Are you ready for English humor

  South Carolina Declares War!

 Pres. Obama was in the Oval Office when his telephone rang.

 "Hello? President Obama ?" a deep southern voice said,

"This here's Archie down at Joe 's Catfish Shack in Charleston ,
 SC , and I am callin' to tell all y'all up there in Washington that
 we are officially declaring war on you folks."

 "Well, Archie," Barack replied, "this is, indeed, some very
interesting news.  How big is your army?"

"Right now," said Archie, after a moment's calculation, "there's me,
my cousin Harold and my next door neighbor Randy plus the whole
dart team here in Hooters. That makes 8 of us!"

Barack paused.

"I must tell you, Archie, that I have one million men in my army
and they are waiting to move on my command."


"Wow," said Archie, "I'll have to call you back."

 A few minutes later, Archie called again.

" Mr. Obama , this war is still on.  We managed to acquire some
infantry equipment!"

 "And what equipment would that be, Archie?" Barack asked.

"Well, we got us a couple a combines, a bulldozer and Harry 's
tractor."

Obama grinned and sighed...  "I must tell you guys, Archie, that I
 have 16,000 tanks and 140,000 armored personnel carriers and
I've increased my army to one and a half million since we spoke a
 few minutes ago."

 "Lawdy mercy!" said Archie, "Lemme get back to ya."

A few minutes later, Archie called back.

" Mr. Obama , I'm sorry to say it, but we have had to call off this
 here war we been talkin' 'bout."

 "Well, Archie, I'm sorry to hear that," said Barack.

"Why the sudden change of heart, if I may I ask?"

"Well, I tell you, prez, it's like this," said Archie.  "We've sat
ourselves down and had a chat over our sweet tea and we jus'
come to realize that there  ain't no way in hell we can afford to
feed two million prisoners!"

Will and Guy's Joke of the Day #101

* Out of the Mouths of Babes

Here are some amusing remarks made by children in all innocence.
 The saga that made me laugh the most was the Road Hog.

* Funny comments made by children.

Cream loses its magic

Little Michael watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold
cream on her face. "Why do you do that, Mummy?" he asked
"To make myself beautiful," said his mother who then began
removing the cream with a tissue.

"What's the matter?" asked little Michael, "Giving up?"

* Charity Begins at Church

After the church service, seven year old Brian said to the preacher:
"When I grow up, I'm going to give you some money."

"Well, thank you," the preacher replied, "but why?"

"Because my daddy says that you're one of the poorest preachers
we've ever had."
********************************************************8
* The Chase

Nicola, eight years old, told her parents that David Parsons had
kissed her after lessons. "How did that happen?" asked her mother
.
 "It wasn't easy," admitted the young lady,
 "but three girls helped me catch him."
**********************************************************
* Fig Leaves

Bobby, nine, opened the big and old family Bible with fascination,
and looked at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly,
something fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up and looked at
it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in
 between the pages.

"Hey, Mum, look what I’ve found!" Bobby called out. "What have
 you got there, dear?" his mother asked. Astonishment written
 all over his face, he answered: "I think it's Adam's suit!"
************************************************************
* Home Alone

Our new neighbour asked the Hannah, aged 4 and who lived next
door if she had any brothers and sisters. She replied,
"No, I'm the lonely child."
************************************************************
* Road Hog

One day I was driving with my five year old daughter and I honked
my car horn by mistake.
Alice turned and looked at me for an explanation.
I said, "I did that by accident."
Alice replied, "I know that, Daddy."
I replied, "How did you know?"
She said, "Because you didn't say 'IDIOT' afterwards"

** Doctor I Need Help – A Funny Phobia Story

'Doctor O'Hara,' Ranjit pleaded, 'I've got trouble. Every time I get into bed,
 I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed, I think there's somebody
 on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You gotta help me, I'm going crazy.'

'Just put yourself in my hands for two years,' said Dr O'Hara, the psychiatrist,
 'Come and see me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears.'

'How much do you charge?'

'A hundred dollars per visit.'

'In that case, I'll sleep on it,' answered Ranjit.
Six months later the doctor met Ranjit in the street.
'Why didn't you ever come to see me again?' asked the psychiatrist.

