Remember what I said about gap-fillers in the previous post? Well, forget it. I just couldn't resist these I got in my mail today:
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his
teacher a note from his mother. The note read, "The
opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily
those of his parents."

My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom
to tell me he'd dropped his toothbrush in the toilet.
So I fished it out and threw it in the garbage.
Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to
my bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held
it up and said with a charming little smile, "We better
throw this one out too then, 'cause it fell in the
toilet a few days ago.

I was driving with my three young children one warm
summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of
us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was
reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout
from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a
seat belt!"

Writing With Emotional Appeal
There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his
desire to become a great writer. When asked to define "great" he
said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read,
stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff
that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day,
but I couldn't find any.

Mother had decided to trim her household budget
wherever possible, so instead of having a dress
dry-cleaned she washed it by hand.
Proud of her savings, she boasted to my father, "Just
think, we are five dollars richer because I washed this
dress by hand."
"Good," my dad quickly replied. "Wash it again!"

The Koala Bear
A Koala bear walks into a bar, sits down and orders a sandwich and the
bartender brings him a sandwich
The Koala eats the sandwich and gets up, spins around, pulls a pistol
out of his pouch, shoots the piano player, an proceeds to walk out of
the bar.
The bartender, in shock, shouts to the Koala, "hey who do you think you
are, you ate my sandwich and shot my piano player, and just where do you
think your going!
The Koala replies, "Hey I'm a Koala. Look it up."
The frustrated bartender pulls out a dictionary from behind the bar and
looks up Koala: "n. a marsupial that eats shoots and leaves."

I thought it was just a bear, not a Koala...
Some of those are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThe 'eats shoots and leaves' joke is usually a done with a panda, is it not? There's a book with that title, all about correct punctuation - have you seen it?
Yes, I'm sorry, it was a Panda. I read about the book in Blogger Knowledge once...
ReplyDeleteHobbes, all I can say is, you have good taste.
