Re: On This Day In ....

You got another reference to 'bras' in again I see. Beginning to think they are some sort of obsession around here . I may as well try out all these smilies whilst I'm at it .

Re: On This Day In ....

Some of you might remember this one which I posted some time ago?
.
black bras, size 38

A Chinese guy goes into a Jewish-owned establishment to buy black bras, size 38.

The Jewish store keeper, known for his skills as a businessman, says that black bras are rare and that he is finding it very difficult to buy them from his suppliers. Therefore he has to charge $50.00 for them.

The Chinese guy buys 25 pairs.

He returns a few days later and this time orders fifty.

The Jewish owner tells him that they have become even harder to get and charges him $60.00 each.

The Chinese guy returns a month later and buys the store's remaining stock of 50, and this time for $75.00 each.

The Jewish owner is somewhat puzzled by the large demand for black size 38 bras and asks the Chinese guy, "...please tell me - What do you do with all these black bras?"

The Chinese guy answers: "I cut them in half and sell them as skull caps to you Jews for $200.00 each."

Re: On This Day In ....

A Bloke takes his missus to the Doctor because she is showing sighs of depression, after the Doctor asked a few pertinent questions, it became obvious that the husband had lost his sex drive, and the wife was feeling barren and unloved. The Doctor said to the husband, you must pay more attention to your wife's needs, I think she needs sex at least twice a week, to which the husband replied, O.K, can I bring her here on a Tuesday and a Friday.

Keep em coming .

Re: On This Day In ....

I wondered if either of you would pick up on that one

I love smilies - just waiting for a whistling one (super hint)

Re: On This Day In ....

I'm trying to think of a joke about bras and whistlling. I can think of plenty of situations but they are not funny - more factual. Kind of like a dirty old man observation really come to think of it .

I dunno the above is kinda funny...
