In Hartlepool, Cleveland, England road workers painted double yellow lines
over a hedgehog because these idle toads could not be bothered to move the
corpse before applying the yellow liner to this road's curb side.
Florist Allison Hart said she was shocked to see the dead animal with
lines on its back and sent a photograph of it to media outlets.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw the hedgehog - it's disgraceful," said
Ms Hart, who has been showing the photograph to customers in her store.
"All they had to do is kick it to one side. It's shocking really," Ms Hart
said.
As usual, a council jobsworth dug themselves in deeper by, saying the
incident was "the only one reported during the massive project".
Wouldn't it have been better to say, 'fair enough' we made a mistake.
A big steel company was feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new
head of human resources. The new boss was determined to rid the company of
all slackers.
On a tour of the facilities, the HR supremo noticed a guy leaning against
a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know
that he meant business. He asked the guy, "How much money do you make
a week?"
A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, "I make $500 a
week. Why?"
The Human Resources boss said, "Wait right here." He walked back to his
office, came back in two minutes, and handed the guy $2,000 in cash and
said, "Here's four weeks' pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back."
Feeling pretty good about himself, the new boss looked around the room
and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that slacker did here?"
From across the room a voice said, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."

Let the flagpole take the strain!

Two elderly guests, Martin and Chris, attended a party given by a
business associate to mark his daughter's engagement to a man she had been
living with for three years, were grumbling about the decline in moral
standards.
'All these people sleeping together before they're married,' Martin
muttered indignantly. 'I didn't sleep with my wife before we were married.
Did you?'
'I don't know,' answered Chris thoughtfully. 'What was her maiden
name?'
More Senior Moment Snippets
There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for
it. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles
don't hurt
I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones
that everyone has clipped on. I can't afford one so I'm wearing my garage
door opener.
I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease ... that's when your chest
is falling into your drawers.
Ralph was a smooth operator, and at Southwick Golf Club's annual dance he
attached himself to the prettiest lady golfer in the room and began boasting
to her.

'Well, where do you want me to start, Ralph?' Came her quick
response.
What were the names of the two Mexican fire fighting brothers? Hose [José] A
and Hose B.
Why doesn't Mexico have a Olympic team? Because every Mexican that can
run, jump, and swim is already across the border in the USA.
Did you hear about the Mexican who threw his wife over a cliff? When the
police officer asked him why he'd done it he said, 'Tequila! Tequila!'
What kind of cans are there in Mexico? Mexicans.
Husband-Dragging Contest
You can't keep a good woman down, say Will and Guy.
We are delighted to inform you that as well as the traditional Wife
Carrying Championships in Singleton, NSW, Australia now the Countryfest
includes the first joint Wife Carrying and Husband Dragging Contest.
We have been told by our Aussie mate, Shane, that the men must act as a
dead weight and be pulled by their partner from a makeshift bar "depicting a
traditional Aussie weekend where the female drags her man out of the pub."
Only in Britain......do we use the word "politics" to
describe the process so well. "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and
"tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures".
During Britain's "brain drain," not a single politician
left the country.
Statesmen tell you what is true even though it may be
unpopular. Politicians will tell you what is popular, even though it may
be untrue.
Political T.V. commercials prove one thing: some
candidates can tell all their good points and qualifications in just 30
seconds.
Nobody can fix the economy. Nobody can
be trusted with their finger on the button. Nobody's perfect. Vote for Nobody.

O'Toole replies
with a wide grin, 'I've put the dog in our garden so I did, now let's
see how they like it.'

fitted me if I could have got into it, so it would.'
Ireland's Worst Driver - Mr Prawo Jazdy
This is one of the funniest examples of police humour that Will and Guy
have encountered for many a year.
To be sure, your man Prawo Jazdy is a slippery fellow. He's wanted
for 50 different driving offences all over Ireland. Now, Prawo is clever
because every time we book him, his driving licence has a different address.
Every man in the *Garda has a different theory about how this 'Scarlet
Pimpernel' escapes the clutches of the law. Finally, the penny
dropped, Prawo Jardy is not a Hungarian name, but the Polish words for
Driving Licence.
The Garda had caught 53 different Polish drivers, but thought they were
dealing with the same man. Naturally, the Polish community in Ireland are having a good
laugh about Mr Prawo Jazdy.
*Garda are the Irish Police force.
Floor Collapses During Weight Watchers' Weigh-in
Just after Christmas 2009 19 members of Weight Watchers in Växjö, Sweden
lined up for their weigh in when they heard a bang as the floor came away
from the walls of their meeting room.
"We suddenly heard a huge thud – we almost thought it was an earthquake
and everything flew up in the air. The floor collapsed in one corner of the
room and along the walls" one of those present told the Smålandsposten
newspaper.
As the Weight Watchers abandoned the room so other parts of the floor
started to give way. Undaunted as no-one was injured, the club member
continued their weigh-in in the hallway.

Nothing Changes in Politics
The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public
debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and
controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest
Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on
public assistance. - Cicero - 55 BC.

Mechanic v Doctor Story
Allan, a mechanic, was removing a cylinder head from a Harley-Davidson motorbike, when he spotted a world-famous heart surgeon in his garage. The heart surgeon was waiting for the
service manager to come and take a look at his bike.
Allan shouted across the garage, 'Hey Doc can I ask you a question?' The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to Allan. Allan straightened up,
wiped his hands on a rag and asked, 'So Doc, look at this engine. I also can open hearts, take valves out, fix'em, put in new parts and when I finish this will work just like a new one. So how come I work
for a pittance and you get the really big money, when you and I are doing basically the same work?'
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over and whispered in Allan's ear, 'Try doing it with the engine
running.'
