Scousers in Hell
Two guys from Liverpool die and wake up in hell. The devil stops in to check on them and sees them dressed in anoraks and hoodies warming themselves around the fire.
The devil asks, “Isn’t it hot enough for you?”
They reply, “'Well, we’re from Liverpool bud, and it’s always raining. We’re just happy for a chance to warm up a little bit and dry out eh”.
The devil decides they aren’t miserable enough and turns up the heat. The next morning, there they are, still in anoraks and hoodies.
The devil asks again, “It’s awfully hot down here, can’t you guys feel it?”
Again they reply, “Well, like we told ya, we’re from Liverpoo, it’s even wetter than Ireland, and we’re just happy for a chance to warm up and dry out a little, eh.”
This gets the devil steamed up. He cranks the heat up as high as it will go.
People are wailing and screaming. He finds the two scousers in light jackets, grilling sausages and drinking beer.
The devil is astonished. “Everyone down here is in misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourselves.”
The two scousers reply, “We don’t get much warm weather in Liverpool. We’ve just got to have a cook-out when the weather is THIS nice.”
The devil is furious, and decides to turn all the heat off in hell.
The next morning, icicles are everywhere, people are unable to do anything but wail, moan and gnash their teeth. The devil smiles. He finds the two scousers back in their anoraks and hoodies. But now they are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling & screaming like mad men!
The Devil is dumbfounded. “When I turn up the heat you’re happy. Now it’s freezing and you’re still happy. What is wrong with you two?”
The scousers look at the devil in surprise, “Don’t you know? If Hell freezes over, it must mean that Liverpool have won the Premiership!”
^^^there is one about the maple leafs the same way
A man and a woman were sitting beside each other in the first class section of an airplane.
The woman sneezed, took out a tissue, gently wiped her nose, groaned then visibly shuddered for
ten to fifteen seconds.
The man went back to his reading.
A few minutes later, the woman sneezed again, took a tissue, wiped her nose, groaned then shuddered violently
once more.
The man assumed that the woman might have Flu, though he was still curious
about the groaning & shuddering.
A few more minutes passed when the woman sneezed yet again.
As before she took a tissue, wiped her nose, groaning whilst her body shook even more than before.
Unable to restrain his curiosity, the man turned to the woman and said, “I couldn’t help but notice that you’ve sneezed three times, wiped your nose groaned and then shuddered violently. Are you ok?”
“I am sorry if I disturbed you, I have a very rare medical condition; whenever I sneeze I have an
orgasm.”
The man, more than a bit embarrassed, was still curious.
“I have never heard of that condition before” he said. “Are you taking anything for it?”
“Yes” The woman nodded, “Pepper.”
A man goes into an adult entertainment shop and asks the assistant for an inflatable doll.
Would you like male or female?"
Female, please.“Would you like Black, or White?”
White, please."
Would you like Christian or Muslim?"
This question confused the man . . . and he replied, “What has the religion got to do with it? It’s an inflatable doll!”
Well," explained the assistant, "The Muslim one blows itself up!
I have a joke. If you are offended, sorry in advance.
A hippie gets on a bus and there is this hot nun sitting there. He tries to get her to come to his place but has no luck. Eventually the nun gets off the bus and the hippie and the bus driver begin talking.
The bus driver says “hey I’ll tell you what I know. The nun goes to the graveyard every night at midnight to pray. I bet if you dressed up in a Jesus costume she would do whatever you wanted.” The hippie thanks him for the information and gets off the bus.
The hippie thinks this idea over and decides its a great idea, so he finds a costume and dresses up like Jesus. Sure enough the nun shows up at the graveyard at midnight to pray.
The hippie, dressed as Jesus, jumps out of the bushes and says “I am Jesus and I command you to have sex with me”
The nun thinks this over and says “alright but on one condition. It has to be a blowjob so that I don’t lose my virginity.”
The hippie thinks this over and decides that this is fine. After the blow job, the hippie rips off his Jesus mask and says “haha I am the hippie.”
The nun looks at him then takes off her mask. “haha I am the bus driver”
LITTLE BILLY ON GETTING OLDER
Little BILLY was sitting on a park bench munching on one candy bar after another.
After the 6th one, a man on the bench across from him said, “Son, you know eating all that candy isn’t good for you. It will give you acne, rot your teeth, and make you fat.”
Little BILLY replied, “My grandfather lived to be 107 years old.”
“Oh?” replied the man. “Did your grandfather eat 6 candy bars at a time?”
“No,” replied Little Billy, “he minded his own fucking business!!”

OK, NOW THIS IS GOLD
THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER!
Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other
day and you’ll love his reply to the lady who interviewed him
concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun
laws you got to love this!!! This is one of the best comeback lines
of all time. It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview
between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who
was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military
installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to
teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing,
archery, and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don’t see why, they’ll be properly supervised on
the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don’t you admit that this is a terribly dangerous
activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don’t see how. We will be teaching them proper
rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you’re equipping them to become violent
killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma’am, you’re equipped to be a prostitute, but
you’re not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
You gotta love the Marines!

THIS IS PRETTY FUNNY TOO
King Arthur was in Merlin’s laboratory where the great wizard was
showing him his latest creation. It was a chastity belt, except it had
a rather large hole in the most obvious place which made it basically
useless.
“This is no good, Merlin!” the King exclaimed, “Look at this opening.
How is this supposed to protect my lady, the Queen, when I’m on a long
quest?”
“Ah, sire, just observe,” said Merlin. He then selected his most worn
out wand, one that he was going to discard anyway. He inserted it in
the gaping aperture of the chastity belt whereupon a small guillotine
blade came down and cut it neatly in two.
“Merlin, you are a genius!” said the grateful monarch. “Now I can
leave, knowing that my Queen is fully protected.”
After putting Guinevere in the device, King Arthur then set out upon a
lengthy Quest.
Several years passed until he returned to Camelot. Immediately he
assembled all of his knights in the courtyard and had them drop their
trousers for an informal ‘short arm’ inspection.
Sure enough, each and everyone of them was either amputated or damaged
in some way. All of them, except Sir Galahad.
“Sir Galahad,” exclaimed King Arthur. “You are my one and only true
knight! Only you among all the nobles have been true to me. What is it
in my power to grant you? Name it and it is yours.”
But, alas, Sir Galahad was speechless.
