Newsletter and jokes: 6 May 2016

Hi all

Well it's Mother's Day on Sunday so we have the latest Garry Marshall
holiday-themed tie-in movie to celebrate. Unfortunately it's not exactly
in Pretty Woman or even The Princess Diaries class, judging by the reviews.

The big release is the adult comedy Bad Neighbours 2, which in contrast 
(and unexpectedly) actually got some decent reviews.

Also up is a new Afrikaans love triangle, a faith-based drama, and some 
smaller releases for niche markets.

There are a few previews next Thursday for the upcoming Afrikaans film 
Uitvlucht, see the Previews page and remember to book.

No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference
between these two words.  In a recent linguistic competition held in London
and attended by, supposedly, the best in the world, Samdar Balgobin, a
Guyanese man, was the clear winner with a standing ovation which lasted
over 5 minutes.

The final question was: How do you explain the difference between COMPLETE
and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand? Some people say there is
no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED.

Here is his astute answer:
When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. When you marry the wrong
woman, you are FINISHED.  And when the right one catches you with the wrong
one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!!!

A man and a woman are seated next to each other on a flight. They start
eying each other, and both realize they want to do the same thing. He slips
a condom out of his pocket, and she looks delighted.

Rear toilet? He suggests. Five minutes, she agrees and goes off. He waits
five minutes, then goes and slips in there with her. Right, get that condom
on, she says. Soon, they are both sighing with pleasure.

But a sharp eyed stewardess has noticed them, and realized what they are up
to, So, she humiliates them by making an announcement over the PA system.
"To the lady and gentleman in the rear toilet, we know what you are doing,
and it is expressly forbidden by airline regulations. Now, please put those
cigarettes out and take the condom off the smoke detector."

And what were you thinking?
I worry about you sometimes!

Rerunning an oldie ...

200 crows were found dead recently and there was concern that it may have
been caused by avian flu.

A bird pathologist examined the remains and to, everyone's relief,
confirmed that the problem was not avian flu, but rather vehicular impact.

Varying colours of paint appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By
analysing the paint residues it was determined 98% of the crows had been
killed by trucks, while only 2% were killed by cars.

An ornithological behaviourist was hired to determine  if there was a cause
for the disproportionate percentage of truck kills versus car kills.

He very quickly concluded the cause.  When crows eat roadkill, they always
have a lookout crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger

They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout 'CAH', not a
single one could shout 'TRUCK'!
