DIETING TIP # 5
If you drink a diet coke
With a chocolate bar
They cancel each other
Out, so there you are
No calories count
For the chocolate bar
THE FOOTBALL ISN’T UP TO MUCH
The football isn’t up to much
We are all sensing doom
At half time the directors
Go off to the bored room
CINDERELLA’S TEAM IS BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE # 2
Cinderella’s team is bottom of the league
Though it’s no surprise at all
When the princess in waiting
Keeps running away from the ball
I GOT VERY DRUNK ON ST PATRICKS DAY
I got very drunk on St Patricks Day
So I took a bus home to save any fuss
This may not be a big deal to most
But I had never before driven a bus
YOU TOLD ME YOU’D SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE
“You told me you’d spend your whole life
Trying to make me proud to be your wife”
She said to him “So what went wrong?”
He replied “I didn’t know you’d live so long”
I FIND SURVEYS QUITE SURPRISING
I find surveys quite surprising
This result even surprised my cousin
Twelve out of thirteen people
Have never heard of a baker’s dozen
MY BROTHER HAS A WANDERING EYE
My brother has a wandering eye
He’s been that way since birth
Not surprisingly I suppose
He now lives in Letchworth
I WAS VITAL AND VIGOROUS
When I was young
I was vital and vigorous
But I was a stickler for rules
Strict and rigorous
But life passes in a flash
Life’s moments are the shortest
Because you go from
Rigorous to rigamortis
SHE THOUGHT I WAS THE ONE
When I married my wife
She thought I was the one
Now she thinks, on a scale
Of one to ten, I am a one
MY OPTICIAN HAS A GIFT FOR STATING THE OBVIOUS
My optician has a gift for stating the obvious
Either that or he’s not very bright
After the eye test he declared forthrightly
“Mr Hooper your left eye isn’t right”
THE EYE TEST WENT ON FOR AN AGE
The eye test went on for an age
In fact it was something of an ordeal
“Your right eye isn’t right” he said
Well I can tell you that was surreal
BACK TO BACK DVD’S
My wife and I really enjoy
Watching DVD’s back to back
But only one of us can see
The screen which is a drawback
I WAS RAISED AS AN ONLY CHILD
I was raised as an only child
By my father and mother
Which really pissed off
My sister and my brother
SOME YOUNGSTERS ARE BREAKING INTO CARS
Some youngsters are breaking into cars,
They are proper little devils,
They do it in multi-story car parks
And that’s wrong on so many levels
BACK FROM PORT OF SPAIN
I have just come back from
Trinidad’s Port of Spain
It was a once in a lifetime trip
I can only say, never again

A Little Bit Of Humour # 76
DIETING TIP # 4
When you eat with someone else
Anything consumed off their plate
Is calorie free, because they will
Cling to the other person’s plate
CANDY CRUSH
He is a bit of a technophobe
If I have to tell the truth
So he thinks Candy Crush
Is a stripper from his youth
ONE OF MY TEACHERS IS A RUNNER
One of my teachers is a runner
He does it fanatically
But I don’t have him for PE
I have him for Jog-raphy
FOGHORN LEGHORN
Foghorn Leghorn
Was sent off the field today
The referee claimed
It was for persistent fowl play
NO! YOU DON'T IRON FOUR LEAF CLOVERS
No! You don't iron four leaf clovers
That something you must never do
Because let’s be honest you don’t
Want to go pressing your luck do you
I’M SORRY I CAN'T BE YOUR VALENTINE
I’m sorry I can't be your valentine
I’m dumping you double quick
It’s on medical grounds in truth
Because you just make me sick
SHE WAS MARRIED TO HIM
She was married to him
For three years, just over
And didn't know he drank
Until he came home sober
HAPPINESS TRANSACTION
Money can't buy you happiness
Isn’t that supposed to be the deal?
Well I beg to differ, because
I bought myself a Happy Meal
A CHEESY TALE
My love life is like
A wheel of Swiss cheese I think
It’s full of holes
And the remainder tends to stink
A PHYSICAL JERK
I never take any form
Of physical exercise
I don’t want to be fit
If I see a jogger with
A smile on their face
Then I might try it
AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART
An affair of the heart
And at my age too
Well yes I know it’s
A bypass that’s true
AS THEY STOOD BEFORE THE ALTAR
As they stood before the altar
At the proudest moment of their life
The Reverend said “I now pronounce
You Husband and Wife”
“You may now update your Facebook status”
A MAN AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE
A man at the press conference,
Stood up at the podium,
Not one of the lycra clad blokes,
And declared he was spokesman
Asked to clarify he said
“I’m the man in charge of spokes”
MY GRANDDADS GREATEST PLEASURE
My granddads greatest pleasure
Was his allotment
So in his will he instructed
His son Peter
To sprinkle his ashes
Over the beloved plot
Lightly forking them in
At one ounce per square metre
MY NEW NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR,
My new next door neighbour,
It turns out, is a really pretentious twat
He has travelled quite a lot
So his house is named Bindair Dundat.

