Sorry, but just a quick post today

I’m not 100% if this joke was really published by Kulula, or if someone just made it up independantly, either way, its funny…

Mother and her son were flying with kulula.com from Johannesburg to Durban.

The son (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, ‘If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?’

The mother (who couldn’t think of a quick answer) told her son to ask the stewardess.

So the boy asked the stewardess, ‘If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?’

The stewardess smiled sweetly and asked, ‘Did your mommy tell you to ask me?’

The boy said, ‘Yes she did.’

‘Well, then, tell your mommy that there are no baby planes, because kulula.com always pulls out on time. And you can ask your mommy to explain that one to you!’

I have tried to think about an April Fool’s prank, which is not too harsh on the “prankee”, and which won’t have consequences which might make me end up in jail.

Amongst others, I’ve thought about painting normal chicken eggs white, like those you get during the Easter season (filled with chocolate), sticking them in the candy egg boxes, and then handing them out at work, but unfortunately I thought about that too late, only to realize that our white paint at home is completely dry.

Something else which I thought about, since I have an old, broken immobilizer in my car’s boot, was to strap that immobilizer to someone’s car with duct tape, and then to somehow get a timer attached to it, making it look like a bomb. However, that could cause some trouble when the police bomb squad comes out on an emergency call, only to find out they were part of an April Fool’s joke! :O

Someone asked me this morning if I could help them find a male stripper, as they wanted to prank their (male) boss by surprising him with this guy showing up at the office. I didn’t help though. Firstly I don’t think its a very good idea using a work PC to Google for something like that, and secondly I would hate if someone pulled a prank like that on me. And should I have a part in it, I’m very likely to get pranked myself

Another prank which I heard about, but didn’t work so well, was a guy who was indirectly responsible for a damage which occurred at work, to a clients’ property (for real now), but then he’s colleagues conspired, and drew up an invoice & letter from the lawyers, demanding that the guy pay for it out of his own pocket. Due to his reaction, they had to call it quits when it had hardly started.

Oh well. That’s it from me on April Fool’s. If you have any ideas, or even pranks which are tried and tested, let me know!!

For the times which I’m extremely busy, I love sharing news articles which tickle my fancy.

So here goes with some interesting Australian news.

A lovelorn man who put his life in Australia up for sale on the Internet was one step closer to starting over Monday as bids for his house, job and lifestyle hit $2,2-million. Ian Usher, a 44-year-old from Yorkshire in England, launched the unusual auction after announcing on his blog: “I have had enough of my life! I don’t want it any more! You can have it if you like!” …[read more on IOL]

Brisbane – A man found asleep in a motorised wheelchair on a highway in northern Australia has been charged with drunk driving.

Officers in a patrol car noticed the man slumped in the stationary chair around 10am on Friday on an exit lane near the tourist city of Cairns, regional traffic Inspector Bob Waters said. Cars were swerving to get around him.

The officers breath-tested the 64-year-old man, who registered a blood alcohol reading of 0,301, more than six times the legal driving limit. He was charged with operating a vehicle while drunk and ordered to report to court on July 7, where he faces a stiff fine if convicted.

The man, whose name was not released, said he was making a 14km trip from his home to a friend’s place. … [Source: IOL]

A WOMAN’S POEM:

Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who’s not a creep,
One who’s handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who’ll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he’s gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won’t be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door.
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man who’ll make love to my mind, Knows what to answer to ‘how big is my behind?’
I pray that this man will love me to no end, And always be my very best friend.

A MANS POEM:

I pray for a deaf-mute gymnast nymphomaniac
with huge boobs who owns a bar on a golf course
and loves to send me fishing and drinking.
This doesn’t rhyme and I don’t give a shit.
The End

Our company does a lot of odd jobs in the sense that the projects we’re working on don’t have any relation to each other.

Whilts one of our developers was working on a Norwegian website project, his Norwegian translator went on leave for a week, hence he had to do a bit of translation himself. It didn’t go all bad, and he was actually quite chuffed with himself for completing his work without the translator.

However, upon her return yesterday, she checked the website for any grammer errors while being on a Skype call with our developer. After a few minutes she burst out laughing, and laughed for about 5 minutes non-stop. It turns out that Norwegian can also be a tricky language, as the word which he used for the ‘BACK’ button, translates hysterically enough, into something along the lines of “ARSE”. I guess the word he used was more like backside – LOL.

There was even a help section in which he had used the word, and it read something like this: “If you want to change your delivery address, click the ARSE button”.

ROFL – Translation funnies are still some of my favourite jokes.

Another e-mail forward…

The other day my neighbor, who is blonde, came running up to me in the driveway just jumping for joy! I didn’t know why she was jumping for joy but I thought, what the heck, and I starting jumping up and down along with her.

She said, “I have some really great news!” I said, “Great. Tell me why you’re so happy.”

She stopped jumping and, breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, told me that she was pregnant! I knew that she had been trying for a while so I told her, “That’s great! I couldn’t be happier for you!”

Then she said, “There’s more.”

I asked, “What do you mean ‘more’?”

She said, “Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have TWINS!”

Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, I asked her how she knew. She said….

“Well, that was the easy part. I went to Wal-Mart and they actually had a home pregnancy kit in a twin-pack. Both tests came out positive!”
