A blonde had just been in a terrible car accident. Somehow, she climbed out of the wreck without a single scratch — and was calmly applying fresh lipstick when the state trooper pulled up.
The officer stared at the crumpled mess of metal and said,
“Ma’am, your car looks like it got flattened by an elephant! Are you sure you’re alright?”
The blonde smiled and replied,
“Oh, I’m perfectly fine, officer!”
Still puzzled, the trooper asked,
“So... what exactly happened here?”
The blonde explained,
“Well, officer, it was the weirdest thing! I was just driving along when out of nowhere — this tree jumped right in front of me! So I swerved to miss it, but another tree popped up on the other side! I swerved again and there was another tree... then another... and another!”
The officer paused for a moment, then said,
“Ma’am, there isn’t a single tree on this road for at least 30 miles. That was your air freshener swinging back and forth.”

A day out for a photo shoot with some rising stars. June 13, 1955, outside a Wil Wright's ice cream shop in Los Angeles, CA.
From left to right. Lance Fuller—likely the least known of the group. He was under contract with Universal in the 1950s, but his film career never really took off, so he switched to TV, though that didn’t bring him much success either. He quit acting in 1962. In 1968, he made local news after damaging several cars on the street and getting shot in the chest by a police officer. He survived and tried to return to acting, but it didn’t work out. He passed away in 2001.
Next is Jayne Mansfield, who became very famous for a short time before her life was cut short in a tragic car crash in 1967.
Then we have John Smith, who became well-known for the TV show Laramie. Later, he acted in Circus World with John Wayne. But the director, Henry Hathaway, reportedly disliked Smith and tried to harm his career, though no one knows exactly why. Smith passed away in 1995 due to liver disease and heart issues.
Next is Natalie Wood. She was only 16 in this photo but already had a lot of acting experience. 1955 was a big year for her as she began moving from child roles to adult ones, starting with Rebel Without a Cause. She became a major star. Sadly, she died in 1981, drowning under mysterious circumstances.
Last is Robert Fuller, who isn’t related to Lance. He may have had the most successful run—mainly because he lived the longest. He became well-known for Laramie, Wagon Train, and Emergency! At the time of writing, he’s nearing his 90th birthday.

There was a French city where, during the Middle Ages, the women had an odd habit. In the morning, married women would put a small dose of poison in the breakfast they had prepared for their husbands. Later on, when their men returned home during the evening, they would be given the antidote. In this way, the poison would not become harmful and affect them.
There was a strict reason for this practice. Should the husbands remain elsewhere for too long, as the administration of the antidote got delayed, the men would end up experiencing symptoms like nausea, headaches, depression, vomiting, pain or shortness of breath. The longer the man delayed to return home to his wife, the sicker he would get. And, ultimately, when he finally returned home, his wife unknowingly gave him the antidote.
In this way, within a few minutes, he quickly started feeling better. All of this worked as a trick, giving men the impression that being away from home would lead to pain and depression. Therefore, the husbands would become more serious with the family.

Beverly Hills, California, was named after Beverly Farms in Beverly, Massachusetts, which itself was named after the town of Beverley in East Yorkshire, England. The East Yorkshire town is believed to have originated from the Old English term "Beverlac," meaning "beaver lake" due to the presence of beavers in the nearby river. The area that became Beverly Hills was originally a ranch and was later subdivided and named "Beverly Hills" in 1906.
The Ukraine. They didn’t apologise. They refused to sign his contract for more minerals.
Canada. They didn’t apologise. They said they were a proud nation and didn’t need him.
Mexico. They didn’t apologise. They said they’d find new trade partners.
Great Britain. They didn’t apologise, they sent troops and military equipment to the Ukraine as soon as Trump withdrew.
France. They didn’t apologise. They sent troops and equipment to Ukraine too.
Poland. As above. No apology. Troops and equipment to the Ukraine.
Germany. They said nothing. Draw your own conclusions.
Australia. We didn’t apologise. We refused to put tariffs on our American imports and pointed out that the tariffs in our exports would not affect any economy as we don’t send much to USA. We refused to buy USA beef because it’s a health hazard. We have the cleanest meat in the world. We joined the new trade alliance with the UK and Canada.
New Zealand. They said nothing. They’ve joined the new trade alliance with UK and Canada too.
I’m sorry. Which foreign countries did he mention? Who apologised ?

