I was a bit depressed the other night, so I rang up the Samaritans. I got put though to Pakistan. Told them I was a bit suicidal, they got all excited and asked it I could fly a plane
 
Two for one!


A person walks past a pet shop. There are a number of cats for sale at £30 each and a cat further along for sale at £75, with a sign above it that reads "Amsterdam cat". It looks just like the others. It probably hasn't ever been anywhere near Amsterdam, or anywhere in Holland. It's just a con to cash in on a fashion.

The person is annoyed by this and goes into the shop to challenge the shopkeeper about the veracity of the claim about that cat:

"How Dutch is that moggy in the window?"


A Roman emperor is quite mad. One day, he is given a gift of a gold gong and orders that it be placed in a glade in the gardens of his palace. On a whim, he decrees that no-one is to carry it.

This poses a problem for the flunkey he orders to make sure that the gong is moved to the glade. Rolling or pushing the gong along the ground might well damage it, and who wants to damage the current favourite plaything of a mad emperor?

The flunkey thinks about the problem and devises a solution. Palace slaves are order to take off their shirts and lie down in a row from the palace to the glade. Oil is poured on them and the gong is pushed over the oiled slaves, thus satisfying the emperor's mad whim without risking damage to the gong.

Partway through the process, the emperor walks up to see what is going on. He pushes the gong from one slave to the next, giggles and sings...."I'm sliding a gong on the chest of a slave!"
