A new faddy diet has just been announced. It’s the ‘Single Chicken’ diet. Apparently you will lose 28lb if you eat nothing but one whole cooked chicken over a one month period. You quarter the chicken and freeze what you can’t eat immediately. There is enough nutrition in one chicken to keep you alive over that time, but nothing else and so weight loss is dramatic.
A spokesman for the company promoting the revolutionary new diet said, “It’s fantastic. You really can kill two stones with one bird!”

"Let's see who has the largest weenie," he says.
"Okay." They all agree.
"Oh, we worked on a science
project, had a math test and read out loud from a new book . . . and during

Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a restaurant having dinner. Woods turns to Wonder and says, "How's the singing career going?"
Stevie Wonder replies, "Not too bad how's the golf?"
Woods replies, "Not too bad, I've had some problems with my swing, but I think I've got that going right now."
Stevie says, "I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right."
Tiger says, "You play golf?"
Wonder says, "Oh, yes, I've been playing for years."
Woods says, "But you're blind! How can you play golf if you can't see?"
Wonder replies, "I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball toward him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again I play the ball toward his voice"
"But how do you putt?" asks Woods.
Well," says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground, and I just play the ball toward his voice."
Woods asks, "What's your handicap?"
Stevie says, "Well, I'm a scratch golfer."
Woods, incredulous, says to Stevie, "We've got to play a round sometime."
Wonder replies, "Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole."
Woods thinks about it and says, "OK, I'm for that, when would you like to play?"
Stevie says, "Pick a night."

Adam was hanging around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely.
So, God asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to.
God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. He said, "This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will wash it for you.
She will always agree with
every decision you make and she will not nag you, and will always be the
first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will praise
you! She will bear your children. . . . . . and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them.
She will NEVER have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it."
Adam asked God, "What will
a woman like this cost?" God replied, "An arm and a leg."
Adam winced because he knew God didn’t play games.
On seeing this, God said, “On the other hand there’s the economy model. For just one measly rib. . . . . . . . “

Best of British. . . . . |

One of the national daily papers is asking for comments about "what it means to be British".
Here is a comment from a chap in Switzerland who lived in Britain for 12 years. . . . .
“Being British is about driving your German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, and then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. “
And the most British thing of all? . . . . . . . . . Suspicion of anything foreign!!!

Two women meet in the afterlife 1st Woman: Hi! My name is Wanda.
2nd Woman: Hi! I'm Sylvia. How did you die?
1st Woman: I froze to death.
2nd Woman: How horrible!
1st Woman: It wasn't so bad. After a while I quit shaking from the cold and began to get warm and sleepy and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?
2nd Woman: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.
1st Woman: So what happened?
2nd Woman: I was so sure that there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched and then down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere and finally became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.
1st Woman: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer - we might still be both alive.

An English ventriloquist visiting Wales walks into a small village and sees a local sitting on his porch patting his dog. He decides to have some fun, and so he says to the Welshman "May I talk to your dog?"
The villager says, "The dog doesn't talk, you stupid person"
The dog replies, "Doin' alright, thank you"
The villager looks shocked!
The ventriloquist asks, pointing at the villager, "Is this chap your owner?"
The dog replies, "Yep"
The ventriloquist asks again, "How does he treat you?"
The dog replies, "Really well. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the lake once a week to play."
The villager looks stunned
The ventriloquist says, "Mind if I talk to your horse?"
The villager, in shock, replies, "Uh, the horse doesn't talk either. . . . . . I think"
The ventriloquist calls, "Hey horse, how's it going?"
The horse replies, "Cool, man."
The villager is totally dumbfounded.
The ventriloquist asks "Is this your owner?", pointing to the villager.
The horse replies, "Yep"
The ventriloquist asks again, "How does he treat you?"
The horse responds, "Pretty good, actually! Thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the elements."
The villager is now in a state of total amazement
The ventriloquist asks, "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
The villager, in a panic, replies, "That sheep's a bloody liar!"

A bloke's wife goes missing on a skin diving expedition off the Barrier Reef. He spends a terrible night wondering what could have happened. Next morning there's a knock at the door and he is confronted by a couple of pretty miserable policemen, the old Sarge and a younger Constable.
The Sarge says, "Mate, we have some news for you: unfortunately some really bad news; but some good news; and some really good news."
"Well," says the bloke, "You'd better let me have it, both barrels. What's the bad news?"
The Sarge says, "I'm really sorry, pal, but your wife is dead. Young Bill here found her lying at about five fathoms in a little cleft in the reef. He got a line around her and we pulled her up, but she was dead."
The bloke is naturally pretty distressed to hear this and has a bit of a turn. After a few minutes he pulls himself together and asks what the good news is.
The sarge says, "Well, when we got your wife up, there were quite a few really good sized crays and a swag of legal blue swimmers (crabs) in and around her wetsuit, so we've brought you your share."
And he hands the bloke a sugar bag with a couple of nice crays and four or five crabs in it.
"Geez, thanks," the bloke says, "They're beaut, I guess it's an ill wind and all that. Now what's the really good news?"
"Well," the Sarge continues, "me and young Bill here go off duty at around 11 o'clock and we reckon we'll shoot over there and pull her up again."

A Chinese couple gets married. The bride is a virgin, and truth be told, he is not that experienced either.
On the wedding night, she cowers naked under the bed covers as her husband undresses.
He climbs in next to her and tries to be reassuring, "My daring," he says, "I know dis you fus time and you berry frighten. I plomise you, plomise you, I give you anyting you wan, I do anyting jus anyting you wan. You just say.
A thoughtful silence follows and he waits patiently (and eagerly) for her request.
She
recalls something she’s heard some of her friends discussing and, desperate
to please her new husband and wanting to sound worldly, she eventually
replies, shyly and unsure, "I wan some . . . . . . . . . . . 69."
