Been a bit tense in here lately, but we're all guitar buddies so.......

 

Three old ladies were sitting side by side in their retirement home reminiscing. The first lady recalled shopping at the green grocers and demonstrated with her hands, the length and thickness of a cucumber she could buy for a penny.

 

The second old lady nodded, adding that onions used to be much bigger and cheaper also, and demonstrated the size of two big onions she could buy for a penny a piece.

 

The third old lady remarked,

"I can't hear a word you're saying, but I remember the guy you're talking about.

During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"

"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup.."

"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug.

An old man lay sprawled across three entire seats at a symphony concert.

When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the old man,

"Sorry sir, but you're only allowed one seat."The old man didn't budge.

 

The usher became more impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there,

I'm going to have to call the manager."Once again, the old man just muttered and did nothing.

The usher marched briskly back up the aisle, and in a moment he returned with the manager.

Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the old disheveled man, but with no success.

Finally, they summoned the police. The officer surveyed the situation briefly then asked,

"All right buddy, what's your name?""Bob," the old man moaned."Where you from, Bob?",

asked the police officer. With a terrible strain in his voice, and without moving, Bob replied; "The balcony."

Two really drunk friends are sitting in their usual watering hole when one of them looks across the bar and says, "Hey Bob, look at those two nasty old drunks over there! They're fat, ugly slobs. If you and I don't stop drinking, that'll be us one day!"

 

Bob says, "You idiot! That's a mirror!"

So there was this man in Bulgaria who drove a train for a living. He loved his job, driving a train had been his dream ever since he was a child. He loved to make the train go as fast as possible. Unfortunately, one day he was a little too reckless and caused a crash. He made it out, but a single person died. Well, needless to say, he went to court over this incident. He was found guilty, and was sentenced to death by electrocution. When the day of the execution came, he requested a single banana as his last meal. After eating the banana, he was strapped into the electric chair. The switch was flown, sparks flew and smoke filled the air- but nothing happened. The man was perfectly fine. Well, at the time, there was an old Bulgarian law that said a failed execution was a sign of divine intervention, so the man was allowed to go free. And somehow, he managed to get his old job back driving the train. Having not learned his lesson at all, he went right back to driving the train with reckless abandon. Once again, he caused a train to crash, this time killing two people. The trial went much the same as the first, resulting in a sentence of execution. For his final meal, the man requested two bananas. After eating the bananas, he was strapped into the electric chair. The switch was thrown, sparks flew, smoke filled the room- and the man was once again unharmed. Well, this of course meant that he was free to go. And once again, he somehow manages to get his old job back. To what should have been the surprise of no one, he crashed yet another train and killed three people. And so he once again found himself being sentenced to death. On the day of his execution, he requested his final meal- three bananas. "You know what? No," said the executioner. "I've had it with you and your stupid bananas and walking out of here unharmed. I'm not giving you a thing to eat, we're strapping you in and doing this now." Well, it was against protocol, but the man was strapped in to the electric chair without a last meal. The switch was pulled, sparks flew, smoke filled the room- and the man was still unharmed. The executioner was speechless. The man looked at the executioner and said "Oh, the bananas had nothing to do with it. I'm just a bad conductor."

Fergus stumbled into the pub, and he was all beat to $#it.

 

Bartender exclaimed, "Fergus, yer all beat to $#it, laddie! Who did this to ye?"

 

Fergus responded, "McGillicuddy. McGillicuddy did this to me."

 

"McGillicuddy?? He's but a wee pip-squeak! Surely he had something in his hand then?"

 

"Aye. He had a shovel in his hand!"

 

"Well then, boyo. Didn't you have anything in yer hand then??"

 

"Aye. I had Mrs McGillicuddy's breast in me hand. And a thing of beauty it was too, but no use to me in a fight!"

There’s 2 types of countries....

 

Those that use the metric system.

 

 

 

And those that have been to the moon.....

 

 

I hate to tell you, but NASA uses the metric system, as does the international space station.

 

Don't be afraid of it. It won't hurt you, and it has an internal logic that is unmatched by the Imperial system. My technical life has been run exclusively in the metric system for more than 25 years, but I like to think of myself as bi-lingual when it comes to units of measurement.

 

Our pal Jinder, on the other hand, gives his height in feet and inches, and his weight in stones. The English are a strange lot...

😂

 

Jinder guves his age away slightly . He’s roughly my vintage where we were taught in metric at school but no one outside school used it !

 

The older generation of grocers still sold potatoes in lbs etc

Builders would do things as they always did in feet and inches etc

 

If I hear someone is 165cm tall I have to think about it , but 5’5’’ is immediate

 

 

And don’t start on the ‘we’ve been to the moon Bs’

Everyone knows it was a Kubrick movie .

I work at NASA and it was filmed just a 1/4 mile away in the large hanger we have here. And Aliens are running amok.

 

 

What happened to the silver jump suits we were all supposed to wearing by 2010? Flying car? Or the ‘Auto Get Ready For Work’ machine like George Jetson...instead of shower, teeth, etc..he walked in th bubble and there were ‘diddledeedeedup’ noises and he came out clean pressed and dressed!

And...living in a bubble over the ocean?

And...working from home on a computer....oh, ok...I do that!

 

But I do realise we can’t live on Mars because Matt Damon had a problem making it home...

 

[biggrin]

 

 

But is Paul comng back?

Did Yoko ever tour to support an album ?

 

 

I meant the alien from the movie ‘Paul’...said he would return......

 

 

Not Macca coming back as Superman, but you know it goes with the thread. [glare]

 

 

But in the movie ‘Life’ the gut splitting alien made it to Earth by swapping escape pods with the humans! Tricky. Hope the big Alien from the Aliens movies didn’t think of that - that is the Queen of stomach splitters! [mellow] Wonder if Ridley is making the next instalment of the Alien? The Better Half is tough but hid her head in the cushions in parts of the last one! (Alien Covenant). I watched it again as I bought the thing from iTunes and stopped it in the same place........

 

Jeff Bridges in Starman is easier to watch!
