Two couples were playing poker one evening. John accidently dropped
some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table to pick
them up, he noticed Bill's wife Sue wasn't wearing any underwear
under her dress! Shocked by this, John upon trying to sit back up
again, hit his head on the table and emerged red-faced.
Later, John went to the kitchen to get some refreshments. Bill's
wife followed and asked, "Did you see anything that you liked under
there?" Surprised by her boldness, John courageously admitted that,
well indeed he did. She said, "Well, you can have it but it will
cost you $500."
After taking a minute or two to assess the financial and moral
costs of this offer, John confirms that he is interested. She tells
him that since her husband Bill works Friday afternoons and John doesn't,
John should be at her house around 2 p.m. Friday afternoon.
When Friday rolled around, John showed up at Bill's house at 2 p.m.
sharp and after paying Sue the agreed sum of $500 they went to the
bedroom and closed their transaction, as agreed. John quickly
dressed and left.
As usual, Bill came home from work at 6 p.m. and upon entering the
house, asked his wife abruptly. "Did John come by the house this
afternoon?" With a lump in her throat Sue answered "Why yes, he did
stop by for a few minutes this afternoon." Her heart nearly skipped
a beat when her husband curtly asked, "And did he give you $500?" In
terror she assumed that somehow he had found out and after mustering
her best p oker face, replied, "Well, yes, in fact he did give me $500."
Bill, with a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by
saying, "Good, I was hoping he did. He came by the office this
morning and borrowed $500 from me. He promised me he'd stop by our
house this afternoon on his way home and pay me back."
Now THAT, my friends, is a poker player;)

SCHOOL ANSWERING MACHINE (This is hilarious - no wonder some people were offended!)
This is the message that the Pacific Palisades High School ( California )
staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine. This is the actual answering machine message for the school. This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework. The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children's failing grades changed to passing grades - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough schoolwork to pass their classes.
The outgoing message:
"Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please listen to all the options before making a selection:
* To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1
* To make excuses for why your child did not do his work- Press 2
* To complain about what we do - Press 3
* To swear at staff members - Press 4
* To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your
newsletter and several flyer's mailed to you - Press 5
* If you want us to raise your child - Press 6
* If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone -Press 7
* To request another teacher, for the third time this year -Press 8
* To complain about bus transportation - Press 9
* To complain about school lunches - Press 0
* If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable
and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort:
Hang up and have a nice day!
*If you want this in Spanish, you must be in the wrong country. :wah:

Like Kaz says Betty Boop, volunteering for what,you mentioned police check so will it be as a special constable ??, we certainly could do with a few in the rural areas.
Never mind Helen best to find out now what that chap was like before you became too attached and I quite agree it id his loss and there are plenty more fish in the sea.:-3
Hope Carol and Gill are o.k but maybe they are sunbathing somewhere and who could blame them.
I've trained to be a Homestart Volunteer, but you have to have a police check nowadays before most voluntary work as you're generally working with vulnerable people, Homestart only visit families with children under the age of five so I have to be checked that I have no convictions that would deem me unsuitable to be left with young children.
Glad you enjoyed Truro, nice shops up there!

Hi all,
Sorry not been on for a while - stuff you know. Sorry Your Majesty Carol, but it heartens me to realise I was missed:wah:
Helen, Kaz, Joan and all you other lovely guys I feel the urge, (and you gotta sort the urge when you get it eh !) to tell you a little bit more about our little pooch Rex (pictured above)
The first day we had him at home, after adopting him, he seemed to settle reasonably well. We showed him all round the house and showed him his bed and his food bowl and water bowl, and just left him to investigate things for himself and get used to his surroundings. Fine. Then we heard him coming down the stairs from the bedrooms direction. He walked very proudly into the sitting room where we all were, with something in his mouth and a look of satisfied achievement all over his face. A clean pair of socks (rolled as you do to keep them together). After several minutes of trying to coax him into letting us remove these socks from his mouth and failing miserably, we decided to leave the matter and take no notice, and wait till he'd put them down so that we could retrieve them and hide them. The next morning he was still in possession of one pair of now soggy socks, and they were not 'rescued' till the afternoon. In the meantime I was despatched to find a child-gate for the stairs ! As luck would have it I found the very thing leaning up against the front of our local charity shop, and so for £5 we were able to keep temptation out of reach of Rex. We still have to be careful with clothing, particularly socks, and I have to be vigilant on wash-day - he just loves to 'fish out' any small items that may be within his reach. But at least these days if he does 'nick' a nicker or a sock he will allow us to retrieve them straight away with no fuss ! And there's more...........but another time.
Do have a good night's sleep and a very good day tomorrow. Love and kisses Gill:yh_hugs

