Man on a Bridge!

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off.
I immediately ran over and said "Stop! Don't do it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
"Like what?"
"Well ... are you religious or atheist?"
"Religious."
"Me too! Are you Christian or Jewish?"
"Christian."
"Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
"Protestant."
"Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
"Baptist."
"Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of theLord?"
"Baptist Church of God."
"Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"
"Reformed Baptist Church of God."
"Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?"
"Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!"
To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.

An early start.

Great to be up and dressed nice and early.  You know, 10 am.  Can't push these things you know...

This is how my niece Charlotte sees me - a rather good likeness, don't you think?

A funny joke...

A smart, well-dressed woman was walking down the street when a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman asked her for a couple of quid for dinner.

The woman took out her purse and fished out a tenner* and asked: ‘If I give you this money will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?’
‘No, I had to stop drinking years ago,’ the homeless woman replied.

‘Well, would you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?’ the smart woman asked.
‘No, I don’t waste my time shopping,’ the homeless woman replied. ‘I need to spend all my time just trying to stay alive.’

‘Will you spend the money on a beauty salon session instead of food?’ the woman asked.
‘Are you NUTS?’ replied the homeless woman. I haven’t had my hair done in 20 years! '

The smart woman thought for a moment and then said: ‘I’m not going to give you the money. Instead, I’m going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.’
The homeless woman was shocked. ‘But won’t your husband be furious with you for doing that? I’m dirty and I probably smell pretty disgusting and my table manners are appalling.’

‘That’s okay,’ replied the smart woman. ‘It’s important for him to see what happens to a woman if she gives up shopping, hair appointments, and good wine.’
