This one has been around for a while & I have always loved it. I once sent it to my middle brother, who started as a ground engineer at Qantas when he was 16 & ended up in management before he retired 2 years ago at 63, & asked him if this could be true but I never got an answer. Having had & still have quite a few Qantas pilots in my family I can't see them accepting these answers as just being witty & funny as they take any faults found very seriously, as they should, so I expect it's not true. Maybe Banana Man, who is the only member of this forum that I know is a pilot, could give us his opinion

Didn't someone already post something very similar to this? I remember the midget one and I'm sure it is from this thread.
oops, yes. Tough guy posted it on page 2

These are genius. There are some excellent air traffic transmission ones as well, I must dig them up.

When I see a woman bus driver I am a happy man. I think to myself, how far have we come as a society, to get rid of all sexism, taboos and stupid superstitions. A society where man and woman are equal.
Then I wait for the next bus...

I think I might have a stalker. According to the Facebook ads, 23 year old Lucy is only 4 miles away. She was also 4 miles away when I visited Southampton and London recently.
On the bus some hoody approximately 11 years old noticed me checking F1 site's on my phone. He said "F1 is a joke, havnt you got anything better to do?" I replied "Here's a joke for you... Cheap Education" He looked confused and said "I don't get it" I smirked and replied "and you never will"
Ed and his wife Norma go to the fair every year. And every year Ed would say, "Norma, I'd like to ride in that helicopter." Norma always replied, " I know Ed, but that helicopter ride is fifty pounds, and fifty pounds is fifty pounds!"
One year Ed and Norma went to the fair, and Ed said, "Norma, I'm 75 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance." To this, Norma replied, "Ed, that helicopter ride is fifty pounds, and fifty pounds is fifty pounds." The pilot overheard the couple and said, "Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don't say a word, I won't charge you a penny! But if you say one word, you pay fifty pounds." Ed and Norma agreed and up they went.
The pilot did all kinds of fancy manoeuvres, but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again... but still not a peep! When they landed, the pilot turned to Ed, "By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!" Ed replied, "Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Norma fell out. But you know, fifty pounds is fifty pounds!"

LOL thanks for that, almost sprayed my 2nd monitor with coffee.. haha
A dog went into a post office to send a telegram. The man at the counter asked the dog to write down what they wanted to send. Taking a blank form, the dog wrote “Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”
The man at the counter examined the form and politely told the dog, “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”
The dog replied, “But that wouldn't make any sense at all!”
Was walking through a graveyard this morning and I saw a man crouching next to a tombstone. "Morning!" I said "No, I'm just taking a sh*t," he replied.

When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.
When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards."
He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."
Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing."
What is it with diabetics? One minute they're on the floor with a loved one standing by screaming 'Give him some chocolate! Give him some chocolate!' The next day someone offers them a piece of chocolate and quick as a flash they say 'No thanks, I'm diabetic.' I wish they'd get their story straight.

When they arrested him, he produced his identification...
With the current Pitbabes and Gridgirls debate raging elsewhere this is going to put a few noses severely out of joint so STOP reading now. A woman goes to see her doctor because she feels her husband is losing interest in her. The doc gives her a thorough exam and can find no clinical abnormality so he suggests she see a specialist "You should go and see my colleague Dr. Chan" She duly makes an appointment and heads off to see Dr. Chan. He looks her over and then says "go behind scleen and take off you crows" So she goes behind the screen and disrobes. "OK crawl acloss floor on hands and knees" She crawls across the floor to the far wall "OK now turn lound and crawl back" So she returns to her starting point. "Hmmmm. Yeah, you got Ed Zachary disease" "Oh my God doctor! What is Ed Zachary disease?" "It mean your face rook edzachary rike your pickle!"
A guy in a bar walks up to the barman and says "I'll bet you £100 that you can line up 10 shot glasses along the bar, and I can pee into all of them without getting a single drop on the bar". The barman thinks he'll never make it and says "You're on", and lines up 10 shot glasses along the bar. The guy stands up on a bar stool, unzips his fly, and pisses all over the bar with hardly any going into the shot glasses. The barman laughs at him and says "You're such an idiot, what made you ever think you could do that?" The guy says "I never thought I could do it.... but I bet that guy in the corner £200 that I could gherkin all over your bar and you'd be happy about it"