When I was quite young, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with fascination when my mother talked to it.
Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person. Her name was "Information Please" and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anyone's number and the correct time.
My personal experience with the genie-in-a-bottle came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. Amusing myself at the tool bench in the basement, I whacked my finger with a hammer, the pain was terrible, but there seemed no point in crying because there was no one home to
give sympathy.
I walked around the house sucking my throbbing finger, finally arriving at the stairway. The telephone! Quickly, I ran for the footstool in the parlor and dragged it to the landing. Climbing up, I unhooked the receiver in the parlor and held it to my ear. "Information, please" I said into the mouthpiece just above my head.
A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear.
"Information."
"I hurt my finger..." I wailed into the phone, the tears came readily enough now that I had an
audience.
"Isn't your mother home?" came the question.
"Nobody's home but me," I blubbered.
"Are you bleeding?" the voice asked.
"No," I replied. "I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts."
"Can you open the icebox?" she asked.
I said I could.
"Then chip off a little bit of ice and hold it to your finger," said the voice.
After that, I called "Information Please" for everything. I asked her for help with my geography, and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me my pet chipmunk that I had caught in the park just the day before, would eat fruit and nuts.
Then, there was the time Petey, our pet canary, died. I called, Information Please," and told her the sad story. She listened, and then said things grown-ups say to soothe a child. But I was not consoled. I
asked her, "Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers on the bottom of a cage?"
She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, "Wayne always remember that there are other worlds to sing in."
Somehow I felt better.
Another day I was on the telephone, "Information Please."
"Information," said in the now familiar voice. "How do I spell fix?" I asked.
All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. When I was nine years old, we moved across the country to Boston. I missed my friend very much. "Information Please" belonged in that old wooden box back home and I somehow never thought of trying the shiny new phone that sat on the table in the
hall. As I grew ! into my teens, the memories of those childhood conversations never really left me.
Often, in moments of doubt and perplexity I would recall the serene sense of security I had then. I appreciated now how patient, understanding, and kind she was to have spent her time on a little boy.
A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle. I had about a half-hour or so between planes. I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown operator and said, "Information
Please."
Miraculously, I heard the small, clear voice I knew so well.
"Information."
I hadn't planned this, but I heard myself saying, "Could you please tell me how to spell fix?"
There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, "I guess your finger must have healed by now."
I laughed, "So it's really you," I said. "I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time?"
I wonder," she said, "if you know how much your call meant to me. I never had any children and I used to look forward to your calls."
I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my
sister.
"Please do", she said. "Just ask for Sally."
Three months later I was back in Seattle. A different voice answered,
"Information." I asked for Sally.
"Are you a friend?" she said.
"Yes, a very old friend," I answered.
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this," she said. "Sally had been working part-time the last few years because she was sick. She died five weeks ago."
Before I could hang up she said, "Wait a minute, did you say your name was Wayne?" "Yes." I answered.
"Well, Sally left a
message for you. She wrote it down in case you called."
Let me read it to you.
The note said, "Tell him there are other worlds to sing in.
He'll know what I mean."
I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.
Never underestimate the impression you may make on others.
Whose life have you touched today?
Why not pass this on? I just did....
Lifting you on eagle's wings. May you find the joy and peace you long for.
Life is a journey ... NOT a guided tour.
I loved this story and just had to pass it on. I hope you enjoy it and get a blessing from it just as I did

Hi everybody ! Well I've spent most of this lovely day dashing about in my car all over the place, mostly for other people ! :driving: But I'm home now, doing a bit of chillin.
The photo was taken a few years ago when we ran a charter/trip boat business, and we had decided to do a crew day out down the River Trent from Nottingham to Newark, taking in the popular Newark Market. Great weather and great day out ! That's me with the guitar, and one of our bar staff. We were good bosses - my husband and I, though I say it myself. We also did an annual Christmas 'do' for all the crew and all the jazz bands who played on our jazz nights (trad. jazz). You could say that on that night we had probably the best 'jam session' in the midlands with as many as 18 musicians playing in one big trad. band - fantastic music, all super blokes (and lady bassist !). I managed to video one of the Christmas 'do's' - and when I watch it occasionally, it brings tears to my eyes with those very happy memories. Life's a bitch making you get old isn't it ? Although I have to say I am one who has sworn to be a 'Saga lout' and grow old VERY disgracefully - so far, to my hubby's embarrassment, I am managing this quite well thank you ! I must make a contribution to Kaz's new thread about "growing old disgracefully or with 'dignity' !!!! " :yh_rotfl

The vet suspected it was a gin trap which are illegal, and he suspected George had nibbled at his tail to get free, forunately it didn't deter him in any way he could still climb and do the things cats normally do.:yh_shame :yh_sad

SMART ARSED ANSWER 5
A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check

SMART ARSED ANSWER 3
The policeman got out of his car and the boy racer he stopped for
speeding, rolled down his window.
"I've been waiting for you all day," the bobby said.
The kid replied, "Yes, well I got here as fast as I could."
When the policeman finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his
way without a ticket.
SMART ARSED ANSWER 2
A lorry driver was driving along on a country road. A sign came up
that read " Low Bridge Ahead."
Before he realised it, the bridge was directly ahead and he got stuck
under it..
Cars are backed up for miles. Finally, a police car comes up.
The policeman got out of his car and walked to the lorry's cab and
said to the driver, "Got stuck, eh?"
The lorry driver said, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out
of petrol!"
SMART ARSED ANSWER OF THE YEAR 2006
A teacher at a polytechnic college reminded her pupils of tomorrow's
final exam.
"Now listen to me, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here
tomorrow.
I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury,
illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other
excuses whatsoever!"
A smart-arsed chappie at the back of the room raised his hand and
asked, "What would you happen if I came in tomorrow suffering from
complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"
The entire class was reduced to laughter and sniggering. When silence
was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her
head and sweetly said, "Well, I suppose you'd have to write the exam
with your other hand." :p
