I don't know how old this is, but I saw this in our local 'pub scene' magazine and it made me laugh.

THE BUFFALO THEORY:

A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers and that's why beer is so good for you!

:D :drinkup:

Okay try this

A German guy approaches a prostitute.

"I vish to buy sex viz you."

"OK," says the girl, "I charge £20 an hour."

"..ist goot, but I must varn you, I am a little kinky."

"No problem," she replies cautiously, "I can do little kinky."

So off they go to the girl's flat, where the German produces four large

bedsprings and a duck caller.

"I vant zat you tie ze springs to each of your hans und knees."

The girl finds this most odd, but complies, fastening the springs as he

had said, to her hands and knees.

"Now you vill get on your hans und knees."

She duly does this, balancing precariously on the springs.

"You vill please to blow zis kwacker as I make love to you."

She finds it odd, but figures it's harmless (and the guy is paying.)

She finds the sex is fantastic, as she is bounced all over the room by

the energetic German, all the time honking on the duck caller.

The climax is the most sensational that she has ever experienced and it

is several minutes before she has enough breath to say,

"That was totally amazing, what do you call that position ?"

"Ah," says the German . . ."zat is ze........ Four-sprung Duck

Technique


And the beer connection? "Kwak" is a nice strong Belgian beer (12%....nice) :cheers:

As Shakespeare says, via the Porter in Mcbeth

"It [beer] promotes the urge, but takes away the performance"

so the lesson is - cover yourself - ALWAYS claim you were on the pop the night before;)

Didn't intend this to become a joke thread, but what the hell!

Did you hear about the amnesiac who walked into a pub and asked the barman "Do I come here often?"

A man walks into a pub and sees an alsatian at a table, sitting in on a game of poker. "Is that dog really playing poker?" he asks the barman. "Yeah, but he's rubbish" the barman replies, "Every time he get's a good hand his tail starts wagging!"

One I came across yesterday:

Asda installed a 'Robo-Doc' machine that for £10.00 and a urine sample would diagnose any condition. When Conrad went with a sore elbow, the computer printout said:
'You have tennis elbow.Soak it in warm water and avoid heavy work for two weeks.'

Impressed, Conrad wondered whether he could fool the machine. He mixed tapwater with dog faeces, urine samples from his wife and daughter and then he masturbated into the mixture. Next day, when he tipped it into the machine the diagnosis was as follows:
'1. Your tapwater is too hard.Use softener.
2. Your dog has ringworm. Give it antibiotics.
3. Your daughter is on cocaine. Get her to rehab.
4. Your wife is expecting twins. Not yours. Get a lawyer.
5. If you keep w**king, your elbow won't get better!

Thank you for shopping with Asda.'

A rather attractive woman goes up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestures alluringly to the barman who comes over immediately. When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring his face close to hers. When he does so, she begins to gently caress his beard which is full and bushy.

"Are you the Manager?" she asks, softly stroking his face with both hands.

"Actually, no," he replies.

"Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him," she asks, running her hands up beyond his beard and into his hair.

"I'm afraid I can't," breathes the barman - clearly aroused. "Is there anything I can do?"

"Yes there is. I need you to give him a message," she continues huskily, popping a couple of fingers into his mouth and allowing himto suck them gently.



"Tell him that there is no toilet paper in the ladies room."

Good one OB.

A&H - I have to say if he could make a few more remarks like that it would be fantastic, always makes my day. No idea of where it came from though :confused:. Every now and then some bizareness on this site winds me up a little and I normally bite my tongue, I have to say people contributing in whatever time they have, in whatever way they contribute, is not one of the things that winds me up however. Although obviously if you could avoid losing your jobs whilst enjoying whatever sites you enjoy that would be good.

Can't let this thread drop off the front page, so time for a bit of good old British observational humour, but don't mention the war, I did once, but I think I got away with it!

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards". They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability. It's not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose".

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Americans meanwhile and as usual are carrying out pre-emptive strikes, on all of their allies, just in case.

And in the southern hemisphere...

New Zealand has also raised its security levels - from "baaa" to "BAAAA!". Due to continuing defense cutbacks (the air force being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some toy boats in the Prime Minister's bath), New Zealand only has one more level of escalation, which is "I hope Australia will come and rescue us".

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, mate". Three more escalation levels remain: "Crikey!', "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and "The barbie is cancelled". So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

If we are in the mood to insult other Nations, how about this one.

The United Nations recently conducted a worldwide survey in which they asked

"Please give your most honest opinion about a solution to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure because,

In Africa they did not know what "food" meant.

In Western Europe they did not know what "shortage" meant.

In Eastern Europe they did not know what "opinion" meant.

In the Middle East they did not know what "solution" meant.

In South America they did not know what "please" meant.

