Re: Funny Pics / Funny Stories
Gérard I think that in today's world there are two key words "adaptability and flexibility". Everything is changing so fast ! you have to cope with the changes.life is like jazz: better to improvise; other people would say life is the opposite: better to organize everything, be prepared to the situation to come instead of discovering at the last moment

Taken from Facebook (Dawn French Fan Club):
(good new vocabulary hey!)A farmer goes to a livestock dealer and buys an anvil, a bucket, two chickens, and a goose.
The farmer looks at his purchases and says, "Damn, I walked here. How am I gonna carry all this home?"
The livestock dealer said, "Why don't you put the anvil in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?"
"Hey, thanks!" the farmer said, and off he went.
While walking home he met a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to 1515 Mockingbird Lane?"
The farmer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, I live just down the road from there. Let's take my shortcut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time."
The little old lady said, "I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and ravish me?"
The farmer said, "Holy smokes lady! I am carrying a bucket, an anvil, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?"
She replied, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the anvil on top of the bucket... and I'll hold the chickens."

A Policeman was drilling 3 blondes, who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect,
he shows the 1st blonde a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it.
"This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"
The first blonde answers: "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye"
The policeman says "Well... Uh... that's because the picture shows his profile."
Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asked her "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"
The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says "Ha! He'd be easy to catch because he only has one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and ear are showing because it's a picture of his profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with?"
Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" He adds quickly "... think hard before giving a stupid answer."
The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says "Hmmm... the suspect is wearing contact lenses."
The policeman is surprised and speechless, because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer... wait here for a few minutes while I check his file, and I'll get back to you on that."
He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspect's file in his computer and comes back with a beaming smile on his face. "I can't believe it... it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contacts lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?"
"That's easy" the blonde replied. "He can't wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!"

Re: Funny Pics / Funny Stories
There was a man who walked into a police office in Kentucky and wanted to apply as a police officer.
The Human Resources person said that he had to answer three questions.
First question was what two days of the week start with a T. The man answered, "Today and Tomorrow." The HR person said, "Well, that is not exactly right.
Lets try the second question. What is 1+1?" The man answered, "11". The HR person stated again, "Well, that is not exactly right, but
I am going to give you one more question and this time I want you to go home and think about it and then come back tomorrow and let me know your answer. Who killed President Lincoln?"
So the guy goes home and finds his wife cooking in the kitchen. She asks him if he got the job and he said, "I must have. They gave me my first murder investigation."

Re: Funny Pics / Funny Stories
Hi Muriel,
"Hardcore" means tough.
The word "pain" exists in both languages but with different meanings.
Which is "funny" is that the French word is known in the US so they understand the meaning (bread) but also think of the meaning in English (ache).

Re: Funny Pics / Funny Stories
Pls note the way Americans cope with the problem.
In France, people usually try to hide the issue and suffer in silence and sometimes depress.
In the US/UK, they prefer to laugh with friends and can finally do with easily.
American ladies seem not to care about their overweight; their attitude is sometimes excessive as if they were proud - when French girls are desperate about 500g in excess, Americans don't till 30 extra kg.
This said, French girls are more active re their fight and Americans/Brits/everyone-in-the-western-world admire French ladies who are so slim (they don't even try to understand why and how, they just think French girls are blessed by gods - they don't realize it's a permanent pain).

The next day she comes home to find her husband in bed with a beautiful redhead. She grabs the gun and holds it to her own head.
The husband jumps out of bed, begging and pleading with her not to shoot herself.
Hysterically, the blonde responds to the husband, ”Shut up… you’re next!”

This is a joke told by Sir James Galway:
This is a joke told by Sir James Galway:
The Pope comes in one day and says to his cardinals: "It seems the Jews have challenged us to golf."
The cardinals protest that they're no good at golf, and say: "Why don't we ask Jack Nicklaus to become an honorary cardinal, then he can play for the Vatican?"
So Jack Nicklaus goes out and plays the game, and comes back with his head in his hands.
"What's wrong?" the Pope asked.
"Well, it was OK at the start," said Nicklaus. "But did you ever hear of Rabbi Tiger Woods?"

Two factory workers are talking.
The woman says, "I can make the boss give me the day off."
The man replies, "And how would you do that?"
The woman says, "Just wait and see." She then hangs upside down from the ceiling.
The boss comes in and says, "What are you doing?"
The woman replies, "I'm a light bulb."
The boss then says, "You've been working so much that you've gone crazy. I think you need to take the day off."
The man starts to follow her and the boss says, "Where are you going?"
The man says, "I'm going home, too. I can't work in the dark."

Woman Hears Husband Crying And Gets Huge Surprise
We found the following story floating around on the web. Even though it's fiction, we found ourselves in stitches after reading it, so we think you'll enjoy it too!
What did you think of this story? If you liked it, be sure to share it with your friends!She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of hot cocoa in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.
She watches as he wipes away a tear from his eye.
"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room.... "Why are you down here at this time of night!?"
The husband looks up from his drink, "It's the 20th Anniversary of the day we met."
She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up.
The husband continues, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we started dating? I was 18 and you were only 15," he said solemnly.
Once again, the wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring and sensitive.
"Yes, I do" she replies.
The husband pauses....... The words were not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?"
"Yes, I remember" said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continued. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter or I will make sure you spend the next 20 years in prison?'"
"I remember that, too" she replied softly...
He sighed as he wiped another tear away from his cheek and said, "I would have gotten out today."

There's a little boy who loves tractors.
On his 17th birthday, his mother gives him a trip to a tractor fair, but he gets badly injured, leading to a lengthy stay in hospital. He says he's never going near tractors again.
Years later, he's in a bar when he catches the eye of a beautiful young lady. She's crying, and he asks her what her trouble is.
She replies: " It's the smoke".
He thinks: 'What can I do to make this better?' He then blows, which stops her crying.
She asks him how he did it and he says: "Well I'm an ex-tractor fan."
