One Liners and some funny stories
Surely some of these will raise a smile

Time for a Smile
Last Saturday afternoon I just happened to be passing the Army & Navy Surplus Stores, so I decided to drop in and take a look around.
After four or five minutes I went up to the man at the counter and said, "Great selection, but where are your camouflage jackets?"
"Yes, they're awfully good, aren't they?" he said.

Humour
A group of kindergarten children was on a class outing to their local police station. On a bulletin board there was a row of photos and an officer explained that they were the ten most wanted criminals.
One boy asked, 'Is that really the photo of a wanted man?'
'Yes', replied the officer.
'Well,' wondered the child, 'Why did you let him go? Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture?'

Time for a smile
An old woman went to her doctor, complaining of pain.
'Where are you hurting?' Asked the doctor.
'I hurt all over,' said the woman.
'What do you mean, 'all over'. Please be more specific.'
The woman touched her knee and yelled 'Ow, that hurts!'
Then she touched her cheek, 'Ouch! That hurts, too!'
Then she touched her earlobe, 'Ow, even that hurts!'
Doctor: 'Madam, you have a broken finger!'

Humour
Two guys are hiking in the forest when they suddenly come across a big Grizzly Bear. The shorter of the two takes off his hiking boots and puts on running shoes. His friend says to him "You're crazy! They will be of no use, don't you know how fast the Grizzlies are, you'll never be able to out run it!" The short guy replies, "I only have to run faster than you!"

Humour

Then he was asked what commandment he would break if he took his friend's bicycle. He replied, "The eighth: Do not steal."
Then he was asked what commandment he would break if he pulled his dog's tail. He hesitated, then said, "I don't know the number, but it goes like this:'What God has joined together, let no man pull apart'"

Easter Humour ~The Rules Of Chocolate

  • If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.
  • Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
  • The problem: How to get two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.
  • Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.
  • A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?
  • If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?
  • If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.
  • Money talks. Chocolate sings.
  • Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.
  • Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous? Because no one wants to quit.
  • Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.
  • Chocolate is a health food. Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. Beans are a vegetable. Sugar is derived either from sugar beets or cane, both vegetables. And, of course, the milk/cream is dairy. So eat more chocolate to meet the dietary requirements for daily vegetable and dairy intake!

Welsh Humour
Llewellyn worked for a publishing company in Cardiff and was engaged to Lorraine. All was going smoothly until a new assistant editor was appointed, a young lady named Clear-lee (a Welsh derivation of 'Clare'). Llewellyn found her very attractive but being engaged and an honourable lad, he kept his distance.
Then one Friday he got a call from Lorraine to say that she had got a job in New York, was moving there permanently - and was breaking off their engagement. Llewellyn was devastated and spent a miserable week-end. But driving to work on Monday morning he found his spirits lifting a little - and he began to hum: "I can see Clear-lee now Lorraine has gone!"

But I don't want to know if the patient is "better" or "doing like expected", or "worse".

Hospital attendant: 'OK, give me minute to bring up that file... Ok here we are... Now, Mrs. Hossleberg is doing very well. In fact, she's had two full meals, her doctor says if she continues improving as she is, he is going to send her home next Thursday.'
The woman said, 'Thank God! That's wonderful! She's going home next Thursday! I'm so happy to hear that. That's wonderful, wonderful news!'
Hospital: 'From your enthusiasm, I take it you must be one of the close family.'
She said, 'What close family? I AM Serena Hossleberg!! My silly doctor just won't tell me anything.'

Walking the dog
Flying from Seattle to San Francisco, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be an hour?s delay, and the passengers were welcome to get off the aircraft.
Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind and her seeing-eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her.
Being a regular on this flight, the pilot approached her and said, "Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?" The blind lady replied, "No thanks, but maybe Buddy, my dog would like to stretch his legs."
Picture this: All the passengers in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up to see the pilot wearing his sunglasses, walk off the plane with a seeing-eye dog! The People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, they were trying to change airlines!

Tranquillizers
The young mother was advised by a psychiatrist, "You are far too upset and worried about your son. I am going to give you a prescription for some tranquillizers that I want to you to start taking regularly."
On her next visit to the psychiatrist he asked her, "Have the tranquilizers calmed you down any?"
"Oh, yes," the mother answered. "They do wonders for me."
"And how is your son now?" he asked.
She replied: "Who cares ?"

Highway Humour
Excuse for Speeding
A police officer pulls a car over on the highway for speeding. When he asks for the driver's license, the driver argued, "Speeding??? But officer, I was only trying to keep a safe distance between my car and the car behind me."
Speeding Ticket
"What am I supposed to do with this?" grumbled a motorist as the policeman handed him a speeding ticket. "Keep it," the officer said, "when you collect four of them you get a bicycle."

Got a moment to Smile?
While sports fishing off the Queensland coast, a tourist capsized his boat. He could swim, but his fear of crocodiles kept him clinging to the overturned craft.
Spotting an old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist shouted, "Are there any crocs around here?!"
"Nah," the man hollered back, "they ain't been around for years!"
Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore.
About halfway there he called out to the guy on the shore, "How'd you get rid of the crocs?"
"We didn?t do nothing! The sharks cleaned 'em out."

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal, its throat was very small.

By now irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.
The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'
The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.

A little levity to lighten the day
A phone-order operator for a mail-order catalogue was having a very busy day. The switchboard was jammed with calls, and most people had to be put on hold.

The sheepish voice on the other line said, "I'm sorry. I want to place an order."
"Alright," the operator said, "Now, I need your name first."
"Oh, dear," she said, "how embarrassing. My name is Sister Patience."

Humour Corner

QUICK THINKING.
An elderly man in Central Queensland had owned a property for several years. He had a dam in one of the lower paddocks where he had planted mango and avocado trees. The dam had been fixed up for swimming when it was built and he also had some picnic tables placed there in the shade of the fruit trees.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the dam to look it over, as he hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a ten litre bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the dam, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his dam. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!"
The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the dam naked." Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed the crocodile."
Moral: Old men may walk slow, but they can still think fast.
