A FEW FUNNY STORIES (22 december 2004)
My brother Paul is not only a capable carpenter ( click), he also has a great sense of humour.
From time to time he sends me funny stories.
I'll share some of his recent contributions here with you. First a report from Ipswitch:
"Australia's worst air disaster occurred today when a small two-seater plane crashed into the cemetery in central Ipswich. Ipswich search and rescue workers have recovered 286 bodies so far and expect the number to climb as digging continues into the night..."
They say Dutch is a stupid language, but what to think about English?
There are no eggs in eggplants, and neither pine or apple in pineapple.
Quicksand takes you down slowly and boxing rings are square.
If the teacher taught, why don't they say the preacher praught?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
And if people from Poland are called Poles, why are people from Holland not called Holes?
Now that Christmas is near and we are hoping for snow - what happens when you predict snow but don't get any?
This is said to be a true story:
The tv station had a female news reader, who the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked: "So Bob where's that eight inches you promised me last night?."
Finally some Mickey Mouse story, but not exactly for small children ..
Mickey and Minnie Mouse were in divorce court and the judge said to Mickey: "You say here that your wife is crazy and that's why you want a divorce?"
Mickey replied: "I didn't say she was crazy, I said she was fucking Goofy".
