OLD HUMOUR: Remember these Old Man Jokes?

AN elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly."
The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"
The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?
You know...the one that's red and has thorns."
"Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's the one," replied the man.

He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose! What's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"

Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"
Second one says, "No, it's Thursday!"
Third one says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer."

Morris, an 82 year old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.

A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"
Morris replied, "Just doing what you said doc, 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"
The doctor said, "I didn't say that! I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'"

A man was telling his neighbour, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect."
"Really," answered the neighbour. "What kind is it?"
"Twelve thirty."

An old couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.
"Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" replies his wife.
"Sure."
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks.
"No, I can remember it."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?"
He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?" she asks.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it!
Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!"
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.
"Where's my toast?"

HAPPY FRIDAY: Getting naked in the name of Art

THE human body contains every shape found in nature. Some of these shapes may be our internal squishy bits, but the human form has always been of fascination to the art world. Think of all those naked Greek sculptures depicting the human form in all its biological glory. It's also a great excuse to get people naked in the name of art.

The following naked pictures are credited to the IRP Group and illustrate how many shapes can be achieved using cloned, nude humans. More of their work can be found at Visual Art by the Human Body.

HAPPY FRIDAY: Vertaan jy rugby? Do you understand rugby?

WE'RE going to have to explain some of these to our non-South African friends. With the Rugby World Cup well underway there may be some who are still trying to get to grips with how the game of rugby works. It's a strange and spiritual sport that may need some explaining.

Glad to see that our boys are holding their own this World Cup. Go Bokke! (South Africa's rugby team are called the Springboks (see image below for pronunciation) which is a cute little piece of fauna found in South Africa that has the widest eyes when your car lights shine onto its face). Here are some more things you may not know about South Africa and the traditional game of rugby.

South Africa's Rugby team are called the Springboks

Springbox

It is pronounced thusly-wise (more or less).

Rugby for Beginners

Drop kicks

A "long drop" is a foul-smelling outdoor toilet. It's basically a shack built over a hole in the ground. You may recall that scene in Slumdog Millionaire where that little Punjabi boy jumps down a long drop and gets covered in you-know-what.

Verstaan jy Balsak?

Balsak

This is clearly just an innocent sack of balls minding it's own business. However, in Afrikaans "balsak" is used as a derogatory term. It refers to the male scrotum (ball sack) in which the testicles are kept. So one wouldn't call the Arch Bishop a "balsak" for example.

Verstaan jy Fly-Half ?

Fly Half

Someone is clearly taking the piss here by presenting us with a fly that has obviously be sliced in half by a series of unfortunate events. But in the game of rugby the "fly-half" is quite an important position. I don't really know where they stand on the rugby field but I do know that they can run like the wind!

Pat Lambie

Pat Lambie

Pat Lambie is one of our shining stars on the rugby field. He's the one that kicks the ball a lot. He gets a lot of attention as you can see above and whenever he has an 'off day' or bad game newspapers seize the opportunity to use the cliche headline "A Lambie to the slaughter" or some similar dribble. Pat has had a haircut since this photo was taken.

Loose Forward Loose Forward

I don't really know how to explain this one. Some poor soul has clearly dislodged his fast-forward button on his remote. Forwards in rugby are the players at the front. Why they would be "loose" I'm not too sure. I'm not really that qualified to offer much wisdom on rugby at all to be honest. Perhaps some of our more hardcore fans could explain this one?

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTATIONS: A few wordy lessons for life

WORDS have the power to make us heal and grow. They also have the power to start wars and make little Susie cry in the corner. But good, inspirational quotations for the better part help to shape our world and can move us deep down in our dark, squishy centers. In this rat race of life, sometimes we need to slow down and smell the roses. Life is a bloody brief candle, and if we can’t think of anything to inspire us, we can always turn to the inspirational words of others.

HAPPY BRAAIDAY: Rebecca Black "Friday" Parody

POOR Rebecca Black got torn to shreds over her ‘corny’ Friday music video. It may have helped viewers learn the days of the week and the difference between left and right, but it wasn’t exactly a masterpiece.

What has emerged from the ashes is a proudly South African parody of Friday called Braaiday ! Every year thousands of animals are ritualistically slaughtered to celebrate what has become an annual event in SA – National Braaiday. Here’s the splurb from YouTube:

In preparation for South Africa's National Braaiday, held 24 September every year, comedy duo 'Derick Watts and the Sunday Blues' recorded and shot a music video to parody the viral sensation that was Rebecca Black's “Friday.” Grab your tongs!

Here's the original if you haven't heard it

FAT PIE: David Firth's latest and perhaps last animation

I’VE been re-watching Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe lately and have been reminded how depressing and dodgy television and even the news can be in our backward Information Age. But cynicism and despair about the world aside, Charlie Brooker has some great guests and inserts on his show. The fourth series features the animated delights of Fat Pie – a great little cartoon series by David Firth – the same guy who brought us the weird and wonderful Salad Fingers. It can be described as warped humour, but Fat Pie often does well to make a valid comment on society.

I had a peruse on YouTube to see what Fat Pie cartoons David Firth had done lately and was pleased to discover that, after three years, Firth is back with a new animated Fat Pie gem. It’s called “Take This Pill” and I suppose it’s a jab at the health industry to put it blandly. It’s also the last Fat Pie animation that David Firth will be publishing for a while, according to him. Here’s the splurb off YouTube:

"Take these pills. They will turn you into the person you are supposed to be. They have no flavour. This is a sequel to HEALTH REMINDER. Just by watching this video, you will be healed of any problems you have in your life. If you don't have any problems, then now is a good time to start looking for them. You got a problem buddy? Wanna make something of it? This is the last cartoon from me for a while. I am running away. Watch the original if you haven't seen it already."

Fat Pie - Take This Pill
YouTube Preview Image


And here's the prequel - Health Reminder
YouTube Preview Image

"This is a health reminder. May I remind you to pay attention? This will save your life and eliminate your worries. It most CERTAINLY will destroy any bothers you have. You have no choice but to realise this. You have no choice but to understand."
