Ok here's another one I received this morning, so it's a cut and paste job...here go's.......


FROM ROLLS ROYCE STAFF MAGAZINE
Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! (true story...

Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets all travelling at maximum velocity.

The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.

American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the Windshields of their new high speed trains.

Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the American engineers.

When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin like an arrow shot from a bow..

The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions.

Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo:


"Defrost the chicken."

A true story from the pages of the Manchester Evening News . . .

Last Wednesday a passenger in a taxi heading for Salford station leaned
over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on the shoulder to
get his attention.
The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up
over the curb and stopped just inches from a large plate window.
For a few moments everything was silent in the cab. Then, the shaking
driver said "are you OK? I'm so sorry, but you scared the daylights out of
me."

The badly shaken passenger apologized to the driver and said, "I didn't
realize that a mere tap on the shoulder would startle someone so badly."
The driver replied, "No, no, I'm the one who is sorry, it's entirely my
fault. Today is my very first day driving a cab.


I've been driving a hearse for 25 years."

A man walks into a pub with a crock on a lead .
the barman squeals get that out of here it will get my customers .
Its harmless
get it out
look I will show you
he opens its mouth pulls his zip down and pops his willy into its mouth everyone is aghast
he thumps it on the head , then again and again and one last huge thump . Nothing . He pops it back in his trousers shuts the crock's mouth .
Turns to the barman and said told you its safe
Wow he said never seen anything like it .
The man then turns to the people in the pub would anyone like a go .
A woman at the back said yes me I would like a go but dont hit me on the head so hard .

( By the way my mother told me that one when in her late 70s )

Don't worry about tomorrow, you already did that yesterday

Interesting facts on investments.


If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you
would have £49.00 today

If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have
£33.00 today.

If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you
would have £0.00 today.

If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Northern Rock three years ago, you
would have £0.00 today

But, if you had purchased £1,000 worth of beer one year ago at Tescos,
drank all the beer,then taken the aluminium cans to the scrap metal dealer,
you
would have received £214.00.


Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily &
recycle.



And then..........................


A recent study found that the average Briton walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found that Britons drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a
year.

That means that, on average, Britons get about 41 miles to the gallon!

Makes you proud to be British.
