They have found just a hundred cods left in the North Sea
They have searched the deep seas below,
Found a hundred cods left in the North Sea .
The count cannot be all that wrong surely
By ten deep sea divers on ten fingers ,you see.
They take no chances with their headlines
And rely on own fingers for tens and nines.
According to The Telegraph headline there are “just 100 codleft in the North Sea”.

Dental prose
We love his purple prose for its dental excellence
Here our mother nature is a victim of gingivitis
And the writer is getting to the root of her canal.
But with so much decay ,her teeth cannot be saved.
There is not much to choose between a mum’s gums
And a loving wife’s unrelenting waves of halitosis.
A systems analyst in Canada has been honoured for his
intentionally dreadful purple prose.
Here is his winning entry:
“William, his senses roused by a warm fetid breeze, hoped it
was an early spring’s equinoxal thaw causing rivers to swell
like the blood-engorged gumlines of gingivitis, loosening
winter’s plaque, exposing decay, and allowing the seasonal pot-pouris of Mother Nature’s morning breath to permeate the
surrounding ether, but then he awoke to the unrelenting waves
of his wife’s halitosis.”

Placing ad on tissue is not the real issue
But before or after? This is the main issue
We are confused, do we read it before the act
Or after it, when it will become a non-issue?
Will the innovative lads get their act together

The bomb threat was only from a long-winded bum
Harold Hadley is not in fact a terrorist deadly
He was talking about only wind-breaking, sadly
He had no terrorist leaflets on his body and limb
Except a roll of toilet paper announcing a bomb.
It was basically a foul bomb threat from a bum
A bum can be pretty long-winded from his bum.
ELLISVILLE, MS (WDAM) –
Bond has been set for a JCJC student who was arrested for a
hand written note claiming there was a bomb on campus.
Judge Billie Graham set a $20,000 bond for Harold Wayne
Hadley Jr., 19. Hadley was arrested at his home in Seminary on
Tuesday after the note was found in a bathroom at the
industrial services building on the JCJC campus. In all, 11
agencies responded to the threat, but no bomb was found.
Officials said Hadley was arrested after they matched hishandwriting to the note, which was written on toilet paper. His
family says the word “bomb” is often used by Hadley in
reference to a bodily function and not an explosive device.
“He was in the restroom doodling on some toilet paper and I
am going to just let modesty go and tell you we are from the
country, and so he calls passing gas, bombs,” said Hadley’s
Aunt. “So, he was doodling on the toilet paper and put I passed
a bomb in the library, talking about passing gas and somebody
come in and found it, give it to the teacher that recognized his
hand writing and it blow all out of proportion.”

To drive away all domestic blues.
It is here they can be quite loose
With their morals, stay a recluse,
Escaping from dishes with no ruse
And any other human right abuse.
According to men in Britain, the bathroom is the only place where
they can be sure of absolute privacy by hiding behind a locked door.Twenty percent said they’d been told off for taking too long and over
a third confessed they spend more time in the toilet than with their

Mumbai: When Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise landed in Mumbai
he was elated to find fans teeming outside the Mumbai airport to
greet him. The star smiled and waved at his fans and got inside his
car and left for his hotel. Moments later his so called fans were paid
by a coordinator for turning up at the airport.According to a news website, around 200 people were paid Rs 150
for playing the role of screaming fans at the airport when the
Hollywood star arrived. A model coordinator had arranged for the
junior artists to play the ‘role’ of Tom’s Indian fans.
Funnily enough, most of them had no clue who Tom Cruise was.

“As always, I work without interruption and if occasionally I happen
to look a beautiful girl in the face, it’s better to like beautiful girls
than to be gay,” he tells a meeting at a motorcycle industry show in
Milan (Berluscuni)
When it comes to pretty girls,
Berluscuni is a real workaholic
He often works without interruption
In any matter of fun and frolic.
Occasionally he looks at them In the eye as a gesture symbolic.
In widely reported wiretapped conversations, Berlusconi brags of
fending off a line of young women outside his door and “doing only
eight girls, because I couldn’t do more.”
Berlusconi is no doubt a handsome hunk mainly Who can make a sassy lassie feel pretty lonely.

