The statement that they paid $9 is incorrect, they paid 1/3 of 25 (8 1/3) and were give $1 each, bringing it to 9 1/3 accounted for.

more PI humor
 

An Amish farmer walking through his field
notices a man drinking from his pond, with
his hand.

The Amish man shouts: "Trinken Sie nicht
das Wasser, die Kuhe und die Schweine haben
in ihm geschissen!" (which means: "Don't drink
the water. The cows and pigs have pooped in it!)"

The man shouts back: "I am a Muslim. I don't
understand, nor do I care to understand your
gibberish. Speak English, Infidel!"

The Amish man shouts back in English:
"Use two hands, you'll get more!"

From my bro, the Col...


Bro's,

Remember:

-Marines don't go hunting. Hunting implies a chance of failure. Marines go killing.

-When Marines do push-ups they don't push themselves up, they push the earth away.

-Marines have been to the Virgin Islands. That's why they are now simply referred to as "The Islands".

-Marines don't wear watches. They tell you what time it is.

Semper Fi,
Minimus

That sounds like Chuck Norris jokes. Still funny though.

For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an 'Australian treasure!'


(OF/Sharni - real-life guy?)


General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.
You'll love his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of an ABC interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.


FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

LOL! TY dm383. :)

I'm sending that friends and family. To funny not to.

Cosgrove is real, but I read this attributed to a Yank a few years ago.

There is a trend to Australianise interesting American or British stories.


"A college girl" becomes "an Australian girl" etc.

It's cool to be Aussie again, isn't it...

When was it not?

uuuummm...couple weeks ago, I think you were having a coffee break... :shrug:

I'm in England at the moment, you know, the long dark coffee-break of the soul.

Did I tell you about a postcard I saw?

It had a typically 1950s kitchen scene, her over the stove and him looking on.

She said "What brings you home at 7 in the morning?"

He said " Breakfast."

I was in the pub yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to fart. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my farts with the beat. After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my pint and noticed that everybody was staring at me. Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod.

:blink:

Just in case you need a laugh:

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one; a reassurance to those of us who fly routinely in our jobs. After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS ' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.

By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.
