Woof woof

An Alsatian went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote:
“Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”
“But,” the dog replied, “that would make no sense at all.”

Bad news

A doctor says to his patient, "I have bad news and worse news".

"Oh dear, what's the bad news?" asks the patient.

The doctor replies: "You only have 24 hours to live."

"That's terrible," said the patient. "How can the news possibly be worse?".

The doctor replies: "I've been trying to contact you since yesterday."

Smooooooch!

Turtle story

A turtle was walking down an alley in New York when he was mugged by a gang of snails. A police detective came to investigate and asked the turtle if he could explain what happened. The turtle looked at the detective with a confused look on his face and replied "I don't know, it all happened so fast."

World's funniest joke

Do you know what the world's funniest joke is? In 2002 scientists carried out a study that involved millions of participants from around the world. The following joke was rated as the funniest...

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services.

He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

And the second place went to the following joke....

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

"I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes" exclaims Watson.

"And what do you deduce from that?"

Watson ponders for a minute.

"Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?"

And Holmes said: “Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent.”

Also the scientists found out that different countries prefer different types of jokes for instance the top joke for the British was...

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."

And for the Australians...

A woman rushed to see her doctor, looking very much worried and all strung out. She rattles off: "Doctor, take a look at me. When I woke up this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair all wiry and frazzled up, my skin was all wrinkled and pasty, my eyes were bloodshot and bugging out, and I had this corpse-like look on my face! What's WRONG with me, Doctor!?"

The doctor looks her over for a couple of minutes, then calmly says: "Well, I can tell you that there ain't nothing wrong with your eyesight."

The Burned Ears

A guy burned both of his ears... so they were asking him at the hospital how it happened.
He said, ''I was ironing my clothing and the phone rang... So, instead of the phone I picked up the iron and burned my ear...''
''But how the heck did you burn the other ear?'' The doctor asked.
''They called back".

Foreign Language Nightmare!

I just got off the phone with an old friend who could, well, really work on his pronunciation of words in the English language. It reminded me of the story I share with you below.

Tendjewberrymud, and enjoy! You'll soon see what I mean by that! -- Alex :)


This meant to be read aloud (for the full effect). By the end of the conversation, you will understand what 'tendjewberrymud' means.

This was nominated for one of the best e-mails of 1999. The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room service at a hotel in Asia which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review.

Room Service (RS): "Morny. Ruin sorbees"

Guest (G): "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."

RS: "Rye..Ruin sorbees..morny! Djewish to odor sunteen??"

RS: "Ow July dee bayhcem...crease?"

RS : "Hokay. An San tos?"

G: "What?"

RS:"San tos. July San tos?"

G: "I don't think so."

RS: "Toes! toes!...why djew Don Juan toes? Ow bow inglish mopping we bother?"

Funny Signs & Notices

These are supposedly actual signs that have been found in and around...

At a car dealership in Maryland to announce new seat belt legislation: "Belt your family. It's the law."

In restaurant: "Open seven days a week and weekends."

On the freeway in Boston during a MAJOR transformation of the streets and bridges, etc: "Rome wasn't built in a day. If it was we would have hired their contractor."

Two signs found on top of one another in a country kitchen several years ago: Restrooms to the left. Please wait for the hostess to seat you.

At a Santa Fe gas station: "We will sell gasoline to anyone in a glass container."

On a display of "I love you only" Valentine cards: "Now available in multi-packs."

In the window of a Kentucky appliance store: "Don't kill your wife. Let our washing machine do the dirty work."

Outside a country shop: "We buy junk and sell antiques."

Sign in a shoe store: "Come in and have a fit."

Sign on used car lot: "Second hand cars in first crash condition."

Sign in a Swiss mountain inn: "Special today -- no ice cream."

Sign at a Budapest zoo: "Please do not feed the animals. If you have any suitable food, give it to the guard on duty."

Sign at a garage in Hertfordshire: "Please do not smoke near the pumps. If your life isn't worth anything - gas is!"

In an office: Would the person who took the step ladder yesterday please bring it back or further steps will be taken

Outside a secondhand shop: We exchange anything – bicycles, washing machines etc, why not bring your wife along and get a wonderful bargain?

What is this world coming to?

The following is a story reported few hours ago by the AFP. This might be out of topic, but this is like one of the stories that would turn up on The Onion (which would have been funny if it did:)). And we wonder why kids are stealing and killing.

