Re: Joke thread
Teacher Arrested At London Heathrow Airport - held in isolation.
A secondary school teacher was arrested today at London's Heathrow International airport as he attempted to board an international flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a pair of compasses, a slide-rule and a calculator.
At a press conference, a UK Border Control spokesman said he believes the man is a member of the notorious extremist Al-Gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the Police with carrying weapons of maths instruction.
'Al-Gebra is a problem for us', the Spokesman said. 'They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.' They use secret code names like "X" and "Y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns;" but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are three sides to every triangle.”
When asked to comment on the arrest, Opposition Leader Ed Milliband said,"If God had wanted us to have better weapons of maths instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes." Fellow Labour colleagues told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the Opposition Leader.

Re: Joke thread
In fairness, Monty's weapons of maths instruction didn't make me laugh either.
But really cataracts and rincolns? (how did that second "l" get in there).
I'd struggle to pick a winner.

I thought it was funny.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Re: Joke thread
Bit of 'dad humour' for you, courtesy of one of my uncle's more acceptable emails...
The lawyer says to the wealthy art collector tycoon: I have some good news and, I have some bad news.
The tycoon replies: I’ve had an awful day, let’s hear the good news first.
The lawyer says: Your wife invested £5,000 in two pictures today that she figures are worth a minimum of £2 million.
The tycoon replies enthusiastically: Well done, very good news indeed! You have just made my day; now what’s the bad news?
The lawyer answers: The pictures were you screwing your secretary !
