Jokes while we wait

As we are all waiting with baited breath for the release of issue 14 I thought I'd share some jokes a friend sent me today. Has anyone got any others?




* Why have estate agents stopped looking out of the window in the morning?
Because otherwise they'd have nothing to do in the afternoon


*As a surprise, a chief exec's wife pops by his office. She finds him in an unorthodox position, with his secretary sitting in his lap. Slightly ruffled, he immediately starts dictating: "and in conclusion, gentlemen, credit crunch or no credit crunch, I cannot continue to operate this office with just one chair."

* What's the difference between an investment banker and a pigeon?
The pigeon can still leave a deposit on a new Ferrari.

*A reporter on his way home from Parliament is stuck in traffic. He asks a police officer, 'What's the hold-up?' The policeman replies: 'It's about the Prime Minister. He's so depressed he's stopped his motorcade and is threatening to douse himself with petrol and set himself on fire. He says it's because people blame him for the credit crunch. So we're taking up a collection for him.'
The man asks: 'How much have you got so far?'
The officer replies: 'About 40 gallons, but a lot of people are still siphoning.'

* Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and Peter Mandelson are flying to a world economic summit. Peter looks at Alistair and chuckles: 'You know, I could throw a £50 note out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.'
Alistair shrugs his shoulders and says: 'Well, I could throw five £10 notes out of the window and make five people very happy.
' Gordon says: 'Of course, but I could throw ten £5 notes out of the window and make ten people very happy.'
The pilot rolls his eyes, looks at all of them, and says: 'Listen, how about if I throw all of you out of the window and make the whole country happy.'


*Latest news: The Isle of Dogs bank has collapsed. They've called in the retrievers.


* Bradford & Bingley employees are concerned they were given no notice of the takeover by Santander Bank.
A spokesman said: 'No one expected the Spanish acquisition.'

* You know it's a credit crunch when...
The cashpoint asks if you can spare any change..
There's a 'buy one, get one free' offer - on banks.
The Inland Revenue is offering a 25 per cent discount to anyone who can pay.
Gordon Brown has stopped chewing his nails and started sucking his thumb.
Your builder asks to be paid in Zimbabwean dollars rather than sterling.
Highgrove has been repossessed.
Victoria Beckham is shopping in Primark.

So... I14 is just that and nothing else?
How... Underwhelming.

Is a tad bit hard missing the MA since they throw it in your face almost 24/7.

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, if you think about it, adding the Mission Architect effectively gives players a shed load more content than an "average" update would, for the simple fact that a lot of it is going to be player-created.


Characters:
The Heroic Mary Grace (50)
The Mystical Thunderspark (50)
The Candy-loving Little Jenny (50)

Twenty-four seven, yet I can't get enough. Want moar.

Also, why did mum post without supplying some of her own? I'm nearly dissapointed.
Also also, Chatarsis' avatar scares me.

Which technically could mean that I15 actually have more content rather than just one major feature?


See what I did there?

Police are monitoring a troublesome bar full of drunk men. A man walks out of the bar and one of the policemen tests his breath. The breathylzer shows 0.0 and the policeman asks "How could this be?" while all the other men drive off in their cars. The man replies "Tonight, sir, I'm the designated decoy."

How could the man not sign up for the job of moderating these forums?

The form he submitted was no longer valid.

Aww sorry to hear that DW. I was wondering if you'd been hit when the BBC announced it...

Still, now's the time for you to move on to his awesome purpleness' technical staff, just in time for Doll House to go down the tubes?

That's not a good thing, is it?

Fingers crossed you land on your feet DW.

Awww ey, I didn't know about any problems at ITV so I didn't catch the reference

You have my sympathies, but given how rubbish 99.9% of anything ITV makes is, I'd say you are lucky to be out of there. Get yourself to somewhere good and make good TV.....or better still, write it yourself, you're easily one of the funniest people on these boards


We built this city on Rock and Roll!

Maybe we should take this to PM, as don't want to choke the boards with my floods of hideously dramatic tears AND SHEER UNBRIDLED VITRIOL. Any case, thanks again guys. I'm not, in all honesty, all that sorry: the project was being blocked for internal political reasons rather than anything to do with cashflow, I'm proud of everything I did, and I'm pretty sick of working for somewhere with that much infighting and lack of vision.

(@BlueRabbit: a P45 is the record of service form UK employers have to give you when they kick you out the door. Equivalent to US "pink slip" - which they just tuck in your paypacket.... nice).

Anyway, here's some Architect jokes...

How To Refresh The Architecture Of Milton Keynes

ART DECO: You have two cows. You paint one silver, and make the other stand up on its hind legs.

INTERNATIONAL STYLE: You have two cows. You put them both in identical boxes.

BRUTALISM: You have two cows. You skin one and bury the other in concrete.

LATE MODERNISM: You have two cows. You slice one in half and encase it in glass. The other you disembowel and glue its innards on its outside.

POSTMODERNISM: You have two cows. You paint one green and purple and give it a hat, and you dress the other one in mismatched clothes.


Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

P45 is the form you get when you leave employment that show how much you have earned and been taxed on.
