Rep Power: 17  | Re: The best divorce letter ever written! A crusty old artillery colonel found himself at a gala event downtown hosted by a local liberal arts college.
There was no shortage of extremely young, idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the colonel for conversation. She said, "Excuse me sir but you seem to be a very serious man. Are you this way all the time or is something bothering you?"
"No," the colonel said, "just serious by nature." The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, "It looks like you have seen a lot of action."
The colonel's short reply was, "Yep, a lot of action."
The young lady tiring of trying to start up a conversation said, "You know, you should lighten up a little - relax and enjoy yourself.
The colonel just stared at her in his serious manner.
Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?" The colonel looked at her and replied, "1954."
She said, "Well there you go; you really need to chill out and quit taking everything so serious I mean no sex since 1954 - that's a little extreme."
The colonel, glancing at his watch said in his matter of fact voice, "Oh, I don't know. It's not but 2110 right now!" |

Rep Power: 11  | Re: Two Peanuts Walk Into A Rowdy Bar Hi All,
Not a bar joke but I'm sure it'll be OK!
In the days when it was Datsun and not Nissan a problem arose.
At the Tokyo assembly plant the manager of the gearbox supply division suddenly discovered that certain gears cogs had not been ordered. He realised that as the 1600cc models were coming off the assembly line at an alarming rate there was a strong chance that soon there would be a yard full of cars without gearboxes.
PANIC STATIONS! There was a huge parts depot at Osaka (I'm not sure that the cities are correct - I'm making it up as I go along!) where the gearbox cogs and parts were stored. The company Lear jet was summoned and the pilot and co-pilot were instructed to fly to Osaka as fast as they could to collect the necessary cogs.
As the plane landed a horde of mechanics dressed in white overalls and red baseball caps rushed in and stripped out all the seats which they parked on the runway. The gears were packed in synthetic nylon bags to maximise space otherwise crates would have taken up too much space. The bags were packed into the fuselage like sardines in a can.
The Lear jet took off and as the pilot was intent in getting back to Tokyo in double quick time he didn't even reach ceiling but flew low over the countryside with throttle wide open. In the rush no one gave thought to the question of the weight of the load and as the Lear was screaming over a rice paddy fields the belly ripped open along its entire length. As the synthetic nylon bags dropped out they were torn to shreds in seconds at a speed of a few hundred miles per hour. Thousands of gears started falling to earth.
Down below two rice farmers had witnessed the drama. One turned to the other and said,
'Ha, I see it's raining Dats and Cogs!'
One gets shot for that kind of joke, but luckily I'm far from most of you!!
Have fun,
Andre 40 |

Rep Power: 11  | Re: Two Peanuts Walk Into A Rowdy Bar Hi Rob,
He,he,he, good one! I'll pass it on to by buddies at Nissan South Africa. Many jokes about Nelson Mandela which I believe he takes good naturedly in his stride. Truth being stanger than fiction his loyal PA is a blonde Afrikaans speaking girl, Zelda le Grange, who is from former 'enemy background'. A bit like Chris Melia being married to a Russian lady. Someone once said, 'To hell with 'Dallas' - life is a soap opera!
Many of the above jokes I've already heard around town, further proof of the global village in which we live.
In the past many people have asked from whence the jokes come (you can't say 'where they come from' because a preposition is a bad word to end a sentence with!).
Theory is that many jokes have originated in the City of London at Lloyds where young brokers traditionally had to queue to place business. I don't know if this tradition still applies, but legend has it that these young intelligent guys get bored queueing and than all the banter and jokes start along the line, which then go around the world.
Urban legend or fact? Your'e a well-informed person - opinion please.
Best wishes,
Andre 40 |

Rep Power: 12  | Re: Two Peanuts Walk Into A Rowdy Bar Hello Andre - you have a PM.
Not sure about the Lloyds joke connection, and I worked in the City for a little while (as a lowly bank clerk).
However, on the topic of Lloyds, a female singer finishes her set, walks across to the bar and brags to the barman in a loud voice: "Honey, two years ago, I insured my lips with Lloyds of London for £1,000,000."
There is a hushed silence across the bar. Then the bartender leans forward and says quietly: "So what did you do with the money...?"

