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: 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?

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

ABC: The new alphabet for kids in the digital age

Learning the alphabet was fun. Singing the alphabet song has got to be one of the highlights of early life. When we started school many years ago, we had to learn the ABC. Kids still do, but the only thing that stayed the same is that A still stands for Apple!

SOMETHING SILLY: The Banana Test and the Broke Old Lady

WHEN I SAY I'M BROKE - I'M BROKE!

A little old lady answered a knock at the door one day to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning", said the young man. "If I could take a couple minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Go away!" piped the old lady. "I'm broke and haven't got any money!" and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open. "Don't be too hasty!" said he. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration." And with that he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet.

"Now, if this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well let me get you a fork, 'cause they cut off my electricity this morning."

THE BANANA TEST

There was a very, very tall coconut tree and four animals, a lion, a chimpanzee, a giraffe, and a squirrel, who pass by. They decide to compete to see who is the fastest to get a banana off the tree. Who do you guess will win? Your answer will reflect your personality. So think carefully. Try and get it within 30 seconds.

Got your answer? Now scroll down to see the analysis.

If your answer is:

  • Lion = you're dull.
  • Chimpanzee = you are a moron.
  • Giraffe = you're a complete idiot.
  • Squirrel = you are just hopelessly stupid.

A coconut tree doesn't have bananas!

Obviously you're stressed and overworked. You should take some time off and relax, banana brain. Try again next year.
