The Coffee Shop / A warning for all my high tech friends

« on: June 23, 2012, 04:02:47 pm »

I was in Starbucks recently when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to fart. The music was really loud so I timed my fart with the beat of the music.
After a couple of songs I started to feel better. I finished my coffee and noticed that everyone was staring at me?.....
And suddenly I remembered - I was listening to my iPod
....?and how was your day?

That's what happens when old people start using technology!

Brag Forum / Angels

« on: June 21, 2012, 06:16:42 pm »

As my local card shop closed down I thought I'd make a birthday card for my girlfriend. I made 2 Angels to go facing each other on the front and inside I copied the poem about Angels that gabby posted a while ago. She absolutely loved it. A picture of the angels is attatched, they are 4 1/2 inches high. (By mistake i first put this in the "coffee shop", so I moved it here, sorry for the confusion )

The Coffee Shop / MIGHT IS NOT NECESSARILY RIGHT.

MIGHT IS NOT NECESSARILY RIGHT.
 
 
   The mighty American warship U.S.S. Enterprise was certainly not feeling intimidated when it's radar screen revealed an approaching object. The captain, obviously feeling his vessel hadn't been seen, calmly and politely broadcast a radio warning; "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision."
A reply, just as polite and firm, came back "Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision."
With all the authority of a man who commands a crew of 5,000 and an impressive array of weaponry he tried again: "This is the captain of a U.S.Navy ship, I say again - divert your course."
The mystery voice again snapped back: "NO! I say again YOU DIVERT YOUR COURSE."
By this time the American captain's patience had run out and his radio blasted out the warning: "This is the aircraft carrier Enterprise. We are a large warship of the United States Navy. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!"
 
There was quite a long pause before the mystery voice said politely:
"This is a LIGHTHOUSE..... your call."

Brag Forum / Cornwall Air Ambulance.

« on: May 24, 2012, 03:07:23 pm »

Just like to say a big THANK YOU to Paul (Grampa), I emailed him a picture of the Cornwall Air Ambulance yesterday morning and he sent back a great pattern in the afternoon. I went into the workshop and cut it out today and the result is attatched. It's still just bare wood and sitting on a black paper but it will give you an idea of what the finished item will look like.

I tried to adapt an old box that I made that had a broken lid. I'm not overly happy with the result, but your thoughts and comments welcome.

The Coffee Shop / Blondes

« on: May 20, 2012, 09:20:50 am »

One winter morning at breakfast a couple was listening to the radio. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8-10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through." The wife went out and moved her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10-12 inches of snow today, you will need to move your car to the odd-numbered side of the street so the snowplow can get through." So the wife went out and moved her car again.
The next week, while they were eating breakfast, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 12-14 inches of snow today and you must park..." Then the power went off! The wife was very upset. With a worried look on her face she said, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street am I supposed to park on?"

With the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to blondes exhibit, her husband said, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time." --

The Coffee Shop / Impossible to Please

« on: May 17, 2012, 06:34:29 pm »

A group of girlfriends is on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.

The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."

So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.

The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.

They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain."

They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up.

On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.

There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."
