During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine
whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a
teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket
because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

The Wrong Answer
WIFE:
What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?
HUSBAND:
Definitely not!
WIFE:
Why not - don't you like being married?
HUSBAND:
Of course I do.
WIFE:
Then why wouldn't you remarry?
HUSBAND:
Okay, I'd get married again.
WIFE:
You would? (With a hurtful look on her face).
HUSBAND:
(Makes audible groan).
WIFE:
Would you live in our house?
HUSBAND:
Sure, it's a great house.
WIFE:
Would you sleep with her in our bed?
HUSBAND:
Where else would we sleep?
WIFE:
Would you let her drive my car?
HUSBAND:
Probably, it is almost new.
WIFE:
Would you replace my pictures with hers?
HUSBAND:
That would seem like the proper thing to do.
WIFE:
Would she use my golf clubs?
HUSBAND:
No, she's left-handed.
WIFE:
- silence - -
HUSBAND:
F ** k....
I hate my job day :p
[Even if you're retired, you sometimes have those days]
Try this out:
On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson &Johnson
Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed.
Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer.. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.
Now the fun part begins .
Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully . You will notice that in small print there is a statement:
' Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson &Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized '
Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, 'I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson &Johnson .'
HAVE A NICE DAY; AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE *** THAN YOURS!
.........Remember, if you haven't got a smile on your face and laughter in your heart...Then you are just an old sour grump ; Maybe you should go and work for Johnson &Johnson!!!!!

(Aussie One's)
Bushman's Dunny
Mum and Pop were two cow-cockies living in Western NSW out on a farm up in the hills.
Pop has found out that the hole under the dunny is full.
He goes into the house and tells Mum that he doesn't know what to do to empty the hole.
Mum says, 'Why don't you go ask the young'n down the road? He must be smart 'cause he's a college graduate.'
So Pop drives down to the neighbour's house and asks him, 'Mr. College graduate, my dunny hole is full, and I don't know what to do to empty it.'
The young'n tells him, 'Get yourself two sticks of dynamite, one with a short fuse and one with a long fuse. Put them both under the dunny and light them both at the same time.
The first one will go off and shoot the dunny in the air. While it's in the air the second one will then go off and spread it all across your farm, fertilizing your ground. The dunny should then come back down to the same spot atop the now-empty hole.'
Pop thanks the neighbor, then gets two sticks of dynamite, one with a short fuse and one with a long fuse. He goes home and puts them under the dunny.
He then lights them and runs behind a tree. All of a sudden, Mum comes running out of the house and into the dunny!
Off goes the first stick of dynamite shooting the dunny into the air. BOOM! Off goes the second stick of dynamite, spreading it all over the farm.
WHAM! The dunny comes crashing back down atop the hole...............
Pa races to the outhouse, throws open the door and asks, 'Mum, are you all right??!!' As she pulls up her panties she says...'Yeah, but I'm sure glad I didn't let that one go in the kitchen.”
Rules of Rural Queensland
ARE AS FOLLOWS
Listen up City Slickers !
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Turn your cap right, your head isn't crooked.
3. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'dirt road...' I drive a ute because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
4. They are cattle. They're live steaks. That's why they smell funny to you. But they smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? Pacific Highway goes to New South Wales and the Newell Highway goes the same way and continues to Victoria. Pick one.
5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 combines and hay balers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
6. So every person in rural Queensland waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
7. If that mobile phone rings while a mob of big Kangaroos or wild pigs are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
8. Yes, we eat steak and chips, chops and chips and sausage and chips and they DO come with BBQ or Tomato sauce. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of hunting season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.
11. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & chicken.
12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and tomato sauce. Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Canberra call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!
13. You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice.
14. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
15. The local League and High School Football is as important here as the Storm and the Roosters, and more fun to watch.
16. Yes, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it scares the fish.
17. Church schools? We have them all over. We have State Universities , Private Universities , Community Colleges, and TAFE Colleges. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come for the holidays.
18. We have a whole ton of our finest youngsters in the Army, Navy and Air Force. So don't mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.
19. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers. Refer back to #1.
20. 2 inches of rain isn't a monsoon - it's a blessing... Drive like you got some sense in it, and DON'T take all our bread, milk, and bleach from the grocery stores. This isn't Melbourne, worst case you may have to live a whole day without croissants. The creeks and rivers will be down again in a few hours. If not the SES State Emergency Service will come and get you
And The Last one for now :-)
Why Some Men have dogs & not wives
1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.
2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.
3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.
4. A dog's parents never visit.
5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.
6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day.
7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk..
8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.
9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get another dog?"
10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.
11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.
12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting.
13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.
And last, but not least:
14. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.
To test this theory:
Lock your wife and your dog in the garage for an hour. Then open it and see who's happy to see you.
Disclaimer's.......
1 I would not advise you to try that last suggestion :smilielol5:
2 These jokes are meant as jokes & nothing else..... :biggrin5:
Also If some of our aussie lingo trips you up, don't hesitate to ask, & I'll try and decipher it :)
Big *thumbs up* for the Rules of Rural Queensland!!!
