Hi Adrienne

This is well written. I read another posting which suggested that
these jokes would be better in rec.humour. I couldn't rationalise
my feelings at the time and didn't feel like telling these jokes to
the general anonymous public.

Thanks for clearing my mind and lets hear a few more, anyone?

Or how about some amusing incidents...

A friend of mine decided to take her large dog for a walk. She
achieved this by attaching the leash to the handles on the back of
her chair. This worked fine, he was a well behaved dog. Until he
saw a CAT. The cat was at 90deg to the direction of travel so the
cat took off down an alley with a dog in close pursuit and just
behind the dog was one wheelchair minus occupant. My friend was
left sitting in the middle of the road. A kind track driver stopped
his rig in the middle of the road to prevent anyone hitting my
friend (I don't know why he didn't carry her to the footpath) and
went to retrieve her chair.

My friend was terribly embarrased at the time but enjoyed relating
the story over lunch.

	Cheers..