Rep Power: 5  | Re: Two Peanuts Walk Into A Rowdy Bar OK OK the Tarmac one reminded me .......
A lump of black Tarmac goes into the bar.
He's really throwing his weight about, bragging about how tough and hard he is and generally giving it large.
"I'm the toughest Tarmac" etc etc "I'm so hard I'm your worst nightmare" etc etc.
Everyone is scared.
Then suddenly a lump of red Tarmac bursts through the door and goes up to the bar, and the black Tarmac runs away and cowers in the corner of the room.
The red Tarmac has his drink, gives a real tough look around the room and then leaves.
The black Tarmac returns to the bar and continues, when the barman plucks up the courage to say to him.....
"I thought you said you were the toughest thing around, really hard and all that. What were you doing hiding in the corner just now ?"
To which he replied "Yeah sure I'm real tough, but that red Tarmac, you got to watch him, he's a f***ing CYCLEPATH !"

Rep Power: 11  | Re: Two Peanuts Walk Into A Rowdy Bar A fella was a real Yamaha enthusiast and he'd only ever owned and ridden Yamahas. His study and garage walls were plastered with Yamaha posters and memoribilia, Kenny Roberts, Eddie Lawson ,etc, etc.
Only problem is that he had an usual afflication - whenever he farted it would go 'PFrrrrr - H-O-N-D-A!'
His pals at his local bike club would tease him relentlessly about his problem and he developed such a complex that he went to doctors and specialists one after the other but to no avail.
One day when he had tooth ache he went to his dentist and as he sat down in the chair, now really desperate, he told the man about his unusual problem. The dental man the took x-rays and said that he had a massive abscess above one his upper teeth.
Then the doctor said, 'I think I have the answer to your problem - Abscess makes the fart go Honda'. |

Rep Power: 14   | Re: Two Peanuts Walk Into A Rowdy Bar A blind man entered a ladies bar by mistake. He found his way to a barstool and ordered a drink. After sitting there for a while, he yelled to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"
The bar immediately fell absolutely silent.
In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him said, "Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is just fair - since you are blind - that you know five things:
1. The bartender is a blonde girl.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3. I'm a 6 feet tall, 220 lb. blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional weight
lifter.
5. The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler.
Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"
The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares, "Nah... Not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times |

Noah replies, "No probs God, me old Supreme Being anything you want after all you're the guv".
But God interrupts, "Ah, but there's a catch. This time Noah, I want not just a couple of decks . . . I want 20 decks one on top of the other".
"20 DECKS!", screams Noah. "Well, OK Big Man, whatever you say. Should I fill it up with all the animals just like last time?"
>Yep, that's right, well . . . sort of right . . . this time I want you to fill it up with fish", God answers.
"Fish?", queries Noah.
"Yep, fish . . . well, to make it more specific Noah, I want Carp wall to wall, floor to ceiling - Carp!"
Noah looks to the skies. "OK God my old mucker, let me get this right,you want a New Ark?"
"Check".
With 20 decks, one on top of the other?".
"Check".
And you want it full of Carp?".
"Check".
Why?" asks the perplexed Noah, who was slowly but surely getting to the end of his tether . . . . . .

Rep Power: 17  | Re: Two Peanuts Walk Into A Rowdy Bar A vampire bat came flapping in from the night, face all covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the ceiling of the cave to get some sleep.
Pretty soon all the other bats could smell the blood and began hassling him about where he got it.
He told them to piss off and let him get some sleep, but they persisted until he finally gave in.
“OK, follow me”, he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him. Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a huge forest. Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him, tongues hanging out for blood.
“Do you see that large oak tree over there?” he asked.
“Yes, yes, YES!!” the bats all screamed in a frenzy.
“Good” said the first bat, “because I f..king didn’t!” |
