Got this by email and chuckled enough I wanted to share:

Having a bad day? - In a hospital's Intensive Care
Unit,
patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at
about
11:00 a.m., regardless of their medical condition.

This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had
something
to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery
as
to why the deaths occurred around 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, so a
worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the
cause of
the incidents.

The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11:00 a.m., all
of
the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to
see
for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about.
Some
were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other holy
objects
to ward off the evil spirits.

Just when the clock struck 11:00, Pookie Johnson, the
part-time
Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life
support
system so he could use the vacuum cleaner.


Having a Bad Day????


The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon
Valdez
Oil spill in Alaska was $80,000.00. At a special ceremony,
two
of the most expensively saved animals were being released back
into
the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers.

A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.


Still think you are having a Bad Day????


A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking
frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of
wire
running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending
to
jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with
a
handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to
that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.


STILL think you're having a Bad Day????


Two animal rights defenders were protesting the cruelty of
sending
pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two
thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence,
stampeding madly.

The two helpless protesters were trampled to death.


What?? STILL having a Bad Day????


Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a
letter bomb. It came back with "Return to Sender" stamped on
it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown
to
bits.


There now, feeling better????
 
we really ought to have a joke of the day to get us started. I love the Pookie joke. And the kettle one - well, you guys know we women have to look after you and if we find you having a fit of some kind, we will give you a knock to straighten you up - or out! :p :D
 
Thanks for that loved it, cheered me up:) loved the last one best
 
Ahem...

You may have heard this one before (or some variation on the theme) and chances are, it sounded better hearing it that reading it off the computer screen but here goes:



I was sitting in a bar one day talking about the weather with the bartender when a koala walked in, sat up to the bar and ordered a meal from the kitchen in back.

He sat quietly and ate his meal without making any conversation or paying attention to anyone else in the bar.

When he was finished, he paid the bartender for his drinks and the food, pulled out a pistol, fired two rounds into the air and walked out of the bar.


After waiting for my heart to settle back into my chest I asked the bartender what had just happened.



"He's a koala, he eats, shoots, and leaves."


:D
 
Koala joke history

Koala joke history

I love this one, though it was originally written using a panda (who eats bamboo) to show the importance of punctuation - particularly the comma. When describing the diet of a panda this is what would be expected:
He eats shoots and leaves. But if you insert a simple comma, the meaning is totally different. He eats, shoots and leaves.
It's actually the title of a book, subtitled The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation, by Lynne Truss.

Duuuuuh! That's how I feel.

I have been trying to figure the joke out. I love a good joke and appreciated it being shared, but I couldn't get it....I was actually going to ask someone if they understood it....probably the moment I spoke it out loud I would have gotten it.

Thanks for the explanation. BTW, I'd love to read that book...maybe I'll drop a Christmas hint...or go to the library.
 
There's another book out there illustrating punctuation mistakes and how that can change sentence meaning that uses the koala version of the joke, that's where I got it from, and I believe the book is actually titled "Eats, Shoots and Leaves." or something to that effect.


I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure on it.

Now I gotta go look for it on Amazon. :rolleyes:
 
Wow... My brain's in another place right now isn't it?

Anyone happen to know where 'cause I certainly don't!!!



:eek:


Sorry. There's some crap going on in the fire department that I'm a member of and some of the fallout is landing in my general direction seeing as how I'm associated with the newspaper and in a position to exercise my voice in a way others can not do so directly.

I'm in the clear in a legal standpoint, haven't broken any laws and there was never any doubt in that, just that, given my position in the paper, a LOT of people felt I should have done (and should still be doing) more to address the current situation.


Frankly, I just wanna crawl into a deep hole and not come back out until spring if that's OK with everyone... :(

It's tough when your a man of many hats. Consider this a temporing as there is likely to be more down the road.
