I'm not allowed to fill the tank in my car unless I phone the insurance company and inform them the car has doubled in value
A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week, so the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was one problem. The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show "Look, it's not the same hat!" or, "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table," or "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?" The magician was furious, but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the captain's parrot. Then the ship sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood in the middle of the sea with, as fate would have it, the parrot. They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day and then another and then another. Finally on the fourth day, the parrot could not hold back and said, "OK, I give up. Where's the bloody ship?"
They say that the dog is truly man's best friend. If you don't believe me, put your dog and your wife in the boot of your car and after an hour open it and see which one is happy to see you!
A young guy called Tommy bought a horse from a farmer for £250 and the farmer agreed to deliver the horse to Tommy the following day. The next day though, the farmer turned up at Tommy's house and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died." Tommy replied, "Well, then just give me my money back. That's fine." The farmer said, "Sorry, I can't do that. I went and spent it already." Tommy then said, "Okay, then, just bring me the dead horse." The farmer was surprised and asked Tommy, "Why? What ya gonna do with him?" Tommy replied, "I’m going to raffle him off." The farmer laughed and said, "You can't raffle off a dead horse! Who'd buy a ticket?" Tommy answered, "Sure I can, just watch me. I just won't tell anybody the horse is dead." A month later, the farmer met up with Tommy again and asked, "What happened with that dead horse in the end. Did you raffle him off?" Tommy said, "I sure did. I sold 500 tickets at £5 a piece." The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?" Tommy smiled and said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his £5 back."
When I was about 9 years old, I accompanied my father to the funeral of a friend of his, someone who I didn't even know. When we got there, I stayed in a corner waiting for the time to pass. Then a man approached me and said, "Enjoy life son, be happy because time flies. Look at me now, I didn't enjoy it." Then he passed his hand over my head and left. My father, before leaving, forced me to say goodbye to the dead person. When I looked in the coffin, I was horrified to see that the man in the coffin was the same man who had spoken to me! I was so traumatized I couldn't sleep properly. I had terrible nightmares. I was terrified of being alone. I couldn't sleep without a night light for many years. I saw many psychologists, endured much turmoil throughout my adolescent years. It got better as I aged, but would still occasionally wake up screaming in fear. Years later, I discovered something incredible that changed my life. The dead bastard had a twin.
