    right lets get a few laffs up

    Paddy says to Mick, "I think my butchers a drug dealer." "What makes you think that?" Mick replied. Paddy said, "He's got a sign in the window, two joints for £10."

    I woke up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night and noticed a Liverpool fan sneaking through my next door neighbours garden. Suddenly my neighbour came from nowhere and smacked him over the head with a shovel, killing him instantly. He then began to dig a grave with the shovel. Astonished I got back into bed and my wife said, "You're shaking, what is it?" "You'll never believe what I've just seen? " I said. "That bastard next door still has my bloody shovel."

    Arguing with a woman is like buying a lottery ticket. You're probably not gonna win but you're sure as hell gonna try!

    I hate when people use big words just to make themselves look perspicacious.
    Especially when I'm inebriated beyond the exuberance of my own verbosity to notice.

    I let my wife take me for a drive in the countryside today. We were going down a quiet country lane when she said, "Shall we do something we've never done in the car before?" I said, "Go on then, bang it into fourth gear."

    In England, they will take a tree, cut it down, remove the branches and the bark until they are left with a cylinder. Next, they will take the cylinder of wood and turn it on a lathe and whittle away until they are left with a perfectly formed bat. The bat will be cured and treated to strengthen it and then, when it is finally ready, they will use it to knock a leather ball around a park.
    In Scotland, they just throw the fcking tree.

    There's nothing worse than having a Cranberries song stuck in your heeeeeeead, in your heeeeeead, in your head, in your head, in your hea, hea, hea, head....

    MAKING BABIES
    The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said,
    'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.'
    Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.
    'Good morning, he said, "I've come to..."
    "Oh, no need to explain," Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, "I've been expecting you."
    'Have you really?" Said the photographer. "Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?"
    "Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat."
    After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"
    "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there."
    "Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!"
    "Well, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."
    "My, that's a lot!" Gasped Mrs. Smith.
    "In my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that."
    "Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.
    The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus," he said.
    "Oh, my God!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
    "And these twins turned out exceptionally well, when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with."
    "She was difficult?" Asked Mrs. Smith.
    "Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look."
    "Four and five deep?" Said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
    "Yes", the photographer replied, "And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."
    Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh .. . . .equipment?"
    "It's true, yes. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
    "Tripod?"
    "Oh yes, I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand for very long."
    Mrs. Smith fainted.

    I found an iPhone on the bus today, so called the number in the contacts that said 'Home'. "Hello!" I said when they answered. "I've found your phone on the bus."
    "Oh, that's fantastic," said the woman "I know it is" I replied, "How do I work the camera?"

    My wife was going to pick me up from work but she phoned and said the cars broken down and I would have to catch the train home. I said, "What's happened?" She said, "there's water in the carburettor." I replied, "how do you know that?" She said, "it's in the river."

    I saw a van with a 'No tools left in this van overnight' sticker on the back.
    So I broke in during the day.

    Sam...it just had to be done!!!

      morning all,
      wow, a late sleep in.... now I'm late. Mick, enjoyed the chuckles this morning, specially the photographer, and the pic at the end! Morning Snoop's. All well with you?
      So they had the big KKK rally at Charlottesville yesterday, One person I play music with is from there, I asked him why he wasn't there, said his sheets were dirty. He only wears fitted sheets. Strange group of folks who think they're a superior race?? whats up with that??

      Reckon as I ponder the questions of the universe I best gather myself to get out the door and go to work.

      have a super Sun eveyone

          Mick...that's exactly how I feel. Where has this year gone??? Still waiting to see my first courgette. Those pic's look like paradise. The stress did shift in the beginning and I didn't worry about every little thing. Now I'm finding the new boss is a lot of talk and little action. Now I find myself making sure he's done what he's supposed to do and the logistics of an event are thought through. Went over to the garden yesterday and got bombarded by the renters with complaints of things not done as promised. Sorted them out and then my caterers showed up and the complaining started again. The instructions left for them don't make any sense. Sorted them out for last night's event then we went through the next 5 bookings noting what more is needed for them to do their job. I am going to request a meeting with the boss tomorrow as I am not going to keep covering his ass. Had enough of that with previous boss. If he's not going to do it properly then give it to me, along with financial compensation, or be prepared for the complaints and 2am phone calls. Thanks Mick...just had to get that off my chest. LOL

          SF...good for you standing up for yourself. I need to change my mindset and decide I'm not responsible for everything and don't need to put up with crisis management due to someone else's incompetence. Just got to let them fall on their face.

          Lav...I would have thought the black "sand" would burn your feet as well.

          Snoop...morning to you too.