In Asia they did not know what "honest" meant.

And in the USA they did not know what "the rest of world " meant!

A kid comes home from school and says to his mum, "Mum I've got a problem."
She says "Tell me." He tells her that the boys at school are using 2 words he doesn't understand. She asks him what they are.
He says "well, pussy and bitch".
She says "Oh That's no big deal, pussy is a cat like our little Mittens, and bitch is a female dog like our Sandy."
He thanks her and goes to visit dad in the workshop in the basement. He says to his dad, "Dad the boys at school are using words I don't know, and I asked mum and I don't think she told me the exact meaning.
Dad says "Son, I told you never to go to mum with these matters, she cant handle them. What are the words?"
He tells him...pussy and bitch.
Dad says "OK" and pulls a Playboy down from the shelf, takes a marker and circles the pubic area of the centrefold and says, "son, everything inside this circle, is pussy."
"OK dad, so what's a bitch?"
"Son" he says, "everything outside that circle" Is bitch. :whistle:

It's about a brickie who meets up with a posh girl.

He's telling his mates about the first dinner party he goes to with her.

He says "There was an actress there, she's appeared in a few sitcoms and adverts etc"

His mate says "All them actresses have to suck off the producer and the casting director to get the part".

Beer Scooters - This explains a few things :p

How many times have you woken up in the morning after a hard night
drinking and thought 'How on earth did I get home?' As hard as you try, you cannot
piece together your return journey from the pub to your house. The answer
to this puzzle is that you used a Beer Scooter.

The Beer Scooter is a mythical form of transport, owned and leased to the
drunk by Bacchus the Roman god of wine. Bacchus has acquired a large batch
of these magical devices. The Beer Scooter works in the following
fashion:-

The passenger reaches a certain level of drunkenness and the "slurring
gland" begins to give off a pheromone. Bacchus or one of his many
sub-contractors detects this pheromone and sends down a winged Beer
Scooter.

The scooter scoops up the passenger and deposits them in their bedroom via
a Trans-Dimensional Portal. This is not cheap to run, so a large portion of
the passenger's in-pocket cash is taken as payment. This answers the
second question after a night out 'How did I spend so much money?'

Unfortunately, Beer Scooters have a poor safety record and are thought to
be responsible for over 90% of all UDI (Unidentified Drinking Injuries).

An undocumented feature of the beer scooter is the destruction of time
segments during the trip. The nature of Trans-Dimensional Portals dictates
that time will be lost, seemingly unaccounted for.

This answers a third question after a night out 'What the hell happened?'

With good intentions, Bacchus opted for the REMIT (Removal of Embarrassing
Moments In Time) add on, that automatically removes, in descending order,
those parts in time regretted most. Unfortunately one person's REMIT is
not necessarily the REMIT of another and quite often lost time is regained in
discussions over a period of time.

Independent studies have also shown that Beer Goggles often cause the
scooter's navigation system to malfunction thus sending the passenger to
the wrong bedroom, often with horrific consequences. With recent models
including a GPS, Bacchus made an investment in a scooter drive-thru chain
specializing in half eaten kebabs and pizza crusts.

Another question answered!!

For the family man, Beer Scooters come equipped with flowers picked from
other people's garden and Thump-A-Lot boots (Patent Pending). These boots
are designed in such a way that no matter how quietly you tip-toe up the
stairs, you are sure to wake up your other half. Special anti-gravity
springs ensure that you bump into every wall in the house and the CTSGS
(Coffee Table Seeking Guidance System) explains the bruised shins.

The final add-on Bacchus saw fit to invest in for some scooters is the TAS
(Tobacco Absorption System). This explains how one person can apparently
get through 260 Marlboro Lights in a single night.

PS: Don't forget the on-board heater, which allows you to comfortably get
home from the pub in sub-zero temperatures, wearing just a T-shirt.

On a recent weekend away with the girls, Mrs a&h decided to visit a fortune teller of some renown. In the darkened room the mystic peered into the crystal ball and delivered grave news:

"There's no easy way to so this, so I'll just be blunt: Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year."

Visibly shaken, Mrs a&h stared at the old crone's lined face, then at the single flickering candle and then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She simply had to know. She met the fortune teller's gaze, steadied her voice and asked...

"Will I be acquitted?"

Andy Gray's farewell broadcast.


I'm so sad to be leaving a company that I've served for over 20 years and a job that I've loved doing. However, as I'm sacked anyway, I might as well tell you the story about my friend that I was going to tell on air next week.

You see, she got a job as a teacher of physical education to a group of teenage boys. One day she notices a boy in the field standing alone at one end of the field, while all the other kids are running around at the other end having fun.

