There was a Minister whose wife was expecting a baby. The Minister went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that when the Minister's family expanded, so would his pay check. After five or six children, this started to get expensive. The congregation decided to hold a meeting again to discuss the Minister's pay situation. You can imagine there was much yelling and bickering. Finally, the Minister got up and spoke to the crowd, "Having children is an act of God!" In the back of the room, a little old man with a full beard stood up, and in his frail voice said... "Snow and Rain are also 'acts of God', but when we get too much, we wear rubbers!"

BRANSON OFFERED BAILOUT!....

Sir Richard Branson has warned that airline Virgin Atlantic needs government support to survive.

In response the Treasury have offered him back ‘every single penny that he has paid in UK tax for the past 14 years.’

Chancellor Rishi Sunak described it as an ‘unprecedented offer’ but said that he cannot extend it to others as ‘to do so would cost the government money they can ill afford’.

Asked how much the offer to Branson would cost the UK taxpayer, Mr Sunak said he hasn’t yet calculated it exactly but believes it to be ‘in the region of fxxx all.’

4 old bikers see a sign that says, "Old Bikers Bar All Drinks 10 cents."
They look at each other and then go in, thinking this is too good to be true.
The Old Bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, "Come on in and let me pour one for you!
What'll it be, Gentleman?"
There's a fully stocked Bar, so each of the men orders a Jack & Coke.
In no time the Bartender serves up four Iced Jack & Cokes and says, "That's 10 cents each, please."
The four Old Bikers stare at the Bartender for a moment, then at each other.
They can't believe their good luck.
They pay the 40 cents, finish their drinks, and order another round.
Again, four excellent Jack & Cokes are produced, with the Bartender again saying, "That's 40 cents, Please."
They pay 40 cents, but their curiosity gets the better of them.
They've each had two Jack & Cokes and haven't even spent a dollar yet.
Finally one of them says, "How can you afford to serve Jack & Cokes good as these for a dime apiece?"
"I'm a Retired Tailor from Phoenix," the Bartender says, "and I always wanted to own a Bar.
Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place.
Every drink costs a dime.
Wine, Liquor, Beer it's all the same."
"Wow!
That's some story!" one of the Old Bikers says.
As the four of them sip their drinks, they can't help noticing seven other people at the end of the Bar who don't have any drinks in front of them and haven't ordered anything the whole time they've been there.
Nodding at the seven at the end of the Bar, one of the men ask the Bartender, "What's with them?"
The Bartender says, "They're Retired people from Tennessee.
They're waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half price.

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said, 'Jesus knows you're here.'

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more, he shook his head and continued.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard 'Jesus is watching you.'

Startled, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.

'Yes', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he's watching you.'

The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'

'Moses,' replied the bird.

'Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?'

'The kind of people who would name a Rottweiler Jesus.'

So Johnny tells Mom.
“I was at the Playground and I saw Daddy’s car go into the woods with Aunt Jane.
I went to look and Daddy was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt, then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane laid down on the seat, then Daddy"
At this point, Mommy cut him off and said, “Johnny, this is such an interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for when we’re having Dinner.
I want to see the look on Daddy’s face when you tell it tonight.”
At the Dinner Table, Mommy asks Johnny to tell his story.
“Well, I was at the Playground, and I saw Daddy’s car go into the woods with Aunt Jane.
I followed them to see what they were doing, and then I saw how Daddy gave Aunt Jane a big kiss, and then he helped her take off her shirt.
Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take off his pants,
and then Daddy and Aunt Jane did that same thing Mommy and Uncle Jack used to do when Daddy was in the Army.”
Then Mom fainted.

Tommy was touring and couldn't find the place he wanted so he phoned his best mate, John.

 

"Hiya, I'm in Scotland, you know it really well so would you help me find a place I've been told where everyone's supposed to be going?"

 

"Sure, who's going there? What's the name of the place?" John asked.

 

Tommy replied "Well I've been told everyone should go there. It's called Loch Down."

THESE ARE ACTUAL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY "THOMAS COOK VACATIONS" FROM DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS:
1. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food."
2. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."
3. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish."
4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price."
5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."
6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."
7. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallarta to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned."
8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."
9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."
10. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."
11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun."
12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."
13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller."
14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."
15. "When we were in Spain, there were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners."
16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning."
17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."
18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."
19. "My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."
BE AWARE ... THEY WALK AMONG US and THEY VOTE!!.

Tommy was reading John's list of "why's" and exclaimed "He's left off the most important two".

 

WHY is everything in the last place you look and....

WHY don't people look in the last place first?

Maybe those two teenagers you saw walking to the shop together live in the same house, maybe they arent related but one is from a abusive home so locked down with their friends family.

Maybe your neighbour had a friend over,but was feeling suicidal or low. Maybe they took precautions to be careful to see each other which potentially stopped one of them taking their own life. If that one of them who's life was spared has children then they still have a mummy or daddy as a result.

Maybe that parent you saw in the supermarket with all their kids is a single parent and had no choice.

Maybe that elderly couple you see walking together daily are not from the same household, but they know people will assume they are. But maybe they have lived their lives and deserve to have a little bit of comfort from a companion, maybe if they are just walking together just the 2 of them they arent doing anyone any harm if they arent contacting others?

Maybe that mum who's home schooling and baking and being the perfect insta mum is doing all that to keep herself sane.

Maybe that mum that's letting their kid go wild on xbox is doing that to keep herself and the kid sane too.

Maybe that person who walked too close to you in the supermarket didnt realise, didnt see you as head is a shed, or didnt know the rules maybe has some kind of learning difficulties...

Maybe that annoying shop keeper who's doing one in one out is trying his best to be safe and keep people safe.

Maybe that rude check out girl is scared for her life working in an unsafe environment with unpredictable peoples behaviours and is just trying to get through her day hoping no one gives her Corona..

A guy goes up to a shopkeeper and asks "excuse me how much are your flies"

Looking confused the shopkeeper says "I'm sorry sir we don't sell flies"

The guy replies "well you got them in the window"

BBQ RULES:

We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

(1) The woman buys the food.

(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.

Here comes the important part:

(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

(6) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.

(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat

Important again:

(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes

And most important of all:

(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ', and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women
