Joke of The Day!

Recommended Posts

We start with an oldie but goodie... and a metaphor for government's proclivity for repeating the same mistakes...

 

Moose Hunters

 

Two hunters -Stosh and Stan - got a pilot to fly them into the Canadian wilderness, where they managed to bag two big bull moose.

 

As they were loading the plane to return, the pilot said the plane could take only the hunters, their gear, and one moose.

 

The hunters objected strongly, saying, "Last year we shot two, and the pilot let us take them both. And he had exactly the same airplane as yours."

 

Reluctantly the pilot, not wanting to be outdone by another bush pilot, gave in and everything was loaded.

 

However, even under full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load and went down, crashing in the wooded wilderness.

 

Somehow, surrounded by the moose, clothing, and sleeping bags, Stosh and Stan survived the crash.

 

After climbing out of the wreckage, Stosh asked Stan, "Any idea where we are?"

 

Stan replied, "I think we're pretty close to where we crashed last year."

This lady gets on a plane with her pet poodle. A man sits next to her.

A few hours into the flight the man lights up a cigarette. The poodle

starts to cough and weeze. The lady asks the man politly to put out the

cigarette. He says"I paid for first class and I'm gonna smoke!"

A few hours later the man lights up another cigarette. The poodle again

starts to cough and wheeze. SO the lady asks, not so politley, for him

to put the cigarette out. He again says,"I paid for first class lady,

and I'm gonna smoke!", so she waits.

Eventually the man lights up another cigarette. The dog almost chokes

to death. The lady says,"Listen, I make a deal with you, I'll throw my

poodle out the window if you will through your cigarette out the

window.", well the man agrees its a fair bargian and the both toss out

the window the poodle and the cigarette.

When the plane lands, the lady gets of the plane and to her surprise the

poodle is sitting on the wing of the plane! And guess what it has in

it's mouth???

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

 

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.

 

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

 

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

 

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

 

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

 

I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted paychecks.

 

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut and still think they are sexy.

 

Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.

 

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

 

There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.

 

You're never too old to learn something stupid.

 

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

 

Hospitality is making your guests feel at home even when you wish they were.

 

When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the fire department usually uses water.

• My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning; can you believe that? 2:30am! Lucky for him I was still up playing my bagpipes.

 

• I sat on the train this morning opposite a stunning Thai girl. I kept thinking to myself, please don't get an erection, please don't get an erection - but she did

 

• Paddy says "Mick, I'm thinking of buying a Labrador.""B'Jasus," says Mick,” have you seen how many of their owners go blind"

 

• Man calls 000 and says "I think my wife is dead” The operator says how do you know? He says "The sex is the same but the ironing is building up!”

 

• I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the biggest p*nis she had ever laid her hands on. I said "You're pulling my leg"

 

• I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!! At least I presume she was poor - she only had $5.00 in her purse.

 

• My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker. Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend yet.

 

• I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. She said she would like to come back as a cow. I said you’re obviously not listening.

 

• The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst. So I have been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams . If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.

Here's how it went:

 

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Reminiscing on 50 years of marriage, Ingot asks Sheila if she was always faithful.

"No . I was forced to be unfaithful three times to help you.

When we were about to loose our house I slept with the Bank manager.

When you were so sick, without money, I slept with the doctor.

And when you were standing for Chairman of the Golf Club , and need 73 more votes.........

Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If General Motors had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

 

In response, General Motors issued a press release stating that if GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

 

For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

 

Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

 

Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

 

Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

 

Only one person at a time could use the car unless you bought "CarNT," but then you would have to buy more seats.

 

Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but it would only run on five percent of the roads.

 

The warning lights for the oil pressure, water temperature and alternator would all be replaced by a single "general protection fault" warning light.

 

New seats would force everyone to have the same sized butt.

 

The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying.

 

Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, you car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the antenna.

 

GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the cars performance to diminish by 50 percent or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.

 

Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

 

You'd have to press the "start" button to turn the engine off.

Aboriginal Bush Tracker - Somewhere between Karratha and Onslow in remote Western Australia

 

An Australian tour guide was showing a group of American tourists the Top End.

 

On their way to Kakadu in one of Australia's famous National Parks, he was describing the legendary abilities of the Australian Aborigine to track man or beast over land, through the air, and under the sea.

 

The Americans were incredulous.

 

Later in the day, the tour rounded a bend on the highway and discovered, lying in the

middle of the road, an Aborigine. He had one ear pressed to the white line whilst his left leg was held high in the air.

 

The tour stopped and the guide and the tourists gathered around the prostrate Aborigine.

 

"Jacky," said the tour guide, "what are you tracking and what are you listening for?"

 

The aborigine replied,

 

"Down the road about 25 miles is a 1967 Dodge Ute.

It's a red one.

The left pront tyre is bald.

The pront end is out of whack, and him got bloody dents in every panel.

There are 9 black fellas in the back, all drinking warm sherry.

There are 3 kangaroos on the roof rack and 6 dogs on the front seat."

 

The American tourists moved forward, astounded by this precise and detailed knowledge.

"Good grief man ... how do you know all that?," asked one.

 

The Aborigine replied......... I fell out off the pucken thing 'bout half an hour ago!".

An 18 year -old girl farm girl tells her Mum that she is pregnant.

 

Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says "Who was the pig that did this to you?Your father is going to kill you."

 

The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.

 

One hour later a Ferrari stops in front of the farm house , a mature and distinguished man with grey hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of the Ferrari ,and enters the house.

 

He sits in the living room with the father , mother, and the girl.

