The Joker wins again!
Saturday night saw New Zealand’s first ever inter-league roller derby match-up. Our team’s colours are orange and purple, so after swapping the green shirt for an orange one, I figured the old joker costume would have to get another outing. What I hadn’t counted on was only three other people being in costume, and none of them being quite so obviously “costumes” (two guys had coloured boiler suits and gasmasks on, another had come dressed as one of the skaters).
At half time it was announced there was going to be a competition (I didn’t know that previously, I just like getting dressed up). I was at the other side of the stadium to the others that were in costume, so felt a bit embarrassed and stayed sitting down. Then over the PA comes “There’s a Joker somewhere! Can the Joker please stand up!” Well looks like i’ve been noticed, so I sheepishly got on my feet. The referee skated over and gave me a thumbs up, so I thought I must be in with a chance.
We were sat about four rows from the front, and when I stood up everyone in front of me was cheering and that gave me a bit of a boost. Then I turned around, only to be confronted with the sight of a thousand people behind me, all cheering me on! I was up on my seat in no time, and had the whole stadium cheering me on, which is a new experience I can tell you!
I won of course (a woman’s t-shirt, but hey, what do you expect?) and had to spend the rest of the night posing for photos, official professional type ones, phone-snaps from the crowd, and then all the kids who wanted their photo taken with the joker. My own favourite was with the two IHC kids; the brother stood there terrified rigid, and the girl was shaking like a leaf, so either she was terrified too, or very, very excited!
It wasn’t until much later that my wife (who was dressed in her purple and orange Velma costume) said ‘Do you know what you just did? You just climbed on your chair and got a stadium of a thousand people to cheer you on! Not bad for a bloke who twelve months ago wouldn’t ever leave the house!â€
Oh yeah, there was sport on as well. We got thrashed. 88 – 174.
It’s Christmas Time in the Suburbs
‘Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.
First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.
Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize that it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of the many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.â€

Over confident CEO
A new CEO takes over at a struggling company and decides to get rid of all the slackers.
On a tour of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning on a wall. He can’t believe this guy would just stand around on the job.
The new CEO walks up to the guy leaning against the wall and asks, ‘What are you doing here?
‘I’m just waiting to get paid, responds the man.
Furious, the CEO asks ‘How much money do you make a week?
A little surprised, the young fellow replies, ‘I make about $300 a week. Why?
The CEO quickly gets out his checkbook, hands the guy a check made out to cash for $1,200 and says, ‘Here’s four weeks’ pay, now get out and don’t come back.
The man puts the check in his pocket and promptly walks out.
Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looks around the room and asks, ‘Does anyone want to tell me what just happened here?
From across the room comes a voice, ‘Yeah, you just tipped the pizza delivery guy $1,200.

classified, it is believed to be Mach 3.5 (top speed in the
Mach 4 range) super-cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor

Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee.. The first Catholic man tells his friends, ‘My son is a priest ; when he walks into a room, everyone calls him ˜Father’. The second Catholic man chirps, ‘My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him ‘Your Grace’. The third Catholic gent says, ‘My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone says ˜Your Eminence’. The fourth Catholic man then says, ‘My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him ˜Your Holiness’. Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men give her a subtle, ‘Well ? She proudly replies, ‘I have a daughter, slim, tall, 38D breasts, 24 waist and 34 hips. When she walks into a room, people say, ‘Oh My God.

The Winking Sales Man
82. A man with a winking problem applies for a position as a traveling salesman and goes in for an interview.
‘Looking at your sum, I can see that you’re more than qualified, says the interviewer. ‘Unfortunately, we can’t have our sales reps constantly winking at customers, so we can’t hire you.
‘But wait, says the man. ‘If I take two aspirin, I stop winking.
‘Then show me, replies the interviewer.
So the guy reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a pile of condoms in all different shapes, sizes, and colors before finally finding a packet of aspirin. He pops the pills and immediately stops winking.
‘It’s great you stopped winking, says the interviewer, ‘but we can’t have our salesmen womanizing all over the country.
‘What do you mean? asks the man. ‘I’m happily married.
‘How do you explain all the condoms? asks the interviewer.
‘Oh, that, sighs the man. ‘Have you ever walked into a pharmacy, winking, and asked for aspirin?
