Another email received tonight:

A lorry driver breaks down on the M6 with a cargo of live monkeys on board, bound for Chester Zoo. They need to be delivered by 9:00 am and the driver fears he will get the sack if they don't get there on time.
He decides to try and thumb a lift for his monkeys and eventually an Irish lorry driver pulls over.

"Where they going?" asks the Irish chap.

"Do us a favour mate and take these to Chester Zoo for me" says the driver, "and here's a hundred quid for your troubles."

"Happy days," says the Irish fella, loads the monkeys onto his truck and gets on his way.

The lorry driver goes about trying to fix his truck and is there for a good few hours when he notices the Irish fella coming back down the motorway, still with all the chimps on board. Panicking, he flags him down again.

"What are you playing at," he fumes, "I told you to take them to Chester Zoo!"

"I did," says the bemused Irish fella, "but there's still fifty quid left so now we are going to Alton Towers. Thanks and Bye."

 

Disclaimer: this short text is purely fictitious and has only been put together during a creative entertainment writing class. It bears no similitude whatsoever to any national, descendant or resident of the Republic of Ireland or of the bit they forgot to attach years ago, whatdjacallit, Ulster. The adjective Irish could, according other cultures of neighbourly arrogance, be replaced, with no fictional ill side-effect, by BelgianFrench or Uzbek (although in the latter case, the public would be more targeted).

No animals were harmed during the filming of this joke.
The distributor is aware that chimpanzees are not monkeys but apes, but it's getting a bit late and I'm tired.

Have fun!

The husband leans over and asks his wife, "Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind this very tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you."
Yes, she says, "I remember it well."
Okay, he says, "How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old times sake?"
Oh Charlie, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but very good idea!
There's a police officer sitting in the next booth listening to all this, and having a chuckle to himself.He thinks, "I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble." So he follows them.

They walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, aided by walking sticks.Finally they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers.
As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in.
Suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the
watching policeman has ever seen.This goes on for about 10
minutes.Finally, they both collapse panting on the
ground.The policeman is amazed.
He thinks he has learned something about life that he didn't know.
After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering,the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on.
The policeman, still watching thinks, this was truly amazing. I've got to ask them what their secret is.
As the couple passes, he says to them, "Excuse me, but that was something else.You must have had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?"

The old man says, " Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence."
