THREE DOGS AT THE VET...

THREE DOGS AT THE VET... 
 
Three dogs were sitting in the waiting room at the vet's when they struck
up a conversation. The Black Labrador turned to the yellow Labrador and 
said >> " So why are you here ? "
 
The yellow Lab replied, " I'm a pisser. I piss on everything.....the
sofa, the curtains, the cat, the kids. But the final straw was last night
when I  pissed in the middle of my owner's bed."
 
The black Lab said, " So what’s? the vet going to do ? "
 
" Gonna cut my nuts off " came the reply from the yellow Lab.
"They reckon it'll calm me down."
 
The Yellow Lab then turned to the Black Lab and asked " why are you here ?"
 
The Black Lab said, " I'm a digger. I dig under fences, dig up flowers and
trees, I dig just for the hell of it. When I'm inside, I dig up the 
carpets.   But I went over the line last night when I dug a great big hole in my
owners' couch."
" So what are they going to do to you ? " the Yellow Lab inquired.
" Looks like I'm losing my nuts too," the dejected Black Lab said.
 
The Black Lab then turned to the Great Dane and asked, " Why are you here?
" I'm a humper,"  said the Great Dane. "I'll hump anything. I'll hump the
cat, a  pillow, the table, fence posts, whatever.  I want to hump everything I
see."
Yesterday my owner had just got out of the shower and was bending down to
dry her toes, and I just couldn't help myself. I hopped on her back and
started hammering away."
The Black and the Yellow Labs exchanged a sad glance and said,
" So, it's nuts off for you too, huh ?"

The Great Dane said, " No, apparently I'm here to get my nails clipped ! "

Hoax !

The States of Jersey Police sent out a press release about a "Parcel Delivery Service" scam which was picked up and printed by the local press, mentioned on the local TV news and on the postal service website.

The problem is it was five years out of date!

Policing at its best... 


but it is an example of how far and wide our messages can spread in our interconnected world,


and how we should never just accept what we are told by the media and/or authorities.

Some people hear voices.

Some see invisible people.

Others have no imagination whatsoever.

A lawyer and a senior citizen...

A lawyer and a senior citizen
 are sitting next to each other on a long flight.

The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one over 
on this one easily.

So the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.

The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries 
to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists saying that "the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question 
and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5. Then you ask me one, and if 
I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500," he says.

This catches the senior's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the 
game.

The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?'

The senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar 
bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

Now it's the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three 
legs, and comes down with four?'

The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the Net.

He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an 
hour of searching, he finally gives up.

He wakes the senior and hands him $500. The senior pockets the $500 and goes 
right back to sleep.


The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up and asks,  
'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'

The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.

Targets

To be sure of hitting the target,

shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

Good Hunting

Good Hunting

Two hunters are out in the woods in New Jersey when one of them collapses. 

He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. 

The other guy whips out his 'phone and calls the emergency services. 

He gasps, 'My friend is dead! What can I do?'

The operator says, 'Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.'

There is a silence, then a shot is heard. 

Back on the phone, the guy says, 'OK, now what?'

Diplomats

A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.

Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 per cent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves."

Skydiving

You do not need a parachute to skydive.

You only need a parachute to skydive twice. 

The path to success.

The easiest path to success is this:

1. Figure out what you want to do.

2. Find someone who's already done it.

3. Do what they did.

Christmas Party

The Work "Do"

Internet Marketing, just like any solo venture, can be a lonely business.

A lot of us spend many hours alone, hunched over our Macs and Pcs with little, if any, human contact.

This can be lonely at any time of year but especially so at Christmas time. 

And more importantly it makes the traditional office Christmas party a rather one-sided affair.

But I want to change all that.

I would like to propose that we hold a Christmas party open to all members of the Challenge and our respective Twitter and Facebook networks.

My initial thoughts on how it will work are:

Date: Friday 10th December
Time: All Day ( to allow for time-zones )
Venue: Skype, Twitter, and Facebook
Dress-Code: Depends on whether you have a webcam

Format: Using the Twitter hashtag #tcxmas, our Facebook walls and Skype contact lists - we mingle.

We bring our own drink and mince pies. This is compulsory.

There will be no shenanigans involving the photocopier !

All participants will be expected to wear a hat.

Over to you...

Americans

Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America ?

Equality

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

In an emergency :)

Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says "If an emergency, notify:" I put "A DOCTOR".

Genius loves company :)

Thanks to Ed and the team for a great weekend at the Challenge conference. 

I'll let you figure out who's the genius and who's the company...

How is it that one careless match can start a forest fire,

but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Stealing Ideas

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism.
