I completed a magazine quiz entitled "How straight or gay are you?"
I carefully considered each answer and then turned to the back to check my score.
It said "Straight guys don't do magazine quizzes."

I got burgled last night, but all they took were Mars bars, Kit Kat's and Bountys. 
The Police reckon it could have been snackheads...

 

 

 

 

A policeman knocked on my door this morning.
He said, "Where were you between 9pm and 9:30pm last night?"
I said, "I was at the pub arguing with my wife on the phone. She wanted me home by 10 and I told her no. I'm having a drink with my mates and I'll be in when I want."
"Anybody back you up on that?" he asked.
I said, "No, they all just told me that I should go home."

 

 

More people would call the Gambling Addicts Helpline if they made every 5th caller a winner

 

 

 

A man ran through a crowded train looking very agitated, calling out, "Is there a Catholic priest on board?"
When he got no reply, he ran back up the train shouting, "Is there an Anglican priest on board?"Still no reply.
By now becoming more desparate, he ran down the train shouting, "Is there a Rabbi on board?"
Eventually, a gentleman stood up and said, "Can I be of any assistance, my friend? I'm a Methodist minister."
The man looked at him and said, "No, you're no bloody good. I need a corkscrew!"

 

 

The train was quite crowded and a U.S. Marine walked the entire
length looking for a seat.
There seemed to be one next to a very well-dressed French lady, but when he got there, he saw it was taken
by the woman's poodle. 
The some what tired Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I please have that seat?"
The French woman sniffed and said out loud but to no one in particular, "Americans
are so rude. My precious little Fifi is using that seat."
So the Marine walked the entire length of the train again, but the only seat available
was under Fifi. "Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired."
She snorted, "Not only are you Americans rude, but you are also arrogant!"
This time the Marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little
dog, tossed it straight out of the train window and sat down.
The woman shrieked, "Someone defend me! Put this American in his 
place!"
An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up. 
"Sir, you Americans seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing.
You hold the fork in the wrong hand. 
You drive what we call a car on the wrong side of the road.
And now, sir, to cap it all you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out of the 
window.

 

But.

This one just doesn't ring true. In real life, the marine would have shot the dog, then pissed on it.
