This is for the gals but you guys might get a kick out of it.

One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.

Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home fromwork. Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband and toldhim that I would be late because I had to walk home. On my
way, I passed by a small diner and the odor of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas.

Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly:
'Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight.'

He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I tooka seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call.

The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressurewas becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room Iseized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously.

Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stinkwas worse than cooked cabbage.

Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes.

The pleasure was indescribable. When eventually the telephone farewellssignalled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few moretimes with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself.

My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not.

At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seatedaround the table chorused: 'Happy Birthday!'

I fainted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An Oldie, but a goodie................

"THE MIRACLE OF TOILET PAPER"

Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror complaining to my husband that my breasts are too small.

Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, He Un-characteristically comes up with a suggestion.

"If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between them for a few seconds".

Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts.

"How long will this take?" I asked.

They will grow larger over a period of years," my husband replies.

I stopped. "Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the Years?"

Without missing a beat he says, "Worked for your arse, didn't it?"

He's still alive, and with a great deal of therapy, He may even walk again, although he will probably continue to take his meals through a straw.

Stupid, stupid man.

Regards to All.

Only an Aussie could pull this one off!
From the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Recently a police patrol car parked outside a local neighbourhood tavern. Later in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. Infact he fell over almost immediately.

The man wrestled himself up and stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing.

After what seemed an eternity and after trying his keys in five other vehicles, the man managed to find his own car, which he unlocked and fell into. He was in there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally, he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine dry night), flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn several times and then switched on the lights.

He moved the vehicle forward a few feet, reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left.

At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, pulled the man over and carried out a
breathalyser test.

To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man's intoxication.

The police officer said, "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the Police station, this breathalyser equipment must be broken."

"I doubt that", said the man, "Tonight's my turn to be the designated decoy".

JayD · 26th February 2008, 11:05 AM

LOL...Clemy,Pure Aussie monkey cunning.......You got to watch those cunning Roo's from downunder!

Truth be known they would have nailed him before he moved the car!..You get caught with your key's on you and your over the limit and in your car even with the engine off and parked your gone!

clementine · 26th February 2008, 01:16 PM

Is that right JayD? I thought that you were OK in a private carpark so they had to wait till you hit the highway.

They must have tightened up a lot since I got done.

How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?

1 clueless individual to start the thread.
14 to talk of similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb can be changed differently.
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.
1 to move it to the Lighting thread.
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals thread.
7 to point out spelling and grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.
5 to contradict the spell and grammar checkers.
3 to correct the spelling and grammar contradictors.
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid.
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp".
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct.
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum.
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum.
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty.
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs.
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's.
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too!".
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.
4 to say "didn't we go discuss this already on a previous thread?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before touching them or posting questions about them".

Finally, a week later,

1 thread starter changes the light bulb and posts that the light bulb has been successfully changed and thanks everybody for their help.

Oh, and not forgetting,

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months later and start it off all over again.
