7 Joint Meeting with Rotary Club of Rockingham Monday 24 th August 2015

10 A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend A successful woman is one who can find such a man Two blondes walk into a building...you'd think at least one of them would have seen it. A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only Clingfilm for shorts.. The shrink says, "Well, I can clearly see you're nuts." Phone answering machine message - "If you want to buy marijuana, press the hash key" I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any. My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled him in. Mick and Paddy were walking home from the pub. Mick says to Paddy, 'I can t be bothered to walk all that way.' 'I know,' says Paddy, 'but we've no money for a cab and we've missed the last bus home.' 'We could steal a bus from the depot,' Mick suggests. They arrive at the bus depot and Mick tells Paddy to go in and get a bus while he keeps a look-out. After shuffling around for ages, Mick shouts, 'Paddy, what are you doing? Have you not found one yet?' Paddy shouts back, 'I can t find a No. 91' I can only see a No 14 'Oh Be Jeysus, ye thick sod, take the No. 14 and we'll walk from the roundabout.
