The Bicycle Repairman
Bush and Powell were sitting in a bar. A guy walks in and asks the barman, "Ain't that Bush and Powell?"
The barman replies: "Yep that's them."
So the guy walks over and said: "Hello, what you guys up to?"
Bush said: "We're planning World War 3!"
The guys asks excitedly: "Really? What's gonna happen?
Bush says: "Well, we're gonna kill 10 million Iraqis and one bicycle repairman."
The guy exclaims: "Why are you gonna kill a bicycle repairman?!"
Bush turns to Powell and says: "See I told you no one would care about the 10 million Iraqis!"
The barman replies: "Yep that's them."

"The bloody tower..."
Once upon a time Dracula decided to hold a competition to see which was the cchampion bat in his household. All the bats were honoured to take part.
The rules were simple: Whichever bat drinks the most blood will be the winner.
So the first bat goes and comes back after 10 minutes, her mouth sovered in blood.
Dracula says: "Congratulations! How did you do that?"
The bat said: "You see that tower? Behind it is a house. I went in and sucked the blood of the family."
"Very good," said Dracula.
The second bat goes and somes back after five minutes, her face covered in blood.
Dracula is astonished and says: "How did you do that?"
The bat replies: ""You see that tower? Behind it is a school. I went in and sucked the blood of all the children."
"Impressive," said Dracula.
Now the last bat goes and comes back barely a minute later, literally drenched in blood.
Dracula is stunned. "How on earth did you do that?", he asked.
The bat replied: "You see that tower?"
Dracula: "Yes?"
And the bat says: "Well I didn't."

Her lift doesn't quite go to the top floor
Ok just so you know who we're talking about, but I can't say explicitly, let's just call her Letchbo.
And she insisted that Terry Fox ran 42 HOURS a day to raise funds for cancer research. Go figure

Two goats and a car
This is an interesting maths problem taken from Mark Haddon's excellent book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time":
You are in a game show on television. On this game show the idea is to win a car as a prize. The game show host shows you three doors. He says that there is a car behind one of the doors and there are goats behind the other two doors. He asks you to pick a door. You pick a door but the door is not opened. Then the game show opens a door that you did not pick to show a goat (because he knows what is behind the doors). Then he says that you have one final chance to change your mind before the doors are opened and you get a car or a goat. So he asks you if you want to change your mind and pick the other unopened door instead. What should you do?
Are the odds of you winning the car higher, lower or the same if you change your mind and pick the other door?
I will supply the answer with a diagram as explanantion in about three days. In the meantime please explain your answers in the comments feature. I was pretty bowled over by the answer myself, and yet it was mathematically flawless.
If you need more time just let me know, too.

2-1 again!
Well we didn't need no Diego Forlan this time, as Mickael Silvestre popped up just when it looked like United's embarassing superiority was going to go unrewarded again.
Twice the ball rocketed off the Frenchman's bald pate from the unerring accuracy of Giggs' left foot, and twice Jerzy Dudek grabbed air, although his defenders were the bumbling ones this time.
For all the guile of Luis Garcia and Xabi Alonso, and the more direct threat of Djibril Cisse and Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool attack simply had no answer to the way United were closing them down.
All the pre-match hype about the goalkeepers being the weak link failed to materialise, with Roy Carroll replacing Tim Howard, and Dudek having a decent outing.
United flew out of the blocks, as they threw everyone forward in search of a settling early goal. Instead, the Liverpool goal seemed to lead a charmed life, as Cristiano Ronaldo teased and tortured the Riise and Kewell, and even hit the woodwork with Dudek beaten.
This was no one-half wonder, as United possessed a hunger that seemed to signal that their season started now, with Rio Ferdinand proving a rock on which Liverpool foundered.
It was breathtaking stuff, as the swagger and one-touch football returned, and quite simply, Rafa Benitez's men could not cope.
In the end, 2-1 was a flattering result, as United could have been at least three-up by the break. But as Jose Mourinho would say, it is just three points.
But it is also just United's second win in six games. Nevertheless, they can take heart from three points off a title contender, as well as an assured display from the United defence.

Well it took many many months to make my day, but she finally did it. My bestest friend (let's call her Minah for anonymity's sake) finally contacted me as she got a mobile phone again, after we lost contact for a few months. I'm so overjoyed I forget when it was that I last talked to her, let alone saw her. But let's forget that. Can't wait to see you again, Minah. =]
