George is a radio announcer, and when he walks under a bridge... you can't hear him talk.

I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.

I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.

I had some eyeglasses. I was walking down the street when suddenly the prescription ran out.

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.

I saw a subliminal advertising executive, but only for a second.

I wrote a few children's books... not on purpose.

If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?

My theory of evolution is that Darwin was adopted.

When I was a kid, I went to the store and asked the guy, Do you have any toy train schedules? =

Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect.

Don't you hate when your hand falls asleep and you know it will be up all night.

I invented the cordless extension cord.

I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end. I'm not sure how I got there.

A PREACHER'S SERMON

I dreaded the first Service of my own, and was just so nervous and wretched I could scarcely speak.

After I had finished, I found the Abbot, a cheery, robust character, to ask him to judge honestly how I'd done.

He replied, 'Whenever I'm uneasy about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of brandy or sherry near the water glass. When I start to get truly ruffled, I have a sip.'

So at Mass on the following Sunday I took the helpful Abbot's advice.

At the start of my sermon I felt cold, and began to jabber, so I took just a short drink, and I proceeded rather more serenely.

On my return to the office I saw this note attached to the door: ~

1 Do take one sip of brandy - don't gulp.

2. There is in fact a total of twelve disciples, not ten.

3. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.

4. Moreover, we do not refer to our living Christ as the late J.C.

5. Furthermore, if we are in a church we don't usually refer to The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as Pop, Junior, and the Spook.

6. And also, we never refer to the cross as the 'Big T.'

7. When He, Jesus Christ who is our Light and Saviour, broke bread at the last supper He said, 'Take this and eat it, for it is my body.' He did not say, 'Eat me.'

8. Finally, the recommended grace we have to say before a meal is not 'Rub-A-Dub Dub, thanks for the Grub, God!'

You are fired.

And that, my children, is my story.

Bobby Knight, died, went to heaven, and met God. God was showing him around. They came by an empty modest house with the IU flag in the window. "This is yours Bobby," said God. "It's very special; not everyone in here gets a house."

Bobby noticed another house stood there on the block; a great new three-story mansion with a black and a gold sidewalk; a tall flagpole with an enormous Purdue flag. Contained ~ in every window corner: the shiny Purdue logo. Bobby wasn't so thrilled.

Emphatic, Bobby looked at God and said, "Well, God, I'm not trying to be harsh or ungrateful, right? But I want to ask you: I was a good coach, a champ. I've held 3 NCAA titles, won 900+ games and I even went to the hall of fame. So in the end why does Gene Keady get a better house than me?"

Whereupon God said "No, Bobby, this isn't Keady's house, it's mine!"

This is the menu for the Ark (children's charity) fundraising gala dinner, held in London recently. The event was attended by William and Katherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who were making their social debut. Actors, socialites and hedge fund managers all jostled to catch a glimpse of the Royal couple at the ten-thousand-pounds-a-head function. The menu shown is exactly as it was written:

Carpaccio of Maldivian long line caught yellow fin tuna
Fanning an island of Rio Grande Valley avocado crème fraiche, topped with young coconut, with a splash of Goan lime, coriander and sprinkled with toasted organic sesame seeds.
*

Pacific Ocean black cod fillet
Hand-glazed with a Japanese tamari and manuka honey reduction. Delicately balanced on a sumptuous organic pearl barley risotto, hand in hand with a delightful English courgette flower beignet, teriyaki jus.

Or

Roasted fillet of Australian Kobe beef
Nestling in a Kent garden pea puree, temptingly accompanied by a succulent spinach and onion compote, to die for triple-cooked Maris Piper chips and Indonesian long pepper sauce.
*

Hereford organic blackcurrant soufflé
Snuggled up with a swirl of Kentish apple and sorrel sorbet, Kentish apple blossoms perched on top, with crunchy Turkish hazelnut crumble.
*
