Iceland Volcan insurance

Only a matter of time!

I like this response to the joke about Liverpool’s Trophy cabinet!

A big dust cloud floating across Britain is currently causing air traffic chaos across Europe. Police are currently questioning the cleaner who opened Liverpool’s Trophy Cabinet.

Response:

You will find that Liverpool are the most successful team in terms of trophys out of all the teams that are in the premiership.

At the last count of the top of my head it was 61 pieces of silverware.

I guess it must be a bad joke!!!

This is way too cute – tell it to sneeze and see what he does.

I have no idea how they do this: TYPE IN a command and see what happens…like  sit, roll over, down, stand, sing, dance, shake, fetch, play dead, etc. and… it’s also very cute if you type in a command that’s not recognized…!! Make sure you type in ‘Kiss’ too, but do it last.

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night to meet and have a dinner with her parents.

Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and make love for the first time.

The boy is ecstatic but he has never had sex before so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. He tells the pharmacist it’s his first time and the pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex. At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he’d like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.

That night, the boy shows up at the girl’s parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. ‘Oh, I’m so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!’ The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl’s parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes and the boy is still deep in prayer with his head down.

10 minutes pass and still no movement from the boy.

Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, ‘I had no idea you were this religious.’ The boy turns, and whispers back, ‘I had no idea your father was a pharmacist.’

Less than 2 months away. Should be great!

Iceland, like Hawaii, was formed by volcanoes, and although some parts of the island have hardly changed since the first Vikings settlers saw them more than 1100 years ago other parts of it are still taking shape as a result of volcanic eruptions.

I nearly blew my top when i heard about the Icelandic Volcano. Most of the ash cloud talk was going over my head. I especially had trouble trying to pronounce Pronounce  EyJ -Eyjaf -Eyjafjall oh forget it!   Eyjafjallajökull
Not only is the ash disrupting air traffic, it is casing many ashen faces around Europe.
I so tired of the old Geysir jokes about Ashland!
The whole situation is so lavable!
Iceland has taken a lot of criticism. However, when the dust settles we’ll realize that it wasn’t Iceland’s fault.
Most of the jokes have not made me erupt with laughter!
Iceland Volcano
I nearly blew my top when I heard about the Icelandic Volcano. The news exploded around the world and across the  internet! I thought it was a huge Volcano and the news left me trembling and quaking in my shoes. There were a lot of people spewing false information, and many were just full of hot air.  That funny dude on YouTube, who shouted, “I hate Iceland!”, was just blowing off steam. Most of the ash cloud talk was going over my head. I especially had trouble trying to pronounce  EyJ -Eyjaf -Eyjafjall – oh forget it!   Eyjafjallajökull

Not only is the volcanic dust cloud disrupting air traffic, it is causing many ashen faces around Europe. I’m so tired of the old Geysir jokes about Ashland! The whole situation is so lavable but most of the jokes have not made me erupt with laughter!
Iceland has taken a lot of criticism. However, let’s clear the air. When the dust settles, we will understand that it wasn’t Iceland’s fault.
Now that Iceland is in the news so much, I wonder if it will become a tourist hotspot!
I just feel plume lucky that I live in Canada!
