English Humour

Hi Philip HANMAN
Thank you for joining the forum but I don't understand. I have just looked up in my dictionary to check. It says that "unlawful means that the law doesn't allow you to do it" whereas" illegal means that the law says that that it is not allowed"
I am sorry but I don't understand. Is it a joke ?

Bonsoir Muriel,
Il n'y a pas de différence entre les deux mots 'unlawful' et 'illegal'. Les deux mots veulent dire la même chose. C'est un jeu de mot. Il faut lire 'illegal' comme deux mots 'ILL' et 'EAGLE' (C'est la même prononciation) = Un aigle qui est malade. C'est clair maintenant?
Philip

very good indeed ! Thank you Philippe !

A ship engine failed and no one could fix it. Then they brought in a chap with 40 yrs on the job. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. After l...ooking things over, the guy reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. The engine was fixed! 7 Days later the owners got his bill for 10k. 'What?!' the owners said 'You hardly did anything.Send us an itemized bill.” the reply simply said
Tapping with a hammer. .£2
Knowing where to tap. .£9998
Don't underestimate experience.

Hi everyone !
Any joke is welcome !

Q: Why do French People eat snails? A: Because they don't like fast food!

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's really none of your business. Why do you ask?"
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."
SON: "Oh. (With his head down).
SON: "Daddy, can I please borrow $50?"
DAD: "REALLY?! If you're asking to borrow money for some silly toy or game, you can just march yourself straight to your room to think about why you're being so selfish. I work hard everyday to provide for this family, and this is the thanks I get?"

The little boy went quietly to his room and shut the door. So, the dad went to his son's door and opened it.
DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"
SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "I've been thinking, and maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"

Son pulls crumbled bills from pillow
DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"
SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship,

they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect.

One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their

perfect car (a Grand Caravan) along a winding road, when they noticed

someone at the side of the road in distress. Being the perfect couple,

they stopped to help. There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys.

Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas,

the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle.

Soon they were driving along delivering toys. Unfortunately,

the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an

accident. Only one of them survived the accident. The mind numbing question is: Who was the survivor?

Scroll down for the answer...

The perfect woman survived. She's the only one who really

existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa

Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man. Women stop

reading here. That is the end of the joke.

Men keep'a scrollin'...

So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the perfect woman

must have been driving. And that explains why there was a car accident.

By the way, if you're a woman and you're reading this,

this illustrates another point: Women never listen, either....

LMAO~~

Great !

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. 'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead.'

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note and posted on the apple tray: 'Take only ONE. God is watching.'
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples....'

Just for laughs

On the way to meet my husband at a restaurant, I realized that I didn’t have my phone and immediately panicked. I needn’t have worried. He saw my phone on the couch at home and brought it with him. When he arrived, I checked my texts. There was only one, and it was from him: “I’m on my way, and I have your phone.” —Michelle Steinmetz
