A little girl was sitting in her father's lap as he read her a goodnight story. From time to time, she would take her eye's off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. By and by she was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again. Finally she spoke, "Daddy . . . . did God make you?" "Yes, sweetheart" he answered, "God made me a long time ago." "Oh she said . . . . did God make me too?" "Yes, indeed honey" he assured her. "God made you just a little while ago." "Oh" she said. Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, "God's getting better at it now, isn't he?"
Here are a few interesting facts . . . . 1. In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb.' 2. Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only... Ladies Forbidden'... thus the word GOLF entered into the English language. 3. Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history: Spades - King David Hearts - Charlemagne Clubs -Alexander the Great Diamonds - Julius Caesar 4. In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase 'goodnight, sleep tight.' 5. It was accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after a wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead that he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon. 6. Since 1966, England fans have said that they are going to win the cup at the start of every football competition. Hence the phrase ‘deluded twats’
A man was in a queue at his local supermarket. As he got to the checkout he realised that he'd forgotten to get condoms, so he asked the checkout girl if she could have some brought up to the register: She asked. "What size condoms?" The customer said that he didn’t know. She asked him to drop his trousers, reached over the counter, grabbed hold of him and called over the intercom. "One box of large condoms, Till 5." The next man in line thought that this was interesting and like most of us was up for a cheap thrill. When he got up to the checkout, he told the cashier that he too had forgotten to get condoms and asked if she could have some brought to the register for him. She asked him what size, and he said that he didn’t know. She asked him to drop his trousers, gave him a quick feel, picked up the intercom microphone and said. "One box of medium sized condoms, Till 5." A few customers back was this teenage boy, who thought that what he had seen was so cool. He had never had any type of sexual contact with a woman, and he thought "this is my chance." When he got to the checkout he told the girl that he needed some condoms. She asked him what size and he said that he didn’t know. She asked him to drop his trousers, reached over the counter, gave him a quick squeeze then picked up the Intercom and said….... "Mop and bucket, till 5."
