WIRELESS AFRICA
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Brit's, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in the New York Times: "American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the British".
One week later, the Cape Times, in South Africa, reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Thabazimbi, South Africa, Lucky Simelane, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Lucky has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Africa had already gone wireless."
Just makes you bloody proud to be from Africa !

AMOOOZING!!
A New Zealander walks into the bedroom with a sheep on a leash and says...
"Honey, this is the cow I make love to when you have a headache."
The wife, lying in the bed reading a book, looks up and says,
"If you weren't such an idiot, you'd know that's a sheep, not a cow."
The guy replies,
"And if you weren't such a presumptuous b#%ch, you'd realize I was talking
to the sheep."

PREPOSTERITIOUS!!!
A very elderly couple is having an elegant dinner to celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary.
The old man leans forward and says softly to his wife . . . "Dear, there is something that I must ask you. It has always bothered me that our 10th child never quite looked like the rest of our children. Now I want to assure you that these 75 years have been the most wonderful experience I could have ever hoped for, and your answer cannot take that all away. But, I must know, did he have a different father?"
The wife drops her head, unable to look her husband in the eye. She paused for moment and then confessed. "Yes. Yes he did."
The old man is very shaken, the reality of what his wife was admitting hit him harder than he had expected. With a tear in his eye he asks "Who? Who was he? Who was the father?"
Again the old woman drops her head, saying nothing at first as she tried to muster the courage to tell the truth to her husband. then, finally, she says. . . . . . . "You."

TASTER
In an alcohol factory the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire.
A drunkard with ragged, dirty looks came to apply for the position.
The director of the factory wondered how to send him away.
They tested him.
They gave him a glass with a drink. He tried it and said,
"It’s red wine, a muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope,
matured in steel containers."
"That’s correct", said the boss.
Another glass.
"It’s red wine , Cabernet, eight years old, a southwestern slope, oak barrels."
"Correct."
The director was astonished.
He winked at his secretary to suggest something.
She brought in a glass of urine. The alcoholic tried it.
"It’s a blonde, 26 years old, pregnant in the third month.
And if you don’t give me the job, I’ll also tell who’s the father!"

PEEE-SY!
A super elegant and beautiful woman came out from a bar with a high level of alcohol in her system.
While walking towards her expensive BMW car of the year, she tried to open it with the keys, but was unable due to her drunken condition, she dropped flat on the ground next to the car door.
Legs WIDE open and with no panties on, she looked down at herself and saw her own **** and started talking to it.
"Because of you I have a car."
"Because of you I have jewelry"
"Because of you I have money"
"Because of you I could have any man I want!
"Because of you I have a mansion."
All of a sudden she started to pee......getting wet she shouted.....
"Stop crying you idiot!!!....I am not fighting with you..!"

710
Yesterday I was having some work done at the Toyota dealer. A woman came in and asked for a seven-hundred- ten.
We all looked at each other, and the mechanic asked, "What is a seven-hundred- ten?"
She replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine.. I lost it and need a new one. It had always been there."
The mechanic gave the woman a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710 !!
He then took her over to another car which had the hood up and asked, "Is there a 710 on this car?"
She pointed and said, "Of course, it's right there."
Now go to the photo below to learn what a 710 is...........

....How people give explanations for Leave
Suddenly one of the employees in an organization took 10 days Leave without any notice. When he returned his PL asked for explanation. The employee said "Sir, my mom died unexpectedly". The PL let it go at that.
After 3 months the same pattern repeated, and this time he said his father died. Then the PL got changed. After 3 months the same pattern repeated. And the employee gave the explanation that his mom died. After 3 months same thing again...and this time his father died. This happened repeatedly for 2 years. At the end, one PL checked his past records and told him, "I have caught you red handed, How come in the past 2 years, your mom has died 5 times, and your dad has died five times?"
To which the guy said, "Sir, my mom died and my father remarried. Then my father died and my new mom remarried. Then my mom died and the new father remarried. This has been going on and on and on and..."!!!!!!

SLIPPETY SUPPER
A young couple, married just a couple of weeks, returns from their honeymoon to face the beginning of their new lives. The next morning the husband wakes up, showers, dresses and makes his way to the kitchen where he sees his new wife crying.
So the husband inquires, "What's wrong, Honey?"
"Well, I came down here this morning to surprise you with a big breakfast, but I can't cook or clean."
The husband smiles his biggest smile and says, "There, there sweetie! I don't care that you can't cook and clean. Come on up to the bedroom and I'll show you what I'd like for breakfast."
So off they went to the bedroom.
That afternoon, the husband comes home for lunch to find his new wife crying again in the kitchen. "What's wrong now, Sweetie?"
"Well, the same thing as this morning. I came in here to make you something for lunch and I just can't cook."
Again the husband smiles and says, "Why don't you come back up to the bedroom and I'll have my lunch there!"
So off they went to the bedroom again.
That evening the new husband comes home, walks in the house and sees his new bride naked sliding down the banister of the stairs. Up she runs, and WHOOSH down the banister.
After the third trip the husband asks, "What are you doing, Honey?"
"Warming up your supper!" she replies.
So the husband inquires, "What's wrong, Honey?"
"Well, I came down here this morning to surprise you with a big breakfast, but I can't cook or clean."
The husband smiles his biggest smile and says, "There, there sweetie! I don't care that you can't cook and clean. Come on up to the bedroom and I'll show you what I'd like for breakfast."
So off they went to the bedroom.
That afternoon, the husband comes home for lunch to find his new wife crying again in the kitchen. "What's wrong now, Sweetie?"
"Well, the same thing as this morning. I came in here to make you something for lunch and I just can't cook."
Again the husband smiles and says, "Why don't you come back up to the bedroom and I'll have my lunch there!"
So off they went to the bedroom again.
That evening the new husband comes home, walks in the house and sees his new bride naked sliding down the banister of the stairs. Up she runs, and WHOOSH down the banister.
After the third trip the husband asks, "What are you doing, Honey?"
"Warming up your supper!" she replies.

LES AFFAIRE...
Its not laziness, here is the reason for a couple years many Africans have been blaming it on lack of sleep Too much pressure from job, poor blood, but now the real reason has been found:
We're tired because we're overworked.
Here's why:
The population of Africa is 800 million: 200 million are retired. That leaves 600 million.
There are 200 million in school.Which leaves 400 million to do the work.
Of this, there are 100 million employed by the government.Leaving 300 million to do the work.
50 Million are in the armed forces & related jobs.Which leaves 250 million to do the work.
Take from the total the 150 million people unemployed.
And that leaves 100 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 50 Million people in hospitals.Leaving 50 Million to do the work.
There are 20 Million people in prisons.Leaving 30 million to do the work.
1 Million are Chiefs, Kings, Queens , Presidents, Ministers,Pastors, Voodoo or Juju Masters.Leaving 29 Million to do the work.
Now, 28,999,998 Africans are out of Africa . In Europe, USA, Asia etc.That leaves just two people to do all the work.
You and me... But you're sitting on your chair, at your computer,Reading this joke instead of working............That leaves one person, only me, to do all the wor
