Jannie en sy foto

Jannie is in die Army. Een dag besluit die manne om bietjie te gaan swem, dis baie warm. Hulle is mos net 'n klomp manne, hulle swem sommer sonder klere. Iemand pluk 'n kamera uit en neem 'n paar fotos. Jannie se foto kom nogals goed uit en hy besluit om 'n foto vir sy ouma te stuur. Maar hy wil ook een vir sy meisie stuur. Nou hoe gemaak? Hy het net een foto. Jannie beraam 'n slim plan en sny die foto in twee. Die boonste deel pos hy aan sy meisie en die onderste deel vir sy ouma. Ouma kry uiteindelik die foto deur die pos, en dink by haar self nadat sy aandagtig die foto bekyk het, ''Nes Jannie is, sy hare is altyd deurmekaar en sy das hang skeef!''

Wat interessant is van hierdie ou klassieke grappie is dat my Pa dit altyd vir my vertel het as jong laaitie. Nou die oggend vertel ek dit vir Franko tydens brekvis voor skool. Daai selle middag vertel Barney Simon dit op Jakaranda FM terwyl Bella met die kinders van die skool af huis toe ry! Wat is die kans vir so toevalligheid?

Public cell phone talking...

After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in his train seat and closed his eyes. A young woman sat down next to him, and, as the train rolled out of the station, pulled out her cell phone and started talking in a loud voice, "Hi sweetheart. It's Sue. I'm on the train." "Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting." "No, honey, not with that Kevin from the accounting office. It was with the boss." "No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life." "Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart!" Fifteen minutes later, she was still talking loudly. The man sitting next to her had now had enough. He leaned over and said into the phone, "Sue, get off the damn phone and come back to bed." Sue no longer uses her cell phone in public

Goeie ou Dilbert op Vergaderings

AFRIKAANS UIT DIE BOONSTE GESKIEDENIS - Kinders se vraestel antwoorde, dis nou lekker Afrikaans !!

* Salomo het driehonderd vroue en nog sewehonderd bye-vye gehad. Nie almal van hulle het gesteek nie, maar hy was gelukkig baie slim en het 'n plan uitgewerk.

* Nog 'n belangrike uitvindsel was die bloedsomloop. Dit het verhoed dat jou bloed stilstaan, wat stilstuipe veroorsaak.

* Egipteland was bewoon deur mummies en hulle het almal op hulle hero-gleuwe geskryf en vir hulle pappies gewys. Hulle het in die Sarah-woestyn gewoon en het waterbeurte gehad van die min reën.. Die klimaat was so erg dat al die inwoners op ander plekke gebly het, en net naweke huistoe gekom het om sandkastele te bou. Die boesmans het in hulle tuine gewerk.

* Moses het die Hebreeuse slawe na die Rooi See gelei waar hulle ongesuurde brode gebak het, dit is brood wat sonder enige bestanddele gemaak is en baie soet is van te min suurdeeg. Moses het die berg Sianied uitgeklim om die tien gebooie te kry.

* Die Egiptenare was 'n hoogs gekulde volk en sonder hulle sou ons nie 'n geskiedenis gehad het nie. Hulle het omtrent al die kafees in Egipte gehad. My ma sê hulle het baie mites gehad wat seker in die kombuis gewerk het.

* Demokrates was 'n beroemde Griekse wysheid wat rondgeloop en mense raad gegee het.. Hy is dood omdat hy verskriklik oordosis of so iets. Na sy dood het sy loopbaan dramaties agteruitgegaan.

* In die ou Olimpiese Spele het die Grieke kaal paal gespring, zol geswaai, en disnis gegooi. Hulle was ook lief vir budgie-jump, omdat daar niks anders was om te jump nie.

* Johanna van Arkel het van 'n stapel brandwonde gesterf. Hulle het haar met 'n blaasbalk aan die brand gepomp, tot haar hare afrou geraak het van skrik.

* Koningin Elizabeth was die "Maagdekoningin". As 'n koningin was sy 'n sukses, maar nie as 'n maagd nie. Sy het haar volk se probleme aangetrek. En was altyd mooi geklee.

* Dit was 'n tydperk van groot uitvindsels en ontdekkings. Gutenberg het die wynpers uitgevind. Hy het die slaweklokke gelui deur dit in die wynpers vas te draai dat die wyn spat.

* Die grootste skrywer van die Renaissance was William Shakespeare. Hy is in die jaar 1564 gebore en die geskiedkundige mense dink dit was op sy verjaardag.
Hy het nooit geld gemaak nie, en is net beroemd oor die toneelstukke wat hy geskryf het. Hy het tragedies, komedies en historektomie geskryf. Romeo and Juliet is een voorbeeld.

* Abraham Lincoln het Amerika se grootste presedent geword. Lincoln se ma is dood toe sy nog 'n maagd was en hy is gebore in 'n houthut wat hy met sy eie hande gebou het in die franse evolusie.

* Johann Sebastiaan Bach het baie komposisies geken en het so ook baie kinders gehad. Hy is dood sedert 1750 tot vandag toe. Bach was die beroemdste komponis in die wêreld, amper soos HÃndel. HÃndel was half-Duits, half-Italiaans en half-Engels wat Hollangs gepraat het.

* Beethoven het musiek geskryf al was hy doof. Hy was so doof dat hy harde musiek geskryf het. Hy het ver in die woude gaan loop selfs al het almal na hom geroep. Beethoven het in 1827 opgehou bestaan en dis hoekom hy later dood is. Hy het rooi hare by geboorte gehad toe noem sy ma hom Beethoven. Sy hare het egter na sy eerste bad heelwat verander.

* Die negentiende eeu was 'n tyd van baie uitvindsels. Mense het opgehou om met die hand te reproduseer en met toestelle begin reproduseer.

* Die uitvinding van die stoomboot het 'n netwerk van riviere laat ontstaan, waarna die mense gevlug het as die water te warm raak van die stoom wat afgeblaas word.

* Die Toekoek is 'n voël wat nie haar eie eiers kan lê nie.

* Parallelle lyne ontmoet mekaar nooit nie, tensy jy een of altwee van hulle buig.

* 'n Sirkel is 'n lyn wat sy ander end ontmoet sonder om te end. Daarom is dit moeilik om sy end te kry, voordat jy dronk word.

* Die maan is 'n planeet net soos die aarde. Daar bly net een man wat baie gelukkig is. Een keer 'n jaar raak sy koeie mal en spring oor die maan.

* Vegatiewe voortplanting is 'n proses waarin een individu per ongeluk 'n ander individu vervaardig waarop net die ouma trots is.

* Koolstofmonoksied is 'n reuklose gas wat verskriklik stink.

* Peter Stuyfgestaan is 'n geskiedkundige figuur, want hy het sigarette uitgevind en begin rook. Hy het so baie gerook dat die niekoetien-kolle in sy onderbroek duidelik sigbaar was.

(W)e grew up surrounded by big dramatic story arcs in books and movies, we think our lives are supposed to be filled with huge ups and downs! So people pretend there is drama where there is none.
