I was talking to my mate about politics the other day and he said, "I've half a mind to becoming a politician myself".
I said, "Well - you are two-thirds of the way there already".
So how much of a mind do you need to become a politician?

OK! If 3 defenders are worth the same as 7 forwards and £1 is worth 2700L (That's 2700 Lire to all you Italian football managers). Convert the 10 defenders I bought for 50,000,000L to the number of forwards I can buy for £1,000,000. |

Rod Stewart was walking around an airport lounge when he espied a young girl asleep. "Wake up Maggie," he said. When she did , she started to cry. "This old heart of mine can't take this," he said; "What's up?" "I've lost my airline ticket and can't get home," she said. "Tonight's the night," he said. "I can drop you off in my new aeroplane." "But you don't know where I am going," she said. "What am I gonna do?" he said. "Where I'm going I can drop you off without going out of my way." So, where on earth was he going? |

This monk decided to visit a neighbouring monastery a few miles up the mountain. ( I visited a monastery once - I found it lacked a woman's touch). He set off at dawn walking along the path that led to the other monastery. He would often stop to admire the view and take refreshment. He arrived as the sun cast a crimson shadow over the distant hills. (Nice huh?). He was given the usual hospitality and the shown to his bed. There he slept soundly till late into the next morning. He awoke, took breakfast and skipped down the path (he was a-hipping and a-hopping) arriving home at 5.30 p.m. What are the chances of the monk being at exactly the same spot on the path at exactly the same time on the two journeys? |
