    I don't think this has appeared on this thread before - forgive me if it has.

    Husband: I overheard the butcher say he'd slept with every woman in our road except one

    Wife: Ha! That'll be that stuck-up cow at no 27.

      Thankyou Richard, when I heard it it was the milkman!

      As in the time I came home very early from work, found my wife on her hands and knees tidying the cupboard under the sink. So I patted her bottom and she said "Two pints please!"

      Regards Ant

          There used to be a rather dreadful "invalid car", three wheeler, fibreglass, only in pale blue I suspect, available for deserving cases. I knew a young lady who had managed to overturn three of them and she always referred to "the exhilarator pedal" and I could never be sure if it was a clever joke or not. I think not!

          Regards Ant
          delightful!

              If we're onto malapropisms, a colleague of my late father once mentioned, in the context of hospitals, the paedriatic department.

                Hello all,

                A gentleman I knew often mixed-up his syllables, one day he was telling me about his favourite musician, Mantanavi. His son-in-law standing nearby nearly wet himself when I said "Mantanavi? Is he that famous vionilist?" and he confirmed yes, that was him!

                Regards Ant

                  Once an elderly patient of mine complained that although she felt much better now her anaemia had been treated, she could not face eating any more raw liver.

                  I had actually advised that she should eat more liver

                  Pacta sunt servanda !!!

                    Nice one Flay, perhaps she remembered that in her youth raw liver was the only treatment for pernicious anaemia.

                      Sounds like her hearing might have needed testing as well...

                            Reminds me of the story in the local paper (from a West of Scotland town, not famed for the erudition of its inhabitants) about a young man who took a prescription to a the pharmacist, stole a charity collection tin from the counter, and was apparently very surprised to find the police awaiting his arrival when he got home.

                                BUNNINGS JOB APPLICATION

                                This is an actual job application that a 75-year-old pensioner submitted to Bunnings,
                                a major hardware store in Burleigh Heads.
                                They recruited him because he was so funny....

                                NAME:
                                Kenneth Way (Grumpy Bastard)

                                SEX:
                                Not lately, but I am looking for the right woman (or at least one who will cooperate)

                                DESIRED POSITION:
                                Company's Chief Executive or Managing Director. But seriously, whatever's available.
                                If I was in a position to be picky, I wouldn't be applying in the first place - would I?

                                DESIRED SALARY:
                                £150,000 a year plus share options and a Julia Gillard style redundancy package.
                                If that's not possible, make an offer and we can haggle.

                                EDUCATION:
                                Yes.

                                LAST POSITION HELD:
                                Target for middle management hostility.

                                PREVIOUS SALARY:
                                A lot less than I'm worth.

                                MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT:
                                My incredible collection of stolen pens and post-it notes.

                                REASON FOR LEAVING:
                                It was a crap job.

                                HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK:
                                Any.

                                PREFERRED HOURS:
                                1:30 - 3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

                                DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?:
                                Yes, but they're better suited to a more intimate environment.

                                MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?:
                                If I had one, would I be here'?

                                DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITONS THAT WOULD
                                PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 45lbs.?:
                                Of what?

                                DO YOU HAVE A CAR?:
                                I think the more appropriate question here would be "Do you have a car that runs?"

                                HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITON?:
                                I may already be a winner of the Reader's Digest Timeshare Free Holiday Offer,
                                so they tell me.

                                DO YOU SMOKE?:
                                On the job - no! On my breaks - yes!

                                WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?:
                                Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy Swedish supermodel with big boobs and
                                who thinks I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread.
                                Actually, I'd like to be doing that now.

                                NEAREST RELATIVE?:
                                12 miles

                                DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE
                                TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?:
                                Oh yes. absolutely.

                                --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                After landing my new job as a Bunnings "Greeter" -
                                a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day . . . . .

                                About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud,
                                unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her
                                two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

                                As I had been instructed, I said, pleasantly,
                                "Good morning and welcome to Bunnings."
                                I then said, "Nice children you have there. Are they twins?"

                                The woman stopped yelling long enough to say,
                                "No, they ain't effin twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7,
                                why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just effin stupid?"

                                I replied, "I'm neither blind nor stupid, Madam. I just couldn't believe
                                someone shagged you twice....
                                Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Bunnings."

                                My supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work.
