Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

FRIDAY FUNNY

"THE FAMOUS PAL DIET"

I have 2 large dogs & I was buying a huge bag of Pal at Sainsbury's and was standing in line at the check out.

The woman standing behind me asked if I had a dog.

On impulse, I replied "No madam, I do not".

I told her that I was starting 'The Famous Pal Diet' again, although I probably shouldn't because I had ended up in hospital last time. However, I told her that I'd managed to lose 50 pounds before I woke up in an intensive care unit with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV lines in both arms.

"That's amazing", she replied.

I told her that it was essentially the perfect diet and was so damn easy. "The way it it works is to load your pockets with Pal nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry ". "The food is so nutritionally complete that I am going to try it again in order to lose another 50 pounds".

I must mention that practically everyone in the line was by now totally enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was standing behind her.

Wide-eyed, she asked if the reason I'd ended up in the hospital in a coma was because I had been poisoned.

I replied "No madam; it was simply because I'd been sitting around in the middle of the road, licking my balls and minding my own business, when a car hit me".

Stupid b*tch...why else would I be buying dog food??

Jammyjimmy,

Jimmy, commiserations on your unexpected notoriety, however it must be gratifying in some small way to at least have your name in print.

FRIDAY FUNNY

A woman brought her very limp pet duck into a veterinary surgeon.
As she put her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, ''I'm so sorry, your duck Cuddles has passed away.'
The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?
"Yes, I am sure. The duck is definately dead," he replied.
"How can you be so sure," she protested. "I mean, you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something. I insist that you do some more tests "
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room and returned a few moments later with a black Labrador retriever.
As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed at the duck. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes, shook his head and barked twice.
The vet patted the dog and took it out and returned a few moment later with a cat.
The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird from head to foot.
The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."
Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.
The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill "1250!" she exclaimed. "1250 for christ's sake, just to tell me my duck is dead?"
The vet just shrugged, "I'm sorry lady, but if you had taken my word for it the bill would have been 20. Now of course, with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's gonna cost you 1250."