Mahatma Gandhi was so poor he had no money for salt
Mahatma Gandhi was so poor that he had no money for salt
Gandhi had to walk all the way to Dandi to collect free salt
So poor was Mr. Gandhi, he had to walk barefoot on asphalt
With no money to travel from Sabarmati to Dandi, what a jolt!
Coming from indigent circumstances was surely not his fault
This must be borne in mind by every patriot worth his salt.
MK Gandhi lead the Dandi march for what main reason?
Lack of salt – Kedar Bhatia, Ruia College (Mumbai) Gandhiji wanted to collect clothes – Nitin Rao, SIES College
(Mumbai)
The result of a quiz conducted recently among college
students on the occasion of India’s Independence day.The
ignorance of the country’s history is hilarious.Or was that
deliberate act of modern day cynicism?
Mahatma Gandhi had led India’s struggle for independence
against the British and as part of the non-cooperation
movement he launched the salt satyagraha i.e.marching to the
sea shore at Dandi to make salt to protest against the
imposition of the salt tax by the British government.

Controversy’s favourite child – Poonam Pandey – sure knows
how to steer a storm. Hot on the heels of turning down amulti-crore offer to strip on national television, Poonam has
decided to champion the cause of women through a Slut Walk
in Mumbai in September.
What encouraged her to take on the cause was the alarming
rate of crimes against women. Rapes, eve-teasing, molestation,
have been on the rise in most cities across the country. Andeach time for some reason or the other, the woman is blamed
for the crime.
“It’s almost like the woman was at fault that she was raped.
How can we let such heinous crimes go unpunished and berate
the victim instead for it,” said Poonam.
Seeing an urgent need to organise and support the cause of
the Slut Walk, the leggy lass volunteered to lead the march in
September.

A bikini car wash is the right thin’ for his win.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is currently
contemplating a run for a third presidential term ahead ofelections in March of 2012, and the stoic authoritarian has an
interesting support-building team in his corner. Attempting to
mobilize votes through sex appeal, a group of nubile young
women called “Putin’s Army” has formed around a Russian
social-networking site called V Kontakte. Earlier this month,
“Putin’s Amazons,” as they’ve been dubbed by Russian media,
shot a racy video in which they stripped in support of their guy.
Following that stunt, Army members showed their devotion by
offering free bikini car washes outside of a Moscow State
University building.

Even Shakespeare will fail to get admission in this college
Our proud college admits only those who have secured a
minimum of 100% marks
So high are their standards that Shakespeare will be classed as
one of the dorks
We are sure that in English grammar and literature the bard
would have plunked
And incurred a shortfall of one or two marks in 100%, due to a
few classes bunked.
New Delhi: Taking a dig at the 100 percent cut-off at a DelhiUniversity college, Communist Party of India Marxist (CPI-M)
leader Sitaram Yechury said Wednesday even Shakespeare
would not get 100 percent if he were to write an exam today.
‘Even if Shakespeare were to come back and give an English
exam today, he will not score 100 percent,’ Yechury said.

He was getting old ; she would jog his memory
But sir, it was only two hours ago we had done it!
It is not true that he has forgotten about the last time
Or that his memory has turned itsy-bitsy lately.
These serious matters cannot simply wait, you see.
Controversial Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been
filmed making a lewd joke about his secretary.
Berlusconi, who is facing a charge of paying a 17-year-old for
sex, cracked the lewd joke while being interviewed – before
asking the media persons to make it off the record.
The billionaire tycoon was asked to recall the best manager to
lead AC Milan, the Italian football club he is president of. “LookI am getting old. This morning I was chasing my secretary to
do her on the table and she said: ‘Prime Minister we only did it
two hours ago.’ So you see my memory is going,” the Daily
Mail quoted him as saying in the film.
