Today Ireland's worst aviation disaster in history occurred.

A twin-seater Cessna plane crashed into a graveyard. Irish officials digging for survivors say 823 bodies have been recovered but the number is expected to rise.

Digging continues into the night.

I was shocked to hear this news. When they said some bodies were so badly burnt they were reduced to skeletons, I nearly threw up.

Boo!

Aha... too quick for the likes of me...

And Fallout, I took it for granted that Spooky was being funny. Skeletons in a graveyard etc. And he is a ghost after all...

Not sure about Mouse. Couldn't work out if he was being funny or not. If he wasn't then he probably thinks I'm a terrible person for laughing at such a tragedy. If he was then he must be a dead-pan genius or something. Either way makes me laugh.

Hmmm, let me see, what are the chances that Mouse and I turned on the TV and saw news about an Irish plane crash?

It is our wacky sense of humour (obviously too subtle for some...)

That's weird. I was serious-- I turned on the radio and caught the words 'freak plane accident' as the newscast ended. The newscasts are 1/hour and it dosen't take my that long to do the dishes (the only time of the day when I listen to the radio), so I didn't hear about it again. But that's a really weird coincidence.

By the way, yes, your sense of humor is screwed up

I thought the extra 3 was an accident (seeing as the numeral before it was a 2)

Heh, yeah, I thought you were really wondering what had happened to them, and why no-one had answered me

Quote: "ROFL didn't ya get it ?"

Erm. Well yeah. Only Mouse didn't get it, and thats because of a freak coincidence. As far as I can tell the whole thread is about how we got the joke. Just the subtlety seems to have ebbed away somewhat...

Voooooooom!

Consider there were many funerals going on at the time of the crash, had the trajectory of the plane been almost parallel to the ground then that baby could've mowed up quite a few people.

@Everybody:

Yes, the twin-seater bit was meant to be obvious from the start

Yes, the number of bodies was meant to be large

Yes, it was a joke

Okay, another joke:

An American warship was sailing off the coast of Canada. It is hailed:

Canadians: Please adjust your course 20^o starboard, you are on a collision course

Americans: We are on orders to patrol this area of sea, please adjust your course

C: We repeat, adjust course!

A: Negative, please adjust yours

C: Please adjust yours!

A: This is the USS Abraham Lincoln, we are the second largest battleship in the US Navy and are being excorted by several destroyers. Adjust your course or we will fire.

C: We are a lighthouse, it's your call.

hehehehehehe

I have a joke:



Ok, there was an airplane flying over the Pacific. The passengers include a French, a Mexican, an Englishmen, and an American. It suddenly starts going down.

"This is your pilot speaking. We are going down. I am asking that one of you to jump out for the rest of us."

The French guy looks down. "Viva la France!" and jumps out.

"This is your pilot speaking. That still didn't help. We're still going down. We need one more person to jump out."

The Englishmen steps up. "Save the Queen!" and jumps.

"This is your pilot speaking. We just need one more person to jump."

The American steps up. "Remember the Alamo!!!" and throws the Mexican out.

The English man says "i cleaned out my daughters bedroom yesturday and i was brought to tears when i found a condom in there."

So the scottish man said "yeh i found a condom in my daughters bedroom to and i was outraged to find that she had more than 1."

So with this the irish man says "yeh i found a condom in my daughers bedroom to but i didn't even know she had a penis."

God, that US-Mexican joke was a load of rubbish (esp. the God save the queen garbage). More funny version...

Englishman, Welshman and Scotsman are on a train. The Englishman lights a cigar, takes one puff, then throws it off the train.

"We have enough of them in England" says the Englishman in a stuck up kind of way.

Then the Scotsman opens a bottle of the finest whiskey, takes one swig, then throws the bottle off the train.

"We have enough of that in Scotland" says the Scotsman, in a hauty scottish voice.

So, the Welshman stands up and grabs the Englishman...

Cheers

Ps. The lighthouse joke was sent around years ago now, but the email stated it was a real incident. Urban myth again?

