Jokes & stories....

Joke

A farmer buys a cute little filly that he plans on racing next season, but when gets her home, his old stallion smells her and wants her and starts kicking up dust.

The farmer doesn't want her knocked up, because she won't be able to race, so he calls the vet. The vet tells him to tie a bed sheet around the filly's rump to keep the stallion away.

So, that day, the farmer does just that.

The next day, the farmer goes out to the corral to make sure the vet's solution worked, but the filly's nowhere to be found. The farmer follows her hoof trail to the neighbor's farm and sees the neighbor' kid out by their barn.

"Hey boy, did you see a filly run by with a bed sheet tied around her rump?" the farmer asks.

The kid replies, "No sir, but one dashed past here early this morning with a handkerchief sticking out of her butt!!"

Joke

One day during cooking class, the teacher, Mrs. Pritchard, was extolling her secrets for preparing perfect sauces. When she ordered us to the stoves to prepare our assignments, she said, "Don't forget to use wooden spoons."

As I stirred my sauce, I contemplated the physics behind the mystery of the wooden spoon and decided it must have something to do with heat conduction.

I approached Mrs. Pritchard to test my theory. "Why wooden spoons?" I asked.

"Because," she replied, "if I have to sit here listening to all your metal spoons banging against metal pots, I'd go nuts."

CANBERRA, Australia - Couples in Australia now have a nice incentive to have children - 2,000 bucks for every baby born after June. Peter Costello, the treasurer of the country, said that two children per couple in a nation of 20 million just isn't enough to sustain growth. He said it is the "patriotic duty" of couples to have at least three children. The initiative will be up for grabs for the next five years. "You should have ... one for your husband, one for your wife, and one for your country," Costello said. Some couples might have to go even further and have extra children "for your country" to accommodate for the gap left by those "who are not even replicating themselves."

The father of three ended the news conference by telling reporters, "You go home and do your patriotic duty tonight."
