Twelve Pound Gold


A Husband and Wife, both were very happy over the twelve pound baby boy that was born to them. Mr. Brown who could not conceal his delight, called up the editor of a famous newspaper and reported that he became the proud owner of  a "twelve pound nugget of gold". The editor upon hearing the seemingly extraordinary news was rather hesitant to accept it at its face value. So he sent his star reporter to interview Mr. Brown.
 
When the reporter came, Mr. Brown was away and his wife was alone at home.
 The following interesting conversation took place between the reporter and Mrs. Brown:
 
Reporter : Does Mr. Brown Live here?
Mrs. Brown : Oh! Yes.
 
Reporter : Is he in?
Mrs. Brown : Why no, he went somewhere.
 
Reporter : Is it true that he owns a "twelve pound nugget of gold"?
Mrs. Brown : (Seeing the joke) Yes, indeed.
 
Reporter : Can I see the place where he found it?
Mrs. Brown : I am afraid, not because Mr. Brown objects in as much as it is strictly private.
 
Reporter : Is the place far?
Mrs. Brown : No, it is quite near and convenient.
 
Reporter : How many years has Mr. Brown been digging the hole?
Mrs. Brown : Just for about ten months.
 
Reporter : Is the hole deep?
Mrs. Brown : Quite so...
 
Reporter : Has Mr. Brown reached the bottom of it?
Mrs. Brown : Not yet, but he is coming near...
 
Reporter : At about what time does Mr. Brown starts digging?
Mrs. Brown : Oh, he does his digging mostly at night.
 
Reporter : Does he work hard on it?
Mrs. Brown : You bet...........and how he perspires.
 
Reporter : Is Mr. Brown the first to dig?
Mrs. Brown : He thought he was...
 
Reporter : How do you know there was someone ahead of him?
Mrs. Brown : I am in a good position to say so, because I owe the place.
 
Reporter : Oh, I see, but you sold the place to Mr. Brown?
Mrs. Brown : No, but for the present, he has the legal title to the site, with my consent.
 
Reporter : Has Mr. Brown any helper when he works on the claim?
Mrs. Brown : Yes, I work under him...
 
Reporter : When do you think Mr. Brown will sell the place?
Mrs. Brown : I think not because he enjoys working on it.
 
Reporter : Can I see the twelve pound nugget of gold?
Mrs. Brown : Yes, certainly (and she showed him the twelve pound baby boy).
 
P.S.: The reporter has to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
 

Flight Attendant

This  joke is from our dutch collegue

A guy, sitting in Danny's Bar at Singapore's Changi Airport, noticed a very beautiful woman sitting next to him.
He thought to himself, "Wow, she's so gorgeous she must be a flight attendant. But which airline does she work for?"

Hoping to pick her up, he leaned towards her and uttered the Delta Airlines Slogan: "Love to fly and it shows?"
She gave him a blank, confused stare and he immediately thought to himself, "Damn, she doesn't work for Delta".

A moment later, another slogan popped into his head. He leaned towards her again, "Something special in the air?"
She gave him the same confused look.
He mentally kicked himself, and scratched Singapore Airlines off the list.
Next he tried the Thai Airways slogan: "Smooth as silk."
This time the woman turned on him "What the f**k do you want?
The man smiled, then slumped back in his chair,
and said, "Ahhhhh...... KLM !"