A Little Bit Of Humour # 75

It’s something to do with gravity
But anything you consume while you
Are standing up contains no calories
IT’S A SURE SIGN YOU HAVE LOST # 2
It’s a sure sign you have lost
Your sex appeal for certain
When your gynaecologist
Won’t examine you in person

Or just had more than your fair share
Well it’s a sure sign when your surgeon
Is an employee of Tupperware

Old Mother Goose,
When she wanted to wander,
Hitched up her dress
And let the men have a gander.
MY CROSS EYES TEACHER WAS SACKED
My cross eyed teacher was sacked
The governors have no scruples
They said it wasn’t her disability
But that she couldn't control her pupils
AT THIS YEAR’S INSECT SUPER BOWL
At this year’s insect Super Bowl
The quarterback played dismally
Rimsky-Korsakov dropped the ball
It was the plight of the fumble Bee
FOGHORN LEGHORN THE COCKEREL
Foghorn Leghorn the Cockerel
Is happy to be the farmyard hick
Not through a lack of ambition
But he’s never short of a hot chick

She came last and claimed she was cheated

On the North America continent
Was because they had reservations

Tell me what did Tennessee?
Was it the same thing Arkansas?
HALF OF ALL MARRIAGES
Half of all marriages
Will end in divorce
Which just leaves the
Unhappy ones of course
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE CLAPPED OUT
You know when you are clapped out
And not vital any more
When the doc tells you
To slow down instead of the law
ARE SAFARI PARKS DISCRIMINATORY?
Are Safari parks discriminatory?
Yes they most certainly are
Because they make no attempt
To accommodate those without a car
THE TEMPERATURE OF SEX
An old man was at the doctors
“I have a question you may think silly
Well after my wife and I have sex,
I'm usually cold and chilly
But then, after the second time
I'm usually hot and sweaty"
The doc replied “Well that is strange
Let’s discuss it with Betty”
The doctor repeated the tale
And she replied with disgust
"The first time is in January
And the second is in August"
APPARENTLY OWNING A DOG
Apparently owning a dog
Can take ten years of you
I now have four of them
But I still look sixty two
I don’t know all the science involved
It’s something to do with gravity

Are standing up contains no calories

In a cross breeding in which they would exult
Between a rabbit’s foot and a four leaf clover
Until a rash of good luck would be the result
BIMBETTE AND THE CAR POOL
Bimbette got locked out of her car
In the pouring rain
She had forgotten her keys
So went back in the house again
When she got in the car
She started to frown
The seats were soaked
Because the roof had been down
I WAS BEATEN UP BY A HULA HOOP
I was beaten up by a hula hoop
A round, bad-tempered fink
It was a totally unprovoked attack
It was a “vicious circle” I think

If botanist’s were to achieve success
A cross germination in which to exult
Between poison ivy and a four leaf clover
A rash of good luck would be the result

CINDERELLA’S TEAM IS BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE # 1

An almost instinctive ability
To do hat tricks effectively

With a smile across his face
Because the snow blower was
Heading towards his place
HERALDING ITS ARRIVAL
Heralding its arrival
A lone piper suitably bedecked

To the hosts table unchecked
It’s delivered to the supper
With such deferential respect
Then addressed and served
Not to eat it shows disrespect
Well if I’ve eaten anything fouler
Then I truly cannot recollect

