The Sprinter


In the Bathroom.


With The Gun..

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror.
Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday.
'I'd like to be eight again', she replied, still looking in the mirror .

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her to “Adventure World” theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything
there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her
stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate milkshake.Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soft drink, and her favourite lollies, M&M's..

What a fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being
eight again?



Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.


'I meant my dress size, you f@*#*!g idiot '

The moral of the story: Even when a man is
listening, he is gonna get it wrong

Ain't that the truth!

'fraid so!! :o)

That shows why it's best to never listen.

My wife said something that shocked me last week, no she did not admit to an affair, no she had not spent all my money, or admitted to a love child, in she actually said 'sorry'.

The shock was, its the first time she has ever said that word to me, after 34 years of marriage.

She must have got you mixed up with her lover!

Or spent all your pension!!

She never finished the sentence! What was she sorry or? It was meant as a torture while you work it out.

Must say the comments to my post made me smile his snow covered morning.

Edinburgh man Wullie McTavish is on his deathbed, knows the end is
near, is with the nurse, his wife, his daughter and 2 sons.

"So", he says to them: "Bernie, I want you to take the Braid Hills houses."

"Sybil, take the flats over in Morningside and Bruntsfield."

"Tam, I want you to take the offices in Charlotte Square."

"Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings in the
New Town."

The nurse is just blown away by all this, and as Wullie slips away,
she says, "Mrs. McTavish, your husband must have been such a hard
working man to have accumulated all this property".

Sarah replies, "Property? ... the bugger has a paper round!"

Anna lost her husband some four years ago.

Her daughter was constantly urging her to get back into the world.

Finally, Anna said she'd go out, but didn't know anyone..


Her daughter immediately replied, 'Mom I have someone for you to meet.'


Well, it was an immediate hit.

They took to one another and after dating for six weeks,
he asked her to join him for a weekend in Vermont ..

Their first night there, she undressed as did he.

There she stood naked, except for a pair of black lacy panties;


he was in his birthday suit.

Looking her over, he asked, 'Why the black panties?'

She replied: 'My breasts you can fondle, my body is yours to explore, but down there I am still mourning.'

He knew he was not getting lucky that night.

The following night was the same -- she stood there wearing the black panties, and he was in his birthday suit -- but now he was wearing a black condom.

She looked at him and asked: 'What's with the black condom?'

He replied,
'I want to offer my deepest condolences!!'

A young Geordie lad moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a job. The manager asked "Do you have any sales experience?"




The young man answered "Aye, hods, I was a canny salesman back in Newcastle." The manager liked the Geordie so he gave him the job.



His first day on the job was challenging and busy, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the manager came down and asked "OK,...... so how many sales did you make today?" The Geordie said "Just the one, Marra." The manager groaned and continued "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for? £124,237.64" replied the Geordie.







The manager choked and exclaimed £124,237.64, what the hell did you sell him?"







"Well, forst I selt him a smaal fish hook, then a medium fish hook, and then I selt him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was gannin' fishing and he said doon at the coast, so I telt him he would need a boat, so we went doon tiv the boat department and I selt him that twin-engined Power Cat. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him doon tiv the car sales and I selt him the 4 x 4 Suzuki". The manager, incredulous, said "You mean to tell me....a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and 4x4?"







"Nah, nah......he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his ladyfriend and I said......... 'Well, since ya weekend's f*****, you might as well gan fishing

A Swiss man, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two Texans are waiting.

"Entschuldigung, können Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks. The two Texans just stare at him.

"Excusez-moi, parlez vous français?" The two continue to stare.

"Parlate italiano?" No response.

"¿Hablan ustedes español?" Still nothing.

So he has a final try: "Tatakalamaani bil arabiyya?"

The Swiss man drives off, extremely disgusted.

The first Texan turns to the second and says, "You know Bubba, maybe we should learn a foreign language."

"Why?" says the other. "That guy knew five and it didn't do him any good."
