Jokes / NEED A CHUCKLE?
« on: August 10, 2016, 04:14:45 PM »
NEED A CHUCKLE?
It was getting a little crowded in Heaven, so God decided to change
the admittance policy. The new law was that in order to get into
Heaven, you had to have a really bad day on the day that you died. The policy
would go into effect at noon the next day.
So, the next day at 12:01 the first person came to the gates of
Heaven. The Angel at the gate, remembering the new policy, promptly
asked the man, "Before I let you in, I need you to tell me how your day was
going when you died."
"No problem," the man said. "I came home to my 25th-floor apartment on
my lunch hour and caught my wife having an affair. But her lover
was nowhere in sight. I immediately began searching for him. My wife
was half naked and yelling at me as I searched the entire apartment.
Just as I was about to give up, I happened to glance out onto the
balcony and noticed that there was a man hanging off the edge by his
fingertips!
The nerve of that guy! Well, I ran out onto the balcony and stomped on
his fingers until he fell to the ground. But wouldn't you know it, he
landed in some trees and bushes that broke his fall and he didn't die.
This ticked me off even more. In a rage, I went back inside to get the
first heavy thing I could get my hands on to throw at him. Oddly
enough, the first thing I thought of was the refrigerator.
I unplugged it, pushed it out onto the balcony, and tipped it over the
side. It plummeted 25 stories and crushed him! The excitement of the
moment was so great that I had a heart attack and died almost
instantly."
The Angel sat back and thought a moment. Technically, the guy did have
a bad day. It was a crime of passion. So, the Angel announced, "OK,
sir.. Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and let him in.
A few seconds later the next guy came up. To the Angel's surprise, it
was Donald Trump. "Mr. Trump, before I can let you in, I need to hear
about what your day was like when you died."
Trump said, "No problem. But you're not going to believe this. I was
on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment doing my daily exercises. I
had been under a lot of pressure so I was really pushing hard to
relieve my stress. I guess I got a little carried away, slipped, and
accidentally fell over the side! Luckily, I was able to catch myself by the fingertips
on the balcony below mine. But all of a sudden this crazy man comes
running out of his apartment, starts cussing, and stomps on my
fingers. Well, of course I fell. I hit some trees and bushes at the
bottom, which broke my fall, so I didn't die right away. As I'm laying there face up on
the ground, unable to move and in excruciating pain,
I see this guy push his refrigerator of all things off the balcony. It
falls the 25 floors and lands on top of me, killing me.
The Angel is quietly laughing to himself as Trump finishes his story.
"I could get used to this new policy," he thinks to himself. "Very
well," the Angel announces. "Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and he
lets Trump enter.
A few seconds later, Bill Clinton comes up to the gate. The Angel is
almost too shocked to speak. Thoughts of assassination and war pour
through the Angel's head. Finally he says, "Mr. President, please tell
me what it was like the day you died."
Clinton says, "OK, picture this. I'm naked, inside a refrigerator......"

Sports Summit Opens in Nairobi
The inaugural edition of African Sports Business Association summit opened in Nairobi on Wednesday, with veteran Trinidadian coach Lincoln Phillips giving a tear-jerking account of how black athletes struggled through the race barrier in USA four decades ago.
Phillips, now an international sports entrepreneur, led the famous Howard University to the national collegiate football championships title in 1971, becoming the first black football coach to reach the national finals.
However, the all-black Howard University team was stripped of the title for allegedly fielding ineligible players, in a move seen to be discriminating against blacks in USA.
The forum is organised by US-based Mombi Thairu. Among the speakers at the two-day conference are Trinidadian Sheldon Phillips, Kenyan marketers Peter Gacheru and Paul Oyier along with veteran Nation Media Group journalist Waigwa Kiboi.
Lincoln Phillips represented Trinidad and Tobago in the 1976 Pan American Games’ football tournament with his nation winning a bronze medal.
He was then selected as one of the players to play professional football in Baltimore just as the USA launched its pro football league.
“It’s not how good you are but how hard you work,” Phillips told the audience on Thursday in his keynote address.
“We didn’t look at the white people badly at the time, but instead we sympathised with them because we knew they had a problem. That was the height of the civil rights movement.”
He also noted the importance of sport in personal development, saying although he was not quite university material, sport made him grow.
“I wanted to stay in the army and simply coach, but at the Pan-Am Games, I got exposed at many ways of getting an education and realised that you can use sport to get to where you want, and that’s when I added university education to my pro football contract.”

The Italian Gigolo
Joey at Confession:
Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl.' The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano?' 'Yes, Father, it is.' 'And who was the girl you were with?' 'I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation.' "Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?" 'I cannot say.' 'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?' 'I'll never tell.' 'Was it Nina Capelli?' 'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.' 'Was it Cathy Piriano?' 'My lips are sealed Father.' 'Well then, was it Rosa DiAngelo?' 'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'
The priest sighs in frustration. 'You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.' Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, 'What'd you get?' 'Four month's vacation and five excellent Leads.'
