A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey, I have been asked to fly to Canada with my boss and several of his friends for fishing.. We'll be gone for a long weekend. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so could you please pack enough clothes for a 3 day weekend"..... And also would you get out my rod and tackle box from the attic ? We're leaving at 4:30 pm from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up.. 'Oh! And please pack my new navy blue silk pajamas..' The wife thinks this sounds a bit odd, but, being the good wife, She does exactly what her husband asked. …

Spring time An elderly man was walking through the French countryside, admiring the beautiful spring day, when over a hedgerow he spotted a young couple making love in a field. Getting over his initial shock he said to himself, "Ah, young love... ze spring time, ze air, ze flowers... C'est magnifique!", and continued to watch, remembering the good old day's that he'd once enjoyed. Suddenly he gasped and said, "Mais... Sacre bleu! Ze woman she is dead!" before heading off as fast as he could to the town to tell Jean, the police chief. He arrived at the Police Station, out of breath, and shouted, "Jean...Jean...zere is zis man, zis woman ... naked in farmer G…

It is widely accepted that the UK Motorcycle Police are the best trained riders in the world (not least by the UK Police!), this has forged a link between what these guys do and the normal civilian riders in the form of the IAM and ROPSPA. So in the UK we have Civilian Advanced Riders who have trained and passed examinations that lead to the coverted 'Advanced Rider' status. Personally I feel that this is normal riding not advanced, and those that do not ride to this standard are 'learning' (you can still ride to the standard without taking the test). So, here in the UK there are bodies who will teach you and help you to improve your riding (or driving) to the benifit …

I recently decided to make an excellent change in brand, from a Suzuki to a Yamaha. Not trying to say that Suzi's are bad bike, because my Suzi brought a lot of pleasure to me. But this Yamaha FJ1200 is special. I bought from my girlfriends bad for a give away price and it's in mint condition and totally original. Any comment about the FJ?????

So you're a senior citizen and the government says no health care for you, what do you do? Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 Members of Parliament and 2 Members of the House of Lords. Of Course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head, and all the health care you need! New teeth, no problem. Need glasses, great. New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered. And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care. Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes any…

Teacher asks the class to name things that end with "Tor" that eats things. The first little boy says "Alligator", Miss. "Very Good, that's a big word." The second boy says "Predator", Miss. "Yes, that's another big word, well done." The third boy says "Vibrator", Miss. After nearly falling off her chair she says "That's a big word, but it doesn't eat anything." "Well my sister has one and she say's it eats batteries like there's no tomorrow."

It's pretty realistic. Just wait for it to load, then use arrow keys to control the car.

This bike has me completely stuck sometimes. I love her, but trying to find parts to fit is extremely time consuming. I had to replace the front forks and wheel after a slight 'accident' and have eventually got it back on the road. The forks were slightly annoying to source but manageable. Then I got a wheel through ebay that fitted perfectally until it was being fitted and it was found that the bearings were the wrong size and apparently impossible to buy! However, now one of my back shocks have blown and realise the other will more than likely go soon and want to find some new ones as soon as humanly possible. Does anyone know of any shocks from ano…
