Are there any original jokes out there?

So in the spirit of keeping boredom abay at the office, a friend recommended this website www.toomuchfreetime.eu.
I particularly liked their, dare I say, really original jokes. Here is one of the good ones:
As they led a man to the gallows a thunder storm broke out.“Terrible weather for it,” says the prisoner. “I don’t know what your worried about,” says the hangman, “I’ve got to walk back in it.”

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

I am a big fan, the world has never seen greater musical genius. A legend.

Wish list

Disclaimer: This is a completely materialistic list based upon which no judgement must be passed on the writer.

1. A Burberry trench coat. The desire alone makes me want to weep!

2. A job at the newly baptised Department of International Affairs and Cooperation. Hire me already!

Actually, that is kind of it really. If you were hoping that I would put world peace on the list, watch the next installment of Miss South Africa Teen! *evil laugh*. Ok, I think I'm having too much fun. *gets back to work*

Venus eat your heart out!

My grandmother was a Tennis champ. Serious. This was back in the days of the former Transkei. She used to tell stories of how the women were not even competition for her anymore; she'd play against the guys, AND win. She was a remarkable woman.

7 things that make me go Eish!

1. Terrible service. I went to the pharmacy a few evenings ago and the assistant let me know that, with my medical aid, I would need to pay-in an additional R120. I asked her to check generic alternatives. She replied, "you would need to pay more or less the same amount with all of them." So off I go to get some cash from an ATM and return only to be assisted by someone else. I point out to her what I need and she says to me there is a cheaper alternative, in fact I need not pay in a cent! So the first assistant was just being a monumental cow.

2. Skinny jeans on grown men. Please guys, leave it to the teenagers and celebs like Chris Brown.

3. Each time a big-shot team like Spain loses to an "underdog" like the US. Eish! I was so proud when Egypt almost gave Brazil a run for their money.

4. Generations. Need I say more?

5. Taxi drivers who STILL make you sit 4-4.

6. Sold-out tickets to the Blacks Only Comedy festival.

7. Playing Spider Solitaire in the office all day.

What makes YOU go Eish!

Too late?

Hello everyone and welcome to the first of what will be many more posts to come. When the idea of staring my own blog first hit me, I thought to myself how nice it would be to write about humour, but soon abandoned that idea because the only people who seem to share my sense of humour are my mother and me! So I thought let me be true to myself and just get on with whatever is on my mind.

Yesterday I was musing to myself that I should get myself a pair of skinny jeans, this is years after they hit store shelves. Am I a "late bloomer" of sorts? Now this has happened with other (fashion) trends; those "Palestinian" scarves (which I never got round to buying anyway), that cute-top and leggings combination... the list is ineaxhaustible. Now bear in mind that I have never really considered myself a fashion slave, so why these "regrets".

When blogging became prominent a few years ago, I brushed it off as another passing cyberspace phase. I created my Facebook profile only a few months ago (shock horror!). Now, does this, dear reader, mean that I resist trends only to succumb to them at a later stage when the said phenomenon might not even be so trendy anymore? Is it ever too late? Well, for me, late bloomer that I am, clearly not!