An American named Steve McNeld posted a photo of himself with his grandmother in a coffin, happy about her death because he would inherit $900,000 from her.
However, after the funeral, he was surprised to find that she had donated her entire fortune to charity and left him a note saying, "My little dog, Steve... I left you your grandfather's crutch and my dentures in my closet. I hope your feet wear out and your teeth fall out so you can benefit from them. Get them before the new owners come home!!!"--
JB COMMENTS: ---- When I was in my late teens I met an old man ( mid 60's ) who still lived with his Mother and bragged about what he was going to do after she died and left him a fortune and what he had planned to do - tavel - stay in 5 star hotels, by his own home etc. and I thought his whole attitude towards her and her money so distastful and appalling and eventually, when she died after years in an old peoples home, she had spent the lot, not a penny left, and in his late 60's with no home, no money and no hope, he was destitute and relied on charity and council hand outs and - actually - it served him right. No sympathy.
QUESTION: Who do gay men leave their estate to when they die if they do not have a partner ? Let me know your plans and thoughts.

The Man Who Said He’d Never Have a Dog
The dad in the family always said the same thing: “No dogs in this house! Never!” Every time his kids asked for one, his answer was a big “no.” He thought dogs were too loud, too messy, and too much work. He said he didn’t have time to take care of one.
But that all changed the day he met Bobby.
One rainy morning, he went out like usual to do some shopping. When he walked out of the store, he saw a tiny, wet puppy curled up by a wall. The little dog was shaking, skinny, and looking up at him with sad eyes. At first, he tried to ignore it and kept walking—but something inside him made him stop.
Without thinking, he picked up the puppy, wrapped him in his jacket, and brought him home. He told everyone it was just “for now,” just until he found the dog a home. But as the days went by, Bobby slowly warmed his heart.
Now, the same man who said he’d never have a dog walks around the kitchen with Bobby tucked in his apron. The man who once said “no way” now can’t imagine life without his best furry friend.

A 25lb baby
A Queenslander is drinking in a West Australian Pub when he gets a call on his mobile phone, and as he listens to the call, he starts grinning from ear to ear. Then, when he disconnects, he shouts to the barman that he wants to buy everyone in the bar a drink.
The barman starts serving the drinks, and the people start to crowd around, keen to know what they are celebrating.
"Well," he announces, "My wife's just produced a typical Queensland baby boy weighing 25 pounds".
Nobody can believe that any baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the Queenslander just shrugs, "That's about average in Queensland. Like I said, my boy is a typical Queensland boy."
Congratulations showered him from all around, and many exclamations of "STREWTH" and "BLOODY HELL!" were heard. One woman even fainted due to sympathy pains.
Two weeks later, the Queenslander returns to the same bar. The barman says, "You're the father of that typical Queensland baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth, aren't you? Everybody's been having bets about how big he'd be in 2 weeks, we were going to call you. So - how much does he weigh now?"
The proud father answers: "17 pounds."
The bartender is puzzled and concerned. "What happened? He weighed 25 pounds the day he was born!"
The Queensland father takes a long s-l-o-w swig from his XXXX Gold beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans onto the bar, and proudly says,

"We had him circumcised!"

A teacher said to her class, "Right, I'm going to hold something under the desk and i want you to guess it.
This one is round and red."
Little Johnny's hand shot up, but he was ignored.
"It's a plum miss," said a girl.
"no it's an apple, but I like your thinking.
The next one is oval-shaped and green."
The teacher ignored Little Johnny again and a boy said, "It's a kiwi miss."
No, it's a guava, but I like your thinking."
Little Johnny said, " I got one miss, its stiff, about an inch long, and with a red nib."
"Johny, that's disgusting!" shouted the teacher. " No it's a match, but I like your thinking."
Said Little Johnny.

"You are charged with murdering a garbage man with a chain saw."
From the back of the courtroom, a man shouts, "You lying bastard!"
"Silence in the court!" The judge turns to the defendant again and says, "You are also charged with killing a paperboy with a shovel."
"You tightwad!" blurts the spectator.
"Quiet!" yelled the judge.
"You are also charged with killing a mailman with an electric drill."
"You cheap son of a... " the spectator starts to shout.
The judge thunders back, " I will hold you in contempt! What is the reason for your outbursts?"
"I've lived next to that lying bastard for 10 years now, but do you think he ever had a tool when I needed to borrow one?"