She takes pity on him and decides to speak to him. "You ok sweetheart?" she says. "Yes Miss" he replies. "'You can go and play with the other kids if you want" she says. "It's best I stay here Miss. " he says. "Why?" she asks. The boy replies:

"Because I'm the ****ing goal keeper"

An elderly man was stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and was asked where he was going at that time of night.

The man replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body."

The officer then asked, "Really? Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"


The man replied, "That would be my wife."

Overheard in The Baum on Saturday night.

3 couples were chatting and drinking together when one of the guys went off to the bar and brought back 6 black sambucca's.

"What's this in aid of ?" said one of the other guys.

"It's our anniversary, so we thought we'd buy you all a black sambucca" said the first guy.

"Oh, thats' great, how long is it?" said guy No. 1.

"4 years and 2 months" came the reply with a big grin. :D

I guess they just wanted a sambucca, but it made me laugh.

It was a warm summerā€™s evening and Nelson Mandela was sitting on the verandah of his country retreat, enjoying a nice cold beer. Suddenly, he was aware of a huge dust cloud, getting closer at a great speed. A large articulated lorry drew up and the Japanese driver quickly jumped out, lowered the tailgate and promptly dropped three crates on the ground. Seeing Mandela, he shouted ā€œSign here. You sign here.ā€ In a mild state of shock, he scribbled on the docket, before the driver disappeared as fast as he came. Feeling rather tired, he decided to sleep on it and sort it all out in the morning.

The next day, he decided to break open one of the crates and discovered it was packed full of car parts. Whilst wondering what to do next, he saw that another dust cloud was approaching at great speed. Sure enough, another articulated lorry squealed to a halt. The Japanese driver once again dropped three crates on the ground and despite his protests that there had been a mistake, Mandela ended up signing the form once more, before the lorry quickly drove off. Looking inside the new crates, he found they were full of exhausts. As he began heading back towards the house, to make some angry phone calls, he became aware of yet another truck hurtling towards his residence.

Once again the driver jumped out and started to unload the crates, but by this time Mandela was ready and had had enough. ā€œ Stop! Please stop. There has been some terrible mix-up, I did NOT order these car parts.ā€ The driver stood still looking totally puzzled. He looked into the old manā€™s eyes and sheepishly asked ā€œWhat, you no Nissan main dealer?ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..ā€

A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop.

The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK old fart, time for you to retire."

The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?"

The young rooster says, "Beat it: You are washed up and am taking over."

The old rooster says, "I tell you what, young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop."

The young rooster laughs. "You know you don't stand a chance old man. So, just to be fair I will give you a head start."

The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He is already about 5 inches behind the old rooster and gaining fast.

The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by. He grabs his shotgun and - BOOM - He blows the young rooster to bits.

The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, "Darn!!!... third gay rooster I bought this month."


Moral of this story....Don't mess with the OLD FARTS - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.

They begin to talk and after a couple of glasses of wine gradually loosen up, bringing each other up to date. The conversation covers their husbands, children, jobs, etc. and finally gets around to their sex lives.

Claire says "It's OK. We still make love every week, but it's not particularly exciting. How's yours?"
Diane replies "It's fantastic, ever since we got into S&M."

Joshua Tetley had died and his old friends John and Sam Smith were going to his funeral. So, as they had a little time before the event John suggested that they should have a pint or two to celebrate Joshua's memory.

"There's a Sam Smith's house over the road", suggested John, why don't we have a pint there?"

"Oh no", said Sam, "much better that we have a couple in the John Smith's house next door".

And so they did.

When they were walking towards the church, John remarked to Sam, "As we've been rivals for so long, I really appreciated your suggesting one of my pubs for a drink".

"Well, remarked Sam, "we both have a great deal of respect for old Joshua and it wouldn't do, would it, for us to go to his funeral smelling of beer".

Q: What do you call a lazy goat?

A: BILLY IDOL!


While on the subject of goats here's an undocumented anecdote from the distant path. The word is that the Late Keith Moon who was the drummer with the Who and something of a clown dubbed the late Robin Gibb who was one of the Bee Gees "The Singing Goat" due to his vibrato style of singing.

While on the subject of goats here's an undocumented anecdote from the distant path. The word is that the Late Keith Moon who was the drummer with the Who and something of a clown dubbed the late Robin Gibb who was one of the Bee Gees "The Singing Goat" due to his vibrato style of singing. I think ha also had a wispy beard!

Heard a Doctor on TV say to get through the boredom of self isolation we should finish things we start and thus have more calm in our lives.

I looked through the house to find all the things i've started but hadn't finished... so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiumun srciptuns, an a box a chocletz. Yu haf no idr how feckin fablus I feel rite now. :p

Oh dear did you really want to start that, try this lot (apologies for the low quality of some)

I went to the chemist and asked "What gets rid of the Corona virus?"
The chemist said "Ammonia cleaner"
I said "I'm sorry, I thought you worked here"

This morning at the Post Office, while I was in the line, two people wearing masks came in.
TOTAL PANIC!
Then they said "This is a robbery" and we all calmed down.


