A Joke

[Amanda 3]

Shouldn't you be aiming slightly in front of the clays?

I don't know? Should I? Is this something that I can pick up in a day or am I going to make a total arse of self? I've never even held a gun. But I have been told that my left eye is my dominant eye. This is important apparently. Is there any shooting etiquette I should be aware of?

Don't shoot your fellow clay pigeoners.

I wish.....

Never ever point a gun at anyone under any circumstances unless the gun is 'broken' (bent in the middle). I saw someone escorted from the shoot for doing that and they have been persona no grata ever since.

Is this a work jolly?

[Tuber Mirum 119]

How about "don't shoot anyone"?

 

Also keep an eye out for who is behind you with a gun. Charlton Heston is a bugger in that respect.

 

And if you have to walk anywhere with the gun, make sure it is open and not loaded.

I heard somewhere you don't aim a shotgun, you point it, but I'm sure there'll be someone there who can guide you better than we can.

Is this a work jolly?

No, I expressed a polite interest in a would-be boyfriend's hobbies & it's come to this.

I hope he's worth it. If not at least you you can shoot him

[Amanda 3]

Thank you Mr Notapotato, I must admit to being a little worried. Presumably in the daytime there will be less people about to watch me make a tit of self. I actually feel sick with nerves at the prospect. The coffee I've just drunk feels like it's eaten a hole in my stomach lining. It's not very pleasant. I assume these shoots have toilet & beverage facilities?

Brilliant! My thoughts exactly!!

I've never even held a gun.  But I have been told that my left eye is my dominant eye.  This is important apparently.

It sure is.

If you are left eye dominant, then you must pull the trigger with your left and hold the gun barrel with your right. Even if you're right handed.

If you don't then you'll never hit a damn thing.

[VileBody 11]

I may be too late for this but pull the gun very firmly into your shoulder when you fire. First (and last) time Mrs VB fired one, it kicked so hard she dropped the gun. To the alarm of many...

Hi, I don't want to start a new topic for this, but please can someone help me? I'm going clay pigeon shooting for the first time today & is there any advice or anything that anyone can offer me? I've got a 12 bore to use (is that OK for beginners?). Is there anything I need to know? Aside from aim at the clay pigeons of course... thanks.

Here's a crazy motion.

Why not search 'clay pigeon shooting' on google and find an actual clay pigeon shooting site?

Sounds like a good Idea in principle, but I tried it, and given the dearth of useful information on the web, asking us wasn't such a bad idea actually.

 

What sort of coffee do you drink Amanda?

 

There is nothing worse for your guts than bad coffee.

[maryportfuncity 10,013]

Re coffee, a good way to state your preferences is to drink Michael Jackson coffee. Basically rating the strength and - therefore - colour of your coffee by his skin colour on various album covers.

 

Strong - very brown = Off The Wall coffee

 

Weak - almost white = Bad coffee

 

etc

 

I'm off the wall every time.......as far as the coffee's concerned.

George W. Bush is sitting in the Oval Office, and in saunters Dick Cheney.

 

Dick: Hey George, three Brazillian soldiers were killed in Eye-raq today.

 

George: Gee, that's kinda bad isn't it?

 

Dick: Yeah, Kinda.

 

George: (Goes back to examining his Buster Annual)

 

(Pause) Hey Dick, I guess those soldiers gettin' killed is just the way the cookie crumbles, right Dick?

 

Dick: Yeah, I guess so George.

 

George: (Goes back to his book)

 

(Pause) Hey Dick?

 

Dick: Yeah George?

 

George: Remind me again, exactly how many millions is a brazillion?

I think it may depend on the type of wool you are using, different plys etc... perhaps someone else can enlighten you? I myself can't knit to save myself and was banned from the primary 3 knitting group at 7/8 years old. I am sure there are a few people on here who would be willing to help you out, after all other posters ask these sort of questions and get copious replies.

[football_fan 41]

A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.

 

"Why of course," comes the reply.

The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.

The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."

 

"Of Course," replies the second man. Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland are you from?" "Dublin," comes the reply.

 

"I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin."

 

"Of course," replies the second man. Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: "What school did you go to?"

 

"Saint Mary's," replies the second man. "I graduated in '62."

"This is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62, too!"

 

About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender. "Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Malley twins are drunk again."

[Banshees Scream 107]

Here's a joke that hasn't come to mind in a while..

 

A man is constantly getting nasty emails from some random

woman on the internet. He becomes so angry after a while

he saids he wants to meet her in person. She accepts.

 

He meets her and only does he find that this woman has

no arms or legs. He then feels bad. He decides he will

be nice to this woman. They start a small conversation

and the woman told this man that she wanted to meet

him at the same time again the next day. He had no plans

so he figured he would meet her again. When he was about

to leave she said "give me a hug" he said why not gave the hug

and left.

 

That night he received more nasty emails from this same

woman. He met her the next day and was still somewhat upset.

She said she was sorry and this time she said "Give me a kiss" At first he hesitated and mumbled no but he did give her a kiss on the cheek. She wanted to

meet him again the next day. She said that she had something to give him.

 

 

 

 

That night this mans girlfriend got strange phone calls about rumors

on how her boyfriend was cheating on her. This woman also was insulting

this mans girlfriend and rudely hung up. She later called him that night

and broke up with him thinking it was some cruel joke. His computer was

also hacked beyond belief and he knew it was all in the works of this

disabled woman.

 

The next day he met her and she said this is what i have for you!

She waved her head towards her pocket. She said pull it out. He

pulled out a condom and she then said "F**k Me" He said allright

let's get in the car and i'll take you somewhere speacial for the occation.

He showed up at the nearest lake and said it's a suprise! Let me put

this blindfold on you. She agreed and he placed her on a couple sturdy

logs that were tied togeather. He set her to sail in the lake and quicky said

Are you ready! She replied yes and as he pulled the blindfold away from her

eyes she then yelled o am i f**ked!

 

I think this is a good joke but like many others

is told better in person. I feel here i may have

overated it. "To long"

This is a bit long, and not so much of a joke per se, but it's really funny so I thought I'd share. I don't know how 'authentic' they are, but I think they're hilarious regardless:
