A guy sitting at a bar at Heathrow Terminal 3 noticed a really beautiful woman sitting next to him.
He thought to himself: "Wow, she's so gorgeous she must be an off duty flight attendant. But which airline does she work for?"
Hoping to pick her up, he leaned towards her and uttered the Delta slogan: "Love to fly and it shows?"
She gave him a blank, confused stare and he immediately thought to himself: "Damn, she doesn't work for Delta."
A moment later, another slogan popped into his head. He leaned towards her again, "Something special in the air?"
She gave him the same confused look. He mentally kicked himself, and scratched Singapore Airlines off the list.
Next he tried the Thai Airways slogan: "Smooth as Silk."
This time the woman turned on him, "What the **** do you want?"
The man smiled, then slumped back in his chair, and said "Ahhhhh, Ryanair!!!
I never stole your flag, I just rescued it from the gutter where you left it.

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 am." He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up." Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
However, chaps you now have a bit more knowlege for your arsenal. And it can work in the reverse.

Especially for Monkey Boy, who enjoys the Darwinian Award type Jokes.
Today on every British Columbia TV station.
A phone call to the local news station said that a car was in the water at a boat ramp. News crew was duly dispatched. There was indeed a car in the water, , (and very nice it was too with lovely wire wheels), no boat attached..
A man is washing the car roof, in the water. A woman on shore, calls " get out from there it's sinking". Sure enough it disappered under the water. Took the fire department, and the Saanich Bay research & Rescue, plus the environmental folks about five hours to locate it and drag it up to shore.
The gentleman, who was not drunk, or on drugs, very good English, tells the reporter, he saw the water and thought he would give his car a clean up. He backed in but could not drive out when it started to move with the wave motion, and the wheels had lost their traction.
When asked the French Quebec chap explains, "in Quebec many folks drive their vehicles into lakes to clean them." The reporter explained it was the Pacific Ocean he was using. Quebec has loads of lakes. Problem is they are fresh water and have little wave action. He later said to the reporter -" well she is clean now, inside and out - and she did sink gracefully. I guess we all make mistakes". Everyone we saw there including the folks who dragged it up were shaking their heads and laughing.
And they say the Neewfies are funny. !!!

A major earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale hit Kent with its
epicenter in Folkestone. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly,
muttering "Faaackinell". The earthquake decimated the area causing
approximately £ 30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of
mementos from Majorca and the Costa del Sol were damaged beyond repair.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed.
Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived. Invicta FM
reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and
were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something
interesting had happened in Folkestone. One resident - Tracy Sharon
Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It was such a shock, my little
Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest
two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still
shaking when I was skinning up and watching Trisha the next morning."
Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried
on as normal.
The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny
Delight to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are
still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of
personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth
Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those
unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most
sought after - items most needed include: Fila or Burberry baseball
caps Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers) Shell suits (female) White
sport socks Rockport boots or any other items usually sold in Primark.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Required foodstuffs include: Microwave meals, Tins of baked beans, Ice
cream, Cans of White Lightning or Special Brew. 22p buys a biro for
filling in the compensation forms. £2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy
drinks for a family of 9. £5 buys BandH and a lighter to calm the
nerves of those affected.
**Breaking news**
Rescue workers found a girl in the rubble smothered in raspberry
alco-pop which they, at first, thought was blood. 'Where are you
bleeding from?' they asked, "Romford" said the girl, "woss that gotta
do wiv you?" Please don't forward this to anyone living in Kent-
oh, sod it, they won't be able to read it, anyway!
I never stole your flag, I just rescued it from the gutter where you left it.

A "Newfie" for Matty
A Newfoundlander was walking home late at night and sees a woman in the shadows.
"Twenty dollars..." she whispers. He'd never been with a hooker before, but decides what the hell, it's only twenty bucks. So they hide in the bushes.
They're going "at it" for a minute when all of a sudden a light flashes on them . It's a police officer.
"What's going on here, people?" asks the officer.
"I'm making love to my wife," the Newfoundlander answers indignantly.
"Oh, I'm sorry," says the cop, "I didn't know.
"Well, neidder did I, til ya shined that light in her face."

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People. The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class. And your baby
brother, we will call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense."
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night,! he hears baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes into his
parent's room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy say's to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.
"The dad says, "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep.
The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep poo poo![Tongue Tied [:S]](/cs/emoticons/emotion-7.gif)

And anbther political one.
The Govt. announces it is changing it's National Symbol to a condom because it more accurately reflects the govt's political stance.
A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives a sense of security while you are actually being screwed.
Damn, it doesn't get more accurate than that !!!

A Texan was taking a taxi tour of London. Pointing out the famous White Tower of London, the cabbie told him what it was and that construction began in 1078 and ended in 1087.
"Pah!" said the Texan, "a little tower like that? In Houston we'd have that up in a year."
Next they passed the Houses of Parliament, started in 1834, finished in 1852. "We put a bigger building than that up in Dallas and it only took a month!" boasted the tourist.
As they passed Westminster Abbey the fuming cab driver remained silent.
"Whoah! What's that?" asked the Texan.
"Dunno," replied the cabbie, "It wasn't there yesterday."

On the way to a gig, a juggler is stopped by the police.
"What are those machetes doing in your car?" asks the officer.
"I use them in my act."
"Oh yeah?" says the doubtful copper, "show me then." So the juggler gets out of his car and starts tossing and catching the deadly blades.
"My God!" says a passing driver to his passenger, "I'm glad I quit drinking and driving. Look at the test they're giving you now."

This may be a repeat, apologies if it is.
They Grow Them Big in Texas
A Texan is drinking in a New York bar, when he gets a call on his mobile phone. He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round
of
drinks for everybody in the bar because, he announces, his wife
has just produced a baby boy weighing 15 pounds.
Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 15 pounds,
but the Texan just shrugs, "That's about average down home, folks. Like
I
said, "My boy's a typical Texas baby boy." Congratulations
showered him from all around, and many exclamations of "WOW!" were heard.
One
woman actually faints due to sympathy pains.
Two weeks later, he returns to the bar. The bartender says,
"Say, you're the father of that typical Texas baby that weighed 15 pounds
at
birth, aren't you? Everybody's been makin' bets about how big he'd
be in two weeks. We were gonna call you. So... How much does he
weigh
now?" The proud father answers, "11 pounds." The bartender is
puzzled, and concerned. "What happened? He weighed 15 pounds the day he was
born!
The Texas father takes a slow swig from his long-neck Lone Star
beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender
and
proudly says, "Had him circumcised"
I never stole your flag, I just rescued it from the gutter where you left it.