Due to the potential problems caused by panic buying,
some supermarkets have imposed limits until further notice.

Asda:- 2 hand sanitisers and a 4 pack of toilet roll
Tesco:- 1 hand sanitiser, 500g of rice and a 4 pack of toilet roll
Aldi:- 1 pink sports bra, 1 MIG welder and 1 spare wheel for a barrow


When I was younger, the only time we started panic buying, was when the landlord shouted "last orders"

I saw a woman using half a bra as a makeshift face mask, nice to see some people are keeping abreast of the situation.

I used to cough to disguise my farts - now I fart to disguise my coughs.

There's a rumour going around that President Trump excluded Europeans because he thinks germs come from Germany!

Apparently Germans have been panic buying sausage and cheese... itā€™s the wurst kƤse scenario.

Just been to Tesco. I asked a checkout operator if there was any toilet paper, and was told no. That walk back to the toilets with my trousers and pants round my ankles is something I never want to do again.

If this is how the public react to the Covid-19 virus, it's no surprise that the government wouldn't tell us about aliens.

I went into my supermarket yesterday and saw one chap with his trolley filled to the brim with mini pork pies, bite sized sausages, cherry tomatoes, paper plates and plastic cutlery.
I realized he must have been picnic buying.

Nail salons closed, tanning salons closed, hair salons closed, waxing salons closed....

A plane has 5 passengers on board, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Angela Merkel, The Pope and a 10 year old schoolboy. The plane is about to crash and there are only 4 parachutes.
Trump says ā€œI need one, Iā€™m the smartest man in the USA and Iā€™m needed to sort out the problems of the worldā€. He grabs one and jumps.
Boris says ā€œIā€™m needed to sort out Britainā€, he grabs one and jumps.
The Pope says ā€œThe Catholic Church needs meā€, he grabs one and jumps.
Angela says to the 10 year old ā€œYou have the last parachute. Iā€™ve lived my life, youā€™re only just startingā€.
The 10 year old replies ā€œDonā€™t worry there are two parachutes left. The smartest man in the USA took my school bagā€.

I cannot understand why Timpsons have closed for business when we need all the key workers we can get!

WARNING - NOT A PC JOKE :D

WISE DOCTOR

A woman goes to the Doctor, worried about her husband's temper.
The Doctor asks: "What's the problem?

The woman says: "Doctor, I don't know what to do. Every day my husband seems to lose his temper for no reason. It scares me."

The Doctor says: "I have a cure for that. When it seems that your husband is getting angry, just take a glass of water and start swishing it in your mouth.
Just swish and swish, but don't swallow it until he either leaves the room or goes to bed and is asleep."

Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn.

The woman says: "Doctor that was a brilliant idea!
Every time my husband started losing it, I swished with water. I swished and swished, and he calmed right down!
How does a glass of water do that?"

The Doctor says: "The water itself does nothing. It's keeping your mouth shut that does the trick.":evilgrin:

WARNING - A RC JOKE :D

Noted the other day, from the pen of the late, great Barry Cryer:

ā€œThereā€™s a priest in the confessional box and someone comes in and sits down behind the screen.

After a couple of minutes the person still hasnā€™t said anything so the priest knocks on the side of the confessional.

Thereā€™s no response, so a minute later he knocks again and a blokeā€™s voice says ā€˜You can knock all you like, thereā€™s no paper in here either.ā€™ā€

Ah there's muggins here thinking that hand pumps produced the pressure to bring beer to bar without assistance. So the barman probably wasn't lying last night when he told me three minutes before last orders that real ale was off due to lack of gas delivery.

Boyle's Law is about the inverse relationship between volume and pressure in gasses isn't it?

Then there's Dalton's Law, which is about partial pressures in gasses.

And of course Cole's Law, which is something to do with cabbage, vinaigrette and mayonnaise.

Me too. So, that East European lass who told me many years back that the ale was unavailable with the now famous phrase "iz gaz...", was probably right!!
Didn't seem like a pub that would have an excessive draw from the cellar though.

Thanks Mick for the link to the item about the Flojet pump, which I don't think I've heard of before.

I thought this would be something to do with the use of the cask breather? It puts a blanket of carbon dioxide on top of the remaining beer in the cask, so that when the hand pump operates and pulls the beer up the pipe to your glass, the volume of the cask vacated by the beer is filled with CO2 instead of air. If the CO2 cylinder is empty, the beer will not rise up the pipe.


I thought this thread was for jokes - I was waiting for the punch line. :)
