It was just before Christmas and the magistrate was in a festive mood.
He asked the prisoner in the dock? 'What have you been charged with?'
(He himself could be charged with lack of awareness, but I digress.)
The prisoner replied; 'Doing my Christmas shopping early.'
'That's no crime,' asserted the magistrate, 'just how early were you doing
your shopping?'
'Before the store opened,' came the sheepish reply.

Any excuse for a giggle, Eman eg:

THE AUTUMN STATEMENT

We will be told he is keeping a tight
rein on wilful government finance,
but not even getting the timing right
tends to undermine our confidence.

Eman, I am sure we are all relieved that competent disaster management
has averted more severe repercussions from the latest weather crisis to hit
The Phillipines. Here are some tongue-in-cheek thoughts to make you smile:

THE MARRIAGE PHILOSOPHERS

By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy.
If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher - Socrates.

I had some words with my wife, and she had some paragraphs with me -
Sigmund Freud.

After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin;
they just can't face each other, but they stay together -
Sasha Guitry.

There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking.
It's called marriage - Sam Kinison.

The most effective way to remember you wife's birthday is to forget it, once ...
Ogden Nash.

Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go
to a restaurant twice a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music
and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays - Red Skelton.

:wink:

NOMINATIVE DETERMINISM

Thanks Marian. I confess to a tendency to keep on about it
ad nauseam, but surely the UKIP Roger Bird shenanagin is an
illuminating example of the phenomenon?

MARKETPLACE MISTLETOE

Pretty eighteen-year-old Jennifer sauntered up to the curtain counter
and was trying to decide which type of tinsel to buy. Finally, she selected
one and enquired of the spotty youth who was manning the fabric section:
'How much is this gold tinsel garland?'
He pointed to the mistletoe above the counter and said:
'This week we have a special offer, just one kiss per metre.'
'Wow!' she exclaimed,' 'That's great, I'll take 12 metres.'
With keen anticipation animating his countenance, the boy measured out
the tinsel, wrapped up the garland and handed it to Jennifer.'
She then gestured to the wizened old man browsing among the Christmas trees
and declared: 'My grandpa will settle the bill.'

THE NAME GAME

A stalwart of our golf society, Joe,
came from West Cork to London
numerous moons ago,
but merciless teasing over his marriage to Mary
left him with with just one ploy, and it's true,
of changing his name to Sid,
which he did - I wouldn't lie to you.

SENIORS' SAFEGUARDS

Kidnappers are not interested in you.

In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

You can live without sex but not your spectacles.

You no longer regard speed limits as a challenge.

You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter
who enters the room.

Things you buy now will never wear out.

Your joints are more accurate than the Met. Office.

Your secrets are safe with your friends because
they can't remember them either.

You can't remember who sent you this list.

:wink:

It's my pleasure, Brucie.

CUP FEVER IN ASHBURTON GROVE
(for Robert M)

Good luck to the Tigers of Hull City
on their hunt at The Emirates,
in sport, as in life, our destiny
is in the hands of fickle fates;
may this game be guided by Euterpe,
goddess of lyric poetry.

We go home
