Dedicated To All English Teachers

When I was in class 7, I used to ask a lot of questions.

One day, I asked my English Teacher, “Why do we ignore some letters in pronunciation eg. the letter “H” in Hour, Honor…etc.

My English Teacher said. “We are not ignoring them; they’re considered silent” (l was even more confused …..?????)

During the lunch break, my Teacher gave me her packed lunch and asked me to heat it in microwave in the Cafeteria.

I ate all the food and returned her the empty container.

My English Teacher: What happened? I told you to go and HEAT my food, you are returning me an empty container.

I replied, “Madam, I thought ‘H’ was silent.”

Oh Boy…More Warning Signs!

On a cardboard windshield sun shade: “Warning: Do Not Drive With Sun Shield in Place” (why…a duh!)

On an infant’s bathtub: Do not throw baby out with bath water. (ah-ha! So that’s what happened to my little sister!)

On a Magic 8 Ball: Not advised for use as a home pregnancy test. (oh sure…now they tell me!)

On a roll of Life Savers: Not for use as a flotation device. (aye matey…but the sharks love ‘em!)

On a disposable razor: Do not use this product during an earthquake. (Ouch)

On a handgun: Not recommended for use as a nutcracker. (Or for any other reason!)

On pantyhose: Not to be used in the commission of a felony. (well that’s just great…now what do I use!)

On a palm sander: Not to be used to sand palms. (Then what do you use it for?)

On a blender: Not for use as an aquarium. (he-he…I gotta try this one!)

On syrup of ipecac: Caution: May cause vomiting. (I hope so)

On a revolving door: Passenger compartments for individual use only. (Unless your REALLY good friends!)

On children’s alphabet blocks: Letters may be used to construct words, phrases and sentences that may be deemed offensive. (hmmm…I think I’ll test this one out on my nephews :~)

Who Gets Into Heaven

Stormy Daniels and Queen Elizabeth went to the Pearly Gates on the same day

They both met with an angel to find out if they would be admitted to Heaven.

The angel said: “Unfortunately, there’s only one space available in Heaven today so I must decide which one of you will be admitted.”

The angel asked Stormy if there was some particular reason why she should go to Heaven. Stormy took off her top and said: “Look at these, they’re the most perfect breasts God ever created and I’m sure it will please God to be able to see them every day, for eternity.”

The angel thanked Stormy, and asked Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, the same question.

The Queen walked over to a toilet, pulled the lever, and flushed it without saying a word.

The Angel immediately said: “Okay, your Majesty, you may go into Heaven.”

Stormy was outraged and asked, “What was that all about? I showed you two of God’s own perfect creations and you turned me down. She simply flushed a commode and she got admitted to Heaven! Would you explain that to me?”

“Sorry, Stormy,” said the Angel, “but even in Heaven, a royal flush beats a pair, no matter how big they are.”

Why Were You Speeding?

A man gets pulled over for speeding!!!

As the cop approaches the car, the man asks if he can get out of the car and the cop says ok!

He then asks the man why he was speeding!

The man says, “You see the woman sitting in the passenger side front seat? That’s my wife! You see the woman sitting in the back seat? That’s my mother-in-law! And she has been living with us for 3 months now and this morning they had a big fight and my mother-in-law insisted we take her home and I’m trying to get her there as quickly as possible before they make up and she wants to come back home with us!!!”

The cop looks at the man and says, “Get back in your car and I will give you a police escort with lights and siren and we will get her home!!!”

You Know They Would

My girlfriend regularly tells me “If free public libraries didn’t already exist and someone tried to invent them, they would be condemned as a socialist plot”, and I think about that a lot.

Two Cows Defined (that you haven’t heard before)

Defining societies via the ownership of 2 cows

FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.

PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. You have to take care of all the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need.

BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and as many eggs as the regulations say you should need.

FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them, and sells you the milk.

PURE COMMUNISM: You have two cows. Your neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk.

RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.

DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you.

SINGAPOREAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. The government fines you for keeping two unlicensed farm animals in an apartment.

MILITARISM: You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts you.

PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.

REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk.

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The government promises to give you two cows if you vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in cow futures. The press dubs the affair “Cowgate.”

BRITISH DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. You feed them sheep’s brains and they go mad. The government doesn’t do anything.

BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them. After that it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows.

ANARCHY: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbors try to kill you and take the cows.

CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

HONG KONG CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven cows’ milk back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because the fung shui is bad.

ENVIRONMENTALISM: You have two cows. The government bans you from milking or killing them.

FEMINISM: You have two cows. They get married and adopt a veal calf.

TOTALITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and denies they ever existed. Milk is banned.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: You are associated with (the concept of “ownership” is a symbol of the phallo-centric, war mongering, intolerant past) two differently-aged (but no less valuable to society) bovines of non-specified gender.

COUNTER CULTURE: Wow, dude, there’s like . . . these two cows, man. You got to have some of this milk.

SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

Thank You Lucy

In 1964, Lucille Ball was the sole owner of Desilu Studios and the first woman to ever run a major Hollywood studio. At the time, Desilu producers were looking for ideas that could be developed into new series and they contracted two ambitious writers to develop pilots: Gene Roddenberry with “Star Trek” and Bruce Geller with “Mission: Impossible.”

Desilu took the Star Trek pilot to CBS with whom they had a first-refusal agreement but the network rejected it and opted to pick up another new space-themed show “Lost in Space.” The studio then took the pilot, “The Cage,” to NBC which called it “too cerebral” but, rather than rejecting it outright, they took the unprecedented move of ordering a second pilot, “Where No Man Has Gone Before.” The network decided to order a season but the Desilu Board of Directors balked. Fearing that the studio was overstretching itself with three expensive new programs — Star Trek, Mission Impossible, and a western called The Long Hunt for April Savage — all but one of the board members voted to cancel Star Trek in February 1966.

Lucille Ball, however, had high hopes for the fledgling show and was impressed by Roddenberry’s vision so she used her power as board chair to override the decision. Production of the show continued and the first episode aired in September of that year. As studio accountant Edwin Holly later conceded, “If it were not for Lucy, there would be no ‘Star Trek’ today.” So the next time that you’re watching Star Trek — or one of the many science fiction future worlds that it inspired — remember that you have one more reason to love Lucy!
