    Two Red Indians and an Irishman were walking through the woods. All of a sudden one of the Red Indians ran up a hill to the mouth of a small cave.

    'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' he called into the cave and listened closely until he heard an answering, 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Woooooo! He then tore off his clothes and ran into the cave.

    The Irishman was puzzled and asked the remaining Indian what it was all about,. 'Was the other Indian crazy or what?'

    The Indian replied 'No, It is our custom during mating season when Indian men see cave, they holler 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' into the opening. If they get an answer back, it means there's a beautiful squaw in there waiting for us.

    Just then they came upon another cave. The second Indian ran up to the cave, stopped, and hollered,
    'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!'
    Immediately, there was the answer. 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' from deep inside.

    He also tore off his clothes and ran into the opening.

    The Irishman wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then spied a third large cave. As he looked in amazement at the size of the huge opening, he was thinking, 'Hoo, man! Look at the size of this cave! It is bigger than those the Indians found. There must be some really big, fine women in this cave!'

    He stood in front of the opening and hollered with all his might - 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' Like the others, he then heard an answering call, 'WOOOOOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO!'
    With a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face, he raced into the cave, tearing off his clothes as he ran.

    Pam, I still buy Akta Vite and love it .... it's great on ice cream, in hot milk, just by the spoonful ...yum.



    Here's a smile you might have heard:

    Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven.

    When they get there, St. Peter says, 'We only have one rule here in heaven: Don't step on the ducks!'

    So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It’s almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.

    Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and says,
    'Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!'

    The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.

    The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.

    She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St.Peter comes up to her
    With the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on .... very tall, long eyelashes, muscular.

    St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.

    The happy woman says, 'I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?'

    The guy says, 'I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck.

    MURDER AT COLES

    Tired of constantly being broke and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife, with himself as the beneficiary, and then arranging to have her killed. A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with a nefarious, dark-side, underworld figure who went by the name of 'Artie.'

    Artie explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $10,000. The husband said he was willing to pay that amount but that he wouldn't have any cash to hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money. Artie insisted on being paid at least something up front, so the man opened his wallet, displaying a single $1 Coin resting inside.

    Artie sighed, rolled his eyes and reluctantly agreed to accept the $1 as down payment for the dirty deed. A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local COLES Super Store. There, he surprised her in the Produce Department and proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands and, as the poor unsuspecting woman slumped to the floor and drew her last breath, the Manager of the Produce Department stumbled, unexpectedly, onto the murder scene.

    Unwilling to leave any living witnesses, ol' Artie had no choice but to strangle the Produce Manager as well. However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured

    by hidden security cameras and observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught and arrested before he could even leave the store.

    Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual financial arrangements with the hapless husband who was also quickly arrested.

    The next day in the newspaper, the headline declared . . . . ..

    This story happened a while ago in Dublin, and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it’s true.

    John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John, desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car and closed the door, only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn't on!!

    The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road ahead and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared through the window and turned the wheel. John, paralysed with terror, watched as the hand repeatedly came through the window, but never touched or harmed him.

    Shortly thereafter John saw the lights of a pub appear down the road, so, gathering strength; he jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he had just had. A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realised he was crying and....wasn't drunk.

    Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from the stormy night. They, like John, were also soaked and out of breath. Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other, “Look Paddy.....there's that f ...king idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it!"

    Here is another true car story.

    A man goes to a party and has too much to drink. His friends plead with him to let them take him home. He says no - he only lives a couple of km away.

    About five blocks from the party the police pull him over for weaving all over the road, ask him to get out of the car and take the breathalyzer test. Just as he is about to blow, the police radio informs the policemen of a robbery taking place in a house a short distance away.
    The police tell the partygoer to remain where he is, they will be right back; and they run down the street to the robbery.

    The guy waits and waits and finally decides to drive home. When he gets there, he tells his wife he is going to bed, and to tell anyone who might come looking for him that he has 'flu and has been in bed all day.

    A short while later the police knock on the door. They ask if Mr. X lives there and his wife says yes. They ask to see him and she replies that he is in bed with 'flu and has been there all day. However, the police have his driver's license. They ask to see his car and she asks why. They insist on seeing his car, so she takes them to the garage and opens the door where they find the police car with lights still flashing.