'For a hundred buck's a visit?
 A bartender cured me for ten dollars,' smiled Ranjit

'Is that so! How?'

'He told me to cut the legs off the bed.'

Four Snippets

1) Logical Thinking

A Year 5 teacher was giving her Primary pupils a lesson in developing logical thinking.
"This is the scene," said the teacher.
"A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance,
falls in, and begins splashing and yelling for help.

His wife hears the commotion, knows he can't swim, and runs down to the bank.
Why do you think she ran to the bank?"

A little girl raised her hand and asked, "To draw out all his savings?"
***********************************************************************8

She Came Second in a One-horse Race

Jennifer Brown, aged 62, a grandmother was thrilled to win second prize in
 a baking contest until she found that her cake was the only entry. She was
 awarded second place for her Victoria Sponge in the competition, reports
the Mirror. She was intrigued to find out which cake had beaten her to the
top spot and it was then that she discovered the truth.

Organisers had spotted her sponge had rack marks from where it had been
 in the oven and decided it wasn't up to the standards demanded for first
place. But grandmother-of-four Jennifer said she was not browned off and
 chuckled, 'I must admit I have never heard of coming second in a one horse
race before. When a friend of mine told me I had come second I was quite
pleased, both for getting a prize and also because I just assumed they must
have had more entries. The cake hadn't been judged good enough to win the
contest, but it was soon polished off and there were certainly no complaints.'

Jennifer, who had entered the competition organised for her village carnival in
 Wimblington, Cambridgeshire, UK, added, 'Although I have never heard of
anything like this before I certainly didn't take offence. I had a good laugh with
 the organiser about it. It certainly won't put me off baking cakes.'

.Strange But True Stories From Motorists

I was taking a friend home and keeping two yards from each lamp post which
were in a straight line. Unfortunately, there was a bend in the road bringing
 the right-hand lamp post in line with the other and of course I landed in a ditch.
A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
To avoid a collision I ran into the other car.
 Four Casualties Instead of One
**********************************************************************
An old lady dialled 999 after falling over in her house at Iffley, Oxfordshire.
She didn't wake the other members of the family. As the ambulance men were
 carrying her out of the front door on a stretcher, her son roused from his
slumbers by the noise staggered onto the landing, panicked at the sight of
strange men in his home, and tripped all the way downstairs,
 knocking himself out.

His wife came rushing out of the bedroom to see what was wrong. Observing
her husband lying on the hall floor, she promptly fainted and fell downstairs
herself. The paramedics now had three casualties to take to A&E instead of one.
************************************************************************
Man Left Wife at Petrol Station:

A Macedonian drove six hours across Italy and into Germany before noticing
he had left his wife at a petrol station.

Ljubomir Ivanov , 35, only realised he had forgotten wife Iskra, 37, when he got
a call on his mobile from police to say she was still waiting for him at the petrol
station near Pesaro, in central Italy.

He said, 'I filled up the tank with petrol, paid and then just drove off. I was very
tired and not thinking straight.

'She usually sits in the back seat so I didn't really see she wasn't there, until
I got a call when I was already in Germany.'

Mr Ivanov immediately drove back to Pesaro to pick up his wife so they could
resume their holiday.

'I had a lot of apologising to do, 'he said.

The tally rapidly became four when the family dog rampaged furiously into the
 hall, and inflicted an indignant bite on the bottom of one of the ambulance
men. A spokesman for the Oxford Ambulance Service said, '
It was quite a night, actually.'
**************************************************************8***

   Round Like a Shot

Round like a shot... Going to bed the other night, I noticed people in my shed
stealing things. I phoned the police but was told there was no one in the area
to help. The policeman said they would send someone over as soon as possible.
 I hung up.

A minute later I rang again. 'Hello', I said, 'I called you a minute ago because
there were people in my shed. You don't have to hurry now, because I've shot
them.' Within five minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area, plus
helicopters and an armed response unit. They caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the officers said: 'I thought you said you'd shot them.' To which I replied:
'I thought you said there was no one available.'

There are at least two famous people called Steve Wright.  Alan Turnham has
