THE GOOFS OF ACADEME

The following is a compilation of apparently genuine student
bloopers collected by teachers ... O tempora! O Mores!

Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all
wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and
travelled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such
that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.
Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the red Sea where they made
unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients.
Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments.
He died before he ever reached Canada.
Solomon had 300 wives and 700 porcupines.
Actually, Homer was not written by Homer, but by another
man of that name.
Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around
giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from
an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered
a dramatic decline.
In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled
the biscuits and threw the java.
Julius Caeser extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul.
The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he
was dying to be made king. Dying, he gasped:
'Tee hee, Brutus.'
Nero was a cruel tyranny who tortured his subjects by playing
the fiddle to them.
William Tell shot an arrow through an apple while standing
on his son's head.
Queen Elizabeth was the 'Virgin Queen'. As a queen, she was
a success. When she exposed herself before her troops, they
all shouted 'hurrah'.

THE TONGUE AND THE TREAT

A man enters a baker's shop and in a strong
Scottish accent enquires:
'Is that a cake or a meringue?'
'No, you're right.' replies the assistant.
'It's a cake.'

BELIAL ON THE BONNET

Two nuns are driving along when a demon
leaps on to the car hood.
The novice panics, but the mother superior
says calmly:
'Show him your cross.'
So the novice leans out of the window and yells:
'Get off our sodding car, you bas-tard!'

doh!

If you receive an email from the Department of Health telling you not to eat tinned pork because of swine flu - ignore it. It's just spam.

John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual
gimmicks.

His wife, Marsha, had long ago given up trying to get him to change. One
day John came home with another one of his unusual purchases. It was a
robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector.

It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11 year old son,
returned home from school. Tommy was over 2 hours late. "Where have you
been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home?" asked John.

"Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project,"
said Tommy. The robot walked around the table and slapped Tommy,
knocking him completely out of his chair.

"Son," said John, "this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you
really were after school."

"We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie." said Tommy.

"What did you watch?" asked Marsha.

"The Ten Commandments." answered Tommy.

The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him
off his chair. With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said,
"I am sorry I lied. We really watched a tape called Sex Queen."

"I am ashamed of you son," said John. "When I was your age, I never
lied to my parents."

The robot walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly
knocked him out of his chair.

Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and said, "Boy, did you
ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is
your son!"

The robot walked around to Marsha and knocked her out of her chair.

MEDICAL MISHAPS
(Reports by doctors in American hospitals)


A man entered the Emergency Department and yelled:
'My wife is about to give birth in the cab!'
I grabbed my equipment and rushed to the cab,
lifted the lady's dress and began to remove her underwear.
Then I noticed several other cabs waiting;
I was in the wrong one.'

(2) At the beginning of my shift I placed my stethoscope
on an elderly patient's anterior chest wall.
'Big breaths,' I commanded.
'Yes, they used to be,' she replied resignedly.

(3) While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient,
I asked:
'How long have you been bedridden?'
Looking at me quizzically she replied;
'Not for 20 years, when my husband was alive.'

(4) A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room
when a distressed young woman sporting a purple
punk rocker Mohawk hairstyle, resplendent in a variety
of eye-catching tattoos and wearing strange clothes,
entered. She was diagnosed as suffering from acute
appendicitis requiring immediate surgery.
Pre-medicated and disrobed on the operating table
the surgical team noticed her pubic hair had been dyed
green and above it was a tattoo that read:
'Keep off the grass!'
Post surgery, the surgeon attached a note to the patient's
dressing gown that said:
'Sorry, had to mow the lawn.'

PERVERSE PERFIDY

A cockney embattled by hostile credit crunch forces
decides to fight on a less formidable front: he applies
to join the French Foreign Legion:
'I don't like Arabs,' he asserts, so they sign him up
and put him on guard at Fort L'escarpment.
Suddenly the watchtower sentry shouts:
'The Arabs are coming!'
Whereupon the cockney shoots him dead.
'Why did you kill your comrade?'
they demanded to know at the court martial.
'Cos I don't like Arabs, but I really 'ate grasses.'

SHARED SHORTCOMINGS

A priest and a rabbi find themselves occupying
the same train compartment. They start chatting
and the talk soon turns to matters clerical.
The priest asks the rabbi if he ever yielded to
the temptation to eat bacon.
He shamefacedly admits that, yes, he once did.
But, he enquires, before getting his vocation,
did the priest ever have sex?
The priest 'confesses' that, yes, he once did.
'Ah,' smiles the rabbi,
'better than bacon isn't it?'

Very funny everyone.
And just going back to the story of the doctor and the cab, I know a father who took a toilet break during the delivery of his baby - only to return to the wrong delivery room and have a good look, a really good look, at the baby just being born.
It took him a few seconds before he twigged his error - with the other father and mid-wife looking at him incredulously. :)

Yes Gray, the delivery room has given birth to innumerable
humorous incidents, most notably a Fools and Horses episode.
(Thanks for you kind remarks re my Spotlight session;
it was a joyful experience, thanks to Michele.)

CROSS IN THE BAR
(a true story from which names
are withheld to protect the guilty)


My son's local was managed by an Irishman
who also let out rooms. One Wednesday
he received a phone call from a Scotsman
who wanted to book a room for the weekend
while he worked in the locality.
On the Friday, a Scotsman entered the bar and said:
'I'd like a rum, please.'
'Are you the gentleman who phoned on Wednesday?'
enquired mine host expectantly.
To which the indignant Scotsman replied:
'Do you have to book in advance
to get a drink in this pub?'

'Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings ...'
(Matthew 21:16)

Picture the blissful domestic scene if you will.
A devout little girl, in the presence of her mother,
is earnestly offering up her bedtime prayers:
'And please God, send some clothes for the poor ladies
in Daddy's computer. Amen.'

my mate, Ed)

Matrimonial Mischief

Post by keithgood838 » Mon Jun 22, 2009 8:05 pm

CLOUDING THE ISSUE

One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny,
suggested to his wife:
'Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in Slim-Fast,
it might diminish your gluteus maximus.'
His wife smiled indulgently at his feeble attempt at humour,
but decided the comment merited some reward for effort.
Next morning he took a pair of underpants from his drawer:
'What the hell is this?' he muttered to himself as a dust cloud
'materialised' when he shook them.
'April,' he shouted in the direction of the bathroom,
'why did you put talc-um powder in my briefs?'
Came her reply echoing sweetly:
'That's not talc-um powder, it's Miracle-Gro!'

Keith :wink:
