Joke
A man went to a psychiatrist and said, "Doc, I think my brother's crazy. He claims he's a chicken."
The doctor said, "Why don't you have him committed?"
The man replied, "I would, but we need the eggs!"
(boom boom)

A Tidbit on Rainwater Tanks
Did you know they can blow away if you don't fill them up? According to the plumber who just installed one next door thats true. So on hearing this advice nextdoor payed an extra $600 to fill it with water from the truck who just happens to be owned by the bloke who installed it.

HA ha HA
There was a church down in Texas that had a very big-busted organist. Her breasts were so huge that they bounced and jiggled while she played the organ. Unfortunately, she distracted the congregation considerably.
The very proper church ladies were appalled. They said something had to be done about this or they would have to get another organist.
One of the ladies approached her very discreetly and told her to mash up some green persimmons, and rub them on her breasts and maybe they would shrink in size but warned her to not eat any of the green persimmons though because they are so sour, the y will make your mouth pucker up and you won't
be able to talk properly for a while. She agreed to try it.
The following Sunday morning the minister got up on the pulpit and said.
"Dew to thircumsthanthis bewond my contwol we will not hath a thermon tewday".

Grandma's Boyfriend
A 5-year-old boy went to visit his grandmother one day. Playing with his toys in her bedroom while grandma was dusting, he looked up and said, "Grandma, how come you don't have a boy friend now that Grandpa went to heaven?"
Grandma replied, "Honey, my TV is my boyfriend. I can sit in my bedroom and watch it all day long. The religious programs make me feel good and the comedies make me laugh. I'm happy with my TV as my boyfriend."
Grandma turned on the TV, and the reception was terrible. She started adjusting the knobs, trying to get the picture in focus. Frustrated, she started hitting the backside of the TV hoping to fix the problem.
The little boy heard the doorbell ring, so he hurried to open the door, and there stood Grandma's minister.
The minister said, "Hello, son, is your Grandma home?" The little boy replied, "Yeah, she's in the bedroom bangin' her boyfriend."
The minister fainted

I asked Doc to buy me eggs (the cheapest you can!! No name!) Instead he came back with bloody organic raised-by-a-hippy-feral carton of eggs, costing 4 times the price, and look at the size of the bloody thing, little tiny pigeon sized eggs. *hits head. It takes twice as many eggs to get a feed. I know he meant well, but still....

No More Pluto
Bye bye Pluto *sniff
Pluto was stripped of its status as a planet on Thursday when astronomers from around the world redefined it as a "dwarf planet", leaving just eight major planets in the solar system.
With one vote, toys and models of the solar system became instantly obsolete, forcing teachers and publishers to scramble to update textbooks and lessons used in classrooms for decades.
"Pluto is dead," Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology bluntly told reporters on a teleconference.
Discovered in 1930 by the American Clyde Tombaugh, Pluto has traditionally been considered the ninth planet, farthest from the sun in the solar system.

Dust If You Must
Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture, or write a letter, bake a cake, or plant a seed. Ponder the difference between want and need. Dust if you must, but there is not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb! Music to hear, and books to read friends to cherish and life to lead. Dust if you must, but the world's out there with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, a flutter of snow, a shower of rain, this day will not come round again. Dust if you must, but bear in mind, old age will come and it's not kind. And when you go, and go you must, You, yourself, will make more dust!

Theres a Bluebird
| Theres a Bluebird deep inside me that I never let out. Theres a Bluebird deep inside me that I never let others hear. Theres a Bluebird deep inside me that I never let sing but sometimes when everyones asleep i let it out to sing a song. Theres a Bluebird deep inside me that I never let out. Theres a Bluebird deep inside me that never sees the sun because I always put him away before it rises. Theres a Bluebird deep inside me and together we sleep each night as one. Theres a Bluebird deep inside me that I hear cry at night because I wont let him out. Theres a Bluebird deep inside me that I never let anyone see because they may find me. Theres a Bluebird deep inside me that now sees the sun and sings but you'll never see him. Theres a Bluebird deep inside me that once was just as i am now, once was. Theres a Bluebird deep inside me. |

Think
If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never turn into an old nag.
On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.
Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt that he forgets his sugar.