    A Cardiologist's Funeral

    A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.

    Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.

    At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter.

    When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral........I'm a gynaecologist."

    Hello ALL!

    Where are you?

    Yesterday I met our James and Justin at the Sydney Boat Show. They are on the Boat Safety stand. They remain busy doing their presentations and motivational speaking, as well as preparing for their Antarctic expedition.


    Justin’s ankle is on the mend. He broke it during a 100 km FUN run they both did in May. Read about it on their website:
    http://www.crossingtheditch.com.au

    I quote: "Unfortunately Justin went over on his ankle with 88km to go. Most normal people would've pulled out at this stage, but Jonesy being Jonesy pushed through the pain and hobbled to finish in a respectable 19hrs 40min. The damage had been done though. Justin had broken his Fibula on top of a stress fracture and tore a whole lot of tendons."

    At the Boat Show I saw presentations by Jessica Watson, also Mike Perham the young pom who also has sailed single handed around the world.

    Jessica attracted a large audience due to her celebrity treatment. Mike, less known in Sydney had a smaller crowd, none the less gave a good show, full of enthusiasm. His boat is a more high performance ocean racer while Jessica’s Pink Lady is a more robust cruising yacht. He had to call into ports several times for repairs, while Pink Lady held together for the whole trip.

    Jessica was the biggest drawcard. They were hanging from the rafters.

    I had Jessica and Mike sign their books.

    Don McIntyre gave a talk about his recent reenactment of Captain William Bligh’s open boat voyage, after the mutiny on the Bounty. 3,700 nautical miles in an overloaded boat, with little food or water and no charts, from Tonga to Kupang in Timor.
    http://www.taliskerbountyboat.com

    These and more can be seen at ther Sydney Boat show over this weekend.

    Last night, at the Maritime Museum I completed my overdose of seawater and went to a presentation on the Plastiki, the boat built out of recycled pet plastic bottles that has just arrived in Sydney from San Francisco, to highlight the damage being done to our oceans’ and the wildlife in them by discarded plastic.
    http://www.theplastiki.com

    One message was don't buy bottled water. I agree.

    Now for a joke.

    A couple was having a discussion about family finances. Finally the husband exploded, "If it weren’t for my money, the house wouldn’t be here!" The wife replied, "My dear, if it weren’t for your money I wouldn’t be here."

    MEN DO REMEMBER ANNIVERSARIES

    A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

    She puts on her dressing gown and goes downstairs to look for him.

    She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him.

    He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.

    She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

    'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps into the room, 'Why are you down here at this time of night?'

    The husband looks up from his coffee, 'I am just remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started dating. You were only 16.

    Do you remember back then?' he says solemnly.
    The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring, so sensitive.

    'Yes, I do' she replies.

    The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.

    'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?'

    'Yes, I remember!' said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

    The husband continues. 'Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said,

    'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'

    'I remember that too' she replies softly.

    He wipes another tear from his cheek and says...

    'I would have been released today.'

    Old Gals...........

    Two old ladies are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain. One of the old ladies pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking..

    Maude:
    What in the heck is that?

    Mabel: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.

    Maude: Where did you get it?

    Mabel: You can get them at any drugstore.

    The next day, Maude hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms.

    The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what brand of condom she prefers.

    'Doesn't matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel.'

    The pharmacist fainted.

    A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and going nowhere. Nothing is moving north or south.
    Suddenly a man knocks on his window. The driver rolls down his window and asks,
    ‘What happened, what’s the hold up?’

    “Terrorists have kidnapped Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Penny Wong and John Faulkner.

    They are asking for a $100 million ransom, otherwise, they are going to douse them with petrol and set them on fire.

    We are going from car to car, taking up a collection.”

    The driver asks, “On average, how much is everyone giving?”

    “Oh, so far about five litres ......”

    The Silent Treatment

    A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.

    Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence(and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,

    'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.

    The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.'

    Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests..

    Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica - where do they go ?

