Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a cheque. Oh, by the way don't worry about my dog Spike. He won't bother you."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"But, whatever you do, do &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;, under &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ANY &lt;/span&gt;circumstances, talk to my parrot!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;"I MUST STRESS TO YOU: DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he has ever seen.

A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from four days to four years to complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years; It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:100%;color:black;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p face="arial" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:100%;color:black;"  &gt;When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:100%;color:black;"  &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8622074-3102273585038879093?l=pheasant-plucker.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RamblingsOfAPheasantPlucker/~4/axLSMZb5x_I" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RamblingsOfAPheasantPlucker/~3/axLSMZb5x_I/new-element-discovered.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tony M.)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://pheasant-plucker.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-element-discovered.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622074.post-2790091360449858400</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-29T14:41:25.955+01:00</atom:updated><title>Friends Re-United</title><description>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Four friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a party &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Those who remained talked about their kids. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The first guy said, 'My son is my pride and joy.He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the president of the company.

Nope, no more booze for me!&lt;br /&gt;3. Sorry, but you're not really my type.&lt;br /&gt;4. Kebab? No thanks, I'm not hungry.&lt;br /&gt;5. Good evening, officer. Isn't it lovely out tonight?&lt;br /&gt;6.. Oh, I couldn't! No one wants to hear me sing karaoke.&lt;br /&gt;7. I'm not interested in fighting you.&lt;br /&gt;8. Thank you, but I won't make any attempt to dance, I have no coordination. I'd hate to look like a fool!&lt;br /&gt;9.

This is the message that the Maroochydore High School   Queensland , staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine . This is the actual answering machine message for the school. This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework. The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children's failing grades changed to passing grades - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough school work to pass their classes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The outgoing message:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Hello!

While Wife 1.0 tends to use up&lt;br /&gt;all my available resources, it does come bundled with CookingPlus and&lt;br /&gt;Cleanhouse2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very&lt;br /&gt;unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in&lt;br /&gt;Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted. They then resurfaced months&lt;br /&gt;later when I had forgotten about them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer and E-mail filter, and can,&lt;br /&gt;without warning, launch TurboStrop and Multi-Whinge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These latter products have no Help files, and I have to try to guess what&lt;br /&gt;the problem is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring&lt;br /&gt;ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be&lt;br /&gt;reinstalled every other week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Saab 93 Convertible hard drive, it&lt;br /&gt;often crashes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up called MotherInLaw, which&lt;br /&gt;can't be turned off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently I've been tempted to install Mistress 2007, but there could be&lt;br /&gt;problems. A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0&lt;br /&gt;detects Mistress 2007, it tends to delete all of your Money before&lt;br /&gt;uninstalling itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Help requested please!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the flip side...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Tech Support:*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a&lt;br /&gt;distinct slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the Flower&lt;br /&gt;and Jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as&lt;br /&gt;Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable&lt;br /&gt;programs such as: Football 5.0, Rugby 4.3 and Cricket 3.0.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conversation 8.0 no longer runs; it simply crashes the system. I've tried&lt;br /&gt;running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, to no avail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can I do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signed,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desperate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Desperate:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband&lt;br /&gt;1.0 is an Operating System.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try entering the command: C:/ITHOUGHTYOULOVEDME to download Tears 6.2, which&lt;br /&gt;should automatically install Guilt 3.0. If that application works as&lt;br /&gt;designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications&lt;br /&gt;Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse of the above&lt;br /&gt;application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy&lt;br /&gt;Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WARNING: Beer 6.1 is a very nasty program that will create Flatulism 6.2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CAUTION: Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law. This is not a&lt;br /&gt;supported application and will crash Husband 1.0.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory&lt;br /&gt;and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying&lt;br /&gt;additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally&lt;br /&gt;recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt; &lt;!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8622074-6266568561567157868?l=pheasant-plucker.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RamblingsOfAPheasantPlucker/~4/mM21S5wr9lY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RamblingsOfAPheasantPlucker/~3/mM21S5wr9lY/it.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tony M.)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://pheasant-plucker.blogspot.com/2009/04/it.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622074.post-2851541925160235322</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Apr 2009 11:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-04-10T12:29:40.865+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">humour</category><title>New Orleans Crabs....</title><description>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;A man boarded an airplane in New Orleans with a box of  frozen crabs and asked a blonde, female crew member to  take care of the box for him.

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   I said, 'Dust.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   And then the fight started...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   ******************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;2. My wife and I are watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" while we were in bed. I turned to her and said,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   "Do you want to have sex?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   "No," she answered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   I then said, "Is that your final answer?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   And then the fight started....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   ******************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;3. Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;My loving wife of 10 years replied, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And that's how the fight started...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;******************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;4. I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny? Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... He was a DWARF!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, "I AM NOT HAPPY!!!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;So, I looked down at him and said, "Well, then which one are you?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And then the fight started.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;*****************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;5. My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I bought her bathroom scales.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And then the fight started...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;******************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;6. When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   so, I took her to a petrol station.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And then the fight started...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;******************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;7. After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And then the fight started...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;******************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;8. My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And then the fight started...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;******************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;9. I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   "I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?""&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   Nah, she can order for herself."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And then the fight started...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;******************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;10. A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;   She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I really need you to pay me a compliment.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And then the fight started.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8622074-8949925645117444725?l=pheasant-plucker.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RamblingsOfAPheasantPlucker/~4/63rg4UAHIhA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RamblingsOfAPheasantPlucker/~3/63rg4UAHIhA/and-then-fight-started.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tony M.)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://pheasant-plucker.blogspot.com/2009/03/and-then-fight-started.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622074.post-3094607986683547693</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-02-09T16:28:55.140Z</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">humour</category><title>Do you ever worry about the NHS at all?
