Allan F Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (With sincere apologies to my friends from Oz.) The Wellington Zoo in New Zealand had acquired a female of a very rare species of gorilla. Within weeks, the gorilla became very cantankerous and difficult to handle. Upon examination, the zoo veterinarian determined the problem to be that the gorilla was in heat. To make matters worse, there were no male gorillas of the species available. While reflecting on the problem, zoo management noticed Rick, a big Aussie lad who was responsible for fixing the zoo's machinery, was standing nearby. Rick seemed to be possessed with ample ability to satisfy a female of any species. So, they thought that they might have a solution. Rick was approached and offered the following proposition. "Would you be willing to have sex with the gorilla for $500?" Rick replied that he would have to think about it over night. The following day, Rich told zoo management that he would accept the offer, but only under three conditions: "First", he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her". "Secondly, you must never tell anyone about this". "And finally, you gotta give me a couple of weeks to come up with the $500." "Relax, it's only hi-fi. There's never been a hi-fi emergency." - Roy Hall "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." - William Bruce Cameron Link to comment

Summit Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 The man was out testing his new sporty Porsche. He lowered the roof and pressed the gas. As he drove over 120 he saw blue lights behind him. He had become somewhat speed blind, thinking that the police could never catch him. He pushed the gas to the bottom, but as he approached 170 he began to think: - What the hell am I doing, and then he stopped at the roadside. The police came to the car with the fine in hand. - It has been a long day, my passport is soon over and it is also Friday the thirteenth. I have no desire to start messing with paper. I will let you know if you can provide an explanation for the speeding, which I have not heard before. The man thought 2 seconds and answered, - My wife left me last week, she left with a police officer. I thought he wanted to give her back. The police wished the man a nice weekend. Link to comment
Popular Post Summit Posted April 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2020 An American soldier stationed in Afghanistan recently received a letter from his girlfriend back home in the States. The letter stated: Dear Raymond I'm sorry, but I don't want to continue our relationship. The distance between us is too large. Also, I have to admit that I have been unfaithful to you twice since you left so it is as good that it is over. - Sorry. PS. Can you please send back the photo I gave you .. Goodbye / Wendy The soldier, who looked a little taken, walked around among his comrades and collected all the pictures he could get, on girlfriends, sisters, cousins, ex, grandparents and aunts ... Together with the picture on Wendy he put all the photos in one envelope. Together, there were 57 pictures. He left with a one message ... Dear Wendy I'm sorry, but I forgot who you are. Please pick out your photo and send the rest back ... Ciao / Raymond sphinxsix and kumakuma 2 Link to comment

I agree, if it depended on me I'd jail people who use them compulsively in situations that are supposed to be social. As for playing music using phone's speakers in public places that would be life sentence. Teresa and Allan F 2 Link to comment