 

"Good morning.Your daughter has informed me of the problem.I cant marry her because of my personal family situation, but I'll take charge.I'll pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life. Additionally, if a girl is born,I'll bequest her two retail stores, a town house, a beachfront home and $10 million. "

 

"If a boy is born my legacy will be two factories , a cattle farm and $14 million"

 

"If twins, they will recieve $12 million each "

 

"However, if your daughter should have a miscarriage, I'm not really sure what to do"

 

At this point, the girls father, who had remained silient, places a hand on the mans shoulder and says "Then you try again son".

UK labor market data was mixed, as the ILO unemployment rate unexpectedly lifted, while wage growth came in higher than anticipated – The data suggests that the labor market is catching up with the recession. Mixed messages then for the BoE. China grew by 5.3% in Q1 however the numbers are causing a lot of doubts over sustainability of this growth. The bounce came in the first 2 months of the year.

Trading Leveraged Products is risky Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Markets weigh risk of retaliation cycle in Middle East. Initially the retaliatory strike from Iran on Israel fostered a haven bid, into bonds, gold and other haven assets, as it threatens a wider regional conflict. However, this morning, Oil and Asian equity markets were muted as traders shrugged off fears of a war escalation in the Middle East. Iran said “the matter can be deemed concluded”, and President Joe Biden has called on Israel to exercise restraint following Iran’s drone and missile strike, as part of Washington’s efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East and minimize the likelihood of a widespread regional conflict.

    • The morning of my last post I happened to glance over to the side and saw “...angst over the FOMC’s rate trajectory triggered a flight to safety, hence boosting the haven demand. “   http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/topic/21621-hfmarkets-hfmcom-market-analysis-services/page/17/?tab=comments#comment-228522   I reacted, but didn’t take time to  respond then... will now --- HFBlogNews, I don’t know if you are simply aggregating the chosen narratives for the day or if it’s your own reporting... either way - “flight to safety”????  haven ?????  Re: “safety  - ”Those ‘solid rocks’ are getting so fragile a hit from a dandelion blowball might shatter them... like now nobody wants to buy longer term new issues at these rates...yet the financial media still follows the scripts... The imagery they pound day in and day out makes it look like the Fed knows what they’re doing to help ‘us’... They do know what they’re doing - but it certainly is not to help ‘us’... and it is not to ‘control’ inflation... And at some point in the not too distant future, the interest due will eat a huge portion of the ‘revenue’ Re: “haven” The defaults are coming ...  The US will not be the first to default... but it will certainly not be the very last to default !! ...Enough casual anti-white racism for the day  ... just sayin’
    • Date: 12th April 2024. Producer Inflation On The Rise, But Will Earnings Hold Demand Steady?     Producer inflation rose slightly less than previous expectations, but the annual figure continues to rise. The annual PPI rose to 2.1% and the Core PPI rose to 2.4%. The NASDAQ and SNP500 end the day higher, but the Dow Jones continues to struggle. This morning earnings kick off with the banking sector including JP Morgan, BlackRock and Wells Fargo. All 3 stocks trade higher during pre-trading hours. The Euro trades lower against all currencies despite the ECB’s attempt to establish a hawkish tone. USA100 – The NASDAQ Climbs Higher, But Is the Growth Sustainable? The NASDAQ was the only index which did not witness a significant decline at the opening of the US session. In addition to this, the USA100 is the only index which is witnessing indications of a bullish market. The price has crossed onto a higher high breaking the resistance level at $18,269. The index is also trading above the 75-Bar EMA and at the 65.00 level on the RSI which signals buyers are controlling the market. However, a similar large bullish impulse wave was also formed on the 3rd and 5th of the month and was followed by a correction. Therefore, investors need to be cautious of a bearish breakout which may signal a correction back to the 75-bar EMA (18,165). The medium-term growth and its sustainability will depend on the upcoming earnings data.   Bond yields declined during this morning’s Asian session by 18 points, which is positive for the stock market. However, even with the decline, bond yields remain significantly higher than Monday’s opening yield. This week the 10-year bond yield rose from 4.424 to 4.558, which is a concern. If bond yields again start to rise, the stock market potentially can again become pressured. 25% of the NASDAQ ended the day lower and 75% higher. This gives a clear indication of the sentiment towards the technology sector and reassures traders about the price movement. Another positive was all of the top 12 influential stocks rose in value. Apple, NVIDIA and Broadcom saw the strongest gains, all rising more than 4%. Producer inflation read slightly lower than expectations, however, the index continues to rise. The Producer Price Index rose from 1.6% to 2.1% and the Core PPI from 2.1% to 2.4%. Therefore, it is not indicating inflation will become easier to tackle in the upcoming months. For this reason, investors should note that inflation and the monetary policy is still a risk and can trigger strong bearish impulse waves. EURUSD – The Euro Declines Against Major Currencies The European Central Bank is attempting to concentrate on the positive factors and give no indications of when the committee may opt to cut rates. For example, President Lagarde advises “sales figures” remain stable, but the issue remains they are stably low. Officials said the decline in prices generally confirms medium-term forecasts and is ensured by a decrease in the cost of food and goods. Most experts continue to believe that the first reduction in interest rates will happen in June, and there may be three or four in total during the year. Due to this, the Euro is declining against all currencies including the Pound, Yen and Swiss Franc. The US Dollar Index on the other hand trades 0.39% higher and is almost trading at a 23-week high. Due to this momentum, the price of the exchange continues to indicate a decline in favor of the US Dollar.   Always trade with strict risk management.
