No you're not - remember a joke is meant to be a play on words, or a witticism, or a comic juxtapostition of desperate ideas to provoke a spontaneous explosion of laughter ;) Doesn't work when you don't see one half of the image :D [MBH gies LAT a hug]

Most of the Christmas decorations are up at my house. Some are still to be put in place. This includes two bell decorations, which are hung over the doors to the lounge and dining room.

Yesterday, my mother asked "Where are you putting the ding-dongs?"
Quick as a flash, I replied....

Nice one :D Sometimes the timing is just perfect ;)


Not a joke, but you've got to love the English language for managing to mean totally opposite things with the same words. Filling in an extra session behind the bar last Friday, I was an unexpected face joining the regular barmaid 'L'.

My boss comes up to the bar (he has a reputation for being dour and problematic) - he shakes his head and says, "Sorry 'L', I couldn't get anyone better to help you".

I looked him straight in the eye and with a smile I replied, "No! You couldn't" :lol:

Excellent. That reminds me of this one:

I couldn't put this in the puzzles area (with a straight face), so I'm putting it here. A crossword I was pointed towards over the weekend :D

:lol: Yes, that is very good.

Do you know, about a month ago I bought some Sainsbury's Taste the Difference lean beef steak mince. And both of us said at the time "yuk, this doesn't even taste like beef". I'm wondering now, if it could have been horse!! It hasn't happened since... :?

I always try to buy British Beef, but very often there is only Irish at the supermarket. It does annoy me that you can't buy British and all these dodgy beef cases seem to originate in Ireland / France / further afield. We had some lovely roast beef today for lunch.

Someone sent me this.....

· A man has been hospitalised after eating a Tesco burger. Initially it gave him the trots, but now he is in a stable condition.
· Tesco burgers maybe low in fat but they are high in Shergar.
· If you thought Tesco were in the shit about horse meat in their burgers, just wait till you try their quarter Pandas.
· A cow walks into a bar, the barman asks “why the long face”, the cow says “all these illegal ingredients coming over here and taking our jobs!”.
· Waitress in Tesco asked if I wanted anything on my burger – so I had a fiver each way!
· Forget about the Tesco horse meat scandal, apparently they have found camel toe in some Primark leggings!
· I've tried Sainsbury's and Tesco burgers and I have to say Tesco wins by a nose.
· I think I had Tesco Horse-burger last night by mistake. Never again. Had terrible nightMARES!
· It has now been reported that there are traces of Zebras been found in Tesco barcodes.
· I bet Tesco hate being saddled with this story. Their PR agency must be bridling too. They'll just have to get the bit between their teeth.
· Whatever next? My LIDL pony?
· The police are doing a door to door enquiries about these horse burgers. They will soon have covered the whole NEIGH-bourhood.
· I expect this only relates to those mini-burgers you have as snacks. You know, the HORSE d'oeuvres.
· After having Tesco burgers I used to say that I felt a little horse, now I understand why.
· So hungry I could eat a horse... Guess I'll go to TESCO!
· Went to the freezer to check my Tesco burgers, and....THEY'RE OFF!