My neighbour
So I am cooking in the kitchen, basting the roast potatoes and dry baking some butternut pumpkin, as a token to fat-free cooking, *coughs.
Next door, there’s a sound, a strange sound, I can’t put my finger on it. Surely not the tree choppers, at THIS hour? Not the leaf-blower? Too soft. Finally, overcome by curiosity, I wander outside, to see my neighbour Cam mowing his small lawn.
It’s the sound of a lawn mower! Be stuffed!
We chat and he tells me that on the weekend he and his wife celebrated their 10th anniversary, and he did a PowerPoint show, and the 2 best photos of the night, were both ones that I had taken, of he and his kids, when they first moved in next door. Aw………It’s a story I do hear over and over, and either people are very kind, and I take great photos of people. hugs

Mentally Stable
Bud and Barbara were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Bud suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Barbara promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom, pulled Bud out and brought him to his room.
When the hospital director became aware of Barbara's heroic act,she immediately ordered that Barbara be discharged from the hospital because she now considered Barbara to be mentally stable.
She went to Barbara and said, "I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you're being discharged because you responded so rationally to a crisis. By jumping in the pool to save the life of another patient, you displayed sound mindedness." The bad news is that Bud, the patient you ! saved, hung himself in his bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. Iam so sorry, but he's dead."
Barbara replied, "He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"
******************************************
A girl came skipping home from school one day. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled. "We were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" "Yes, it's because you're blonde," her mother replied.
The next day, the girl came skipping home from school. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled, "we were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" Yes, pumpkin, it's because you're blonde."
The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled, "we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these!" And she lifted her tank top to reveal a pair of 36Cs. "Very good," said her embarrassed mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" "No... it's because you're 25."

The 5 Stages Of Drunkenness
Stage 1 - SMART
This is when you suddenly become an expert on every subject in the known Universe. You know everything and want to pass on your knowledge to anyone who will listen. At this stage you are always RIGHT. And of course the person you are talking to is very WRONG This makes for an interesting argument when both parties are SMART.
Stage 2 - GOOD LOOKING
This is when you realize that you are the BEST LOOKING person in the entire bar and that people fancy you. You can go up to a perfect stranger knowing they fancy you and really want to talk to you. Bear in mind that you are still SMART, so you can talk to this person about any subject under the sun.
Stage 3 - RICH
This is when you suddenly become the richest person in the world. You can buy drinks for the entire bar because you have an armored truck full of money parked behind the bar. You can also make bets at this stage, because of course, you are still SMART, so naturally you will win all your bets. It doesn't matter how much you bet because you are RICH. You will also buy
drinks for everyone that you fancy, because now you are the BEST LOOKING person in the world.
Stage 4 - BULLET PROOF
You are now ready to pick fights with anyone and everyone especially those with whom you have been betting or arguing. This is because nothing can hurt you. At this point you can also go up to the partners of the people who you fancy and challenge them to a battle of wits or money. You have no fear of losing this battle because you are SMART, you are RICH and hell, you're BETTER LOOKING than they are anyway!
Stage 5 - INVISIBLE
This is the Final Stage of Drunkenness. At this point you can do anything because NO ONE CAN SEE YOU. You dance on a table to impress the people who you fancy because the rest of the people in the room cannot see you. You are also invisible to the person who wants to fight you. You can walk through the street singing at the top of your lungs because no one can see or hear you and because you're still SMART, you know all the words

Joke
It has long been contended that there are male jokes and there are female jokes, and there are unisex jokes. Here is a joke I consider a true female joke. I offer it to you in the hopes that women will love it and men will pass it along to a woman who will love it.
A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy,middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him.
The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. (As all men will.)
Before she could offer her apologies for staring so rudely, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00......on one condition."
Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words."
The woman considered his proposition for a moment, and then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly and meaningfully said....
"Clean my house."

Len Evans - dead!
Seen on the wall of Brokenwood Winery last weekend..........I met Len Evans 20 years ago, I presented him with some old books, (he collected them for the titles) and he seemed a nice man, who loved his wines, and the Hunter. R.I.P.
