Just For Fun
Created | Updated Jun 22, 2003
Hi, welcome to the first 'Just For Fun'. This is the part of 'The Post', where we welcome reader interaction. Yes I want to hear from you, in fact I need to hear from you, as that is what's going to make this page. I need your jokes, your funny stories and things you think will bring a smile to our readers faces.
This page will hopefully be full of fun things to read and do, including, a weekly joke section, fun quiz and of course not forgetting your letters. You could also make suggestions on how to improve this page, or something you would like to see here. Wacky adverts, odd animals, silly computer jokes, just drop me a line, and the best will be in 'The Post', the following week.
O.K., on to Just For Fun...

Joke Of The Week
Greebo, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.
'Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?'
Greebo said
'How about 100 pounds?'
The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage.
The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband;
'Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?'
The man replied;
'She should. She was standing on the porch.'
A short time later, Greebo came to the door to collect her money.
'You're finished already?'
he asked.
'Yes'
Greebo answered;
'and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.'
Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the £100.
'And by the way'
Greebo added
'that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari.'
Name That Song
Each week I will print a quote from a song, all you have to do is guess the title of the song and who sang it. Answers will be published in next weeks Post. This one is 'Just For Fun' folks, so don't E-Mail me the answers.
Quote:'...we only sacrifice the future, it's the bitterness that lasts'
Best On The Web
Each week I plan to show you at least one page on the web that has got to win an award somewhere, even it is 'The Oddest Web Page on the Net Award'. So if you know a web page that I should check out for inclusion in this section, then e-mail me and let me know. Remember to keep it clean folks...
The very first entry is one of my all time favorites, and is a permenant fixture on my h2g2 homepage. It is of course,'The Flying Cow'... a simple game, but very hard to win, and it keeps you coming back for more. It's a laugh, and it's a game of skill. Go check it out HERE
Letters
Send your funny letters etc. to me, and you might see them published.
Dear Greebo,
I have been unable to sleep since I broke off our engagement. Won't you forgive and forget? Your absence is breaking my heart. I was a fool, nobody can take your place. I love you.
All my love,
Harry Ford. xxxxoooxxxx
P.S. Congratulations on winning this week's lottery.
Dear Greebo,
I saw this in a newspaper, thought you might think it was funny...
Tourists are causing a lot of anxiety... and are costing money... to a tiny village where signs keep disappearing.
What do the signs read?
'Welcome to F**king, Austria.'
Pronounced 'fooking', the little hamlet of F**king is named after the man who founded the village in the 6th century. His name? Focko.
The town sign has been stolen seven times in the last few months. With signs costing several hundred dollars apiece, much of the tiny town's budget is being spent replacing the signs, says Siegfried Hoeppel, the Mayor of F**king, He went on to express his hope that further thefts will be avoided through the use of increased concrete and... bigger screws!!!!.
Regards,
A. Researcher
