Mr and Mrs Onion are out in the garden on a sunny day in middle suburbia. Mrs Onion is hanging out the laundry whilst Mr Onion is busy doing the Times crossword (poser!). Anyway, their son is playing with his football, kicking it this way, and that, and the birds are twittering, generally a pretty idilic picture until baby Onion kicks his ball a little too hard and it rolls out onto the road. He runs out to retrieve the errant item and promptly gets knocked down by a passing lorry. Later, at the Hospital, a Dr comes over to the very distressed couple with news of their son. "Well Mr and Mrs Onion, I have some good news and some bad news" "What is the good news Doctor?" ask the worried couple, "Your son suffered serious injuries but I believe that he will survive" "Oh thank you Doctor, but what is the bad news?" enquire the Onions, "I'm afraid he will be a vegetable for the rest of his life!" ______________________________________________________________ He hadn't a single redeeming vice.

The man he asked replied "Just drive down this road about 5 miles and then turn left at the Stop n Go." He drove 5 miles, then 6, then 7. At about 10 miles down he stopped for directions again. The man he asked replied "Just go back down this road about 5 miles and turn right at the Stop n Go" He headed out again but still had no luck. When he got back to where he had started he stopped again. When he ask for directions the answer was exactly the same. This time Jim asked "Could you describe the Stop n Go for me?" The man gave him a funny look and said "It's on a pole. It's got a red light on the top, a Green light on the bottom...." _____________________________________________________________________ A hack golfer spends a day at a plush country club, playing golf & enjoying the luxury of a complimentary caddy. Being a hack golfer, he plays poorly all day. Round about the 18th hole, he spots a lake off to the left of the fairway. He looks at the caddy and says, "I've played so poorly all day, I think I'm going to go drown myself in that lake." The caddy looks back at him and says, "I don't think you could keep your head down that long." _______________________________________________________________________________ Two New Yorkers were driving a semi down a road when they came to a viaduct. The sign said 10 feet zero inches, so they got out to measure their truck. Unfortunately, the truck was just over 12 feet high. They didn't know what to do, when finally one of them looked both directions and said, "I don't see any cops, let's go for it.!"