...

OTTAWA (AFP) — A Canadian court has lifted a 12-year-old girl's grounding, overturning her father's punishment for disobeying his orders to stay off the Internet, his lawyer said Wednesday.

The girl had taken her father to Quebec Superior Court after he refused to allow her to go on a school trip for chatting on websites he tried to block, and then posting "inappropriate" pictures of herself online using a friend's computer.

The father's lawyer Kim Beaudoin said the disciplinary measures were for the girl's "own protection" and is appealing the ruling.

"She's a child," Beaudoin told AFP. "At her age, children test their limits and it's up to their parents to set boundaries."

"I started an appeal of the decision today to reestablish parental authority, and to ensure that this case doesn't set a precedent," she said. Otherwise, said Beaudoin, "parents are going to be walking on egg shells from now on."

"I think most children respect their parents and would never go so far as to take them to court, but it's clear that some would and we have to ask ourselves how far this will go."

According to court documents, the girl's Internet transgression was just the latest in a string of broken house rules. Even so, Justice Suzanne Tessier found her punishment too severe.

Beaudoin noted the girl used a court-appointed lawyer in her parents' 10-year custody dispute to launch her landmark case against dear old dad.

The original story can be found here. Anyway what would you do if you were her parent?

Incredible Artwork Using Eggs

You thought eggs are just meant for cooking? Apparently, amazing artwork can be created using them. From this point of view, we can see that the artist had built a whole city using eggs.

But in the second picture, we can see that it is more than a city. A bird-eye view of the artwork shows that it is actually a design of a fifty Yuan note.

Isn't it amazing how the artist had used eggs to build such a marvelous piece of artwork. Who would have thought of using eggs to do that. We have seen people using poker cards or dice to do it but definitely not eggs. Now you get to see eggs in a different light.

Creative Fountains





Bright Idea

A man ordered a soup in the restaurant but, as soon as the soup arrived, he had to go to the bathroom.

To make sure that nobody touched his soup while he is away, he wrote on a napkin: "I HAVE SPIT IN THE SOUP".

Once he returned, he found a message on the same napkin: "ME, TOO".

Writing slowly

One day, Saththar was writing something very slowly

Friend asked:" Why are you writing so slowly?"

Saththar: "I'm writing to my 6 year old son, he can't read very fast"

Goal keeper....life saver

Goalkeeper Imran was walking along the street one day when he heard screams from a nearby building. He looked up to see smoke billowing from a fourth-floor window and a woman leaning out holding a baby.

"Help ! Help!" screamed the woman, "I need someone to catch my baby!"

A crowd of onlookers had gathered, but none was confident about catching a baby dropped from such a great height. then the Imran, stepped forward. "I'm the goalkeeper of Maldives National team," he called to the woman. "I'm renonwned for my safe hands. Drop the baby and I will catch it. For me, it will be just like catching a ball."

The woman agreed:"Ok, then. When I drop my baby, treat it as if you were catching a ball."

On a count of three, the woman dropped the baby. Everyone held their breath as the Imran lined himself up to catch it. There was a huge sigh of relief, followed by wild cheering as Imran caught the baby safely in his arms. Then he bounced it twice on the ground and kicked it 50 yards down the street.

Soccer Mania

Congratulations to our Gaumee Team!

Indeed last night's was an extraordinary match, our National Team got their hands on the SAFF championship trophy ... for the first time!!. They beat previous champions and tournament favourite India one goal to nil. I never thought that Muhkthar would be the one to provide the deciding goal. Fantastic!

So to celebrate our win and to celebrate the wonderful game of soccer, I present to you some favourite soccer memoirs.

First up let me share with you the world's best 5 goals. For lack of a better name lets call it the ping pong goals.

We are fortunate that last night's match didn't have to go into extra time or worse yet, penalties. Our team has a terrible record in penalty taking. However, if we do stumble upon it, it would be sensible to be prepared for it. The following videos would provide us with some valuable insight into the secret world of penalty taking

Let us first take a look at how to take the perfect penalty

And that's how you do it. Then again, its nothing compared to the world's best penalty. Unfortunately, the following is not on a regular match, perhaps due to its requirement for perfect delivery. This is a must see, guaranteed to send heads spinning.

And finally lets check out on goal keeping. Its the toughest job on the pitch and rarely receives any recognition, let us hope that Subrata Pal and Imran can learn some lessons from this.
