This priest never lies...

Tumbleweed sent me this joke:


An attractive young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the Priest beside her,


'Father, may I ask a favour?'


'Of course child. What may I do for you?'




'Well, I bought my mother an expensive hair dryer for her birthday. It is unopened but well over the Customs limits and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through customs for me? Hide it under your robes perhaps?'


'I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you, I will not lie.'


'With your honest face, Father, no one will question you.'


When they got to Customs, she let the priest go first.


The official asked, 'Father, do you have anything to declare?'


'From the top of my head down to my waist I have nothing to declare.'



The official thought this answer strange, so asked, 'And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?'


'I have a marvellous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused.'


Roaring with laughter, the official said, 'Go ahead, Father. Next!'





Thank you, Tumbleweed.

Married bliss


Peter and I managed to forget our wedding anniversary this year. BOTH of us. But hey, we still love each other!

Pirouette, at the cutting edge of fashion

Pirouette had her ladybits doctored on Wednesday and after a couple of rough days she felt perky enough to start biting off the stitches. So we made her a little suit to stop her having access to the area. You can see she's not terribly impressed with her outfit. Pirate didn't think much of it either.


C'est la vie, n'est-ce pas?

Tidy up your bedroom!

Peter found this encouraging story:

Like any typical teenager, Ryan Kitching resisted all his mother's attempts to get him to tidy his bedroom.

For two weeks, the 19-year-old turned a deaf ear to all her pleas for him to clear up the mess.

But when he finally gave in and started sifting through the junk, he found a lottery ticket from the February 8 draw. 


And instead of tossing it in the bin, he had it checked - and found it had five winning numbers and a bonus ball.

Suddenly, supermarket worker Ryan, of Penicuik, Midlothian, found himself £52,981 the richer and posted on his Facebook page: 'Special thanks to my mum for putting up with me haha!'

Now he plans to reward his long-suffering mother Susan and father Raymond by arranging for them to go on holiday.


The odds of getting Billy and Paul to keep their rooms tidy were more or less the same as winning the lottery!
