The Lighthearted Thread ~ Just to change the mind set a bit

A bride and groom to be were both unfortunately killed in a freak accidents on the way to their wedding.

They arrive at the pearly gates together and are greeted at the gates by one of the angels. "Welcome to heaven. I'll show you around but first thing do you have any requests ?"

"Well we were on our way to get married, any chance of that ?"
"Sure I'll arrange it."
Off goes the angel and returns 4 weeks later. "I've finally found a priest ! There's not that many of them here it turns out. Are you ready to go ahead ?"

"I've just one question" asked the groom. "If it doesn't work out are you allowed to get a divorce in heaven ?"

With a look of astonishment the angel replies.
"Your saw how long it took me to find a priest, how long do you think it would take to find a lawyer ?"

Why did the chicken cross the road?

DR. PHIL :
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH :
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

NANCY GRACE :
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN :
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART :
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS :
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY :
To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL :
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

BARBARA WALTERS :
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON :
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

ARISTOTLE :
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

BILL GATES :
I have just released eChicken2013, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ........ reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN :
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON :
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE :
I invented the chicken!

GRANDPA :
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

COLONEL SANDERS :
Did I miss one?

My all time favorite

"A guy goes into a bar with his pet octopus and says "I bet $50 that no one here has a musical instrument that this octopus can't play."

The people in the bar look around and someone fetches an old guitar.

The octopus has a look, picks it up, tunes up the strings and starts playing the guitar. The octopus's owner pockets the fifty bucks.

Next guy comes up with a trumpet, octopus takes the horn, loosens up the keys, licks its lips and starts playing a jazz solo. The guy hands over another fifty bucks to the octopus's owner.

The bar owner has been watching all this and disappears out back, coming back in a few moments later with a set of bagpipes under his arm. He puts them on the bar and says to the guy and his octopus, "Now, if your octopus can play that I'll give you a hundred dollars."

The octopus takes a look at the bagpipes, lifts it up, turns it over, has another look from another angle. Puzzled, the octopus's owner comes up and says "What are you fooling around for? Hurry up and play the * thing!"

The octopus says "Play it? If I can figure out how to get its pyjamas off I'm gonna F@ck it!"

[Sadstock]

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?". The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?"

After a long night of making love the guy notices a photo of another man on the woman's nightstand by the bed.
 
He begins to worry. 'Is this your husband?' he nervously asks.
 
'No, silly,' she replies, snuggling up to him.
 
'Your boyfriend, then?' he continues.
 
'No, not at all,' she says, nibbling away at his ear.
 
'Is it your dad or your brother?' he inquires, hoping to be reassured.
 
'No, no, no! You are so hot when you're jealous!' she answers.
 
'Well, who in the h3ll is he, then?' he demands.
 
She whispers in his ear 'That's me before the surgery.'

Three guys dead and went to heaven. While at Heaven's gate St Pete told all three men that he would ask them if they ever cheated on their wives and based upon their answer it would determine what they got to drive in heaven.  St Pete ask the first guy- He replied, "Never, I was faithful to my beloved wife for over 50 years!" thus a rolls royce awaited him and he drove away with a smile on his face. The 2nd guys replied to St. Pete, "Okay, I was drunk one night and screwed my lady co-work but later on told my wife which we were married over 30 years" St. Pete gave him a Ford LT to drive in heaven. The third guy was laughing his ass off and told St. Pete- "I am not sure how . I got her in the first place! And I screwed any women that came my way- coworkers, neighbors, friends" St. Pete gave him a bicycle to ride in heaven.

While the third man was riding his bike he notice a rolls royce pulled over and saw the first man crying like a baby! He pedaled up to the expensive car and told the first man - "Why the heck are you crying! I am in heaven on a bike sweating my ass off and happy as hell! Yet you are sad?"  The first man told the the third man- "Shut the F*&^ Up! I just saw my wife go by on a skate board!"...

On some air bases, the Air Force is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle. One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is it?"

The tower responded, "Who is calling?"

The aircraft replied, "What difference does it make?"

The tower replied, "It makes a lot of difference. If it is a commercial flight, it is 3 o'clock. If it is an Air Force plane, it is 1500 hours. If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells. If it is an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3."

A Lawyer's Affair.  For three years, the young attorney had been taking his brief vacations at this country inn. The last time he'd finally managed an affair with the innkeeper's daughter. Looking forward to an exciting few days, he dragged his suitcase up the stairs of the inn, then stopped short. There sat his lover with an infant on her lap! "Helen, why didn't you write when you learned you were pregnant?" he cried. "I would have rushed up here, we could have gotten married, and the baby would have my name!" "Well," she said, "when my folks found out about my condition, we sat up all night talkin' and talkin' and decided it would be better to have a *insult removed* in the family than a lawyer."

 

Supposedly From a book called "Disorder in the Court".   Things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters - who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place:

@ Heywoody, Brilliant !! Giggled a few times.

[Poncke]

Before you read this: Please don't judge me... I'm just sharing my story because people asked...

Wow... okay, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to tell anyone about this, but it's late and I'm sleep deprived so i guess I'll just write it now and regret it in the morning 
 
First of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's fvcked up to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So I stayed at my uncle's farm to bust my chops in the fields. Actually it was just a fvcking desert. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.
 
Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.
 
I don't want to go into too many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so fvcking beautiful that I watched it twice. I probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy sh!t went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).
 
Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.
 
My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just wanted to have my way with her. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.
 
After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.
 
Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.
 
My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was fvcked up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.
 
Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever fvcking seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.
 
A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.
 
But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father and that I had to go face him.

Four Worms in Church
(Four worms and a lesson to be learned !!!)
 

A Minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.

The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.

The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.

The fourth worm was put into a container of good, clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol ... Dead.

 

The second worm in cigarette smoke ... Dead.

 



The third worm in chocolate syrup ... Dead.

 


The fourth worm in good, clean soil ... Alive .

So the Minister asked the congregation, "What did you learn from this demonstration?"


Maxine was sitting in the back and quickly raised her hand and said,
 
"As long as you drink, smoke, and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"

That pretty much ended the service !!

Guy leaves the house in the morning for his weekly golf outing with his buddies.  He's usually home about noon. 
Around 1:00 his wife gets a little worried. 2:00 more worried...
He finally walks in the door around 6pm. His wife is beside herself, "Where have you been!?"
"Oh, honey, you wouldn't believe it," he says. "We get on the 3rd tee and Joe keels over dead from a heart attack."
"Oh My God," the wife says. "That's terrible."
"It sure was," the guy responds. "The rest of the day it was hit the ball, drag Joe. Hit the ball, drag Joe."

A man taking a flight finds himself seated next to a parrot.  The parrot is obnoxious in the extreme! Get me a whisky b*tch - he screams at the flight attendant.  The food sucks he shouts and throws his tray across the plane.  The man notices that the parrot is getting a lot of service and attention, so he starts doing the same. And pretty soon the two of them are having a whale of a time shouting and abusing the staff and making all kinds of demands.

But enough gets to be enough and at one point two burly men from the flight staff catch them both, open the door mid-sky, and toss them out of the plane.

As the two are falling to ground the parrot turns and looks at the man in admiration; and says 'For someone who doesn't have wings, you've got balls man'.

Snufkin, that's fabulous. Brought tears to my eyes. Here is an oldie but goodie:-

An Englishman goes on holiday to Spain. He is a gourmet and plans to try all the local specialities in the best restaurants.

One day, he is visiting a small town and finds an unpretentious little restaurant near the bull ring. He looks at the menu, but then notices the person at the next table who has a plate of two large meatballs in some sort of sauce.

In the immortal words, he says to the waiter, "I'll have what she's having." The waiter nods, goes back to the kitchen, and soon he is enjoying the most delicious meatballs he has ever eaten. So impressed is he by this dish, he goes back to the same restaurant for the next three nights, always savouring the tasty meal.

On the fourth night, he asks for the meatballs, and is surprised when the waiter brings out a plate with two much smaller meatballs.

"But I wanted the same as I had last night," he says. "Where are the large meatballs I had before?"

The waiter shrugs, and says, "Senor, it is the way of the bullfight. Sometimes, the bull wins!"

An Englishman an Irishman and a Scotsman are have a chat at an archaeology site.

The Scotsman says; after having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, the Englishman recalls English scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the English newspapers read: "English archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots."

Not impressed by either men, the Irishman says that "The Kerrymen," a southwest Irish newsletter, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat bog near Tralee , Paddy O'Droll, a self taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Paddy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Ireland had already gone wireless."

OK on the englishman, scotsman, irishman vein...

It's 2012 and it's the Olympics in London .
 
A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman want to get in, but they haven't got tickets.
 
The Scotsman picks up a manhole cover, tucks it under his arm and walks to the gate.
 "McTavish, Scotland," he says, "Discus" and in he walks.
 
The Englishman picks up a length of scaffolding and slings it over his shoulder.
 "Waddington-Smythe, England " he says, "Pole vault" and in he walks.
 
The Irishman looks around and picks up a roll of barbed wire and tucks it under his arm. "O'Malley, Ireland " he says, "Fencing."

Government Theory
 
The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that: �When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, best strategy is to dismount�.

However, in government, more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:
 
1. Buying a stronger whip.

2. Changing riders.

3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.

4.  Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.

5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.

6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.

7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.

9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse's performance.

10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.

11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to  be fed, it is less  costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially  more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other  horses.

12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.

And of course....

13 Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

That was probably the funniest joke ever posted here and not even close to the "jesting" some (not all) have given others.

If they can't take a little poke they shouldn't dish it out in the first place. So I'm not sure why you felt the need, Leaf? Peace

Yes, it was funny, but if you allow jokes at the cost of others, who will be able to draw the line on deserved and undeserved comments / targets? It was the logical and proper decision by a responsible site/forum owner. Peace to you to bro 

PS I think that is what the "gawd" you refer to would have done as well - so it probably worked out for His sake as well.

I have to agree with Reef, it was an excellent example of gentle humour that absolutely nailed it - in fact, probably even flattering (as Oscar Wilde said, "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.")

Didn't one of the Popes "castrate" a bunch of statues for similar reasons?
