Whoever Invented The Selfie Needs To Take A Good Look At Themselves.

“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”

.

And since it’s pun day again you need to take a good look at this latest batch.

Enjoy or endure!!!

.

.

What do you call

a German on speaker phone?

Hans Free

.

.

‘Sugar’

is the only word in the English language

in which the S, is pronounced ‘sh’.

I’m sure of that.

.

.

My brother has had to

close down his archery business.

In the first 12 months 

he didn’t hit any of his targets .

.

.

Ten years in the same job and

not once have I been in the boss’s office.

That’s what got me fired as a cleaner.

.

.

Just been mugged and beaten up.

I tried to defend myself with a drawing pin.

Turns out a tac isn’t the best form of defense after all.

.

.

Before we split up, my wife

was obsessed with horoscopes.

I’m sure that’s what Taurus apart.

.

.

I was on the freeway when a guy driving in the other direction

started flashing his lights, beeping his horn and screaming,

“You’re going the wrong way!”

What an idiot.

He didn’t even know where I was going.

.

.

What has a pee at

the end of a tram?

A tramp.

.

.

Breaking News:

Man arrested over missing woman

Imagine if he’d hit her???

.

.

Adoption jokes –

There’s never a good time to tell them.

.

.

I don’t approve of my girlfriend’s one night stand.

Why should she be the only one with

somewhere to put a bedside lamp.

.

.

I threw three DVDs at exactly the same time

to see which one would hit the wall first.

It was a discrace.

.

.

My wife called me into the bathroom

and asked me to wash her back.

I don’t remember her

washing me in the first place.

.

.

Erectile dysfunction;

just when you thought

it couldn’t get any harder.

.

.

My wife, Lorraine, has just found out that 

I have been cheating on her with Clara next door.

Last night, she packed her things and left.

I can see Clara now, Lorraine has gone.

Take it away Johnny….

Sex While Camping: It’s Intense!

“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”

.

A little word play, get it? Intense? In tents??

Okay, okay.

Yes, it’s pun day. And they get better (or worse) than that.

So, enjoy!

.

.

Today my girlfriend told me on the phone

that we were breaking up.

I went outside and the signal improved.

. 

. 

Police searching for a missing child heard heavy breathing

coming from a parked van.

But, when they looked,

it was just a kid napping.

. 

. 

Last night I settled down to eat some Ben & Jerry’s with a DVD.

I couldn’t be bothered to wash a spoon.

. 

. 

Pythagoras walks into a bar muttering,
‘If a right-angled triangle has a short side, X,

a long side, Y,

and hypotenuse, Z,

then the square of Z must be equal to

the sum of the square of X and the square of,

erm… uh…’

The barman says, ‘Y, the long face?’

. 

. 

My friend asked me:

“What is the shortest race in the Olympics?”

After thinking for a few minutes, I came up with an answer:

“Chinese,” I replied.

. 

. 

My wife was running a temperature so I rang the doctor.

He asked was she hot.

I said, “Well, with a little make-up…”

. 

. 

I was clinging for dear life to the face of the cliff.

As the rescue team approached one of the guys shouted

“Whatever you do, don’t look down”.

So I started smiling.

. 

. 

My house was repossessed at the weekend

but I don’t blame the bank.

It’s that useless priest not doing

the exorcism properly in the first place.

. 

. 

My wife said we would have less arguments

if I wasn’t so pedantic.

I said, “FEWER ARGUMENTS”. 

. 

. 

A shop assistant dared to ask me why I needed

twenty pots of White Out this morning.

Big mistake.

. 

. 

I’m thinking about turning rastafarian,

but I’m worried about the stress it will put on my hair…

I’m dreading it.

.. 

. 

People call me Mr Compromise.

Wasn’t my first choice for a nickname,

but I can live with it.

. 

. 

I’m only familiar with 25 letters of the alphabet.

I don’t know why.

. 

. 

I needed some milk this morning,

so I went round to my neighbors

and asked them through the window.

“We’re all out,” they replied.

“No you’re not,” I said. “I can hear you in there.”

. 

. 

Every time I pour a round of drinks,

it goes all over the place.

I think I need glasses.

. 

. 

Drinking with a speech impediment

Is a whisky business.

. 

. 

My friend never had the courage to get married,

But he has been engaged quite a few times.

So there’s been quite a few near Mrs.

. 

. 

After I won the local pub quiz last night

two gorgeous blondes came over to me.

The first one said,

“We find intelligent men incredibly hot and sexy.”

The second blonde said,

“Do you know what three way is?”

I replied,

“Yes, it’s the name of the dog in Hart to Hart.”

Dumb blondes will need a better quiz question than that

if they want to get the better of me,

I thought smugly to myself as I left the pub.

Btw, the name’s “Freeway” not “Three way” dummy!

. 

. 

Everything is easier said than done.

Except for talking, that’s about the same.

. 

. 

At any time, the temptation to sing

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

is never more than a whim away.

Things Your Grand-kids Will Probably Never Know

“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”

.

We all happen to be living during a time when there are great advances and changes being made in the way we live our lives. Some of them are to our benefit, other not so much so.

Politically and financially the world is in turmoil. There is an accelerating and inevitable shift of power and influence towards the east, with former great powers like Britain and America declining in their influence and their economic might.

Perhaps that is a natural phenomenon, after all as they say “every dog has its day”, but I happen to believe that a lot of it is due to stupidity and mismanagement allied with a self-defeating philosophy that the west somehow has a duty to police the world and to create nanny states for its citizens where they will neither have to work nor want.

Technologically there have also been many changes and many more to come. During the past twenty years with the advent and growth of the internet everything has changed, from the way we interact socially, to how and where we work, and how we manage our affairs whether that be banking, shopping or whatever.

What a lot of these changes mean is that future generations will have no idea of how our lives used to be. Already many of us who have lived through the changes have forgotten how we used to have to do things. What would it be like trying to explain the ‘old days’ to a generation with absolutely no point of reference to the world we were born into?

To remind you of how it used to be here is a list of some of things we have known and lost, consigned to the rubbish bin of history. Feel free to add your own items to this list of things that your grand-kids will probably never know.
