I share with you some amusing things that my mum sends to me occasionally:
A boy asks his granny, "Have you seen my pills, they were labelled LSD?"
Granny replies, "F*** the pills, have you seen the dragons in the
kitchen?!"
Little Billy asks his dad for a telly in his room. Dad reluctantly agrees.
Next day Billy comes downstairs and asks, "Dad, what's love juice?" Dad
looks horrified and tells Billy all about sex.
Billy just sat there with his mouth open in amazement.
Dad says, "So what were you watching?"
Billy says, "Wimbledon."
An elderly couple are attending Mass.
About halfway through, the wife leans over and says to her husband, 'I
just let out a silent fart; what do you think I should do?'
He replies, 'Put a new battery in your hearing aid.'
The FBI had an opening for an assassin.
After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists; two men and a woman.
For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
'We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances.
Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair . . . Kill her!!'
The man said,
'You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife.'
The agent said, 'Then you're not the right man for this job.
Take your wife and go home.'
The second man was given the same instructions.
He took the gun and went into the room All was quiet for about 5 minutes.
The man came out with tears in his eyes,
'I tried, but I can't kill my wife.'
The agent said, 'You don't have what it takes. Take your wife home.'
Finally, it was the woman's turn.
She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband.
She took the gun and went into the room.
Shots were heard, one after another.
They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls.
After a few minutes, all was quiet.
The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping the sweat from her brow.
'This gun is loaded with blanks' she said. 'I had to beat him to death with the chair.'
After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe
sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the
form,and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour.
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas'
pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S)by maintenance engineers.
By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an
accident... Enjoy!
