Добрый день, уважаемые подписчики. Специально для тех,
кто недавно подписался на нашу рассылку сообщаю, что в четверг-пятницу
мы
делаем выпуск, посвящённый исключительно юмору (анекдоты, шутки и т.д.)
на
английском языке. Не спешите отписываться! По понедельникам выходит
настоящий
выпуск, посвящённый каким-нибудь проблемам, трудностям и интересностям
английского
языка. Так что даже если трудно понимать юмор (всё-таки надеюсь, что вы
разберётесь),
ждите понедельника. А в середине недели мы отдыхаем, наслаждаясь
английским
юмором или шуткам на английском языке. Сегодня вашему вниманию предлагаю
окончание
так называемых family jokes!..
* * *
Dad: "You're always asking questions. I'd
like to know what would have happened if I'd asked as many questions
when
I was a boy." Son: "Maybe you'd have been able to answer some
of
mine today."

You know you're living in a small town.....
* when you don't use turn signals because everybody
knows where you're going.
* neighbors' kids play in your yard more than
your own kids do.
* if you're born on June 13 and your family receives
gifts from the local merchants because you're the first baby of the
year.
* there is no local news section in the newspaper.
* if you speak to each dog you pass, by name .....
and he wags his tail at you
* if you dial the wrong number, and talk for 15
minutes anyway.
* you can't walk for exercise because everyone
offers you a ride.
* when the biggest business in town sells farm
machinery.
* if you write a check on the wrong bank and it
covers you anyway.
* if you missed church on Sunday and the preacher
sends you a get-well card!
* * *
HOW YOU CAN TELL WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE A ROTTEN
DAY
* You see a "60 Minutes" news team waiting
in your office.
* You turn on the news and they're showing emergency
routes out of the city.
* Your twin sister forgot your birthday.
* Your car horn goes off accidentally and remains
stuck as you follow a group of Hell's Angels on the freeway.
* Your boss tells you not to bother to take off
your coat.
* You wake up and your braces are locked together.
* Your blind date turns out to be your ex-wife.
* Your income tax check bounces.
* You put both contact lenses in the same eye.
* Your wife says "Good morning, Bill"
and your name is George.

One day a space shuttle crashed to the ground
in the yard of a Kindergarten. When he finally struggled out of the
wreckage,
the astronaut shouted, "I'm free! I'm free!!!" At this point,
one
of the little children standing there shouted back, "Big deal, I'm
four!"

Kids, do indeed, say the darndest things. Our
family was on a cross country road trip and our 3 year-old son was
merrily
singing some song. After a while he asked, "Mommy, sing with
me?"
My wife answered no, she didn't want to. Well, the 3 year-old kept
pestering
her to sing until finally she said "Ask your father!"
"Dad",
said the tyke. "Will you tell Mom to sing with me?"

A young college student wrote home to his family.
"Dear mom and dad, I haven't heard from you in nearly a month.
Please
send check so I'll know you're all right."

Wilber sits in front of Family Court Judge Frieder
and the judge asks "Do you want to live with your mother?"
Wilber
responds, "No ... she beats me." "Do you want to live
with
your father." The judge questions "No ... he beats me
too."
Wilber states. Judge Frieder asks, "How about living with you
grandparents?"
Wilber declares, "No ... I want to be a Cougar, they don't *beat*
anybody!!!!"

I definitely think we're in trouble. I just saw
an ad for a new movie sequel called... "The Never-Ending Story
2"

A radical feminist is getting on a bus when, just
in front of her, a man gets up from his seat. She thinks to herself,
"Here's
another man trying to keep up the customs of a patriarchal society by
offering
a poor, defenseless woman his seat", and she pushes him back onto
the
seat. A few minutes later, the man tries to get up again. She is
insulted
again and refuses to let him up. Finally, the man says, "Look,
lady,
you've got to let me get up. I'm two miles past my stop already."
