Joke

Three surgeons were one day talking about their .-. best work ever.

The first one:

"Once, one of my cousins horribly injured his leg in a car accident. It was completely crushed, yet I managed to rebuild it, and since there was nothing I could do about the bones, I took a chance and used plastic sticks. And what do you know, today he's walking just fine!"

The other two express their amazement.

The second one said:

"Last year my own mother lost her eyesight completely in an accident. There was really no way to make her see again, her eyeballs were completely ruined, so I took a chance and replaced her eyes with glass eyes. I hooked them up with her nerves, and, what do you know, today she sees perfectly!"

The other two are even more amazed.

The third one goes:

"A few months ago my uncle, who's a lumberjack, accidentally chopped off his right hand. I operated immediately and, having no other choice, replaced his hand with a rubber glove filled with sawdust. I connected it to the arm and after a few weeks, what do you know, he's using it just fine!"

"Wait a darn minute," blurts the second one, "now this story is a bit TOO MUCH! Who's ever seen something like THAT happen?"

"Your mother with her glass eyes..."

At my granddaughter's wedding, the DJ polled the guests to see who had been married longest. It turned out to be my husband and I. The DJ asked us, "What advice would you give to the newly-married couple?"

I said, "The three most important words in a marriage are, 'You're probably right.'"

Everyone then looked at my husband. He said, "She's probably right."

As an ultimate test of his will power, a man decided to give up sex for Lent. Although not thrilled with the idea, his wife agreed to support him in this effort. The first few weeks weren't too difficult. Things got tougher during the next couple of weeks, so the wife wore her dowdiest nightclothes and chewed on garlic before going to bed.

The last couple of weeks were extremely tough on the husband, so the wife took to locking the bedroom door and forcing the husband to sleep on the couch.

Easter morning finally came. A knock came on the wife's bedroom door. "KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!!"

Husband: "Guess who?"

Wife: "I know who it is!"

Husband: "Guess what I want?"

Wife: "I know what you want!"

Husband: "Guess what I'm knocking with?"

"Fertilizer," the farmer replied.

"What are you going to do with it?" asked Johnny

"Put it on strawberries," answered the farmer.

Trivia answer....

Because orange roughy grows slowly — the average fish is between 30 and 50 years old — the New Zealand government has imposed fishing restrictions. Consequently, the fish is not as abundant in stores as during the 1980's.

Orange roughy live in a world which is cold, dark and has a water pressure 80-100 times that of water at the surface.

Up until about 30 years ago orange roughy managed to survive away from human intervention. But modern technology has now enabled us to reach more than a kilometre under the sea to harvest orange roughy as one of New Zealand's richest fisheries.
