more impatient.
"Sir, if you don't get up from there, I'm going to have to call the manager.” The cowboy just
groaned. The usher marched briskly back up the aisle. In a moment he returned with the
manager. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the cowboy, but with no success.
Finally, they summoned the police. The cop surveyed the situation briefly then asked,
"All right buddy, what's you're name?"
"Sam," the cowboy moaned.
"Where ya from, Sam?" With pain in his voice Sam replied....

A young man wished to purchase a present for his sweetheart, and after careful consideration,
he decided on a pair of gloves. Accompanied by his sweetheart's sister, he went to a department
store and bought a pair of white gloves. The sister purchased a pair of panties for herself.
During the wrapping, the items got mixed up. The sister got the gloves, and the sweetheart got
the panties. Without checking the contents, he sealed the package and sent it to her with this
note....
Dearest Darling:
This is a little gift to show you I have not forgotten your birthday. I chose these because I
noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not
been for your younger sister, I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons, but she wears
the short ones that are very easy to remove. These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought
them from showed me a pair she had been wearing for three weeks, and they were hardly soiled.
I had the sales girl try them on, and she really looked smart. I wish I could put them on you for
the first time. No doubt other men's hands will come in contact with them before I have a
chance to see you again When you take them off, blow in them before putting them away as they
will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Be sure to keep them on when you clean them, or they
might shrink. I hope you will like them, and will wear them for me on Friday night!
All my love...
P.S. Just think how many times I will kiss them during the coming year. Also, the latest style is to
wear them folded down with the fur showing.
Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put his boots
on? He asked for help and she could see why.
With her pulling and him pushing the boots still didn't want to go on.
When the second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat.
She almost whimpered when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet."
She looked and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was
putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on
- this time on the right feet.
He then announced, "These aren't my boots." She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face
and scream, "Why didn't you say so?" like she wanted to. Once again she struggled to help him
pull the ill-fitting boots off.
And then he said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them."
She didn't know if she should laugh or cry. She mustered up the grace to wrestle the boots on
his feet again.
She said, "Now, where are your mittens?"
He said, "I stuffed them in the toes of my boots..."
SHY GUY
A very shy guy goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting at the bar. After an hour of
gathering up his courage he finally goes over to her and asks, tentatively,
"Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?"
She responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs,
"No, I won't sleep with you tonight!" Everyone in the bar is now staring at them.
Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table.
After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes.
She smiles at him and says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I'm a graduate student in
psychology and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations."
To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200?"
GOOD OFFER?
A man was sitting in a bar enjoying a drink after work, when an exceptionally good looking woman
entered. She was so beautiful he couldn't take his eyes off her. She noticed him looking and
walked up to him. Before he could apologize for staring at her the woman said to him,
"I'll do anything for you, absolutely anything, no matter how kinky, for $100 on one condition.
You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words".
The man considered the proposition for a moment, withdrew his wallet from his pocket and slowly
counted out five twenty-dollar bills, which he pressed in her hand. He looked her deep in the eyes
and said, "Paint my house”.
A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realises that he is lost. He reduces altitude and spots a
man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts:
"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"
The man below says, "Yes you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field."
"You must work in Information Technology," says the balloonist.
"I do", replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but of no use to
anyone."
The man below says, "you must work in business."
"I do", replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to
be able to help. You're in the same position you were in before we met, but now it's my fault."
NEW CAR
A man buys a huge new car and shows it to his neighbour. Its great says the neighbour but does it
have a bed in like mine? But your car is tiny says the man. Yes but watch this, the neighbour
presses a button on his tiny car's dashboard and a bed unfolds. The man rushes back to the car
showroom and demands a bed be fitted to his new car. The next day the man takes his huge car
(now fitted with a bed) to show his neighbour but the neighbour is out. The man drives around
looking for the neighbour and sees his car parked up in a lay by, with all the windows steamed up!
The man goes to the car and starts banging ion the window. There’s no sign of the neighbour and
the windows are too steamed up to see inside. He bangs again, and again, and eventually the
neighbour (naked) wipes a circle into the steamed up window.
"What do you want?"
"My car has a bed like yours!"
"Hell, you got me out the shower to tell me that!!!"
Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
At home as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head, And forgive us our spillage,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, the bitter, and the lager.
A FUNNY THING
SMOKERS
Two old ladies were waiting for a bus and one of them was smoking a cigarette. It started to rain,
so the old lady reached into her purse, took out a condom, cut off the tip and slipped it over her
cigarette and continued to smoke.
Her friend saw this and said, "Hey that's a good idea! What is it that you put over your
cigarette?"
