My wife asked me what my plans are for Easter?
The same as Jesus', disappear Friday, show up Monday.
*****************************
It was R evealed today that Andreas Lubitz's severe depression was caused by having his pilot's application rejected by Air Malaysia.
*****************************
What were Jesus' last words to his disciples as he was nailed to the cross?
Nobody touch my Easter eggs, I'll be back on Sunday.
*****************************
"For f*ck's sake love, how long have we been together?" I said to my blonde girlfriend after she handed me my birthday card. "And you're STILL spelling my name with two L's."
"Oh f*ck off, you picky bastard." She snapped. "It's an easy mistake to make."
"Baby, my name’s Steve."
*****************************
I've been through the desert on a horse with no mane.
He suffers from alopecia.
*****************************
I bought a cheap pillow stuffed with feathers the other day.
You could tell it wasn't great workmanship though.
When I lay on it, it squawked.

According to the Bible, Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Palestine, right? Acountry where people are named Mohammed, Abdul, Mounir, Aziz, Ahmed, Farid, Omar, Youssouf, Mouloud, etc.
And yet, He managed to find 12 friends named John, Peter, Paul, Phillip, Mark, Thomas, Luke, Matthew, Andrew and Simon . . . who all drank wine!
Now that's what I call a bloody miracle!

A Scotsman and his wife walked past a swanky new restaurant.
"Did you smell that food?" she asked. "It smells absolutely incredible!"
Being a kind-hearted Scotsman, he thought, "What the heck... I'll give her a treat!"
So they walked past it again...

Not that I condone animal abuse, but I thought this was rather funny....
John plays a round of golf with his mate Rob, who brings his Yorkshire terrier along. Every time Rob hits a good shot, his dog stands up on his hind paws and applauds. "Wow, that's pretty impressive" says John. "What does he do when you hit a poor shot though?" Rob replies "About two or three somersaults, depending on how hard I kick him."
On the subject of golf, I was playing a round the other day and was lining up a shot on the first tee, when someone yelled out from the clubhouse "Could the guy on the ladies tee please go back and tee off from the men's tee?" I just ignored him and had a few practice swings. A few seconds later the same voice yells out "Excuse me, could the gentleman on the ladies tee please go back to the men's tee?" I again ignored him and lined up my shot again. Again the same voice yelled out "For the last time, could the gentleman on the ladies tee please go back to the men's tee?" This time I got mad and yelled back "Could you please shut the hell up and let me play my second shot?"

News from a week on the stock market. Helium was up, but feathers were down. Paper was stationary, but pencils lost a few points. Lifts rose but escalators continued their slow decline. Switches were off and mining equipment hit rock bottom. The raisin market has dried up. Pampers remained unchanged while Sun peaked at mid-day. Sorbent tissues touched a new bottom.

My attractive female neighbour is completely paranoid.
She thinks I'm following or even stalking her, she is worried that I may be obsessed with her and any time she hears a noise in her house she is.....purified? Oh, wait: petrified. Sorry, it's not easy reading a diary through binoculars from a tree.

"Have you tidied up?" I asked my wife earlier.
"Of course I'VE f*cking tidied up." She snapped. "Who else does? Certainly not you, eh? No, definitely not you. Because YOU do f*ck all around here. You don't do any of the cleaning, don't go near the cooker or look after the kids at all. Jesus, I can't even get you to walk the f*cking dog, so yes, yes I've f*cking tidied up."
"Well in that case, have you seen a sheet of paper I'd left out?" I asked. "It's got some plans on it that I'd drawn up."
"Oh, riiiiight." She said, sarcastically. "Mr D I f*cking Y and his clever-arse ideas. No I haven't seen your stupid f*cking plans."
"Bloody hell." I groaned. "I was going to lay a patio in the garden."
"A f*cking patio?" She laughed. "Over my dead body."
"Oh, so you HAVE seen my plans?!"

I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time”. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.
I went to this restaurant last night that was set up like a big buffet in the shape of an Ouija board. You'd think about what kind of food you want, and the table would move across the floor to it.

Ever notice how irons have a setting for *permanent* press? I don't get it...
I couldn't find the remote control to the remote control.
I invented the cordless extension cord.
I saw a close friend of mine the other day… He said, "Stephen, why haven’t you called me?” I said, "I can't call everyone I want. My new phone has no five on it.” He said, "How long have you had it?" I said, "I don't know...my calendar has no sevens on it."

Winny and I lived in a house that ran on static electricity...If you wanted to run the blender, you had to rub balloons on your head. If you wanted to cook, you had to pull off a sweater real quick.
My house is made out of balsa wood, so when I want to scare the neighbourhood kids I lift it over my head and tell them to get out of my yard or I'll throw it at them.
The other night I came home late, and tried to unlock my house with my car keys. I started the house up. So, I drove it around for a while. I was speeding, and a cop pulled me over. He asked where I lived. I said, "right here, officer". Later, I parked it on the freeway, got out, and yelled at all the cars, "Get out of my driveway!"
My house is on the median strip of a highway. You don't really notice, except I have to leave the driveway doing 60 MPH.
I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.
I had to stop driving my car for a while...the tires got dizzy.
A cop stopped me for speeding. He said, "Why were you going so fast?" I said, "See this thing my foot is on? It's called an accelerator. When you push down on it, it sends more gas to the engine. The whole car just takes right off. And see this thing? This steers it."
One time a cop pulled me over for running a stop sign. He said, "Didn't you see the stop sign?" I said, "Yeah, but I don't believe everything I read."
I got my driver's license photo taken out of focus on purpose. Now when I get pulled over the cop looks at it (moving it nearer and farther, trying to see it clearly)...and says, "Here, you can go."
I hate it when my foot falls asleep during the day because that means it’s going to be up all night.

My girlfriend does her nails with white-out. When she's asleep, I go over there and write misspelled words on them.
There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot.

My house is on the median strip of a highway. You don't really notice, except I have to leave the driveway doing 60 MPH.
I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.
I had to stop driving my car for a while...the tires got dizzy.
A cop stopped me for speeding. He said, "Why were you going so fast?" I said, "See this thing my foot is on? It's called an accelerator. When you push down on it, it sends more gas to the engine. The whole car just takes right off. And see this thing? This steers it."
One time a cop pulled me over for running a stop sign. He said, "Didn't you see the stop sign?" I said, "Yeah, but I don't believe everything I read."
I got my driver's license photo taken out of focus on purpose. Now when I get pulled over the cop looks at it (moving it nearer and farther, trying to see it clearly)...and says, "Here, you can go."

I haven't read that series yet Fred- it was on one of the recommended lists by someone here on BF. Did you like the books? I've just "discovered" Brent Weeks.
I have been chugging through it and am into Book 8 of the 10 books. The ereader says that's about 67%. It's very very long, 11,000+ pages. It's very good, but very complicated, especially early on (it is actually a lot easier if you read the Wiki entry first, which I didn't do - it makes it easier to understand some of the basic concepts, but doesn't really give any plot away). It's more enjoyable as it gets further along.
I have, since our earlier discussion, been catching up on my long backlog of fantasy series, and decided to tackle this one because most lists have it in the top 2 or 3.
Weeks is on the list.
