Appealing To The Young

From Dave Granlund

When I was young, I was poor. But after years of hard, honest and painstaking work, I'm no longer young.

Ex Wife

My wife left me for another man.

All that lies ahead now is a miserable, pointless life, with suicide seemingly the only way out.

And while he's going through all that, I'll be in the pub with my mates every night.

Beware


From BerkeleyMews

I once took a slightly damaged stuffed dog on the Antiques Roadshow.

The expert said, "This is very rare, do you know what it would fetch if it was in good condition?"

I said, "I dunno, sticks I suppose?"

Buddy, You're A Fowl, Got A Big Scowl

I went to a bar last night to watch a Swedish pop duo sing a few songs, but when I arrived everyone else was leaving.

I said to the barmaid, "This is the place where Roxette are performing isn't it?"

She said "It must have been, love, but it's over now".

5 Period Forecast

 

From xkcd

Punctuation is very important. An example:

There's a Maypole dancer.

Theresa May, pole dancer.

If (Eton College version)

If you can keep your job when all around you
Lies ravaged from what it is you've done;
If intellect and common sense confound you
And if integrity you have but none;
If you can lie and not be tired by lying,
And pretend you act for the public good,
But then leave the people to their dying
And say you did, sadly, all you could:

If you can dream - of nothing more than power;
If you can think - but only of yourself;
If you believe this country's finest hour
Is when the chosen few can gain more wealth;
If you can flout the law with bluff and bluster
And not care whether you are believed,
Or deny with scorn every single blunder
And not care how many you may deceive:

If you can stir up hatred, fear and violence
To create division to suit your ends;
And answer cries for help with silence,
And then laugh about it with your friends:
If you can stretch this country to its limit
Or until it is you've had your fun,
Yours is this land and everything that's in it,
And - as you wished - you'll be PM, Johnson.

Where Babies Come From


From Cyanide & Happiness

My mate set me up on a blind date.

He said "She's a lovely girl, but there's something you should know. She's expecting a baby".

I felt like a right idiot waiting in the pub wearing nothing but a nappy.

Validation


This clown car that Bonnie Tyler sold me is fine but every now and then it falls apart.

He Left Again

I can't leave the house without playing 'Back in Black' 20 times.

I think I've got OC/DC.
