Gnome Humor / Translating road signs
Last post by medimus - September 04, 2021, 08:35:51 pm
True story (because sometimes truth is funnier than fiction).

In Wales, it's required that road signage be bilingual, English and Welsh.  A while back, a sign was required to prohibit heavy trucks from going through a residential area.  The English was done first ("No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential area only."), and that English was emailed off to a translation department for the Welsh version.  The resulting translation ("Nid wyf yn y swyddfa ar hyn o bryd. Anfonwch unrhyw awith i'w gyfieitu.") was put onto the sign below the English version, and the sign was then mounted by the road.

(if that doesn't display see https://www.dropbox.com/s/kuxhu4trxigzqfj/welsh_sign.jpg?dl=0

After a short while native Welsh speakers began to let the road department know of a problem.  The Welsh part of the sign actually translated to "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated."

The sign was duly removed and re-built.

Gnome Humor / Statues
Last post by medimus - July 27, 2021, 05:29:37 pm
For decades, two heroic statues, one male and one female, faced each other in a city park.  One day an angel came down from heaven and told them, "You two have been such exemplary statues that I'm going to give you a special gift.  I'm going to bring you both to life for thirty minutes, during which time you can do anything you want."  Then, with a clap of his hands, the angel brought the statues to life.

The two approached each other a bit shyly and whispered to each other for a moment, then they dashed for the nearby bushes. After a good deal of giggling, laughter, and shaking of branches, the two emerged fifteen minutes later with wide grins on their faces.  "You still have fifteen more minutes," the angel reminded then, winking.

The female statue grinned even more broadly and turned to the male statue.  "Great!  Let's do that again - only this time YOU hold down the pigeon and I'll poop on its head!"

Gnome Humor / "9-1-1, what's your emergency?...
Last post by medimus - July 16, 2021, 01:30:36 pm
Two friends were out hunting in the woods one morning when one of them just - collapsed. The other rushed over to check on him and found that he wasn't breathing, his eyes were fixed, and he didn't seem to have a pulse.  His friend grabbed his cell phone and saw that he still had pretty weak coverage, so he called 9-1-1.  When the operator answered he shrieked out, "I think my friend is dead! What do I do???"

"Stay calm," the operator told him.  "Stay calm. Now first, let's make sure he's actually dead."

The operator heard silence, then "BLAM!" A moment later he was back on the phone. "OK, now what?"

Gnome Humor / Peas
Last post by medimus - June 11, 2021, 12:50:47 pm
What's the difference between black-eye peas and chickpeas?

Black-eyed peas can sing us a song, but chickpeas can only hummus one.

(yeah, I know it's bad - but you're still chuckling...)

Gnome Humor / The Lamp
Last post by medimus - April 29, 2021, 03:28:57 pm
A poor little lonely old lady lived in a house with only her cat as a friend. One day, the lights went out as she sat knitting; she had been unable to pay the electric bill. So, she went up to the attic and got an old oil lamp from her childhood. As she rubbed it clean a genie appeared and allowed her three wishes.

"First, I want to be so rich I never have to worry about money again."

"Second, I want to be young and beautiful again."

"And last, I want you to change my little cat into a handsome prince."

POOF!

As the smoke cleared she saw she was surrounded by big bags of coins, and that in the mirror was a young beautiful woman. She turned as the handsome prince walked in the door, held her in his arms and said, "Now I'll bet you're sorry you took me to the vet for that little operation."

Gnome Humor / Highway Patrol
Last post by medimus - April 08, 2021, 03:27:19 pm
(This is more than likely an urban legend, but my source says it's true.  /shrug...)

A cute blonde was pulled over for speeding by a California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer. When he walked up to her window and opened his ticket book she said, "I bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the Highway Patrolman's Ball."

He replied, "No, ma'am. Highway Patrolmen don't have balls."

There followed a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what he'd said. He then closed his book, got back on his motorcycle and left.

She was laughing too hard to start her car for several minutes.
