Frog Loan
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack. So he says, "Ms. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation." Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The frog says $50,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermitt Jagger and that it's OK, he knows the bank manager. Patti explains that $50,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.
The frog says, "Sure, I have this," and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. It is bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermitt Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $50,000. And he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the heck is this?" So the bank manager looks back at her and says,
"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

 

Casting Call...

A movie producer was going to do a docudrama about famous composers. So he set up a meeting with Sylvester Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Arnold Scwarzenegger. He offered them a chance to select which famous musicians they'd portray.

"I've always admired Mozart," Stallone said. "I'd love to play him."

"Chopin has always been my favourite," said Van Damme. "That's the part for me."

The producer turned to Schwarzenegger. "And you, Arnold? Who do you want to be?"

There was a long silence, then he replied, "I'll be Bach."

 

For Whom the Bell Tolls...

Quasimodo, the infamous Hunchback of Notre Dame, was getting tired of the same old routine. Day in and day out he'd ring the bell, and, frankly it was getting old. He decided he needed a little time off. So he put a sign outside the cathedral: "Bell ringer wanted, two weeks temporary work, good pay". He didn't really expect much of a response.

The next morning there's a knock on the door and he goes down to get it. He opens the door to find a hunchback who looks remarkably like himself. He invites him in and they chat for a while. Quasimodo is excited, this looks like a perfect match. He decides to begin the training.

The go up to the bell tower, and Quasimodo explains that the rope rotted off the bell some time ago, so he just uses his head. He shows him how it's done, smacking his head firmly into the bell. A beautiful, loud, clear ring is heard.

The apprentice gives it a try, but all that results is a dead thud. "Try with less face, more forehead", Quasi encourages. The apprentice tries again, just a little better. "How about getting a little run at it", Quasi instructs. The apprentice takes a short run and gets just a bit of a ring mixed in with the thud. "Take a good run at it". The apprentice backs up, runs hard at the bell, but misses, runs out the window and falls crashing to the pavement several stories down, dead as a stone.

Soon a crowd gathers below. Milling around, they're wondering who it is.

"Hmm", says one, "face doesn't ring a bell".

"Oh sure", says another, "that's a dead ringer for Quasimodo".

The Royal Spud!
Once upon a time when potatoes ruled the earth, there was a King Potato and a Queen Potato. The King and the Queen had a daughter who was of marrying age, and naturally they expected her to marry another potato of royal status.

But, the beautiful young spud told her parents that she would not marry a royal potato. Instead, she told the King and Queen, she was in love with Tom Brokaw and would marry him.

"Tom Brokaw!" thundered the king. "How can you even consider marrying Tom Brokaw! He's nothing but a COMMENTATOR!"

 

Colorisation
Paints were a very precious quantity in the good old days, and British merchants could make a young fortune supplying paints to the colonies.

Catastrophic!
Two good Montana buddies were out hunting for a cougar that was killing their sheep. They staked out an area of the woods near their fields, and waited. After a while, sure enough, there came the cougar.

They patiently waited until it was close, and then they both jumped up and shot it at the same time. They couldn't tell whose bullet had taken the cougar's life!

They decided to share the credit, and also to have the cougar stuffed, and they decided to take turns keeping the stuffed cougar. However, this arrangement turned out not to be to their liking.

Instead, they decided to divide the stuffed cougar in two, and flip a coin for who would get which end.

Bill lost, and ended up with a mounted trophy of the cougar's rear.

So even though shooting the cougar was a great sporting victory, Bill thought, ... it was nothing but a catastrophe.

The King's Birthday Gift

Many years ago, in the south pacific, there was a small island kingdom that was ruled by a kind and benevolent King. Each year, on the King's birthday, the residents of the island gave the King a new throne as token of their love and respect for him. And each year, the King would put last years gift up in the attic of his small house. After many years of ruling the island, the weight of the large number of birthday presents stored up in the attic became too heavy and caused the house to fall down.

The moral of the story is: People in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

Watch out for the Compasses!
Back in the 1800's the Tates Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products and, since they already made the cases for pocket watches, decided to market compasses for the pioneers traveling west. It turned out that although their watches were of finest quality, their compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California. This, of course, is the origin of the expression; "He who has a Tates is lost!"

Obi-Wan looks at Luke disapprovingly and says, "Use the forks, Luke."

"Oh my goodness, I'm sooooo sorry," the woman said as she popped her eye back into its socket. "Let me buy you dinner to make it up to you." They enjoyed a wonderful dinner together and afterwards the woman offered to drive him home. "But it's over an hour out of your way," the man said. "Are you sure you don't mind?" "Not at all," she said. "I'm looking forward to it." The guy was amazed and flattered. "You know, you're the perfect woman," he said. "Are you this nice to every guy you meet?" "No," she replied, "you just happened to catch my eye!"
