Newsletter and jokes 10 March 2017


 
Hi all 
 
Another big-budget blockbuster opens today, so there may be a tussle for 
the number one slot at the boxoffice, with Logan likely to put up a stiff 
fight. 
 
Rounding out the lineup are the controversial film from Tom Ford, Ang Lee 
taking a look at the difference between reality and popular belief in war, 
and a rather adult South African film looking at some events from the  
struggle era. Lastly to lighten things up we have a Bollywood rom-com. 
 
On the previews side there are previews all day all over for John Wick: 
Chapter 2, see the previews page and remember to book. 
 
Enjoy :-)

Once upon a time ... 
 
The king called on the royal weather forecaster and inquired as 
to the weather forecast for the next few hours.  The royal weatherman 
assured him that there was no chance of rain for at least 4 days. 
 
So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he 
met a farmer on his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your 
Majesty, you should return to the palace!  In just a short time I expect a 
huge amount of rain to fall in this area." 
 
The king was polite and considerate, he replied: "Thanks for 
your concern, but don't worry. It's not going to rain today. I hold the 
palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and 
experienced professional. And besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave 
me a very different forecast. I trust him." 
 
So the king continued on his way.  However, a short time later a 
torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally soaked 
and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful condition. 
 
Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to 
fire the professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the 
prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster. 
 
The farmer said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about 
forecasting. I obtained the information about rain today from my donkey. If 
I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain 
very soon."  So the king hired the donkey instead. 
 
And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the 
government and occupy its highest and most influential positions. 
 
The practice is unbroken to this day...

4 MEXICANS IN A ROW BOAT 
 
The Captain gets on the loud-speaker and shouts, "Ahoy, small craft. Where 
are you headed?" 
 
One of the Mexicans puts down his oar, stands up, and shouts, 
 
"We are invading the United States of America to reclaim the territory 
taken by the U.S. during the 1800's." 
 
The entire crew on the destroyer doubles over in laughter. 
 
When the Captain finally catches his breath, he gets back on the 
loud-speaker and asks, "Just the four of you?" 
 
The same Mexican stands up again and shouts, "No, we're the last four. The 
other 12 million are already there!" 
 
Nobody on the destroyer laughed.

On her first day at the senior complex, the new manager addressed all the 
seniors pointing out some of her rules: 
 
"The female sleeping quarters will be out-of-bounds for all males, and the 
male dormitory to the females.  Anybody caught breaking this rule will be 
fined $20 the first time." 
 
She continued, "Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be 
fined $60.  Being caught a third time will cost you a fine of $180.  Are 
there any questions?" 
 
At this point, an older gentleman stood up in the crowd inquired:  "How 
much for a season pass?"

the Irish River Dance. 
 
The Scot asked for a Thousand Scottish bagpipers to play “The Flower of 
Scotland. 
 
Finally, when the Englishman asked what he wanted for his last wish he 
replied, “Please shoot me first.”

probably don't remember.
