A beautiful fairy appeared one day to an immigrant claimant outside the Social Security Offices. 'My good man,' the fairy said, 'I've been told to grant you three wishes, since you’ve just arrived in England with your wife and seven children.' The man told the fairy: 'Well, in Pakistan where I come from we don't have good teeth, so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them.' The fairy looked at the man's almost toothless grin and --PING!!! He had a brand new shining set of gold teeth in his mouth! 'What else?' asked the fairy, 'two, more wishes, to go'. The refugee claimant now got bolder. 'I need a big house with a three car garage in Birm…

A TV INTERVIEW WHICH WAS NEVER AIRED IN THE UK .... You know there are so many TV channels, each starved of new programs. In a rural program for farmers, a female TV reporter seeking the main cause of Mad Cow disease, arranged for an interview with a farmer who may have some theories on the matter ... The interview was as follows: The lady reporter: "I am here to collect information on the possible sources of Mad Cow Disease. Can you offer any reason for this disease?" The farmer stared at the reporter and said: "Do you know that a bull mounts a cow only once a year?" Reporter (obviously embarrassed) : "Well, sir, that's a new piece of information.…

I need to know if there is anyone that can help me. I own a 1986 yamaha radian 600 I just bought a 1990 yamaha radian 600. My question is can I swap motors from the 1990 to the 1986 if so what possibly will be the difference between the two if any. I already know that the wiring is different. But what else is different if any.
