See if this gets by:-

Having just returned from a long weekend in nearby Canada, I

had a few Canadian dollars left over that I needed to exchange,

so I went to the currency exchange window at my local bank.



There was an Asian lady in front of me in the line who was trying

to exchange yen for dollars. She appeared to be a quite irritated.



She asked the teller, 'Why it change?? Yesterday, I got two hunat

dolla fo yen. Today I get only hunat ninety?? Why it change??'



The teller shrugged his shoulders, smiled pleasantly and said,

'Fluctuations'.



The Asian lady says, 'Fluc you white people, too'

Are these two classes being taught under the new "Things Women Don't Need Men To Do For Them, But Can Handle Themselves With Surprisingly Little Training And Practice" program? Y'know, the one with the "How To Lower A Toilet Seat" and "Taking Out The Trash; Smaller Bags Are Lighter" classes?

Note that misspelling, starring out letters and so on does not excuse the use of the word you managed to misspell and meas their use is still prohibited by the rules here.
I'll let it stay because you managed to make an inadvertent joke by messing up the spelling.

Well.......it seems there was this young American bird watcher, and after
acquiring a considerable grant from the Audibon Society, took his sabatical
in the Shetland Islands off Scotland. It's a terribly lonely place, you see.
Well...he had been there for three months and hadn't seen a soul, when one day he heard a great rap upon his little viewing hut;whereupon he opened the door, and by George....there were a shetlander ! He was this great bear of a man with a huge red beard and he was wearing the kilt and smiling for the day
as he says " Well, lad, I'd like to invite you to a great party!"
To which the bird watcher says " Gee, I'd love a party. I haven't seen anyone for months!".
" Aye !" says the Shetlander...." Well there'll be plenty to eat and drink to be sure."
"Well , I 'm sick of my own cooking and I never drink alone, so that's great."
" Aye , lad. There'll be plenty of dancing and carrying on ,.... and later,
there's bound to be a fight.....there's always a fight!" He said with a twinkle in his eyes.
" Great," says the birdwatcher. " I used to cut up a rug dancing and in college
I used to fight golden gloves! "

" Aye,....well, ye be all tooled up then . And later on ...there'll be plenty o' great sex!"
" And the birdwatcher says...." Well, things have been pretty dull;
I'm ready for anything.
......Say....how shall I dress for the party? "
" Oh...well just come as ye are,lad. There's only the two of us!"

There are three men stranded on top of a cliff. A fairy says that if they jump off, they can land in whatever they yell the name out of and still be safe, but each thing can only be said once.
The first guy shouts "Gold!" and jumps off.
The second guy shouts "Diamonds!" and jumps off.
The third guy jumps, then sees how high he's falling from and shouts "Rats!"
The first two guys are millionaires now, and the third guy has rabies from so many rat bites.

I would have yelled "pillows."


Never trust a fairy.

If you don't trust the fairy, why jump at all?

A PRAYER FOR THE STRESSED

Grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change,
the courage to change the things i cannot accept,
and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those i had killed today because they got on my nerves.
And also , help me to be careful of the toes i step on today as they maybe connected to the feet i may have to kiss tomorrow.
Help me always give 100% at work...
12% on monday,
23% on tuesday,
40% on wednesday,
20% on thursday
and 5% on friday.
And help me to remember....
When i am having a bad day and it seems that people are trying to wind me up, it takes 42 muscles to frown, 28 to smile and only 4 to extend my arm and smack someone in the mouth!

Default Re: Jokes!

There was an umpire in MLB who was disliked by all the players and the managers/coaches. He would make bad, inconsistent calls and quickly eject anyone who complained. He was also disliked by his fellow umpires, since he had given the rest of them a bad name.

His behavior on the field was nothing compared to that at home. He'd beat his wife, spank his son, and kick the dog just out of spite.

One day a member of the officiating team noticed in the Baseball Umpire Daily that it was this particular disliked umpire's 50th birthday. He met with the other two umpires and it was decided that, even though the guy was a real boor, they'd take him out to dinner after the game.

Surprisingly the birthday umpire accepted their offer, and after tossing both managers during the game, he and the other umpires had dinner at a bar & grill noted for its burgers and selection of beers and liquors. As the nasty umpire drank beer after beer, his disposition began to change and eventually he began telling jokes and kidding around. His fellow umps were amazed at the transformation.

After a few hours it was obviously time for the party to end. One of the other umpires provided the guest of honor with a ride home, since he was in no condition to drive.

When he got in the door, his family cringed as usual. But, to their shock, the umpire complimented his wife on her hair and clothes, he gave the dog a good rub and treated him to a burger he had smuggled home, and finally he sat down in his easy chair, called to his son, and told him to sit on his knee while he told him some funny baseball stories.

But the son refused.

Which proves that the son never sits on the brutish umpire.

Here's the best old joke I've ever seen. Found in a newspaper dated 11 January 1923:

Struck by the notice "Iron Sinks" in a shop window, a wag went inside and said that he was perfectly aware of the fact that "iron sank."

Alive to the occasion, the smart shopkeeper retaliated: "Yes, and time flies, but wine vaults, sulphur springs, jam rolls, grass slopes, music stands, Niagara Falls, moonlight walks, sheep run, Kent hops, and holiday trips; scandal spreads, standard weights, India rubber tyres, the organ stops, the world goes round, trade returns and — "

But the visitor had bolted. After collecting his thoughts, he returned, and, showing his head at the doorway, shouted: "Yes, I agree with all of that perfectly, and marble busts."

"don't be silly man, the dog would bite yer!"
