Dear Old Man Winter,

On this one little plug of turf

Eq1st - Tony Crafter with:
Paddy O'Reilly boarded the train and found himself sharing a compartment with a snobbish-looking Englishman and his pugnacious little dog.
"Hey, what koind of pet moight ye have there, sir?" he asked, in a polite attempt at conversation.
"This? It's a cross between an orang-utan and an Irishman," was the testy reply.
"Bejesus! You mean it's related to the both of us?" said Paddy.
=
An old drunk got on a train, sat beside a priest, and began reading the paper.
After a bit, he looked up and said, "Father, what causes arthritis?"
This was just the chance opening the priest wanted. "I'll tell you, my man! It's caused by immoral living, by demon drink and by too many sins of the flesh! So ... how long have you had it?"
"Oh no, it's not me," said the man. "It says here the Pope's got it."
Eq1st - Don Rogers with:
An atheist was walking through the woods. "What majestic trees do I see before me!", he thought. "What noble icy rivers do I survey! Such beautiful animals come before my eye!"
He proceeded along the river. As he did, he noted a rustling in among some nearby bushes. Turning to look, he was vexed to see a seven-foot bear on the attack, charging exactly toward him.
Did I say vexed? Of course he immediately ran, panickingly, as rapidly as he could, up the tortuous path. Looking backward, he saw the bear as it closed in on him. His heart beat frantically, he tried to run even faster, and at once he tripped and fell onto the rocky ground. As he crawled over to pick himself up, he saw the bear raising a thick paw to swipe at him.
Then the atheist cried out despairingly, "Oh my God!"
Time stopped.
The bear froze its motion in mid-swipe.
The forest was suddenly, utterly silent. ~
Then a very bright light shone on the man, and a Voice from the sky said, "Here, trespassing, you denied awareness of My very existence all these years -- taught children I don't exist -- amazingly, credited creation itself to a cosmic accident. I ask, do you now expect Me to just help you wriggle out of this predicament? Am I supposed to count you as a believer, as a worshipper even?"
Strengthening somewhat, the paling atheist looked forward, straight into the bright light, and remarked, "I see it would be hypocritical of me to ask You to treat me as a Christian now. But perhaps," he bargained feebly, "could you make the BEAR a Christian?"
"Ahhh... Indeed. Very well," answered the Voice.
The light went out, and the sounds of the park resumed.
The bear lowered his paw, bowed his head, and spoke:
"Lord, bless this food I am about to receive, for which I am truly thankful. Amen."
3rd - Rosie Perera with:
A mouse dies and goes to heaven. After a few days, he approaches St. Peter and says "Wow, I love this place, but it's so big! Our little legs make it hard to get around here." Peter says, "Hmm. Very well then" and gives him and all the mice roller skates.
=
Some time later a dark old starved cat dies and goes to heaven. After a few days there, St. Peter asks him subtly, "How are things going, eh?" Undaunted, he marvels, "This sweet hospitable place -- I love it! Especially your meals-on-wheels program!"
Adie Pena with:
THE SECOND TIME AROUND
Love is lovelier, the second time around
Just as wonderful, with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say, what brought us to this miracle we've found
There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once - and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around.
=

Paul Pan with:
Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin," the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun," Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and Neil Young's "Old Man"
=
Eminent boyish hymns were playing and shook the woefully deceased Heath Ledger's nether ashes on a bonny musical tribute!
David Bourke with:
A little girl gets separated from her mother in the
Dagenham branch of Sainsburys, and started crying her
eyes out, walking up and down the aisles. Eventually,
a security guard finds her, lost, over between the
delicatessen and bakery counters. He takes the girl by
the hand, and says to her reassuringly, "Don't you panic
love, we shall find your mummy for you in next to no time,
I promise. So...what's she like?".
The little girl thinks for a second, and replies:
"Big cocks and Bacardi Breezers".
=
Tracey decided to go to the Romford branch of Ann Summers
to get herself a vibrator, and shyly asked an assistant
what they had in stock.
The assistant replied "Well, you can pick from our ranges
on the wall, right over by there, on the end. Many kinds,
and sizes, any colour you like. Rubber, plastic, luminous
...double-ended...Swedish...French...".
"Well I never!", Tracey says, her eyes bulging, "Yes! I'll
take that big red one, please!"
The assistant replied, grinning, "Er, that's our fire
extinguisher, madam!"
