yeah!

got a email advising me to read the t&c's,


seems that at times ANYTHING one writes can be misconstrued as intimidating,or abusive, if it in the slightest case causes some one to react to it............

I suppose that to a finniky type of person a description of frying fish n chips in lard could be upsetting to them........and cause them to object?.

Golfing Trip



A woman is in bed with her lover - her husband's best friend.

During XXX( having fun! the phone rings.

Because it's the woman's house, she reaches over and picks up the receiver.

The guy listens in only hearing her side of the conversation.

She is speaking in a cheery voice. "Hello? Oh, Hi! So glad you called. Really?... That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you. Sounds terrific. Great! Thanks! Okay. Bye-bye."



She hangs up the phone and the guy asks, "Who was that?

"My husband, telling me what a wonderful time he's having on the golfing trip with you."

SISTER BETTY'S GASOLINE



SISTER BETTY'S GASOLINE
Sister Betty, who worked for a home health agency, was out making her rounds visiting homebound patients when she ran out of gas. As luck would have it, a Texaco Gasoline station was just a block away.

She walked to the station to borrow a gas can and buy some gas. The attendant told her that the only gas can he owned had been loaned out, but she could wait until it was returned. Since Sister Betty was on the way to see a patient, she decided not to wait and walked back to her car.
She looked for something in her car that she could fill with gas and spotted the bedpan she was taking to the patient. Always resourceful, Sister Betty carried the bedpan to the station, filled it with gasoline, and carried the full bedpan back to her car.

As she was pouring the gas into her tank, two Baptists watched from across the street.. One of them turned to the other and said,

'If it starts, I'm turning Catholic.'!!
