And from Edel, supposedly a whole bunch of silly, wrong, or incorrect answers given by contestants on various British & Irish radio & television quiz shows.

Ilya sent me this! I’m not posting the original file he sent me, but someone put this copy on YouTube! It appears to be an advertising for a UK site call LittleWoods Direct.
And from Jeannie!
‘SENIOR’ EYE TEST
HILARIOUS! (and I did see sheep..at first. Then I looked closer to see if I recognized anyone!)
Eye test for those over 40
If you wondering where the pic came from originally, I’d say it was take by Spencer Tunick
And you can read more about him on Wikipedia .
And from Jeannie! The title isn’t mine, it’s from the original e-mail. Hmmm, can I make the font bigger? 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1940’s, 50’s, 60’s 70’s
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a van – loose – was always exciting and great fun.
We drank water from the garden hose or tap and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank cordial with sugar in it, but we weren’t overweight because……
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
And some background on the whole Sarah Silverman/MattDamon/Jimmy Kimmel/Ben Affleck thing:
In case your not aware it’s all just a joke! 🙂

Steven Wright!
Is one of my favorite comedians and he’s from Boston too. I’ve never seen him live, but used to have one of his performances on tape (aye that was some time ago). His humour is very droll. But, here are some of his one-liners (via the Linux fortune command):
I used to live in a house by the freeway. When I went anywhere, I had to be going 65 MPH by the end of my driveway.
I replaced the headlights in my car with strobe lights. Now it looks like I’m the only one moving.
I was pulled over for speeding today. The officer said, “Don’t you know the speed limit is 55 miles an hour?” And I said, “Yes, but I wasn’t going to be out that long.”
I put a new engine in my car, but didn’t take the old one out. Now my car goes 500 miles an hour.

And a couple of one-liners from Fortune!
You think Oedipus had a problem — Adam was Eve’s mother.
“All snakes who wish to remain in Ireland will please raise their right hands.”
— Saint Patrick
You might need to be Irish to get this one! 🙂 But, Joe Dolan was an Irish singer whose career started in the late 1960’s and extended to his death in late 2007.
Ok, here’s the joke:
And from Liz:
“If you want a laugh, check out these clips. I guess Jimmy ends most of his shows with “My apologies to Matt Damon – we ran out of time.” His girlfriend decided to take it a bit further…”
And here’s Jimmy’s response:
