The Fabulous Friday Funnies

One night a fellow drove his secretary home after she had imbibed a little too much at an office reception. Although this was an innocent gesture, he decided not to mention it to his wife, who tended to get jealous easily.

The next night the man and his wife were driving to a rest- aurant. Suddenly he looked down and spotted a high-heel shoe half hidden under the passenger seat. Not wanting to be conspicuous, he waited until his wife was looking out her window before he scooped up the shoe and tossed it out of the car.

With a sigh of relief, he pulled into the restaurant parking lot. That’s when he noticed his wife squirming around in her seat. “Honey,” she asked, “have you seen my other shoe?”


President Bush is rehearsing his speech for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

He begins his remarks with, “Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!”

Immediately his speech writer rushes over to the lectern and whispers in the president’s ear, “Mr. President, those are the Olympic rings. Your speech is underneath.”


A Somalian arrives in Melbourne as a new immigrant to Australia. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, “Thank you Mr. Australian, for letting me in this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and free education!” The passerby says, “You are mistaken, I am a New Zealander.” The man goes on and encounters another passerby. ” Thank you for having such beautiful country here in Australia!”

The person says, “I not Australian, I Vietnamese.” The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says, “Thank you for the wonderful Australia!” That person puts up his hand and says, “I am from Middle East, I am not Australian!” He finally sees a nice lady and asks, “Are you an Australian?” She says, “No, I am from Africa!”

Puzzled, he asks her, “Where are all the Australians?” The African lady checks her watch and says….”Probably at the PUB.”


Jill was discussing the various aspects and possible outcome of the Insurance policy with the man at the Insurance Agency.

During the discussion, she asked, “Suppose I take the life insurance for my husband today and tomorrow he dies? What will I get?”

The agent eyed her suspiciously and replied, “Probably a life sentence.”


I wish I’d thought of this… At a high school in Montana a group of high schoolers played a prank on the school. They let three goats loose in the school. Before they let them go they painted numbers on the sides of the goats: 1,2, 4.

Local school administrators spent most of the day looking for #3.


A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller’s tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down.

“Ah….” said the woman as she gazed into her crystal ball.

“I see you are the father of two children.”

“Hah, what a scam you fortune tellers are,” said the man scornfully. “I’m the father of three children.”

The woman grinned and said, “That’s what YOU think…”


The chef at a family-run restaurant had broken her leg and came into our insurance office to file a disability claim. As I scanned the claim form, I did a double take. Under “Reason unable to work,” she wrote: “Can’t stand to cook.”


A distraught young man made an appointment with a psychiatrist.

“I was out of town on business,” he told the doctor,” and I wired my wife that I would be coming home on Tuesday, instead of Wednesday. When I got in I went straight home as fast as I could, and when I got there I found her in bed with my best friend!”

The man then broke down into uncontrollable tears.

The doctor considered the problem for a couple of moments then said, “Maybe she never got your telegram.”


Two blondes were walking down the road and the first blonde says, “Look at that dog with one eye!”

The other blonde covers one of her eyes and says, “Where?”


Proudly showing off his newly-leased downtown apartment to a couple of friends late one night, a drunk Samoan led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong hanging on the wall.

“What’s that big brass gong for ?” one of the friend’s asked.

“Issss nod a gong. Issss a talking Maori clock” he drunkenly replied.

“A talking Maori clock – seriously ?” “Yup.” “Hmmm (hic).” “How’s it work ?” the second friend asked, squinting at it. “Just watch” he said.

He picked up a hammer, gave the gong an ‘ear-shattering bash’ and stepped back. His three mates stood looking at one another for a moment in astounded silence.

Suddenly, a Maori voice from the other side of the wall screamed, “For god sake, you stupid coconut . It’s ten past three in the b….y morning !!!”


I was playing darts while watching darts on the TV the other day. One of the competitors finished on a bulls eye. My three and a half year old daughter said “get a blacks eye daddy” (the bulls eye on my dart board is black)I threw three darts, all into the 25. My daughter said “Oh, your not as good as the man on TV”. Although quite chuffed with hitting 3 x 25′s, I must have shown a look for disappointment on my face at her comment. She quickly stated “your not as good as the man on TV but I still love you daddy”. How’s that for true empathy?


A famous Viking explorer returned home from a voyage and found his name missing from the town register. His wife insisted on complaining to the local civic official who apologized profusely saying, “I must have taken Leif off my census.”


An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of Church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, “Stop! Acts 2:38! ” (Repent and be baptised, in the name of J ebsus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, “Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.”

“Scripture?” replied the burglar. “She said she had an Axe and Two 38′s!”


A bus on a busy street in New York City strikes a man. He is lying near death on the sidewalk as a crowd of spectators gathers around. “A priest. Somebody get me a priest!” the man gasps. A policeman checks the crowd – “A PRIEST, PLEASE!” the dying man says again.

Then out of the crowd steps a little old Jewish man of at least eighty years of age. “Mr. Policeman,” says the man, “I’m not a priest. I’m not even a Catholic. But for fifty years now I’m living behind St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church on First Avenue, and every night I’m listening to the Catholic litany. Maybe I can be of some comfort to this man.”

The policeman agreed and brought the octogenarian over to where the dying man lay. He kneels down, leans over the injured and says in a solemn voice:

“B-4. I-19. N-38. G-54. O-72…”

The Fabulous Friday Funnies are back for 2008!

True story…

I was just reading the local paper. The article I was looking at was titled “Unwanted dogs dumped”. It was written by David Catt!


A lady is having a bad day at the roulette tables in Vegas. She’s down to her last $50. Exasperated, she exclaims, “What rotten luck I’ve had today! What in the world should I do now?”

