NOAH'S ARK - THE REBUILD

In the year 2007 the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in England and said "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me.  Build me another Ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good humans".

 

He gave Noah the drawing, saying "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights".

 

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark.    "Noah" he roared, "I'm about to start the rain!   Where is the Ark?

 

"Forgive me, Lord" begged Noah, "but things have changed.   Although I had no problem getting Outline Planning Permission to build it on a flood plain, I need Building Regulations Approval and I've been arguing with the Fire Brigade about the need for a sprinkler system.   My neighbours claim that I should have obtained planning permission to build the Ark in my garden because it is development of the site, even though in my view it is a temporary structure.   We then had to go to appeal to the Secretary of State for a decision.

 

Then the Department of Transport demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea.   I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.

 

Getting the wood was another problem.   All the decent trees have Tree Preservation Orders on them and we live in a Site of Special Scientific Interest set up in order to protect the spotted owl.   I tried to convince the environmentalists that I need the wood to save the owls - but no go!

 

When I started gathering the animals, the RSPCA sued me.   They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will.   They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.

 

Then the County Council, the Environment Agency and the Rivers Authority ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.   I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Equal Opportunities Commission on how many disabled Polish carpenters I'm supposed to hire for my building team.

 

The Trades Unions say I can't use my sons.   They insist I have to hire only accredited workers with Ark building experience.

 

To make matters worse, HM Revenue & Customs seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to flee the country illegally with endangered species.   So, forgive me, Lord, but it will take at least 10 years for me to finish the Ark".

 

Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.

 

Noah looked up in wonder and asked "You mean you're not going to destroy the world"

 

"No" said the Lord.   It looks like Blair and Brown have beat me to it.

FIRST TIME IN A PLANE

Jimmy is about to fly for the very first time and he is a nervous wreck.   He is strapped into his seat, when the cockpit door opens.  The pilot enters the passenger section and with the aid of a white stick, tip-taps down the aisle.  Jimmy is mortified and when the pilot reaches him, he stops him and asks "Excuse me are you our pilot" to which the pilot replies "Yes".   "But your blind" says Jimmy.   "Oh don't worry about that" says the pilot.   "Don't worry" says Jimmy "How the hell can you fly this plane, when your blind".   "Easy" says the pilot "I have a co-pilot and he does all the pre-flight checks, taxis the plane down the runway, when we get to 200mph he hands over to me, and I take off"   "OK" says Jimmy "but how do you know exactly when to take off".   The pilot replies "Well being blind God has compensated me by giving me extra sensitive hearing, and when I hear all the passengers scream Fu....g Hell, I pull back the joystick.

INLAND REVENUE AUDIT PADDY

The Inland Revenue decides to audit Paddy, and summons him to an appointment with the top auditor in the office.  The auditor is not surprised when Paddy show up with his solicitor.   The auditor says "Well, sir, you have an extravagent lifestyle and no fulltime employment, which you explain by saying that you win money by gambling.   I'm not sure the Inland Revenue finds that believable".   "I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it", says Paddy.   "How about a demonstration?".   The auditor thinks for a moment and says "Okay, your on".   Paddy says "I'll bet you a £1000 that I can bite my own eye".   Thye auditor says "No way! It's a bet".   Paddy removes his glass eye and bites it.   The auditor's jaw drops.   Paddy says "Now, I'll bet you £2000 that I can bite my other eye".   The auditor can see Paddy isn't blind, so he takes the bet.   Paddy removes his dentures and bites his good eye.   The stunned auditor realises he has now lost £3000. with Paddy's solicitor as a witness.   "Would you like to go double or quits?" Paddy asks.   "I'll bet you £6000 that I can stand on one side of you desk and pee into that rubbish bin on the other side, and not a drop will land anywhere but in the bin"   The auditor is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way Paddy can manage that stunt, so he agrees.   Paddy stand beside the desk, unzips his trousers and strains like hell.   But he can't make the stream reach the bin and almost all the urine lands on the auditors desk.   The auditor leaps with joy, realising that he has turned a major loss into a big win.   But Paddy's solicitor moans and puts his head in his hands.  "Are you okay?" the auditor asks.   "Not really" says the solicitor "This morning, when Paddy told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me £20,000 that he could come in here and piss all over your desk, and that you would be happy about it.
