Unfortunately it was not me who invented this - I just found this on a site.
I wouldn't have the wits for such an "introspection"

I’ve seen some of it before, but not quite as complete and enjoyable.

another blonde joke - but a good one

A ventriloquist is touring the clubs and stops to entertain in a small town. He's going through his usual run of off-colour and 'dumb blonde' jokes, when a well-dressed blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and shouts:
"I've heard just about enough of your stupid blonde jokes, you jerk!
What makes you think you can stereotype women that way?
What connection can a person's hair colour possibly have with their fundamental worth as a human being?"

It's morons like you that prevent women like myself from being respected at work and in our communities and from reaching our full potential, because you and your Neanderthal brethren continue to perpetuate negative images against not only blondes, but women in general, for the sake of cheap laughs."
You are a pathetic, misogynistic relic of the past, and what you do is not only contrary to discrimination laws in every civilized country, it is deeply offensive to people with modern sensibilities and basic respect for their fellow citizens.
You should hang your head in shame, you pusillanimous little maggot."

Flustered, the ventriloquist begins to apologize, when the blonde yells:
"You stay out of this mister! I'm talking to that little bastard on your knee."

David Beckham goes into Millets and has a look around. The Shop assistant goes up to him and says 'can I help you David?'. David points to a shelf and says 'what's this?'. The shop assistant turns around to him and says 'it's a thermos flask, it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold'. 'WOW' says David, 'I'll take one!'

Next week at Football training, Ashley Cole goes up to David and says 'wow David, what have you got there?' and David turns round to him and says, 'its a thermos Ashley, it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold'. 'Amazing', says Ashley, 'what you got in it?'.

David turns round and says, 'Two cups of Coffee and a Choc Ice'.

Little Britain is hilarious, dude.

My fave joke of the moment:

A priest, a duck, and a rabbi walk into a bar. The rabbi looks at the other two and says, "Vat is dis, a joke?"

What do you call an insomniac, agnostic, dyslexic?


Someone who lies awake at night wondering if there really is a dog.

Memorable lines from "Pirates of Silicon Valley":

Mike Markkula: Steve Wozniak's employee number one, you're number two.
Steve Jobs: Wait a minute. I'm employee number one. Woz?
Steve Wozniak: Doesn't matter to me.
Steve Jobs: I'm employee number one around here.
Mike Markkula: I'm not saying anything. I wasn't implying anything.
Steve Jobs: All right, then I'll be zero. Woz you can be number one. I'll be zero. Okay?

"Pirates of Silicon Valley" II:

Steve Jobs: "I don't want you to think of this as just a film - some process of converting electrons and magnetic impulses into shapes and figures and sounds - no. Listen to me. We're here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why even be here? We're creating a completely new consciousness, like an artist or a poet. We're rewriting the history of human thought with what we're doing. That's how you have to think of this."

Ridley Scott: "Well, Steven, right now I'm a touch more worried about getting light on the actress, do you know what I mean?"

An Scotsman, Irishman, Welshman and Englishman are being given their final request by the deathsquad...

When asked what his final request is, the Scotsman replies... 'I want to hear 21 pipers play Bonny Prince Charlie on the bag pipes'

When asked what his final request is, the Welshman replies... 'I want to hear the Welsh national anthem'

When asked what his final request is, the Irishman replies... 'I want to 50 Irish dancers do a traditional Irish dance'

When asked what his final request is, the Englishman replies... 'please... kill me first'

Bubba went to a psychiatrist

I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's
somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.

Just put yourself in my hands for one year, said the shrink.
Come talk to me three times a week, and we should be able
to get rid of those fears.

How much do you charge?

Eighty dollars per visit, replied the doctor.
I'll sleep on it, said Bubba.

Six months later the doctor met Bubba on the street. Why
didn't you ever come to see me about those fears you were
having? asked the psychiatrist.

Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year
is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!

Is that so! And how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?

He told me to cut the legs off the bed! -
Ain't nobody under there now !!!

A question of terminology

.
At an international meeting, two surgeons were having an argument. The Indian surgeon was saying, "No no no, I am telling you it is Woomba!"

The African surgeon is saying, "No Man, it is Whoooooommmmmm!"

They go on like this for about 10 minutes. Up comes the English surgeon, and interrupts them. "Excuse me chaps, but I do believe that the word you are trying to say is "Womb."

After he has gone away, the African turns to the Indian and says, "I bet he's never even seen a hippopotamus let alone heard one fart under water!"

Primitive self-expression

.
In Africa some of the native tribes have a custom of beating the ground with clubs and uttering spine chilling cries. Anthropologists call this a form of primitive self-expression... In America they call it "golf".
