  5. Quote from Yannis:

    WHY MEN ARE SELDOM DEPRESSED:

    The world is your urinal.


    I was buying a peice of property and my lawyer asked why. (He didn't think it was a good deal).

    I told him at least I can urinate on my property as opposed to urinating on my bank book.

    He really expected me to say something like that....:cool: ..:D

    Which Reminds Me...

    There was this man from Texas who visited London for the first time. After spending the whole day at the nuseums, he also spent several hours in some of the best bars in the city, where he enjoyed lots of English beer, the bitter kind. When the last bar closed well past midnight, he decided to enjoy a quiet stroll back to his hotel in the beautiful night. But he miscalculated both the distance and the capabilities of his bladder, and now he had a problem as everything was closed.

    Of course, he decided to use one of the many narrow alleys for this purpose, but that didn't work either: the last moment, as he was finally standing in front of a dark grey wall, a policeman tapped him on the shoulder and explained to him in no uncertain terms that what he was about to do was "bloody unacceptable"!

    What to do? Faced with the American's pleadings, the cop led him through many dark, narrow, curved, little back streets, got him in front of a large side-door of a magnificent estate, entered a code into the electronic lock to open it for him, and told him to go do what he needed to do anywhere in the exquisite garden, he would wait for him to lock the door behind them. The Texan was very relieved, very.

    A few minutes later as they were walking away, he asked: "Is this the world famous British hospitality?"

    "No", the bobby quipped, "this is the French Embassy!"

    :) :) :)

  8. A man called me today and asked for a quote.

    "Certainly sir.
    A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
    By Winston Churchill. Thanks for calling"

    I was later fired from Direct Line insurance.

    A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
    A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
