A duck walks into a bar and orders a beer and a sandwich.
The bartender says, "But you're a duck."
"Yep, that is very true," says the duck.
"And you talk, too!" exclaims the bartender."
"Indeed I do," says the duck, "I'd like a large beer, and one of your finest sandwiches."
"Certainly," says the bartender, "it's just we don't get to see too many ducks in this pub. What are you doing around these parts?"
"I'm working for a builder in this area," replies the duck.
So then the duck has his beer and sandwich, pays up and leaves.
One day, the ringleader of a circus comes into the pub, and the bartender tells him about his clever friend, the talking duck.
"Marvelous!" says the ringleader, "ask him to come over and see me."
The next day, the duck comes into the pub. The bartender says, "Hey, Mr Duck, you're in luck. I lined you up with a top job paying really good money!"
"Yeah?" says the duck, "where?"
"At the circus," says the bartender.
"The circus?"
"That's right," replies the bartender.
"That place with all those animals? With the great big tent?"
"Yes, that's right," says the bartender.
The duck looks confused.
"So what do they want with a plasterer?"
=
A man, a flamingo, and a black cat enter a bar. The man says to the bartender: "Hey, I'd like a bottle of Bud!" The flamingo says: "Ooh, you know, I'd just LOVE a pina colada, please sir, if that's not too much trouble." The cat cussed: "Hey! I want a double scotch whisky. Buckshee. Heck, I sure ain't paying! And hurry, OK!" The bartender was utterly speechless!
The next night, these same three characters venture back in. The man orders a Bud, the flamingo a pina colada, and the cat a scotch, curtly adding: "Hey! Damn sure I AIN'T paying, OK!" Rather shocked, surprised, and pretty perturbed, the bartender can't contain his curiosity, and asks about these creatures (the bird and the very rude pesky cat).
"OK..." the customer says, "...I was out on the links yesterday, when I missed a shot, well crooked into the bushes. I went to retrieve the ball, there was this hundred-year old muddy bottle lying there. As I opened it - 'Eureka!' - out came this genie, who expressed he'd grant any wish I desired."
"Like, sure buddy! Heck, just what did you ask for?"
Red-eyed, he answers: "A pretty cultured bird with very long legs and a dark, tight pussy!"

Bush Pardons Thanksgiving Turkey
Wed, Nov 17
President Bush has spared the life of the nation's Thanksgiving turkey, after an election to name the bird which he reports was "neck and neck."
Continuing a 57-year White House tradition, the president formally issued the pardon for 'Biscuits' and the back-up bird 'Gravy' in a Rose Garden ceremony.
The turkeys were raised in West Virginia, and will now go to a petting zoo in the Washington suburbs.
The naming ballot was conducted on the White House Web site, which recorded thousands of entries. The names 'Patience' and 'Fortitude' came in second. Bush reports it was a nasty campaign, with attack ads from a group called "Barnyard Animals for Truth", and what he says was a scurrilous film called "Fahrenheit 375 Degrees - at Ten Minutes Per Pound."
=
Baked 'Biscuits'
Wed, Nov 24
In a surprising turn, George W. Bush annulled his pardon for 'Biscuits' the turkey, sentencing it to death instead.
Apparently Biscuits had fed on, among other things, turkey mince and "was, in fact, pecking on his own." G.W. called this "a cannibalistic, morally evil frenzy", and warned: "Harsh acts spur harsh punishment."
After a last meal of cranberry sauce, parsnip and white rice, the bird is due to fry on Friday morning. This would be simultaneously broadcast on radio, Court-TV and the Food Network.
Although G.W. denied revenge was the reason, a White House source tips that in one week the turkey proved to be a better speaker than the president, knew more White House Staff names than him, and was pressed to run against G.W. as the Democratic candidate in Oh-Eight.
Tony Crafter with:
... A helpless silence fell between the man and the woman.
"Shall us go i' th' 'ut?" he asked.
"Do you want me?" she asked in a sort of mistrust.
"Ay, if you want to come."
She was silent.
"Come then!" he said.
And she went with him to the hut. It was quite dark when he had shut the door, so he made a small light in the lantern, as before.
"Have you left your underthings off?" he asked her.
"Yes."
"Ay, well, then I'll take my things off too."
..."Lie down then!" ...
(Extract from 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' by D.H. Lawrence)
=
In which smooth-talking Mellors overcomes bonny Lady C's sexual distrust with his eloquent talk, and fun northern charm. Although of the horsey set, the Lady has a naivety that the astute Mellors soon drills through without effort when he takes the weepy lady off to his base-hut and he showers her with unsheathed affection. We see them go at it like newlyweds and we see the 'old-maidenly' lady become a new, keen, unashamed femme fatale.
Ay, it'll end in tears.
Tony Crafter with:
"Er... poppa Sitting Bull, how did we get our names?"
"Well, my son: Your young sister she called Flowing Water because the first thing I see when I leave my tepee after she born was fast stream. Your brother, he named Shooting Star because that is what I see in sky when I leave my tepee after he born. Other brother called Moonshine, for that's what I see in sky from my tepee after he born too. Anyway, why do you ask Two Dogs Fucking?"
=
"Father, I want a woman."
"Hmm... tell me, Greg, does the tip of your prick reach your ass?"

"...no sir, but..."
"...well you're not ready, Greg."
"Why?"
"No cheekiness, Greg."
(TWELVE MONTHS LATER)
"Father, I..."
"Son, does...?"
"Not yet, b'but I feel these big sensations in..."
"Humph! Rubbish! Be off!"
(TWELVE WEEKS LATER)
"Hi pa! I..."
"Does the...?"
"Yesss father! Yessss!"
"My boy... you don't need a woman."
