Crimson Rambler

 

Splice the Main Brace.

We sat watching tele waiting for the 2005 Oxford v Cambridge boat race to start.
I asked her what time the race was run.
"They're not running" she sneered.
"What are they doing then?" I asked.
"They're sailing!"

Top this.

A man I know spent 20 minutes boasting to me how he found a jar of beetroot in the supermarket cheaper than the one his wife had found.
Is patience really a virtue or an affliction?

Things to do in the elevator!! - Got to be barmy to do this mind you!!

E-mail from Steve Hall .

1. When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you. 2.Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more. 3.Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones. 4.Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor your on. 5.Hold the doors open and say your waiting for a friend. After a while, let the doors close, and say, "Hi Greg. How's your day been?" 6.Drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up, then scream, "That's Mine!" 7.Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator. 8.Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask if they have an appointment. 9.Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play. 10.Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on, ask them if they can hear ticking. 11.Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers. 12.Ask, "Did you feel that?" 13.Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally. 14.When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay, don't panic, they open again!" 15.Swat at flies that don't exist. 16.Tell people that you can see their aura. 17.Call out, "Group Hug!" and then enforce it. 18.Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Shut up, all of you just shut up!" 19.Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?" 20.Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off. 21.Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "Your One of THEM!" and back away slowly. 22.Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers. 23.Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope. 24.Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button. 25.Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce, "I have new socks on". 26.Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is MY personal space!"

Don't be fly.

Someone said to me ' I'd love to be a fly on her bedroom wall as she's getting undressed'
I said ' I wouldn't. I'd rather just be myself!'

 

 

Incognito

Singer/songwriter/actor/talkshow guest/eco-warrior and multi millionaire Sting and myself both say we never wanted to be famous. Hey Sting, you really messed up man!

Anon.

Not to be.

There are only eight notes in a diatonic scale and yet listen to the wonderful things that people have done with them.
There are only twenty six letters in the English alphabet and yet look what Shakespeare has done with them. Millions of people have been put off reading forever!

Crooklock supplement.

As an extra precaution to fixing a crooklock to the steering wheel of my car, I always leave the radio and interior light on to make thieves think there's someone in it.
I'm sure this at least doubles the security against theft.

Analyse this.

Why do 20yr olds drive at 80 and 80yr olds drive at 20?

A Shark's Tale.

It cost me £67.50 to watch a drive in movie. £5 entrance fee and £62.50 for the taxi.

Tolerance

A man was talking to me at the bar. I couldn't understand anything he was saying other than, "So I says to him" and "So he says to me" He had red hair, a red face and his red bulging eyes kept sweeping around the room. I thought he was drunk so I just kept nodding and smiling. I had to move to the other end of the bar after 5 minutes as he kept flicking my face and stamping on my foot. Someone told me he was an ex-sergeant-major from the marines. And he was Welsh.

Auto-suggestion vs. reverse psychology

I told myself not to but I just wouldn't listen.

Oneupmanship

I mentioned the story of Jesus walking on water.
A mate of mine reckons he knows a man who can do it on his hands!

Good dress, bad line.

I said to her" I've bought this outfit for a ridiculous figure, yours!"
I get a little lonely somtimes.

Spot the difference

I asked her.
"Can you telephone from a submarine?"
"Don't be silly," she said." Of course I can!"

 

 Football FINALLY makes sense........

A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.  

 Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "Especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents." 

 Dumbfounded, her date asked,

 "What do you mean?" 

 "Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!'

I'm like...Helloooooo?  It's only 25 cents!!!

 

 

Daddy's little helper

I asked my 15yr old son if he would nip to the corner shop for me. He asked me if I would take him in the car.

Minimum wage

I once had a job circumcising elephants.
The wages were small but the tips were massive!'

Uh?

How would you feel if someone you have loved and lived with for almost thirty years said...?
"Our house dates back to when it was originally built!"
2b cont...

Mmm...interesting.

Every pub has a pub bore. Next time you're in your local,
take a good look around you. If you don't see one...better get your act together!

Ring,ring...

When Alexander G. Bell invented the telephone he couldn't get it to work until the tea lady suggested," Sir, I think you should make another one!

Equal rights

She won't use e-mail because it's sexist. She wants it renamed she-mail

Get your tackle out!

A couple go on holiday to a fishing resort at Lakes Entrance. The husband likes to fish at sunrise. The wife likes to read. One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lakes area, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book. Along comes a fishing inspector in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning ma'am. What are you doing?" "Reading a book," she replies (thinking "isn't that obvious!"). "You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her. "I'm sorry officer but I'm not fishing, I'm reading". "Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and make a report." "If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault" says the woman. "But I haven't touched you" says the man. That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment." "Have a nice day ma'am" and he left. MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.
