Chuckle brother

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

My brother-in-law has recently taken to texting me random jokes in the morning. I love it! It’s a great way of making the train journey pass a little quicker. Here are a couple from this week…

19 Irishmen go to the movies.
The ticket lady asks them, ‘Why so many of you?’
Paddy replied, ‘The film said over 18 only.’

Any Irish reading this…no offence! Next one…

Farmer Bill went out to his field one morning and found his cows all frozen in the snow. He tried everything: warm blankets, hot water bottles, hats and scarves, but to no avail. Distraught, he prayed to God for help. All of a sudden, a woman appeared beside him. She walked among the cows and touched each one on its shoulder, making them defrost straight away.
‘Thanks!’ said the grateful farmer. ‘Are you an angel?’
‘No,’ said the woman. ‘I’m Thora Hird.’

Hehe! Quite apt given the recent weather!

Hope they’ve cheered up your day too. :-)