Don't Say This During Sex


But everybody looks funny naked!
You woke me up for that?
Did I mention the video camera?
Do you smell something burning?
(In a janitor's closet) And they say romance is dead...
Try breathing through your nose.
A little rug burn never hurt anyone!
Is that a Medic-Alert Pendant?
Sweetheart, did you lock the back door?
But whipped cream makes me break out.
Person 1: This is your first time... right? Person 2: Yeah... today.
Hurry up! This room rents by the hour!
Can you please pass me the remote control?
Do you accept Visa?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
On second thought, let's turn off the lights.
And to think -- I was really trying to pick up your friend!
So much for mouth-to-mouth.
(Using body paint) Try not to leave any stains, okay?
Hope you're as good looking when I'm sober...
(Holding a banana) It's just a little trick I learned at the zoo!
Do you get any premium movie channels?
Try not to smear my make-up, will ya!
(Preparing to incorporate peanut butter) But I just steam-cleaned this couch!
Got any penicillin?
But I just brushed my teeth...
Smile, you're on Candid Camera!
I thought you had the keys to the handcuffs!
I want a baby!
So much for the fulfillment of sexual fantasies!
(In a menage a trois) Why am I doing all the work?
Maybe we should call Dr. Ruth...
Did you know the ceiling needs painting?
I think you have it on backwards.
When is this supposed to feel good?
Put that blender back in the kitchen where it belongs!
You're good enough to do this for a living!
Is that blood on the headboard?
Did I remember to take my pill?
Are you sure I don't know you from somewhere?
I wish we got the Playboy channel...
That leak better be from the waterbed!
I told you it wouldn't work without batteries!
But my cat always sleeps on that pillow..
Did I tell you my Aunt Martha died in this bed?
If you quit smoking you might have more endurance.
No, really... I do this part better myself!
It's nice being in bed with a woman I don't have to inflate!
This would be more fun with a few more people.
You're almost as good as my ex!
Do you know the definition of statutory rape?
Is that you I smell or is it your mattress stuffed with rotten potatoes?
You look younger than you feel.
Perhaps you're just out of practice.
You sweat more than a galloping stallion!
They're not cracker crumbs, it's just a rash.
Now I know why he/she dumped you...
Does your husband own a sawed-off shotgun?
You give me reason to conclude that foreplay is overrated.
What tampon?
Have you ever considered liposuction?
And to think, I didn't even have to buy you dinner!
What are you planning to make for breakfast?
I have a confession...
I was so horny tonight I would have taken a duck home!
Are those real or am I just behind the times?
Were you by any chance repressed as a child?
Is that a hanging sculpture?
You'll still vote for me, won't you?
Did I mention my transsexual operation?
I really hate women who actually think sex means something!
Did you come yet, dear?
I'll tell you who I'm fanatasizing about if you tell me who you're fantasizing about...
A good plastic surgeon can take care of that in no time!
Does this count as a date?
Oprah Winfrey had a show about men like you!
Hic! I need another beer for this please.
I think biting is romantic -- don't you?
You can cook, too right?
When would you like to meet my parents?
Man: Maybe it would help if I thought about someone I really like... Woman: Yourself?
Have you seen ''Fatal Attraction''?
Sorry about the name tags, I'm not very good with names.
Don't mind me.. I always file my nails in bed.
(In a phone booth) Do you mind if I make a few phone calls?
I hope I didn't forget to turn the gas oven off. Do you have a light?
Don't worry, my dog's really friendly for a Doberman.
Sorry but I don't do toes!
You could at least ACT like you're enjoying it!
Petroleum jelly or no petroleum jelly, I said NO!
Keep it down, my mother is a light sleeper...
I'll bet you didn't know I work for ''The Enquirer''.
So that's why they call you Mr. Flash!
My old girlfriend used to do it a LOT longer!
Is this a sin too?
I've slept with more women than Wilt Chamberlain!
Hey, when is it going to be my friend's turn?
Long kisses clog my sinuses...
Please understand that I'm only doing this for a raise...
How long do you plan to be ''almost there''?
You mean you're NOT my blind date?

Hi,

It would have been nice if you'd posted that in a new topic, it's quite long and does interrupt the topic somewhat.
