Could 'possibly' bring a smile to someone's face ;-)

But I have my doubts with the po faced contributors to this newsgroup.

(Please come back to me for an explanation on any you do not understand)

....On the other side of the pond, fortunately ;-)

They walk among us...

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his
old, still working fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign
on it saying:
"Free to good home. You want it, you take it".

For three days the fridge sat there without even one person
looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too
un-trusting of this deal.
It looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read:
"Fridge for sale $50". The next day someone stole it.

They Walk Among Us!

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate
agent which direction was north because, he explained, he
didn't want the sun waking him up every morning.
She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?"
When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and
has for sometime, she shook her head and said,
"Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff."

They Walk Among Us!

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I
got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was
open.
I told him, "The number you dialled is open 24 hours a day, 7
days a week."
He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?"
Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific" . .

They Walk Among Us

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we
overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn
she got on her weekend drive to the shore.
She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get
sunburned because the car was moving" .

They Walk Among Us

My sister has a life saving tool in her car it's designed to
cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped.
She keeps it in the trunk . .

They Walk Among Us!

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring
attached to an earring by a chain.
My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she
turned her head?"
I explained that a person's nose and ear remain the same
distance apart no matter which way the head is turned . .

They Walk Among Us!

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I
went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that
my bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained
professional and I was in good hands.
"Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet? "

They Walk Among Us!

While working at a Pizza Parlour I observed a man ordering a
small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked
him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6.
He thought about it for some time before responding.
"Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6
pieces.

(No translation needed; much American is strikingly similar to English.)

Does the U.S. comedy channel get across the pond? There's a comic on the
"Redneck Comedy Tour" who claims really stupid people should be given a
sign warning others of their stupidity.

An example:

I was going to a show at a little town, flying one of those puddle jumper
airplanes. When we landed, we actually hit a deer on the runway!
Evacuated the plane, wrecked one of the engines, taken to the terminal in a
bus. I called my wife to tell her what happened, and she said, "My God!
Were you on the ground?" I said, "No, Santa was making one last run..."


Here's your sign...

'Some' would say they shouldn't be allowed to vote or breed, just as Hitler
said.

snip same old, same old

Others would say why don't you give it a rest, eh?

Good grief, it's like a stuck gramophone record on Groundhog Day, with
simultaneous repeats on BBC2, 3 and 4!
