Student : The moon!
Teacher : How do you say that?
Student : 'cos you can see the moon, you can't see Tokyo from here smile

Re: Jokes galore......

no civil wars are any wars that are fought within a country and they continue to happen throughout history. No its not just guns and shooting, it could be throwing rocks, home-made bombs, etc.

Re: Jokes galore......

NABs? Aren’t those only awarded in Scotland?

Anyway …

The musician who went Chop… – I mean shopping – was the wife of an army officer ranking between captain and colonel. When she returned home, she realized that she had forgotten her keys and was locked out. The doorbell was not working, the children were all in the back garden, and none of them could hear her furious knocking and shouting at the front door. Just then she saw her husband coming home from the local pub. She gave a sigh of relief. But in his state of tipsiness, he crossed the road carelessly and was flattened by a bus. The musician ran across to her husband’s body, searched in his pockets, and found what she wanted. THE KEY OF A FLAT MAJOR! lol

Re: Jokes galore......

A schoolboy from a poor family decided to save money on bus fares, so one day he walked home from school instead of taking a bus. When his dad came home from work, he told his dad: “Daddy, I saved us £1 today! I didn’t take the bus home, I ran behind it instead!”

To the boy’s surprise, his father was unimpressed. “Stupid boy! If you had run behind a taxi instead, you would have saved £5!”

Re: Jokes galore......

A blonde notices a group of boys running around kicking a ball and one boy standing alone by himself.

She goes up to him and says, “Why aren’t you playing with your friends?”

“I am,” replies the boy.

“But you are standing here all by yourself,” says the blonde.

The boy replies, a bit angrily, “That’s because I’m the goalkeeper!”

Re: Jokes galore......

One day, a diver was enjoying the aquatic world 20 feet below sea level. He noticed a guy at the same depth, but with no scuba gear whatsoever. The diver went below another 20 feet, and the guy joined him a few minutes later. The diver went below 25 feet, and minutes later, the same guy joined him.

This confused the diver, so he took out a waterproof chalkboard set, and wrote, "How the heck are you able to stay under this deep without equipment?"

The guy took the board and chalk, erased what the diver had written, and wrote, "I'm drowning, you moron!"

A man was wandering in the woods, pondering all the mysteries of life and his own personal problems. The man couldn't find the answers, so he sought help from God.

"God? You there, God?" he asked

"Yes. What is it, my son?" God answered.

"Mind if I ask a few questions?" the man asked.

"Go ahead, my son, anything."

"God, what is a million years to you?"

God answered, "A million years to me is only a second."

The man asked, "God, what is a million dollars worth to you?"

God replied, "A million dollars to me is worth only a penny."

The man lifted his eyebrows and asked his final question. "God, can I have a penny?"

God answered, "Sure, give me a second."

There was a guy in a bar, just looking at his drink. He stayed like that for half an hour. Then, this big trouble-making truck driver stepped up next to him, took the drink from the guy, and drank it all down.

The poor man started crying. The truck driver said, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't see a man crying."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I was late getting to my office. My boss was outrageous, and fired me. When I left the building to go to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police say they can do nothing. I got a cab to return home, and when I left it, I remembered I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drove away. I left home and came to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

Re: Jokes galore......

I can't believe so few of you appreciate the importance of history! How can you claim to be good citizens without reflecting on the way the institutions came about? Sure, it's important to know where countries are, but knowing the history of the peoples' cultures is far more important...

One day, a pastor was giving a sermon on the vices of alcohol and the importance3 of temperance. He said, "If I could have all the whiskey in the world, I would take it and throw it in the river!" A woman stood up and announced, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I would throw it in the river, too!" A man stood up and replied, "And if I could have all the beer in the world, I would throw it all in the river, as well!"

The chorus leader then stood up, and with a small grin, announced: "And for our closing, we will sing hymn #267, 'Let us gather at the river'"

An elderly widow and widower were dating for about five years. The man finally decided to ask her to marry. She immediately said "yes". The next morning when he awoke, he couldn't remember what her answer was! "Was she happy? I think so, wait, no, she looked at me funny..." After about an hour of trying to remember to no avail he got on the telephone and gave her a call. Embarrassed, he admitted that he didn't remember her answer to the marriage proposal. "Oh", she said, "I'm so glad you called. I remembered saying 'yes' to someone, but I couldn't remember who it was."

A couple drove down a country road, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument, and neither would concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules and pigs, the wife sarcastically asked, "Relatives of yours?" "Yep," the husband replied. "In-laws."