A man standing next to her suggests, “I don’t know… why don’t you play your age?”

He walks away. Moments later, his attention is grabbed by a great commotion at the roulette table. Maybe she won! He rushes back to the table and pushes his way through the crowd. The lady is lying limp on the floor, with the table operator kneeling over her. The man is stunned. He asks, “What happened? Is she all right?”

The operator replies, “I don’t know. She put all her money on 29, and 36 came up. Then she just fainted!”


The trouble with my wife is that she has a weight problem. Every time I want s e x, she says, “Wait.” —Rodney Dangerfield


A young blonde woman was driving through the Florida Everglades while on vacation. She wanted to take home a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.

After becoming very frustrated with the attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the young Blonde declared, “Well then, maybe I’ll just go out and catch my own alligator and get a pair of shoes for free!”

The shopkeeper said with a sly smile, “Well little lady, why don’t you go on and give it a try?” The blonde headed off to the swamp, determined to catch an alligator. Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he spots the same young woman standing waist deep in the murky water, shotgun in hand.

As he brings his car to a stop, he sees a huge 9-foot gator swimming rapidly toward her. With lightning reflexes, the Blonde takes aim, shoots the creature and hauls it up onto the slippery bank. Nearby were 7 more dead gators, all lying belly up.

The shopkeeper stood on the bank, watching in silent amazement. The blonde struggles mightily and manages to flip the gator onto its back. Rolling her eyes heavenward, she screams in frustration,

“DAMNIT this one is barefoot too!!


“The meek shall inherit the earth, but not the mineral rights.” —John Paul Getty


I found this grouse Aussie Summer poem and thought it might be a comfort to you.

It was to me and it’s very well written; I hope you enjoy it because it’s the best piece of English literature I’ve seen in quite a while….

‘An Aussie Summer ‘ a poem by Abigail Elizabeth McIntyre F- _k, It’s HOT !


“According to a new survey, 11 percent of all Americans be- tween the ages of 18 and 24 could not find the United States on a map of the world. How pathetic is that? President Bush commented on this today, he said, ‘Why do we need our kids to find the U.S. on a map? They’re already here.’” -Jay Leno


My broker called me this morning and said, “Remember that stock we bought and I said you’d be able to retire at age 65?”

“Yes, I remember,” I said.

“Well,” my broker continued, “your retirement age is now 108.”


The tax advisor had just read the story of Cinderella to his four-year-old daughter for the first time. The little girl was fascinated by the story, especially the part where the pumpkin turns into a golden coach.

Suddenly she piped up, “Daddy, when the pumpkin turned into a golden coach, would that be classed as income or a long- term capital gain?”


After having dug to a depth of 10 metres last year, Scottish Archaeologists 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, in the weeks that followed English scientists dug to a depth of 20 metres, and shortly after, headlines in the UK 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.”

One week later, “The Kerryman,” a southwest Irish newsletter, reported the following: “After digging as deep as 30 metres 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.”


A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they were on the way to church service, ‘And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?’ One bright little girl replied, ‘Because some people are sleeping.’


A father asked his 10-year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees. “I don’t want to know,” the child said, bursting into tears. “Promise me you won’t tell me.” Confused, the father asked what was wrong.

The boy sobbed, “When I was six, I got the ‘There’s no Easter Bunny’ speech. At seven, I got the ‘There’s no Tooth Fairy’ speech. When I was eight, you hit me with the ‘There’s no Santa’ speech.

If you’re going to tell me that grown-ups don’t really get laid, I’ll have nothing left to live for.”


A woman goes into a sporting goods store to buy a rifle. “It’s for my husband,” she tells the clerk.

“Did he tell you what gauge to get?” asked the clerk.

“Are you kidding?” she says. “He doesn’t even know that I’m going to shoot him!”


My wife came home from the doctor’s the other day and told me the doctor said she couldn’t make love. I’ve known this for years, but I want to know how he found out.


A man was placed in intensive care, needles stuck everywhere, tubes running over his disease-ridden body like a spider’s web, nearly comatose. A week later, a second man was put in the same room in very nearly the same condition.

Both men lay there, near death, machines pinging, oxygen tubes puffing, monitors ding-donging, lights flashing. After a few days, one of the men summoned the strength to weakly raise his hand and catch the other man’s attention. He pointed to himself and wheezed out, “Jim………..my.”

The other man weakly pointed to himself and said, “Paddy.”

This act tired them both out so badly it was another day or two before they had the strength to try again. The first man weakly pointed to himself and murmured in almost inaudible tones, “Scottish.”

The second man replied, “Irish.”

Again the fatigue set in and they both fell fast asleep. In another couple of days they were at it again.

Jim took several deep breaths, then summoned up the strength to cough out, “Glasgow.”

Paddy whispered back, “Dublin.”

This time they were both a little stronger and could continue.

“Cancer”, said Jim.

“…Sagittarius,” replied Paddy.

Jasons’ 36th Birthday

Happy Birthday Jason,

Kim, Joshua and I went over to Taupo tonight to celebrate my brothers 36th birthday. We went out for dinner at a place called ‘On tap’ which may not have been too baby friendly, as they didn’t have a high chair. But not to worry as Jason had checked that prior to us leaving Rotorua, so we brought our own along.
We had an awesome evening and enjoyed our lovely steak dinners. Jason and I both had the 1kg rump steak, at only $36 NZ I thought that was a bargain. As a Rotorua restaurant has a 1kg steak available for around $50-$60 NZ. It took me around 25 mins to complete mine and just took just over 30, so the hare won against the tortoise this time…
If you don’t believe me, just check out the photos attached.
