    The priest in a small village loved the rooster and the ten hens
    he kept in the hen house behind the church.
    One Sunday morning, before mass,
    he went to feed the birds and discovered that the c!ck was missing.
    He knew about c!ck fights in the village,
    so he questioned his parishioners in church.

    During mass, he asked the congregation,
    'Has anybody got a c!ck?'
    All the men stood up.

    'No, no,'
    he said,
    'that wasn't what I meant.
    Has anybody seen a c!ck?'
    All the women stood up.

    'No, no,'
    he said,
    'that wasn't what I meant.
    Has anybody seen a c!ck that doesn't belong to them?'
    Half the women stood up.

    'No, no,'
    he said,
    'that wasn't what I meant.

    Has anybody seen
    MY c!ck?'
    Sixteen altar boys, two priests and a goat stood up.
    The priest fainted

    Amen

    Thats a really difficult one! I bet they get about 100 boxes of chocolates a year off patients so i would say stay away from that idea (not that i would mind receiving 100 boxes of chocolates for christmas :rotfl::rotfl:).
    I will get my thinking cap on :D

    They do! My Mum worked as a doctor's receptionist for years and every year she would bring home boxes and boxes of chocolate and biscuits from work as there were so many!

    Angelic - Is he a tea of coffee drinker? How about one of those little sets from Boots that are quite cheap, or on 3 for 2 offer? I remember that making tea in the doctor's surgery was like a ritual and they all had their own personal mugs, so maybe just a nice mug would be cool?

  • Morning all :hello: and hi to any newbies

    Great total for yesterday :T and thanks Sarah for adding up :T

    Pad today is £2 tin, £5 ISA and £10 cap1 cc


    The money I'm saving in my ISA is going towards paying for Millie when she has to be spayed next year, so am trying to put as much as I can in it! Have got my sealed tin to open on 1st December (which I'm excited about :o) am hoping there's quite a bit in there but not sure if it'll be going in the isa or towards xmas!!!! Have got a few presents already but haven't a clue what to get for main presents for the kids! and they're not very helpful when I ask them!!! Oh apart from DS4 who has had a few days to think about it and come up with a few eye watering (moneywise) things!!!

    Happy POETS DAY everyone :D

    Hi all, read the posts yesterday but forgot to post my pad. So pad today is £2 between the two ccs.

    My youngest cat wasn't very impressed with the fireworks last night - he was running round in circles and it was like something had short-circuited his wee brain. :eek: He's not the brightest button, the poor soul. :rotfl:Nothing we did would stop him running in the same loop for about 20 mins! It was down from the cat tree, across the floor, under the table, back across to the cat tree and up it - repeat.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I shouldnt laugh, but ahhh bless. Our cat isnt really bothered by them, last year she sat at the window watching them - was quite funny watching here head go up and down all night. But this year she just slept through it all, was more of an inconvenience to her when some of the loud ones did wake her.

    I haven't been about for a while for a variety of reasons but have decided to get myself back on track. padding and sticking to my budget.

    So a quick £9.93 to the evil egg to bring my balance down to a nice round £880.

    Hope you've all got better weather than me.