The other old lady said, "It's a condom..."
"A condom? Where do you get those?"
The lady with the cigarette told her friend that you could purchase condoms at the pharmacy.
When the two old ladies arrived downtown, the old lady with all the questions went into the
pharmacy and asked the pharmacist if he sold condoms. The pharmacist said yes, but looked a
little surprised that this old woman was interested in condoms, so he asked her,
"What size do you want?"
The old lady thought for a minute and said, "One that will fit a Camel!"
PERFECT BODY?
A man comes home to find his wife admiring herself naked in the mirror.
"Do you know what the doctor told me today?" she asks.

"Did he say anything about that big fat ass of yours?" asked the man.
"No, your name didn't even come up."
A Programmer and an Engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The
Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The Engineer
just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The Programmer persists and explains that the game is real easy and a lotta fun. He explains "I
ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question,
and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $5."
Again, the Engineer politely declines and tries to get to sleep. The Programmer, now somewhat
agitated, says, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer,
I'll pay you $50!" This catches the Engineer's attention, and he sees no end to this torment
unless he plays, so he agrees to the game.
The Programmer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The
Engineer doesn't say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to
the Programmer.
Now, it's the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer "What goes up a hill with three legs, and
comes down on four?" The Programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his
laptop computer and searches all of his references. He taps into the Airphone with his modem
and searches the net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated and still without an answer, he
sends e-mails to his co-workers...all to no avail.
After about an hour, he wakes the Engineer and hands him $50. The Engineer politely takes the
$50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep. The Programmer, more than a little miffed,
shakes the Engineer and asks, "Well, so what's the answer?"
Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the Programmer $5, and turns away
to get back to sleep.
NAUGTHY PARROT
A man received a parrot for his birthday. The parrot was fully-grown with a bad attitude and an
even worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren't expletives were,
to say the least, rude.
The man tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing
soft music, anything he could think of. Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird, and the bird got
worse. He shook the bird and the bird got madder and ruder.
Finally, in a moment of desperation, he put the parrot in the freezer.
For a few moments he heard the bird squawking and kicking and screaming, and then, suddenly,
there was quiet.
The man was frightened that he might actually have hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer
door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto the man's extended arm and said....
"I'm sorry that I might have offended you with my language and actions and ask for your
forgiveness, I will endeavour to correct my behaviour."
The man was astounded at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask what had changed
him.... when the parrot continued.....
"May I ask what the chicken did?"
COMPUTER NERDS …
Two systems analysts were standing in the park. One had a new bike.
The other said, "Nice bike. How much?"
The first said, "It was free."
The other asked, "Wow, how did you get it for free?"
The one with the bike said,
"Yesterday a beautiful girl rode up on this bike, took off all her clothes and told me I could have
anything I wanted."
The other systems analyst said,
"Good move! Her clothes wouldn't have fit you anyway".
CODE MONKEY
A tourist walks into a pet shop in Silicon Valley, and is browsing round the cages on display. While
he's there, another customer walks in and says to the shopkeeper, "I'll have a C monkey, please".
The shopkeeper nods, goes over to a cage at the side of the shop and takes out a monkey. He
fits a collar and leash and hands it to the customer, saying
"That'll be $5000". The customer pays and walks out with his monkey.
Startled, the tourist goes over to the shopkeeper.
"That was a very expensive monkey - most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did it
cost so much?"
"Ah, that monkey can program in C - very fast, tight code, no bugs, well worth the money."
The tourist looks at the monkeys in that cage. "That one's even more expensive - $10,000
dollars! What does it do?".
"Oh, that one's a C++ monkey; it can manage object oriented programming, Visual C++, even some
Java, all the really useful stuff".
The tourist looks round for a little longer and sees a third monkey in a cage on its own. The price
tag round its neck says $50,000. He gasps to the shopkeeper,
"That one costs more than all the others put together!
What on earth does it do?"
"Well, I don't know what he does, but he says he’s a Contractor."
JELLY BABY
Jelly Baby had developed a nasty rash down below so he thought he would go and see a doctor to
get an expert opinion, the jelly doctor examined him and then looked at Jelly Baby and said "I'm
not sure what's wrong Jelly Baby we'll have to take a Jelly sample, and you'll have to come back
in two days".
So he goes back a couple of days later for the test result and the doctor says "We've got the
result and it's as I suspected Jelly Baby, you've picked up a sexually transmitted disease" Jelly
Baby looked at the doc and said "Well, is that it?".
"You don't sound very surprised Jelly baby" said the doc.
Jelly baby replied, "I'm not, I've been sleeping with allsorts!"
