Finally! After three weeks without Internet I'm finally back on Warrior Forum!

Oh man... It has been three long and hard weeks and I did never think I was so depending of the Internet. :p

Do you have a joke? While you're thinking of one or trying to find one, you'll get one here from me:


A Blonde Goes On Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

Regis: "Barbara, you've done very well so far - $500,000 and one lifeline left -- phone a friend.

The next question will give you the top prize of One Million dollars if you get it right ... but if you get it wrong you will drop back to $32,000 -- are you ready?"

Barbara: "Sure, I'll have a go!"

Regis: "Which of the following birds does not build it's own nest?

Is it........

A-Robin

B-Sparrow

C-Cuckoo

D-Thrush

Remember Barbara its worth 1 Million dollars."

"I think I know who it..but I'm not 100%...

No, I haven't got a clue. I'd like to phone a friend Regis, just to be sure.

Regis: "Yes, who, Barbara, do you want to phone?

Barbara: "I'll phone my friend Maggie back home in Birmingham."

(ringing)

Maggie (also a blonde): "Hello..."

Regis: "Hello Maggie, its Regis here from Who Wants to be a Millionaire-I have Barbara here and she is doing really well on $500,000, but needs your help to be a Million.

The next voice you hear will be Barbara's and she'll read you the question.

There are 4 possible answers and 1 correct answer and you have 30 seconds to answer -- fire away Barbara."

Barbara: "Maggie, which of the following birds does not build it's own nest? Is it:

A-Robin

B-Sparrow

C-Cuckoo

D-Thrush"

Maggie: "Oh Gees, Barbara that's simple.....It's a Cuckoo."

Barbara: "You think?"

Maggie: "I'm sure."

Barbara: " Thanks Maggie." (hangs up)

Regis: "Well, do you want to stick on $500,000 or play on for the Million, Barbara?"

Barbara: "I want to play, I'll go with C-Cuckoo"

Regis: "Is that your final answer?"

Barbara: "It is."

Regis: "Are you confident?"

Barbara: "Yes fairly, Maggie's a sound bet."

Regis: "Barbara.....you had $500,000 and you said C-Cuckoo ...you're right! - You have just won ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

Here is your check. You have been a great contestant and a real gambler. Audience please put your hands together for Barbara."

(clapping)

That night Barbara calls round to Maggie and brings her down to a local bar for a celebration drink and, as they are sipping their Champagne, Barbara turns to Maggie and asks "Tell me Maggie, How in God's name did you know that it was the Cuckoo that does not build its own nest?

Maggie: "Listen Barbara, everybody knows that a Cuckoo lives in a clock."

      Nothing. My father's house burned down so I helped him to move in to a new house and I helped him to renovate it (no, we aren't finish). He haven't got any Internet connection yet because it takes a while to get it.:p

          Thank you for that. Everyone is fine and none were at home when it burned.

            Welcome back taskemann!

            It's great to have you back safe and sound.

            Lol, to your blond joke.

            Oh and I'm going to share that one with my son, as blonde jokes are his favorite.

        Welcome back, Jimmy. Great joke. Glad to hear everyone is OK but sorry your dad lost his house.

        My dad had his house burn down twice, and a huge horsebarn on another occasion. The odd thing is that two of the three fires were on April Fool's Day. Not sure about the other one. Even odder, on the first one I was in the third grade and we heard the sirens. I stood up in class and said I had to go, it was my place burning. Needless to say I was reprimanded and told to sit down. As it turned out, it was my place.

        I'd pay to know what the teacher thought when she found that out.

          I'm so sorry to hear that Dennis. The house which burned down were my childhood home too and it hurted so bad when I saw it.

          Here is a picture which one of my father's neighbours took with his iPotato:



          After this picture were taken, the house collapsed due to a explosion...


          If I were you Dennis, I would visit your old teacher and ask her because it would be funny to know. If she's alive of course.

            Looks like a nice area where the house was, wooded and hilly. What is your dad going to do with the land?

            As for my teacher, good chance she's not alive any longer. She could be, but that was almost 50 years ago so she'd probably be in her 90's now. Even if she was I wouldn't know how to find her. I only know her last name, Brown, which is a pretty common name. Too much effort for an idle curiosity.

              He had insurance on the house so he will build a new one and sell it because he has already bought the house which he moved into now. He bought it for many months ago and the plan was actually to sell the old one and move into the new one. :p

              Yes, the land is very beautiful and it's only 40-50 feet to the sea from it and it's a huge forest behind it.

              Yeah, I think she's too old. If she is alive, she may not remember it because old people forget things so easily.

    Hey Jimmy - good to see ya back here. When I saw the joke I thought maybe you'd been vacationing in Baden-Baden.

    Sorry about the old home. I hope that working on the new one proves to be an awesome experience and also that it proves to be a comfortable place for your father.