          Son just came down to cook breakfast, got to go put my order in. Have a Super Sunday all....:smile:PPQP

              Good evening Abbers,

              Hope your tummy is feeling better Mick - too much rich food on vacation maybe?
              I doubt that I will ever get to a black sand beach so thanks for the pics & the info
              Your jokes were extraordinary today, ha ha!

              Sam, I heard about the KKK assembly in Charlottesville. I saw them years ago when I flew out to a conference at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. Geez, what a bunch of bozos. My husband swears his grandfather had something to do with them, way back in the day. I found that hard to believe because when I knew him he was just a nice little old man.

              Pauly, if you want to see rain, come to the east coast. It's so damp here there are mushrooms pooping up in the grass & in the new mulch, ha ha!!

              Hi there SnoopStar!

              PQ, is history repeating itself? I don't think you are willing to let another boss get all the glory & the extra $$ while you do all the work
              If you need any backup, let me know. I have a little extra angst right now & I will help you straighten things out, Lol

              Hello to the rest of the crew & wishing everyone a peaceful night.
              Turns out I will be hosting my oldest grandson two days & nights this week while his parents are either out of town or working. So he will have 48 hours here with me & that makes me happy

                My parents admitted that the night I was concieved they were pissed on cheap Australian lager.

                Not nice finding out you're a Fosters child.

                I saw a guy in the pub last night carrying 12 pints of lager.

                I thought, that guy can really hold his drink.

                Paddy in Wetherspoons:
                "How much is your lager?"

                Barman: "£2 a pint and £7 a pitcher"

                Paddy: I'll just have a pint, fck the photo!

                To the person who hid my shoes while I was on the bouncy castle!...

                Grow up.

                Condoms don't guarantee safe sex... a friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot by the woman's husband.

                My daughter wanted a Cinderella themed birthday party,

                So I made her and all her friends clean the house.

                My wife said she's leaving me because I can't do anything right when it comes to housework.

                Selfish git! Took me hours to mop that carpet!

                After years of doubt I'm now convinced my wife is having an affair!

                We've moved 250 miles north & we've still got the same window cleaner

                        MAE ALL...

                        Raining here too Mick...actually we're under a sever thunderstorm watch. It was kind of eerie out all day, very dark clouds hanging around. I like a good thunderstorm as long as I don't lose power or have to go anywhere. It was one thing to cover my boss during his chemo brain fog but it's not happening with the new guy. One of the things he hasn't got around to yet is reviewing job descriptions. I'm going to make him spell it out in black and white who is responsible for what. That's a first for the horses isn't it? Glad you were able to replant them.

                        Pauly...I agree. Sometimes I think I'm just too nice. Hampsters were the only pet my kids had too. Hope you had a good day.

                        Shout out to everyone else. Got to start the bacon for bacon and tomato sandwiches for dinner tonight. Hope we all have a peaceful evening....:smile:PPQP

                          Good evening Abbers,

                          That's a very welcoming doorway you have there Mick
                          I can't imagine horses pulling rose bushes out of the ground but if you say so, ha ha! I know the damage deer have done to our fruit trees by eating the tops right out of the trees, geez.

                          Pauly, good luck with the hamster. We had one once & that was enough for me, LOL I think the poor thing literally ate himself to death, he was obese at the end.

                          PQ, be grateful for the rain. We are starting another heat wave tomorrow that's supposed to hang around all week with temps feeling like 100+, ugh.
                          I hope you get your job description settled very soon!!!

                          My grandson will be here tomorrow after dinner to spend the night & all day Wednesday & the night too (I think). The younger grandson is apparently going on a business trip with his mother. I really don't have any information because she hasn't talked to us for almost a year
                          I'm just making the best of every day & grateful for whatever I get at this point.

                          Hello to the rest of the rcew & wishing everyone a nice night!

                            Mick, thanks for the humorous bootup as always. Is monitoring commercial air traffic a hobby of yours? I'm into all manner of esoteric things
                            myself. Those roses are just amazing...so many great colors.
                            One of your jokes from yesterday includes with word perspicacious which happens to be my word for today. I only just read back today to see it.... hmmmm.

                            Lav, enjoy your family visit and try not to melt

                            Got out to shoot with a buddy yesterday and we enjoyed several hours of deep and interesting conversation about consciousness, physics and all manner
                            of geeky good fun. If anyone wants to check out some amazing fun with physics and nature just google 'the Fibonacci sequence'. Amazing stuff.

                            Allergies are zonking me pretty hard but compared to a hangover or dreaded AL detox this is child's play.

                              morning all,
