Extreme Sports

Bob and Ernie were standing at the top of a cliff. Each had a cardboard box. Bob opened his box, and a budgie flew out and landed on his shoulder. He looked over the cliff, then jumped off. The budgie hung onto Bob and flapped its wings like mad, but could do little to stop Bob falling. Bob landed on the ground and lay there groaning.

Ernie then took a parrot out of his box and put it on his shoulder. Then he jumped off too. The parrot flapped hard and, being bigger than the budgie, managed, about half-way down, to stop the fall. Then Ernie took a gun out his pocket and shot the parrot. He then fell to the ground too.

Bob groaned, ‘I don’t know what people see in this budgie jumping.’

Ernie replied, ‘No, I’m not too keen on the parrot shooting either.’

One of them asked, ‘What’s he doing?’

The other said, ‘He’s just decomposing.’

Alf said, ‘Yes, I once saw a gang of bikies harassing a young girl. I told them to leave her alone. The biggest one replied “You gonna make us?”

Golf

A priest, a doctor and an engineer play a round of golf. They get held up because the group in front of them take so long over each hole. The groundsman comes by and they ask him why the group in front is going so slowly. The groundsman replies ‘Oh, that’s a sad story. We had a fire in our chemicals shed. They were the fire fighters who came to put it out. But one of the chemicals caused them all to lose their sight. So as a gesture of gratitude, the club gave them all life membership. But of course, they do have a lot of trouble finding their balls.

The priest says, ‘Oh! That is sad. I will pray for them. Miracles can happen, you know.’

The doctor says, ‘I have a colleague who specialises in that sort of thing. I will see if there’s anything that can be done for them.’

A few minutes later, the waiter came back and put two mugs on the table. The tea was red with bits of fur, bone and gristle floating in it. ‘Oo, what’s this?’ Sylvia said. ‘Koala tea’, said the waiter. ‘What? Is it just minced koala?’ said Sylvia. ‘Yes’, said the waiter.

The couple looked at it for a while, then Adam asked, ‘Could you strain it for us?’

The waiter replied ‘Sir, the koala tea of Mercy is not strained.’

Wing said 'Ok.'

Two hours later, Wing rang again and said, 'I did what you say. I feel much better. I come in now.'

Wing finished off with, 'You got nice house.'
