A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. ‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa.’ ‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz.’ A student asked, ‘What gender is ‘computer’?’ Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
There are two sides of the balance sheet: the left side and the right side.
On the left side, there is nothing right.
And on the right side, there is nothing left.

Origami Bank has folded. Sumo Bank has gone belly up.
Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches. Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song. Today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived. Samurai Bank are soldiering on following sharp cutbacks. Ninja Bank are reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.
It’s time again for the annual ‘Stella Awards’! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named
after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot
coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald’s in New Mexico where she purchased the coffee. You
remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it
between her knees while she was driving. Who would
ever think one could get burned doing that, right?
If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago they would now be worth £4.95.
With HBOS last week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50
£1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5.
BUT
If you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would be paid £214.

At Penn State University , there were four sophomores taking chemistry and all of them had an “A” so far. These four friends were so confident that the weekend before finals, they decided to visit some friends and have a big party.
They had a great time but, after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Penn State until early Monday morning.
Thanks to ‘Mike’ for these …

“Wonderful darling! What part did you get?"

A man walks into a bank, gets in line and when it is his turn he pulls out a gun … and robs the bank!!!
To make sure he leaves no witnesses, he turns around and asks the next customer in line: ‘Did you see me rob this bank?'
The customer replies: ‘YES!'
The bank robber raises his gun, POINTS IT & BANG!! SHOOTS HIM in THE HEAD AND KILLS HIM!

It seemed a little strange. When another waiter

Letter recently received at a problems page :Dear Kathy,
My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What’s worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating.
Also, since he lost his job six years ago, he hasn’t even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and bullshit with his buddies, while I have to work to pay the bills.
