    I recently called an old engineering friend of mine and asked what he was doing lately. He replied he was "working on thermal aqua treatment of ceramic, aluminum and steel materials under a constrained environment."

    I was impressed until I found out he was doing the dishes under the supervision of his wife.

    This one I shall remember and ... ahem ... repeat, with variations, as my own.

    Black Female looking for male companionship. Ethnicity not important. I am a very good looking girl who loves to PLAY. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup, hunting, camping, and fishing trips, on long winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out your hand. When you get home from work, I will greet you in my natural beauty. Interested? Call (404) 555=1212. Ask for Daisy.

    Mrs RR and I are avid supporters of Cats Protection. We wondered if an analogous 'come on' advert for our many delightful and appreciative pussies of all ages that need rehoming would be as effective. Then again, perhaps it's best not to go there!

    No. However, if 1500 men responded to the ad, you can bet someone adopted her.
  • 89 year old Ron Chester was stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and was asked where he was going at that time of night.
    Ron replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."
    The officer asked, "Really? Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"
    Ron replied, "That would be my wife.

    Supposed to be a true story about legendary football manager Brian Clough and legendary centre half Larry Lloyd.

    In order to persuade Larry to sign for the then mid table 2nd division club he offered him a new washing machine. With the new machine duly plumbed in he signed and turned up at the Nottingham Forest training ground. There he was accosted by one of the laundry staff. “Are you Larry Lloyd? You’ve just cost us our washing machine. The manager sent two blokes down to take it round to your house.”

    'Prisoner at the bar,' intoned the judge, 'is thre anything you wish to say before sentence is passed on you?'
    The man in the dock sighed, looked towards the court ceiling and said: 'Beam me up, Scotty.'
    He got his silent chuckle fom those present, plus an extra six weeks on his sentence for impertinence.
    Not so much a bad joke as a case of misplaced humour.
    This was recounted to me by a police officer who said he was there.

    This is ancient and something of an urban myth. I've heard it in different parts of the country from the 1970s onwards.

    I'm sure it may well have happened somewhere though.

    One day my favourite judge sentenced an offender to 3 years. The offender sniggered and said, " I could do 3 years on my head". The judge replied, " Try 5 years on your feet then. It was not for nothing he was known as the Domino judge.
    Yes. It got reduced to 3 on appeal.

    MrsLB was just collecting some washing for a load. She asked for "dark stuff" so I offered her my book of Edgar Allen Poe short stories.

    She didn't find it as funny as I did. Ah well, I tried.

    A variation:

    "Prisoner at the bar" (said the judge) "have you anything to say before sentence is passed upon you?"
    "Bugger all" muttered the defendant.
    "What did he say?" asked the hard-of-hearing judge.
    " 'Bugger all', my Lord" replied the Clerk.
    "That's funny, I could have sworn he said something..."

    It was on a dreary, depressing, and desolate day in May that I perused the works of Edgar Allan Poe with an indefinable and unsufferable sense of melancholy - unsufferable I say for all sense of story or narrative was buried as far down as in a dismal grave in which an unfortunate wretch might be interred horribly alive by an innumerable and illimitable host of overwrought adjectives.

    I'm not sure what to recommend instead. P G Wodehouse?

    It's not for nothing, though, that Cockney rhymning slang for the pot that people used to keep underneath the bed was an 'Edgar Allen'.

    I can certainly appreciate his significance in the development of the detective novel and the thriller / horror genres but both his prose and poetry leave me cold.

    He was OK. His naan visited him every day. There was a bit of argy-bhaji with the discharge team at the end though. They wanted him to have a special pilau for his bed.

    He needed a lot of help with his diet. The dietician made him pakora-l supplements into his bag. It was the consultant who proved to be the keema-n in the end.

    Never a dhal moment after that.
