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.
В этот и следующий раз предлагаю посмеяться над подборкой
шуток и анекдотов про молодёжь и детей.
A Child's Prayer
One night, a father passed by his son's room and
heard his son praying: "God bless Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma. Ta ta,
Grandpa."
The father didn't quite know what this meant, but was glad his son was
praying.
The next morning, they found Grandpa dead on the floor of a heart
attack.
The father reassured himself that it was just a coincidence, but was
still
a bit spooked. The next night, he heard his son praying again: "God
bless
Mommy and Daddy. Ta ta, Grandma." The father was worried, but
decided
to wait until morning. Sure enough, the next morning Grandma was on the
floor,
dead of a heart attack. Really scared now, the father decided to wait
outside
his son's door the next night. And sure enough, the boy started to pray:
"God
bless Mommy. Ta ta, Daddy." Now the father was crapping his pants.
He
stayed up all night, and went to the doctor's early the next day to make
sure
his health was fine. When he finally came home, his wife was waiting on
the
porch. She said, "Thank God you're here -- we could really use your
help!
We found milkman dead on our porch this morning!
ABC
Wilfred had just learned his abc's and was very
scared of doing them in front of the class. The teacher, though, told
him
that the best way to conquer his fears would be to just go ahead and do
it.
So, trembling, he stood in front of the class and began.
"ABCDEFGHIJLKMNOQRSTUVWXYZ."
"Very good, Wilfred. But you forgot the P. Where's the P?
"It's
running down my leg."

An APB (All Points Bulletin - словесный портрет)
On God
A couple had two little boys, ages eight and ten,
who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into
trouble
and their parents could be confident that if any mischief occurred in
their
town, their two young sons were involved in some capacity. The parents
were
at their wit's end as to what to do about their sons' behavior. The
parents
had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining
children
in the past, so they contacted him, and he agreed to give it his best
shot.
He asked to see the boys individually, so the eight-year-old was sent to
meet
with him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly,
"Where
is God?" The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the
question
in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?" Again the boy made no
attempt
to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his
finger
in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD?" At that, the boy bolted
from
the room, ran directly home, and slammed himself in his closet. His
older
brother followed him into the closet and said, "What
happened?"
The younger brother replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time. God
is
missing and they think we did it!"
And In A Year I'll Be Five
A man escaped jail by digging a hole from his
jail cell to the outside world. When finally his work was done, he
emerged
in the middle of a preschool playground. "I'm free, I'm free!"
he
shouted. "So what," said a little girl. "I'm four."
And Who Are These for, Little Boy?
Two little boys go into the grocery store. One
is nine, one is four. The nine-year-old grabs a box of tampons from the
shelf
and carries it to the register for check-out. The cashier asks "Oh,
these
must be for your mom, huh?"
The nine-year-old replies, "Nope, not for
my mom." Without thinking, the cashier responded, "Well, they
must
be for your sister then?" The nine-year-old responded, "Nope,
not
for my sister either." The cashier had now become curious.
"Oh.
Not for your mom and not for your sister - then who are they for?"
The
nine-year old says "They're for my four-year-old little
brother."
The cashier is surprised: "Your four year-old-brother?" The
nine-year-old
explains: "Well yeah, they say on TV if you wear one of these, you
can
swim or ride a bike -- and my little brother can't do either of those
things."
Big Trouble
A 6'4'' ninth grader was acting up in class. His
teacher looked at him and said, ''Act your age, not your shoe size''.
The
boy looks down at his size 14 shoes, then says, ''But they're the
same.''
Big Family
After an overnight flight to meet my father at
his latest military assignment, my mother wearily arrived at Rhein-Main
Air
Base in Germany with my eight siblings and me -- all under age 11.
Collecting
our many suitcases, the ten of us entered the cramped customs area. A
young
customs official watched our entourage in disbelief, ''Ma'am,'' he said,
''do
all these children and this luggage belong to you?'' ''Yes, sir,'' my
mother
said with a sigh, ''they're all mine.'' The customs agent began his
interrogation:
''Ma'am, do you have any weapons, contraband or illegal drugs in your
possession?''
''Sir,'' she calmly answered, ''if I'd had any of those items, I would
have
used them by now.''
