    Well, as much pain as it might have caused, it is far better that you landed on your back, than on your frontside. Not being able to run for a year, pales in comparison than not being able to...... :)

    What A Coincidence...

    A chicken farmer went into a local tavern and took a seat at the bar next to a woman patron and orders a glass of champagne.

    The woman perks up and says " How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!"

    He turned to her and said, "What a coincidence. This is a special day for me, I'm celebrating."

    "This is a special day for me, too, and I'm also celebrating!" says the woman.

    "What a coincidence." says the man.

    They clinked glasses and he asked, "What are you celebrating?"

    "My husband and I have been trying to have a child. Today, my gynaecologist told me I'm pregnant!"

    "What a coincidence." says the man. "I'm a chicken farmer. For years all my hens were infertile, but today they're finally fertile."

    "That's great!" says the woman, "How did your chickens become fertile?"

    "I switched cocks." he replied.

    "What a coincidence," she said.

    Motorist admits speeding at 172mph


    A motorist has pleaded guilty to driving at 172mph on a rural A-road, making him the fastest speeder ever caught in Britain.

    Tim Brady, 33, was caught in a random speed check on the A420 near Abingdon, Oxfordshire, driving a �98,000 3.6-litre Porsche 911 Turbo in January this year.

    The current highest speed to result in a conviction is 156mph.

    @greensman:
    I'm surprised you knew that LOL! How did you know that? It's very "South Philly" where absolutely everybody speaks like Sylvester Stallone! At least one can understand a south philly accent though. There is one part of philly in particular where speech should come with subtitles ... a rather extreme accent where I can only compare it to english and cockney. I wish there was a way to imitate it here!

    @billyboy ... I've got the perfect girl for you:

    "It's that time of year to take our annual MEMBERS test."

    Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As
    we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it,
    you
    lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of
    intelligence.

    There are only 5 questions, so don't get all excited and confused yet.

    Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not.
    The spaces between the question and answers below are there so you don't see
    the
    correct answers until you've made your answer.


    OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.



    1. What do you put in a toaster?















    Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," maybe you should give up now and
    do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to
    Question



    2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?














    Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," maybe you shouldn't even
    attempt to answer the next question. Your brain is apparently over-stressed
    and
    may even overheat.

    Content yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Auto
    World. However, if you said "water", proceed to question 3.



    3. If a red house is made from red bricks, and a blue house is made
    from blue bricks, and a pink house is made from pink bricks, and a black
    house
    is made from black bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?


















    Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks,"
    why are you still reading this?

    If you said "glass," go on to Question 4.



    4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over
    Germany (If you will recall , Germany at the time was politically divided
    into
    West Germany and East Germany ) Anyway, during the flight, TWO engines fail.
    The
    pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on
    a
    crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so
    and
    the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between
    East
    Germany and West Germany Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany,
    West Germany, or no man's land"?


















    Answer: You don't bury survivors.

    If you said ANYTHING else, you're in real bad shape and for your own
    sake you must stop. If you said, "You don't bury survivors", proceed to the
    next
    question.



    5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to
    Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six

    people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon , two people get
    off
    and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In
    Swansea,
    three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get
    off
    and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the n ame of
    the
    bus driver?



















    Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!



    Don't you remember your own name? Or have you forgotten it was YOU
    driving the BUS!!



    Now pass this along to all your friends and pray they do better than
    you.

    PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions! !!

    The U.S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it.
    You
    have to catch up with it yourself.
    -Benjamin Franklin

    Answer to #4, the survivors get buried under a pile of paperwork and offers from ambulance chasers.
