Íslendingur
hittir hóp Svisslendinga þ.á.m. sjávarútvegsráðherra þeirra.
Íslendingurinn, sem er svolítið hissa, segir: „Það er enginn sjór í
Sviss. Af hverju í ósköpunum eruð þið með sjávarútvegsráðherra?“ Einn
Svisslendinganna segir á móti: „Af hverju eruð þið með
fjármálaráðherra?“
A Really Bad Day
There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.
Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the
drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts
crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here,
I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."
"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall
asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When
I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police
said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I
leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab
driver just drives away."
"I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the
gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was
thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my
poison."
Making Love to a Woman
MAKING COFFEE
Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's
got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir..
gently, and firmly.
You've got to grind your beans until they squeak. And then you put in the milk.
LAYING A CARPET
Laying a carpet is.. very much like making love to a beautiful woman.
You check the dimensions, lay her out on the floor, pin her down, nail
her, then walk all over her. If you're adventurous - like me - you
might like to try an underlay.
HANGING WALLPAPER
Well, hanging wallpaper is also very much like making love to a beautiful woman.
Clean all the relevant surfaces, spread her out on the table, cover her
with paste, and stick her up. Then you clean your brush, light your
pipe, stand back and admire your handiwork.
PUTTING UP A TENT
Putting up a tent, is.. very much like making love to a beautiful woman.
You rent her, unzip the door, put up your pole an'.. slip in to the old bag.
WASHING A CAR
Washing a car, is very much like making love to a beautiful woman.
You've got to caress the bodywork. Breathe softly and gently. And give
every inch of it your loving attention. And make sure you've got a nice
wet sponge.
BEING IN THERAPY
And yet, having therapy is very much like making love to a beautiful
woman. You.. get on the couch, string 'em along with some half-lies and
evasions, probe some deep dark holes, and then hand over all your
money.
BEING IN A CRASH
Going to the brink of death and back, in a nine car pile-up on a dual
carriage-way, is.. very much like making love to a beautiful woman.
First of all, brace yourself, hold on tight - particularly if it's a
rear-ender. And pray you make contact with her twin airbags as soon as
possible.
GOING FISHING
Going fishing was very much like making love to a beautiful woman.
First of all, clean and inspect your tackle, carefully pull back your
rod cover, and remove any dirt or gunge that may have built up whilst
not in use. Then, extend your rod to its full length, and check that
there are no kinks or any wear. Particularly at the base, where the
grip is usually applied.
Make sure you've got a decent float, the appropriate bait, and that there's plenty of shot in in your bag.
