Random Acts of Lunacy

A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a
blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the
space. Understandably, he shot her.


********


After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found
that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare
to Beltway had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver
went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride.
He then delivered to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the
patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception
wasn't discovered for 3 days.


********


An American teenager was in the hospital yesterday recovering from serious
head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the
injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he
could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.


********


A mother took her daughter to the doctor and asked him to give her an
examination to determine the cause of her daughter's swollen abdomen. It
only took the doctor about 2 seconds to say, "Your daughter is pregnant."


The mother turned red with fury and she argued with the doctor that her
daughter was a good girl and would never compromise her reputation by having
sex with a boy. The doctor faced the window and silently watched the
horizon.


The mother became enraged and screamed, "Quit looking out the window!
Aren't you paying attention to me?"


"Yes, of course I am paying attention ma'am. It's just that the last time
this happened, a star appeared in the East, and three wise men came. And I
was just checking ..."


********


When his 38-calibre revolver failed to fire at its intended victim during a
hold-up in Long Beach, California, would be robber James Elliot did
something that can only inspire wonder: He peered down the barrel and tried
the trigger again. This time it worked.


********


The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat-cutting machine
and, after a little hopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance
company. The company, suspecting negligence, sent out one of its men to have
a look for himself. He tried the machine out and lost a finger. The chef's
claim was approved.


********


Bonus extra


A passenger in a taxi tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him
something. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus,
drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass
window. For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, then the driver
said, Please, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me."


The passenger, who was also frightened, apologized and said he didn't
realise that a tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much, to which the
driver replied, "I'm sorry, it's really not your fault at all. Today is my
first day driving a cab. I have been driving a hearse for the last 25
years."

The woman who was shot wasn't famous so it's ok to laugh at this right?
Just want to make sure i'm not cast as the villian again.
 
The woman was fictional for a start. Plus it's mildly amusing. :p

Personally I couldn't care less about your comment, since I rather doubt Kylie Minogue frequents the boards, but making comments about cancer's always a bit risky. ;)

That sort that used to be in Byker Grove then went on to do MTV before dissapearing into obscurity used to use this board, so no reason why other celebs shouldnt :D

Janie I think it was more seen as bad timing with the comment you made, obviously if Kylie wasnt in such a position she is in now it may of been seen in jest in regards to the views of glastonbury in the other thread. We all make mistakes and say things or type before we think.
I am sure your just as passionate as the next person regarding these issues and I hope you see that Kylie makes a full recovery as same among the thousands of women and men (I kid you not) worldwide who unfortunately suffer the disease.

My mum lost her sister through cancer, spreading over the lungs and heart, it isnt nice. but for a lifetime it played a huge part on my mum and her parents life, who my grandmother has never really gotten over it.

Lets all forget it and move on, probably why the thread never exploded into something worse as we all kind know each other in this small community.

Chin up and sponsor Sharlan. :)

Funnily cancer seems to be one of the few 'joke taboos' we have left to us which is strange since its one of the most common ways to shed this mortal coil. I myself lost two grandparents to it and know several who've lost parents to it. Its not pretty and many people cannot stand jokes to be made about it.

But the sad thing about it all? It takes a sensationalised media driven frenzy such as a famous person such as Kylie contracting the condition in order to get most people trying to do something about it. And that's crap. Its not as if its something new being highlighted and brought to the fore.

'That's a shame.' was my comment on Kylie contracting cancer.
The next sentence on a separate line was a quip at Kylie doing Glastonbury if people took offence at it all being one statement then that's not the way it was meant.

The Bastard Thats Grinding You Down
lost my dad to cancer 2 years ago now, i still listen to and laugh at Bill Hicks jokes, who also died of cancer, smokings biggest advocate till he quit, and still advocated it.

There is no subject which is taboo in comedy, or shouldnt be, the ability to laugh at ourselves and our misfortunes is one of the things that makes us human. Laughing at others misfortune through pure maliciousness isnt acceptable however, nor would i think Janie would be doing this. She has been known to have a sharp tongue and sense of humour which can be self deprecating at times, but at no time has she ever been downright evil in something she has said on here (wrong, but not evil =)).

anyways, Cancer = bad bad horrible thing
Ability to laugh at ourselves and make light of a bad situation = priceless


ps: was thinking of making a mastercard style joke along the lines of expenses for flowers, operations,boob job= lots not having Kylie at glastonbury = priceless........ thought better of it tho

what? the girl that asked The Corrs how they met used to be in Clan UK?
No it was some spotty 14 year old lad with an overdeveloped right wrist. Strangely 'she' was offered loads of help ingame and several people who should be old enough to know better did some public drooling.
