December Humour

THE SAILOR

There was a young sailor from Rothesay
Sailed his yacht around the bay of Biscay
But a storm sunk his boat 
He's no longer afloat
And the wind blew his life raft away... 

EDWARD GUMP

A parachutist called Edward Gump
Went up in a plane to do a jump
The ripcord got stuck
He said "just my luck" 
Hit the ground with one helluva bump... 

FREDDIE

Did you hear about old Freddie O'Toole 
Considered to be a bit of a fool
Hee waznt two brite
Cudent reed ur rite
That is what happens when you bunk off school..

ICELAND

Now Iceland has some unusual sights 
 P*n*s. museum and the northern lights
The museum for the bold
The lights a sight to behold 
Which ever you choose enjoy their delights... 

TOO MANY TO MENTION

Old father time moves too quickly I fear
I hope you all have plenty of good cheer 
Whatever you do
I'd like to wish you
Merry Christmas and a happy new year... 


Iceland has a museum dedicated to the male anatomy,
mainly animals but a man in the U. S. is donating his 
manhood when his time is up.
