The Highways Agency found over two hundred dead crows on the M4 near Slough recently, and there was immediate concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.

A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts.

However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with lorries, while only 2% were killed by cars.

The Agency then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills. The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger.

... They discovered that whilst all the lookout crows could shout "Cah!" - not a single one could shout "Lorry!"

Lovely malicious satire to catch the uninitiated (a bit like the warnings about DHMO) :twisted:

Two words: Source criticism; And I guess one of the first principles would be "Does it make sense?" ;)

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shone his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said,

'Jesus knows you're here.'

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight Off, and froze.

When he heard nothing more, after a bit, he shook his head and continued.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so He could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he
heard 'Jesus is watching you.'

Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.


Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.

'Yep', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he is
watching you.'

The burglar relaxed.. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you ?'

'Moses,' replied the bird.

'Moses?' the burglar laughed.
'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?

'The kind of people that would name a
Rottweiler Jesus.'

Guy makes his first jump from an airplane.
He pulls his ripcord... no chute.
Pulls the reserve... nothing.
He sees his life passing before his eyes when he passes someone on the way up.
"You know anything about parachutes!?" he screams upwards.
"No," came the loud reply. "You know anything about gaaaaas stooooooooves!?"

TBH, im kinda a stupid person, I laugh at any stupid jokes. Like yesterday, I read a math joke from a site, if you walk into a bar and order root beer in a square glass, you will get beer. :)

Man! What a pilot, who made that splash-down... Big respect!

Though I think, it should be a "special take-off procedure"... 8)

Nice find! :)
