Hi all Well The Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt, in what some critics are calling the best action film in recent years. They're expecting an opening weekend in the 65 - 75 M$ Stateside, which would not only be the largest for the franchise but also for any Tom Cruise film. For something a lot less hectic we have Adrift, mainly a two-hander on a boat adrift on the ocean. The kiddies are spoilt with two animated offerings, neither of which has had a US release yet. First up is the TV-to-cinema switch for Teen Titans, and then episode three of the Russian-made Snow Queen series. The art circuit has a French domestic post-divorce rom-com, while the local industry rolls out another episode in the Broken Promises comedy series. So a rather crowd-pleasing weekend lineup. There's also the African Film Festival running at Musgrave and Gateway.

Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent. 2. A set of jump leads walk into a bar. The bartender says, 'I'll serve you, but don't start anything.' 3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted. 4. A dyslexic man walks into a bra. 5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm, and says to the barman: 'A beer please, and one for the road.' 6. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: 'Does this taste funny to you?' 7. 'Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.' 'That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome.' 'Is it common ?' 'Well, It's Not Unusual.' 8. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, 'I was artificially inseminated this morning.' 'I don't believe you,' says Dolly. 'It's true; no bull!' exclaims Daisy. 9. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either. 10. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before. 11. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day, but I couldn't find any. 12. A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, 'Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs !' The doctor replied, 'I know you can't - I've cut off your arms !' 13. I went to a seafood disco last week... and pulled a mussel. 14. What do you call a fish with no eyes ? A fsh. 15. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says, 'Dam !' 16. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were a bit cold, so they lit a fire in the craft. It sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too. 17. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse. 'But why,' they asked, as they moved off. 'Because,' he said, 'I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer.' 18. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt , and is named 'Ahmal.' The other goes to a family in Spain ; they name him 'Juan.' Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, 'They're twins ! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal.' 19. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) ...... A super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. 20 And finally, there was the person who sent twenty different puns to her friends, with the hope that at least ten of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pilots and aircraft service engineers... P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
