Wednesday's funny: 😀🐊Crocodile Farm🐊😀

When a group of tourists visited a crocodile farm, the owner of the place launched a daring proposal, "Whoever dares to jump, swim to shore and survive, I will give $1 million dollars."

Nobody dared to move, suddenly a man jumped into the water and desperately swam towards the shore while he was chased by all the crocodiles.

With great luck he arrived, taking the admiration of everyone in the place, then the owner announced; "We have a brave winner."

After collecting their reward, the couple returned to the hotel.
Upon arrival, the manager told him that he was very brave to jump, then the man said, "I didn't jump, someone pushed me!"

His wife smiled ...

Moral: "Behind every successful man, there is a woman who pushes him."

Thursday's funny: 😀🦘Sydney, Australia🦘😀

Fiona from Henderson

A Swiss guy visited Sydney, Australia, and pulled up at a bus stop where two locals were waiting.

"Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asked.

The two Aussies just stared at him.

"Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he tried.

The two Aussies just stared at him.

"Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he tried.

The two continued to stare.

"Parlare Italiano?"

Other than a glance at each other, there was still no response.

"Hablan ustedes Espanol?"

Still nothing.

The Swiss guy gave up and drove off, extremely disgusted.
When he was gone, the first Aussie turned to the second and said, "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language."

"Why?" the other replied. "That guy knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good."

A similar initiative was launched in Australia at the start of the month, and buses became known as “Jabba the Bus”.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has challenged the public to come up with a better name, but has ruled out “Busey McBusface”.

SHORT SHARP LOCKDOWN

Linda from Henderson

When Delta first showed up in NZ the Govt's words were. "Short, sharp lockdown"
I do not consider 5 weeks in level 4, and probably at least another 2 in useless level 3 as being a short sharp lockdown.
Nearly 2 months out of people's lives.
Roll on the day when those of us who … View more
