Newsletter and jokes 22 April 2016


 
Hi all 
 
We're about to have some weather here in the Cape ...  
 
Anway over at the movies, it's a mixed bag. This week's big release was not 
so well received overseas, it may perform better here, while the film that 
WAS well received is getting a smaller rollout. Go figure :-) 
 
There's also a new Afrikaans film from Darrell Roodt, regret have not seen 
the reviews but it has already won an award. 
 
I've made a few tweaks to the site, let me know if anything is broken on 
your end, I can't test on every possible platform. 
 
Also note that due to the public holidays and excessive school days off next 
week, the new movies are opening next Wednesday. 
 
There are previews at selected venues next Tuesday for Mother's Day ... see  
the Previews page and remember to book.

Just Think - If Trump wins the election it'll be the first time in history 
that a billionaire moved into public housing vacated by a black family!

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, 
This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you. 
 
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, 
then calls the boy over and asks, - Which do you want, son? 
 
The boy takes the quarters and leaves. 
 
What did I tell you? said the barber. That kid never learns! 
 
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of 
the ice cream store. 
 
Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead 
of the dollar bill? 
 
The boy licked his cone and replied, Because the day I take the dollar, the 
game is over!

Hi Bill, 
 
This is Alan next door. I'm sorry buddy, but I have a confession to make 
to you. I've been riddled with guilt these past few months and have been 
trying to get up the courage to tell you to your face, but I am at least 
now telling in text as I can't live with myself a moment longer without 
you knowing. The truth is, I have been sharing your wife, day and night, 
when you're not around. In fact, probably more than you. I haven't been 
getting it at home recently, but that's no excuse I know. The temptation 
was just too much... I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you 
will accept my sincerest apologies and forgive me. I promise that it won't 
happen again. Please come up with a fee for usage, and I'll pay you. 
 
Regards, Alan. 
 
THE REACTION: 
 
Bill, feeling insulted and betrayed, grabbed his gun, and shot his neighbor 
dead. He returned home where he poured himself a stiff drink and sat down 
on the sofa. He took out his phone where he saw he has a subsequent message 
from his neighbor. 
 
THE SECOND MESSAGE: 
 
Hi Bill, This is Alan next door again. Sorry about the slight typo on my 
last text. I know you'll have figured it out anyway, but I'm sure you 
noticed that my darned spell-check auto correct changed "WiFi" to 
"Wife". Technology hey?!? 
 
Hope you saw the funny side of that. 
 
Regards, Alan.

A man returns from a trip to Shanghai and is feeling very ill. He goes to 
see his doctor and is immediately rushed to the hospital to undergo a 
series of tests. The man wakes up after these tests in a private room at 
the hospital and the phone by his bed rings. 
 
"This is your doctor," says the voice on the phone. "We have the results 
back from your test and... I'm sorry, you have an extremely contagious 
deadly disease known as G.A.S.H." 
 
"G.A.S.H?" replies the man. "What in the hell is that?" 
 
"It's a combination of Gonorrheae, AIDS, SARS and Herpes," explains the 
doctor. "My gosh, Doc!" screams the man in a panic, "what are we going to 
do?" 
 
"Well, we're going to put you on a strict diet of Pizza, Pancakes, 
Quesadillas and Pita bread," says the doctor matter-of-factly. 
 
"Will that cure me?" 
 
"Well, no," says the doctor, "but it's the only food that will fit under 
the door."

A bloke loses both his ears in a particularly vicious rugby scrum. They get 
trampled into the ground and no-one can find them. He visits a plastic 
surgeon pleading for new ears. The surgeon says "I have no donor parts at 
the moment to construct you some new ears, I'm afraid". 
 
The bloke pleads with him to sort something out. The surgeon says that he 
has two odd ears, one from a lurcher dog and one from a pig. 
 
"It'll look a little weird" says the surgeon, "but they're better than 
nothing at all." 
 
The bloke agrees and has the surgery. He returns to see the surgeon a 
fortnight later to tell him how it's going. 
 
"This one," the bloke says pointing to the lurcher ear, "is bloody amazing. 
I can hear people whistling five miles away!" 
 
"But this one" he says pointing to the pigs ear, "has a bit of cracklin' in 
it!"
