SOMETHING AUSSIE




----------------------------



Once there were these two birds who,
every year for quite a few years, had one egg,
which they hatched and nurtured
and loved until the little chick was ready to leave the nest.
Then, one year, they had two eggs!
Well, they were just so excited they could hardly stand it;
this year they would each have an egg to take care of and love.
They kept close watch on those two eggs so that no harm came to them.
Then one day when the eggs were ready to hatch,
an earthquake shook the tree where the nest was;
the two birds flew away to safety,
all the while worrying about those two eggs that were about to hatch.
When the tremor was finished, they hurried back to the nest.
As they neared it, they heard one strong "Cheep" coming from the nest.
They were worried that something might have happened to the other egg,
but when they got to the nest,
they found that there were TWO chicks cheeping in unison.
This just goes to show that two can cheep as lively as one.


The history class was studying the Revolutionary battle of Saratoga
which was probably lost because General William Howe
chose to remain in Philadelphia.
The teacher then asked the class to explain this major British defeat.
"Lack of no Howe,"
answered a voice from the back of the classroom.



One early morning, a farmer was milking his cow.
The farmer was just starting to get a good rhythm going
when a bug flew into the barn and started circling his head.
Suddenly, the bug flew into the cow's ear.
The farmer didn't think much about it,
until the bug squirted out into his bucket
. It went in one ear and out the udder!


They hadn't seen their Uncle Max for over ten years
but every year his nieces sent him birthday greetings.
One year, they remembered how he had always
admired a set of military hairbrushes,
so they sent them to him as a gift.
A few weeks later they received a snapshot of their completely bald uncle
with a note that read:
"Thanks for the gift
. I will never part with it."

Robinson Crusoe fell desperately ill.
Just before dropping into a coma,
he called for his man Friday to help him.
Friday, not knowing what else to do,
went outside of Crusoe's tent and danced around and prayed
for God to come and help his master.
Shortly afterwards, Crusoe awoke from his coma
and groggily perceived a shape at the foot of his bed.
In panic, he imagined that the angel of death had come to get him.
Then his the shape came into focus,
and he cried with relief,
"Thank God! It's Friday!"

Staring at an empty cage, a zoo visitor asks,
"Where are all the monkeys?"
"It's mating season," the keeper replies. "They're inside."
"Do you think they'd come out for peanuts?"
The keeper answered, "Probably not."
"Why not?" persists the visitor.
"Would you?"

A man walks into a bar with a duck and a biscuit tin.
He sets the duck on top of the biscuit tin on the bar and the duck begins dancing.
The barman finds this rather interesting as do the rest of the punters in the pub.
They all come round the duck and watch it for ages,
and while doing so, buy more and more drink
. By the end of the night the bar is full of people watching this amazing duck
, still dancing and giving the odd quack now and again.
The barman realizes that he hasn't had business this good in a long time.
It is so good that he offers to buy the duck from the man
to which the man agrees to sell for $500.
The barman thinks it is a bit expensive but agrees to buy it anyhow.
On selling the duck, the man goes home leaving
a crowded pub watching his dancing duck.
Later that night, the man gets a telephone call.
It is the barman and he exclaims that the duck is a great success
and that he has his money back in the amount of drink he has sold,
but he says,
"There is one thing..
. How do you get the duck to stop dancing?"
The man replies,
"Oooh simple! Just take the lid off the biscuit box
and blow out the candle."

LAWYERS




Lawyer -
A person who writes a 10,000 word document and calls it a "brief".











A man went to his lawyer and said,
‘I would like to make a will,
but I don’t know exactly how to go about it.’
The lawyer smiled at the man and replied,
‘Not a problem, leave it all to me.’
The man looked somewhat upset and said,
‘Well, I knew you were going to take a big portion,
but I would like to leave a little to my family too!

This could work!!

A daughter comes home from the Peace Corps in Uganda
and surprises her mother,
who is in the process of lighting the Friday night candles
and serving the matzoh ball soup.
The mother is so thrilled she can't stop hugging and kissing her daughter.
Finally she says, "Sit down, darling. Tell me all about what you were doing."
Her daughter says, "Mom, I got married."
"Oy, mazeltov," says the mother.
"How could you do that without telling me?
What's he like? What does he do? Where is he?"
"He's waiting outside on the porch while I tell you."
"What are you talking about? Bring him in!
I want to meet my new son-in-law."
The daughter brings him in, and to her consternation,
the mother sees a black man standing before her wearing a big grin,
a feathered cod piece, an enormous headdress, animal tooth beads
and he is holding a very tall spear in an upright position.
The mother grabs her daughter,
slaps her back and forth on both cheeks and screams,
"Dummy! Stupid! Idiot!
I said RICH doctor!"

Saskatchewan Turtle Burgers

ONLY IN SASKATCHEWAN !!
Here's a new twist on how to serve burgers
and if you don't cook,
give this handy little guide to someone that does and request them.
HIGH in Cholesterol too!


Handmade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese,
wrapped in a bacon weave, then the next step,
add hot dogs as the heads, legs with slits for toes and tail.
Next step. Place on an oven rack, covered loosely with foil
and baked for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees.
Or you can do them on the Barbee too.
A little crispy, not too crunchy.
..just how a turtle should be, right?

thanks Don H
I betcha David T in Langley would like one these burgers!!!