New Year 2015
NEW YEARS RESOLUTION # 1
I was separated from my wife
Due to my serial infidelity
And found myself in bed again
With her best friend Felicity
It was on New Year’s Day
And Felicity asked me
“Did you make a resolution?
What was it? Go on tell me”
I replied “Not to be unfaithful
Ever again to my wife Pru”
As she climbed onto me she asked
“How’s that working out for you?”
NEW YEARS RESOLUTION # 2
I made a New Year’s resolution
To stop having one night stands
Which would be easier to do
If second dates were in my plans
NEW YEARS PICKUP # 1
When you’re on the pull
If you want to break the ice
Say something funny
Or say something nice
Be complimentary
Or just lie in your endeavour
Be devastatingly witty
Or say something clever
On New Year’s Eve
Before the bells begin to clang
Ask her if she wants to
Ring in the New Year with a bang?
ARE YOU WEARING A NEW YEARS OUTFIT?
Are you wearing a New Year’s outfit?
Well you really do look good in it
And it doesn’t look risqué, not a bit
It’s a really cracking little outfit
Though all the emphasis is on the fit
WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES
When the clock strikes
The midnight hour
One year ends
And another begins
With an explosion
Of pyrotechnic splendour
Lavishly ostentatious
Many thousands of pounds
Up in smoke
Is it really worth it?
Would it not be better spent?
On the homeless
And the lost
And so begin a new year
With new hope
THE YEAR IS TURNING
The year is turning, the cycle
Has made another revolution
It’s time once more to make
The obligatory resolution
Which is broken within days
But this year I have a solution
In order to make it last
I will not make a resolution
FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT
I want to kiss you
On December 31st
Before the clock strikes twelve
Until the last chime
Echoes in the night
Of January the first
So one year will come to an end
In the most amazing way
And the next will have
A beautiful beginning
I was separated from my wife

A Little Bit Of Humour # 72
A YOUNG WOMAN GOLFER
A young woman golfer had just started
Her round, when she was stung by a Bee,
It was so painful she abandoned the game
And returned to the clubhouse for sympathy
Her golf pro saw her as she returned
And wondered why she was back so early
So he went to ask her what was wrong
And she told him “'I was stung by a Bee”
“Oh dear, that’s awful” he said “Where?”
He was sympathetic right from the start
“Between the first and second hole”
She replied wincing at the stings smart.
He nodded knowingly and said
“Then your feet were too far apart”

Don’t rest upon your laurels
Once you’ve reached top
Because someone on the ladder
Is just waiting for you to drop
IF YOU EAT A BURGER
If you eat a burger
And it gives you the trots
You will probably find
It was horsemeat like as not
I LOVE IT WHEN WE BEAT THE AUSSIES
I love it when we beat the Aussies
It’s a bit of a passion of mine
Because they are such bad losers
I’m way up on cloud nine
I like to ask them, “Would you like
Some cheese with that whine?”
A young woman golfer had just started
Her round, when she was stung by a Bee,
It was so painful she abandoned the game
And returned to the clubhouse for sympathy
Her golf pro saw her as she returned
And wondered why she was back so early
So he went to ask her what was wrong
And she told him “'I was stung by a Bee”
“Oh dear, that’s awful” he said “Where?”
He was sympathetic right from the start
“Between the first and second hole”
She replied wincing at the stings smart.
He nodded knowingly and said
“Then your feet were too far apart”
THE OFFER THAT SWUNG THE VOTE
The offer that swung the vote
On the recent referendum day
Was lowering healthy portions
From five, to three a day
TO UNDERSTAND DISABILITY
To understand disability, you should
Put yourself in their place
You might want to start by using
A disabled Parking space
AFRICA HAS ITS PROBLEMS
Africa has its problems
With the outbreak of Ebola
But spare a thought for
Every Little Englander
Who is exposed every
Summer to Tombola
DR WHO IS VERY, VERY OLD
Dr Who is very, very old
Even for a time traveller
And I think he is also
Suffering from Dimensia
CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION
Crime Scene Investigation
Better known as CSI
Has been on the air so long
It should be renamed RSI
MY COUSIN IS A LOOKALIKE
My cousin is a lookalike,
He’s a dead ringer
For Prince Harry Wales
He’s a Doppelginger
TOFU GATEAUX
For my birthday my kids
Bought me a Tofu Gateaux
Which was as much use to me
As a slinky in a bungalow
POLITICIANS PRETEND
Politicians pretend to
Represent the people
But in reality, they
See us merely as Sheople
DON’T REST UPON YOUR LAURELS
Don’t rest upon your laurels
Once you’ve reached top
Because someone on the ladder
Is just waiting for you to drop
IF YOU EAT A BURGER
If you eat a burger
And it gives you the trots
You will probably find
It was horsemeat like as not
I LOVE IT WHEN WE BEAT THE AUSSIES
I love it when we beat the Aussies
It’s a bit of a passion of mine
Because they are such bad losers
I’m way up on cloud nine
I like to ask them, “Would you like
Some cheese with that whine?”
