So far, Humpty Dumpty is having a terrible winter.

Which sucks because he had a great fall.

If walking is good for your health, the Postman would be immortal.

A whale swims all day, only eats fish, only drinks water and is fat.

A rabbit only eats vegetables, runs and hops all day long and only lives 5 years.

A tortoise doesn't run and does nothing energetic, yet it lives for 450 years.

And you tell me to exercise! I don't think so.

It's only a 5 minute walk from home to my local pub.  It's a 35 minute walk from the pub to my house.  The difference is staggering!

What’s the absolute best Christmas present?


A broken drum — you can’t beat it!

I was mugged on the way home, late last night
The robber pointed a knife at my throat and growled ' Your money or your life'
I am afraid I crumbled in fear, shouting 'I am married, I have no money, I have no life'
The robber hugged me and we cried together
I was a beautiful moment !!

What did Adam say to Eve?
Stand back Eve i don't know how big this thing is going to get

I object to that ''joke''.

 

The other jokes were fine, but not the Humpty Dumpty' one. I won't use the word 'sucks' but enough to say it's in poor taste.  It is stereotypical, and for many, it would invoke distressing undertones. Could even be termed by some as racist, and definitely could upset the WHU2C++ community.. Also has 'global warming' denying connotations. And, quite naturally - some would say - leads ineluctably, and ultimately, into endless 'chicken' and 'egg' corundi..

 

After all, let's us not forget; Humpty Dumpty was real.

The chicken/egg thing has been solved already.

Right you are jvs.

 

We all know that Humpty Dumpty represents something, and I happen to know what. But in the fable it/he was an egg; so who/what laid HD?

When I got with my 'Seven Day Adventist' g/f, she was always on about me having a river baptism, and how good it would be for me. First time we went to Jamaica together there was a visiting minister who was doing the baptisms not far from us at Flatbridge. Of course I had to get involved?!

 

We took the bus, and I joined the queue at the river. The non-believers were in and out the water so quick that is was soon my turn  Wearing only shorts, I waded out to the minister in the middle of the river. "Do you want to find Jesus young man?" "Yes," I said confidently. With that he grabbed me at the back of the neck and forced me head under. On the count of five he let me up for air. I didn't resist, as the g/f was at the bank watching excitedly. "Have you found Jesus?" "Not yet." I replied. Down went my head for a count of 10. Up again. "Have you found Jesus?" As I recovered my senses I replied, "no".

Twenty seconds later he repeated the question. "Have you found Jesus?" Again I replied, "no". Now me maths weren't that good, but I could see that he was doubling the stay underwater every time. The g/f said he had a fantastic conversion rate. No wounder, I was thinking. What could I say to get out of this debacle? Again I was under water; 37, 38. 39, 40 and up.

He asked in desperation. Not wanting to drown me I guess. He just didn't want me saying 'no'."Have you found Jesus yet?" I couldn't face 80 seconds without air.

 

"I heard he fell in further downstream at Troja."
