Newsletter and jokes 16 June 2016


 
Hi all 
 
Lots of goodness on offer this week (with the occasional low-brow release for  
those who prefer that... ). 
 
The big release is of course Finding Dory, which, given the stellar reviews 
overseas, is set to do well. 
 
The Nice Guys got good reviews but for some reason didn't appeal to the masses. 
 
There are some previews next Thursday night for Independence Day: Resurgence,  
but only the 3D IMAX version ... see the previews page and remember to book. 
 
Lastly the Durban Film Festival is in full swing, why not go and see the sort  
of movies that you would never watch otherwise? You might be pleasantly  
surprised :-)

At a travel agency in Shanghai, I asked the Chinese girl behind the counter 
if she could escort me on a tour of the city, and if she'd give me her 
mobile phone number so I could call to make arrangements. 
 
She got real excited and said: "S*X, S*X, S*X, WAN FREE S*X FOR TONIGHT" 
 
I replied: Darn, you Chinese women are really hospitable . . . 
 
A guy standing next to me heard what I said, and told me that what she 
really said was 666136429.

My mate has two tickets for the final of Euro 2016 but he is getting 
married on that day and cannot attend.  If anyone wants to go instead of 
him it's at St Andrews Church in Brighton and the brides name is Angela.

A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in 
front of a broken down shanty-style house: Talking Dog For Sale 
 
He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the 
backyard. 
 
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever 
sitting there. 
 
'You talk?' he asks. 
 
'Yep,' the Lab replies. 
 
After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, 
what's your story?' 
 
The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was 
pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so... I told the CIA. 
 
'In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in 
rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be 
eavesdropping. 
 
'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running... 
 
'But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting 
any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the 
airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious 
characters and listening in. 
'I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. 
 
'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.' 
 
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the 
dog. 
 
'Ten dollars,' the guy says. 
 
'Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so 
cheap?' 
 
'Because he's a compulsive liar. He's never been out of the yard'

Modern day weddings... 
 
"Daddy, I am coming home to get married, soon. Get out your check book. 
LOL I'm in love with a boy who is far away from me. I am in Australia , and 
he lives in  Scotland. We met on a dating website, became friends on 
Facebook, had long chats on Whatsapp, he proposed to me on Skype, and now 
we've had two months of relationship through Viber. My beloved and 
favourite Dad, I need your blessing, good wishes, and a really big wedding! 
Lots of love and thanks, from your favourite daughter. Lilly" 
 
Lilly's Dad's reply:  (also texting... Dad has it all together) 
 
"My Dear Lilly, Like Wow! Really? Cool! Whatever! I suggest you two get 
married on Twitter, have fun on Tango, buy your kids on Amazon, and pay for 
it all  through Paypal. And when you get fed up with this new husband, sell 
him on Ebay!

An oldie which has not been improved on... 
 
 
1. All pipe is to be made of a long hole, surrounded by metal or plastic 
centred around the hole. 
 
 
2. All pipe is to be hollow throughout the entire length - do not use holes 
of different length than the pipe. 
 
 
3. The ID (inside diameter) of all pipe must not exceed the O.D. (outside 
diameter) otherwise the hole will be on the outside. 
 
 
4. All pipe is to be supplied with nothing in the hole so that the water, 
steam or other stuff can be put inside at a later date. 
 
 
5. All pipe should be supplied without rust; this can be more readily 
applied at the job site. Note: Some vendors are now able to supply 
pre-rusted pipe.  If available in your area, product is recommended, 
as it will save a great deal of time of the job site. 
 
 
6. All pipe over 500 ft (153m) in length should have the words "Long Pipe" 
clearly painted on each end so the contractor will know it is a long pipe. 
 
 
7. Pipe over 2 miles (3.2km) in length must also have the words "Long Pipe" 
painted in the middle so the contractor will not have to walk the entire 
length of the pipe to determined wether or not it is long pipe or a short 
pipe. 
 
 
8. All pipe over 6" (152mm) in diameter must have the words "Large Pipe" 
painted on it sot eh contractor will not mistake it for a small pipe. 
 
 
9. Flanges must be used on all pipe.  Flanges must have holes in for bolts 
quite separate from the big hole in the middle. 
 
 
10.  When ordering 90 degrees, 45 degrees or 30 degree elbows, be sure to 
specify right hand or left hand: otherwise you will end up going the wrong 
way. 
 
 
11.  Be sure to specify to your vendor wether you want level, uphill or 
downhill pipe.  If you use downhill pipe for going uphill, 
the water will flow the wrong way. 
 
 
12.  All couplings should have either right hand or left hand threads, but 
do not mix the threads, otherwise as the coupling is being screwed on one 
pipe; it is unscrewed from the other.
