Great! The longest one I know is Reichseisenbahnhinunherschiebergehilfe……????????????

Well apparently.......

 

The longest place name in the world belongs to Taumatawhakatangi­hangakoauauotamatea­turipukakapikimaunga­horonukupokaiwhen­uakitanatahu, New Zealand. It is a Maori word for a hill in the country's North Island. While some place names in the world are very short, there are places with names that are exceptionally long. Often times, these place names will be shortened for both ease of reference and pronunciation. However, their original long names live on in infamy.

In my case it would be "Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with an unemployed member"!

I call my toilet Jim instead of the john.

That way I can tell people that I go to the Gym first thing every morning.

A man went to a job interview.

His CV was fantastic, and his qualities during the interview were obvious and made him a perfect fit for the company.

The interviewers were very impressed.

You’re a strong candidate, and we would like to hire you. However, there’s this five-year gap in your CV. What were you doing during that time?

I went to Yale.

Wow, great! That's even better You’re hired!

Yay, I got a yob! Screamed the man

Dear Mr Murphy,

 

We are pleased to inform you that the biopsy of the redness on your penis showed it was not cancerous.
