Newsletter and jokes: 27 March 2015

Hi all

Holiday time again... so there's a mixed bag for your enjoyment. Oddly 
enough most of the releases are aimed at older people rather than kiddies.

This week is a short week due to Easter next weekend, so the new movies
will be opening next Thursday, including episode 7 of the Fast & Furious
franchise. If you can't wait till then, there's previews all over on 
Wednesday night ... see the Previews page and remember to book.

As a butcher is shooing a dog from his shop, he sees a £10 and a note in
his mouth, reading: "10 lamb chops, please."

Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in the dog's mouth, and
quickly closes the shop. He follows the dog and watches him wait for a
green light, look both ways, and trot across the road to a bus-stop. The
dog checks the timetable and sits on the bench. When a bus arrives, he
walks around to the front and looks at the number, then boards the bus.

The butcher follows, dumbstruck. As the bus travels out into the suburbs,
the dog takes in the scenery. After a while he stands on his back paws to
push the "stop" bell, and then the butcher follows him off. 

The dog runs up to a house and drops his bag on the step. He barks 
repeatedly. No answer. He goes back down the path, takes a big run, and 
throws himself - Whap! against the door. He does this again & again. 

No answer. So he jumps on a wall, walks around the garden, barks repeatedly 
at a window, jumps off, and waits at the front door.

Eventually, a small guy opens it and starts cursing and shouting at the
dog. 

The butcher runs up screams at the guy: "What are you doing? This dog's a 
genius!"

The owner responds, "Genius, you wish! It's the second time this week he's
forgotten his key."

An old man lay sprawled across three entire seats in the movie theatre.

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?"

"Fred," the old man moaned. "Where you from, Fred?" asked the police 
officer. 

With a terrible grunt in his voice, and without moving, Fred replied... ...
"The balcony."

Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he
saw him. He'd never been to church in his life.

After Mass, the priest caught up with him and said, "Murphy, I am so glad
ya decided to come to Mass. What made ya come?"

Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father. A while back, I misplaced
me hat and I really, really love that hat.. I know that McGlynn had a hat
just like mine and I knew he came to church every Sunday. I also knew that
he had to take off his hat during Mass and figured he would leave it in the
back of church. So, I was going to leave after Communion and steal
McGlynn's hat."

The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that ya didn't steal McGlynn's
hat. What changed your mind?"

Murphy replied, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I
decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all."

With a tear in his eye the priest gave Murphy a big smile and said; "After
I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you would rather do
without that hat than burn in Hell?"

Murphy slowly shook his head. "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou
Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat."

A zero premium, no deductible Long Term Health Plan.

Say you are an older senior citizen, and can no longer take care of
yourself, but the government says there is no Nursing Home care available
for you. So, what do you do? You opt for Medicare Part G.

The plan gives anyone 75 or older a gun (Part G) and one bullet. You are
allowed to shoot one worthless politician. This means you will be sent to
prison for the rest of your life, where you will receive three meals a day,
a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning, cable TV, a
library, and all the health care you need. Need new teeth? No problem. Need
glasses? That's great. Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs,
s*x change, or heart? They are all covered.

And, who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told
you, they can't afford for you to go into a nursing home. And you will get
rid of a useless politicians while you are at it. And now, because you are
a prisoner, you don't have to pay any more income taxes.

Is this a great country or what?

An elderly couple was having dinner one evening when the husband reached
across the table, took his wife's hand in his and said,
"Martha ... soon we will be married 50 years, and there's something I have
to know. In all of these 50 years have you ever been unfaithful to me?"

Martha replied, "Well Henry, I have to be honest with you. Yes, I've been
unfaithful to you three times during these 50 years, but always for a good
reason."

Henry was obviously hurt by his wife's confession, but said, "I never
suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by good reasons?"

Martha said, "The first time was shortly after we were married, and we were
about to lose our little house, because we couldn't pay the mortgage. Do
you remember that one evening I went to see the banker, and the next day
he notified you that the loan would be extended?"

Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, "I can forgive you for
that. You saved our home. But, what about the second time?"

Martha asked, "And do you remember when you were so sick, but we didn't
have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed?
Well, I went to see your doctor one night, and, if you recall, he did the
surgery at no charge."

"I recall that," said Henry "and, you did it to save my life. So, of
course, I can forgive you for that. Now, tell me about the third time."

"Alright," Martha said, "do you remember when you ran for president of your
golf association and, you needed 73 more votes?"

Cinderella is now 95 years old.

After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince, she happily sits upon her
rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a cat
named Bob for companionship.

One sunny afternoon out of nowhere, appeared the fairy godmother.

Cinderella said, "Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after all these
years"?

The fairy godmother replied, "Cinderella, you have lived an exemplary life
since I last saw you. Is there anything for which your heart still
yearns?"

Cinderella was taken aback, overjoyed, and after some thoughtful
consideration, she uttered her first wish: "The prince was wonderful, but
not much of an investor. I'm living hand to mouth on my disability checks,
and I wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension.

Instantly her rocking chair turned into solid gold.

Cinderella said, "Ooh, thank you, Fairy Godmother"

The fairy godmother replied, "It is the least that I can do. What do you
want for your second wish?"

Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said, "I wish I were young
and full of the beauty and youth I once had"

At once, her wish became reality, and her beautiful young visage returned.
Cinderella felt stirrings inside of her that had been dormant for years.

And then the fairy godmother spoke once more: "You have one more wish; what
shall it be?"

Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the corner and says, "I wish
for you to transform Bob, my old cat, into a kind and handsome young man."

Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his biological
make-up that, when he stood before her, he was a man so beautiful the likes
of him neither she nor the world had ever seen.

The fairy godmother said, "Congratulations, Cinderella, enjoy your new
life."

With a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, the fairy godmother was
gone as suddenly as she appeared.

For a few eerie moments, Bob and Cinderella looked into each other's eyes.
Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most beautiful,
stunningly perfect man she had ever seen.

Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her rocking
chair, & held her close in his young muscular arms. He leaned in close,
blowing her golden hair with his warm breath as he whispered ... "Bet
you're sorry you neutered me."
