During the war, a British General visited an Australian Army Hospital. Sensing a doom and gloom atmosphere he tried to rally the men by asking "Now you men didn't come here to die did you?" To which an Aussie replied " No sir, we came here yesterdie."
What a laugh Hen, here I am after a few drinks with my brother, here all the way from Pendeen, and all these good jokes ha ha. We plan to Party party party, just had Hubby's 65th next will be the Music hall party [ you know the show I'm involved with every year] then my brother 60th just after Christmas, so Woopee and have a good Christmas all of you out there.
HI Diane. I hope the drinks with your brother went well. Sounds like you are going to be having a fair few weeks of intense par-tay-ing! Good for you. Enjoy every minute, including any hangovers.
Thanks Chris. I did wonder whether I should post anything in here or not. But I thought, "Everyone loves appalling jokes!" and decided to anyway.
Here is a joke my Kiwi Uncle used to love to tell me when he was visiting.
A Kiwi was doing the Maori Haka whilst, somewhere in space, aliens were watching this unusual dance.
"Kamate kamate ka-ora ka-ora ......" loudly sang the Kiwi.
The aliens were very intrigued, and wondered what would happen if part of the Kiwi's brain was stealthily removed! So, with the aid of very sophisticated technology, the aliens zapped a beam at the Kiwi's head, and part of his brain instantly vaporised.
The aliens sat back to see what would happen. "Ka-mate ka-mate ka-ora ka-ora......." sang the Kiwi.
The aliens were amazed, absolutely no difference in the Kiwi's behaviour.
So the aliens decided to zap a higher intensity beam at another part of the Kiwi's brain.
Again the aliens watched for results, and again the Kiwi sang "Ka-mate ka-mate ka-ora ka-ora ......"
The aliens naturally deduced that the Kiwi was an extremely intelligent life-form, for with even a half a brain no difference had been noticed in the Kiwi's behaviour.
The aliens decided to remove the complete brain, thus leaving the Kiwi devoid of all knowledge!
So with a push of a button the aliens zapped the Kiwi's head and sizzled the remaining grey matter.
Now surely the Kiwi will know nothing, be dumb, and be so stupid.
The Aliens watched the Kiwi intently, and all of a sudden the Kiwi broke into a forceful song
The Italian says, "When I've a finisheda makina da love with my girlfriend I go down and gently tickle the back of her knees, she floats a 6 inches abova da bed in ecstasy".
The Frenchman replies, "Zat is nothing, when Ah 'ave finished making ze love with ze girlfriend, Ah kiss all ze way down her body and zen Ah lick zer soles of her feet wiz mah tongue and she floats 12 inches above ze bed in pure ecstasy".
The Aussie says, "Mate, that's nothing. When I've finished shaggin my sheila, I get out of bed, walk over to the window and wipe my dick on the curtains. And MATE ..... She hits the f*cking roof !!!"
The first speaker, a lady from Cornwall stood and said, "During last year's conference, we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands. Well, after the conference, I went home and told my husband, Bob, that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself.
After the first day, I saw nothing. The second day, I saw nothing, but on the third day, I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb." (The crowd cheered).
The second speaker from Russia, stood up and said, "After last year's conference, I went home and told my husband, Ivan, that I would no longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself. The first day, I saw nothing. After the second day, I saw nothing, but on the third day, I saw that he had done not only his own washing, mine as well. (The crowd again cheered).
The third speaker, an Aboriginal lady, stood up and said, "Afta lass year's conference, I wen home and tole dat lazy husband of mines, Dingo Jack, dat I was froo pickin up his beer cans, cookin his tucker and washing his undaweah and dat he was goin to haf to do dem himself. (The crowd went wild with cheering and clapping that lasted for five long minutes).
She continued..........................."Afta da first day, I nevah see nuffing. Afta da second day I nevah see nuffing, but afta da fird day, I could see a little bit out of my leff eye."
An English politician was giving a speech in Cornwall.
"I was born an Englishman, I have been an Englishman all my life, and I will die an Englishman!" he declared. "What's wrong, man," exclaimed a voice from the crowd, "Have you no ambition?"
Not long after the Cold War began, it so happened that a socialist Welshman - John Jones by name - was in London. He happened to be sitting in a park one day when a man in a trench coat came and sat beside him.
- Voud you be interested in spying on ze English? asked the stranger in a thick Russian accent.
- "Sure I would, boyo", said John Jones cheerfully. "For we Welsh have been oppressed for years. I'm on your side!"
- Very well... Ze password vill be, "Ze geese fly high over ze frozen pond while ze sun shines." Got that?
- "Right you are", says John. '"Ze geese fly high over ze frozen pond while ze sun shines. What do I have to do now?"
- Nuzzing for ze moment... Ve vill activate you ven ve haf need of you. It may be a year, it may be 10 years, but ve vill. Vill you be ready? You vill remember ze password?
- "I will", said John eagerly, and returned to his small home village in Wales.
Although John waited eagerly, the call never came.
Ten years, twenty, thirty ... until 1999, when a command came from the Russian HQ to activate agent John Jones immediately. A Russian agent headed for the little village where John Jones lived, only to find there were 300 John Joneses listed for the area. He scratched his head and decided that he would go to the local pub and try the password until he found his man.
So, the Russian agent headed off to the local pub and ordered a pint of beer. He saw a man standing alone at one end of the counter, and thought he might as well begin. He sidled across to the solitary drinker, watching the crowd about him with cautious eyes.
- Nice evening, said the Russian.
- "Yes", said the drinker.
- Is your name Jones? asked the Russian.
- "Yes", said the drinker.
- Funny, isn't it, said the Russian agent, the geese fly high over the wintry pond while the sun shines.
The drinker tossed back his beer and said:
- "It's not me you'll be wanting. You want Jones the spy, over by the window".
A Bloke is having a quiet drink in a bar, leans over to the big guy next to
him and says: "Do you wanna hear a Kiwi joke?"
The big guy replies: "Well, mate, before you tell that joke, you should know something. I'm six feet tall, 105 kgs and I played rugby as a forward for the All Blacks. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2", weighs 115 kgs and he's an ex All Black lock. Next to him is a bloke who's 6'5", weighs 120kgs and he's a current All Black second rower.
Now, do you still want to tell that Kiwi joke?"
The first bloke says: "Nah, not if I'm going to have to explain it three
times."
