Hi all Happy new year to those of you who celebrate such things... :-) As expected, Star Wars continued to rewrite the history books, but so far no word on how it's doing here. However some of the gloss is starting to wear off and there are pieces appearing online critiquing all the plotholes. This week sees two big releases, one for the kiddies and one for those a bit older, but both have been described as less-than-the-best from their creators so we're not expecting any fireworks from them. The other two releases have smaller target markets.

"Saul, I have some good news and, I have some bad news." The art collector replied, "I've had an awful day; let's hear the good news first." The lawyer said, "Well, I met with your wife today, and she informed me that she invested $5,000 in two pictures that she thinks will bring a minimum of $15-20 million. I think she could be right." Saul replied enthusiastically, "Well done! My wife is a brilliant businesswoman! You've just made my day. Now I know I can handle the bad news. What is it?" The lawyer replied, "The pictures are of you with your secretary." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mummy and Daddy Balloon have a baby balloon. Whilst baby balloon was very young he was allowed to sleep with mummy and daddy but one day daddy had to take his son aside and say "sorry son but you're growing fast there is no room in our bed any more so you are going to have to sleep in your own bed from now on". Baby balloon wasn't happy sleeping on his own and so crept into his parents room in the early hours let a little bit of air out of his mummy and then a little out of his daddy and then some air out of himself. Daddy awoke in the morning and was really furious! He dragged his son to one side and said "Son, you've let me down! your mother down! but worst of all you've let yourself down!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph 's Hospital. She timidly asked, 'Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?' The operator said 'I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room number?' The grandmother in her weak tremulous voice said, 'Norma Findlay, Room 302.' The operator replied, 'Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse.' After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone, 'Oh, good news. Her nurse has told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal and her physician, Dr. Smith has scheduled her to be discharged Tuesday.' The grandmother said, 'Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you for the good news.' The operator replied, 'You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?' The grandmother said, 'No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me anything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man walking with his legs spread wide apart. One of the students said to his friend: "I'm sure he has Petry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that." The other student says: "No, I don't think so. The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome. He walks just as we learned in class." Since they couldn't agree they decided to ask the old man. They approached him and one of the students said to him: "We're medical students and couldn't help but notice the way you walk, but we couldn't agree on the syndrome you might have. Could you tell us what it is?" The old man said: "I'll tell you, but first you must tell me what you think." One of the students said: "I think it's Petry Syndrome." The old man said: "You thought, but you are wrong." Then the other student said: "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome." The old man said: "You thought, but you are wrong." So they asked him: "Well, what do you have?" The old man said: "We were all wrong, I thought it was wind, now can one of you direct me to a toilet?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
