Christmas Jokes
How does Good King Wencleslas like his pizza?
Deep pan, crisp and even!
How does and Eskimo build his house?
'Igloos' it together!
Why is a descant called a descant?
Because sopranos 'descant' sing them!
Did you know that the three wise men came from Yorkshire? It was the only place they could find three wise men together. No, really, it says in the Bible 'wise men came from the East Riding, on camels'.

Oops...
This is a genuine mistake made in Ireland. This was actually sold in the supermarkets - until they twigged!!
Things You'd Love to Say at Work...
1 I can see your point, but I still think you're full of sh*t.
2 I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
3 How about never? Is never good for you?
4 I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
5 I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way.
7 I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.
8 It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.
9 I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid.
10 You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
11 I have plenty of talent and vision; I just don't give a sh*t.
12 I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
13 I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
14 Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
15 The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
16 Any resemblance between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
17 What am I? Flypaper for freaks?!
18 I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
19 It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.
20 Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
21 And your cry-baby whiny-a *sed opinion would be?
22 This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting.
23 I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.
24 Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.
25 Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.
26 Whatever kind of look you were aiming for, you missed.
27 An office is just a mental institute without the padded walls.
28 Nice perfume (or aftershave). Must you marinate in it?
29 Chaos, panic, and disorder. My work here is done.
30 How do I set a laser printer to stun?
31 I thought I wanted a career; it turns out I just needed the money.
32 I'll try being nicer if you'll try being more intelligent.
33 Wait a minute - I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
34 I'd like to help you out, which way did you come in?
35 Did you eat an extra bowl of stupid this morning?
36 Why don't you slip into something more comfortable? Like a coma.
37 If you have something to say raise your hand.........then place it over your mouth.
38 I'm too busy, can I ignore you some other time?
39 Don't let your mind wander, its too small to be let out on its own.
40 Have a nice day, somewhere else.
41 You're not yourself today, I noticed the improvement straight away.
42 You are as pretty as a picture, I'd really like to hang you.
43 Don't believe everything you think.
44 Do you hear that? That's the sound of no-one caring
45 The voices in my head don't like you.
46 I like you, I will kill you last.
2 I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
3 How about never? Is never good for you?

The Future of Nursery Rhymes?
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
The structure of the wall was incorrect
So he won a grand with Claims Direct.
It's Raining, It's Pouring.
Oh no, it's Global Warming.
Jack and Jill went into town
To fetch some chips and sweeties.
He can't keep his heart rate down
And she's got diabetes.
Mary had a little skirt
with splits right up the sides
and everywhere that Mary went
the boys could see her thighs.
Mary had another skirt
'twas split right up the front
...But she didn't wear that one often.
Mary had a little lamb
her father shot it dead.
Now it goes to school with her
between two chunks of bread.
Simple Simon met a pie man going to the fair.
Said Simple Simon to the pie man
'What have u got there?'
Said the pie man unto Simon
Pies you muppet.
Mary had a little lamb
it ran into a pylon.
10,000 volts went up its bum
and turned its wool to nylon.
Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie
kissed the girls and made them cry.
When the boys came out to play
he kissed them too cause he was gay.
Jack and Jill
went up the hill
to have a little fun.
Jill, the dill,
forgot her pill,
and now they have a son.
Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
And planned to do some kissing.
Jack made a pass
and grabbed her ass
Now two of his teeth are missing.
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white and wispy.
Then it caught Foot and Mouth Disease
And now it's black and crispy.

9. Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?
10. Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?
11. Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one?
12. "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language.Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?
13. If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it followthat electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?
14. What hair colour do they put on the driver's licences of bald men?
15. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny littlespoons and forks so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?
16. Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the postmen can look for them whilethey deliver the mail?
17. You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.
18. No one ever says, "It's only a game" when their team is winning.