    Wonder no more ! ! !


    Penguins are very ritualistic birds which live an extremely ordered and complex life. They are very committed to family and will mate for life and maintain a form of compassionate contact with their offspring throughout their lives,

    If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.

    The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:





    "Freeze a jolly good fellow"

    "Freeze a jolly good fellow."

    "Then they kick him in the ice hole."

    HOT & COLD SEX

    After his exam the doctor said to the elderly man: 'You appear to be in
    good health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me
    about?'

    'In fact, I do,' said the old man. ' After I have sex I am usually cold
    and chilly, and then, after I have sex with her the second time, I am
    usually hot and sweaty.'

    After examining his elderly wife, the doctor said: 'Everything appears to
    be fine. Do you have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss
    with me?'

    The lady replied that she had no questions or concerns.

    The doctor then said to her: 'Your husband had an unusual concern.. He
    claims that he is usually cold and chilly after having sex with you the
    first time, and then hot and sweaty after the second time. Do you know
    why?'

    'Oh that crazy old fart,' she replied. 'That's because the first time is
    usually in winter and the second time is in summer.'

    Where is everybody??????

    Helloooooo

    Pam
  14.  
    I'm back,

    Here is a quiz for people who know everything.

    I found out in a hurry that I don't know everything.

    These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers to exercise the brain.

    1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.

    2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

    3. Of all vegetables, excluding herbs, only three can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only three perennial vegetables?

    4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

    5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?

    6. Name two English words that begin with the letters 'dw'.

    7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?

    8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, dried or in any other form except fresh.

    9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter 'S.'


    Joke

    A Pan Am 727 flight, waiting for start clearance in Munich, overheard the following:
    Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
    Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
    Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany . Why must I speak English?"
    Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war!"







    Answers To Quiz:

    1. Some sports in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends: Boxing.

    If the election was a sport it would fit. Two weeks to go and very close.

    2. North American landmark constantly moving backward: Niagara Falls. (The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute.)

    3. Only three common vegetables that can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons: Asparagus, sweet potato and rhubarb.

    4. Fruit with its seeds on the outside: Strawberry. Cashew.

    5. How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It grew inside the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.

    6. English words beginning with 'dw': Dwarf, dwell, dwelling, dweller, dweeb, Dwayne and dwindle.

    7. Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar: Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation mark, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.

    8. The only vegetable or fruit never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form but fresh: Lettuce.

    9. Six or more things you can wear on your feet beginning with 'S:' Shoes, socks, sandals, sneakers, slippers, stirrups, spurs, skis, skates, snowshoes, sandshoes, stockings, stilts, Sun Tan lotion (I have been burned before). Don’t forget smell.

    A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his
    father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.

    His father said he'd make a deal: 'You bring your grades up from a C
    to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then
    we'll talk about the car.'

    The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the
    offer, and they agreed on it.

    After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, you've brought your grades
    up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm
    disappointed you haven't had your hair cut.

    The boy said, 'You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've
    noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair...and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.'

    --- his father replied, 'Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?

    Hi all

    We've just spent the last week at Mt Buller with lots of snow and fun. Our grandson wanted to learn snowboarding ... he was pretty good by the fourth day after two lessons and lots of 'faceplants' in the snow. I'm too old to learn that now and will stick to two long planks to take me down the hills. Karl is a whizz and covers almost every run he can very quickly.

    Near me getting onto the chair lift was a young girl I'm sure was young Jessica with her school but she was chatting with her friends so I didn't talk to her - I'm sure it was her - if not, was her double.

    Now, back to the end of the reno of our tent ... not too much work to be done now, and it is already looking a treat.

    It's good to see you are all in top form with your smiles which I'm trying to catch up on.

    8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.

    A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.

    For a few moments everything was silent in the cab. Then, the still shaking driver said, 'Are you OK? I'm so sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me. 'The badly shaken passenger apologized to the driver and said he didn't realize that a mere tap on the shoulder would startle the driver so badly.


    The driver replied, 'No, no, I'm the one who is sorry, it's entirely my fault. Today is my very first day driving a cab. I've been driving a hearse for the past 25 years."
