A soldier is issued with a new weapon. The instructor tells him that it's the real deal, state of the art handgun.
"All you do, is point it at the enemy, fire and at the same time say "bangety- bang."
So the soldier tries it out, points it out at the first enemy soldier he sees and says "bangety-bang." Sure enough the soldier falls down. So he happily proceeds on his way, 'killing' the enemy with his "bangety bang" until he eventually meets one who doesn't fall down. In fact this soldier just keeps on going, knocks him off his feet, walks all over him and is about to carry on.
So the soldier runs after him and says, "you're supposed to lie down when I go bangety-bang."
And the other soldier replies "tankety-tank." _________________ Minx

Very amusing
I don't suppose it was the same soldier who was marching through the desert with his squad mate when they became detatched from their platoon and became lost
After 3 days of walking round in circles and being desperate for food and water the soldier and his mate began to walk towards what looked like an oasis and as they got nearer the soldier told his mate that he thought he could see a tree up ahead with lots of streaks of bacon growing on it
His mate told him not to be silly but undeterred the soldier said he was going to go ahead to investigate as he was so hungry
When his mate finally caught up with him he found the soldier lying under the tree slowly dying and asked the soldier what had happened and why he thought he was ever going to find a bacon tree in the middle of the desert
With his dying breath the soldier muttered to his mate ' Sorry I got it wrong, the bacon tree was simply an illusion, it was actually an 'ambush' _________________ Are you ready for a Ruddles? |

Not meant as a joke but this made me laugh when I saw it this morning..
"God Wants You to Buy Me a Private Jet"
Creflo Dollar has never been shy about asking for money from his devoted flock.
This time, though, the Atlanta-based preacher with a worldwide ministry is reaching for the sky.
Here is his appeal on the World Changers Church, International website where he blatantly asks for donations for a top of line jumbo jet for his private use:
“We are asking members, partners, and supporters of this ministry to assist in the undertaking of an initiative called Project G650. The mission of Project G650 is to acquire a Gulfstream G650 airplane so that Pastors Creflo and Taffi and World Changers Church International can continue to blanket the globe with the Gospel of grace. We are believing for 200,000 people to give contributions of 300 US dollars or more to turn this dream into a reality—and allow us to retire the aircraft that served us well for many years.”
http://latest.com/2015/03/atlanta-pastor-to-his-flock-god-wants-you-to-buy-me-a-private-jet/
I wonder if he will get his wish? |

Chic Murray looks for digs very late at night. He knocks on the door of a boarding house and eventually an upstairs window opens:
Landlady: What do you want?
Chic: I want to stay here.
Landlady: Well stay there then.
Shuts window and goes back to bed. |

A thoughtful Scottish husband was putting his coat and hat on to make his way down to the local pub.
He turned to his wee wife before leaving and said, "Maggie - put your hat and coat on, lassie."
She replied, "Awe, Jock that's nice of ye - are you taking me tae the pub with ye?
"Nay," Jock replied ... "I'm turning the heat off while I'm oot." _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

Told by Ken Bruce on the latest Friday Night Is Music Night about songs and singers who helped us to get through WW2:
"Ken Dodd knew when the Falklands War was about to start because when he walked past Vera Lynn's house he heard her gargling."

Prince Philip has today (yesterday)relinquished his public duties due to his long service and old age.
However 30 minutes later he was deemed fit to work in an ATOS work capability assessment.
“He’s able to walk, talk and use his hands, that’s a hell of a lot more than most of the scrounging malingerers we approve.” Said a spokesman for the Department of Work and Pensions.
The Duke of Edinburgh is expected to start an upaid work placement as a check out assistant in Greggs, after he steps down from his current role in

It's almost getting to that stage isn't it Becky.
Don't know about you but I totally agree with Maureen (83) from Barnsley (not that I'm anywhere near her age!). I read yesterday that they say staying at home (ie couples) does not stop the virus spreading, only stopping large groups ie schools and universities and clubs etc shut will stop it. I suppose that is why it worked earlier in the year.

We've all got the information,Helen, (confusing as it is sometimes) so I think we should all do what suits us individually as long as it's within the rules. |
