Two vicars are discussing their flocks and churches. The one vicar asks the other how he deals with donations. "I'll tell you" says the other vicar. "After worship I give all donations to charity.

"That's really simple!" the first vicar says, "After worship I put all donations in a big box, take that out back and throw all of it up in the air. What the Lord wants he can take and the rest is mine!"

I really am a lousy cook. Put me in a kitchen with a tin of Corned Beef and a bag of spuds and I'd make a real hash of it.

Today I was called an insensitive b45t4rd. I saw my neighbour, who is a dwarf, stood at the bus stop, so I offered him a lift. Don't know what he had against my rucksack I'm sure.
Further to my post about graffiti on toilet walls earlier..... I saw this. "This bloody round house is no good at all, the seats too high, and the hole is too small." And, under that, in a different scrawl, "To this we must add the obvious retort, Your bums too big, and your legs are too short." Who says lavatorial humour is dead.?
