your belly button will unscrew - and your bum will fall off.
Really... It's true. I read it on the Internet.

My wife and I went to the Wisconsin Agricultural State Fair and one of the first exhibits we stopped at was the breeding bulls. We went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said,
' THIS BULL MATED 50 TIMES LAST YEAR '
My wife playfully nudged me in the ribs .....Smiled and said, 'He mated 50 times last year, that's almost once a week.'
We walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said,
''THIS BULL MATED 150 TIMES LAST YEAR'
My wife gave me a healthy jab and said, 'WOW~~That's more than twice! a week ! ..........You could learn a lot from him.'
We walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said,
in capital letters,
'THIS BULL MATED 365 TIMES LAST YEAR'
My wife was so excited that her elbow nearly broke my ribs, and said,
'That's once a day ..You could REALLY learn something from this one.'
I looked at her and said,
'Go over and ask him if it was with the same cow.'
My condition has been upgraded from critical
to stable and I should eventually make a full recovery.

Important health and safety notice
All employees planning to dash through the snow in a one horse open sleigh, going over the fields and laughing all the way are advised that a Risk Assessment will be required addressing the safety of an open sleigh for members of the public. This assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly where there are multiple passengers. Please note that permission must also be obtained in writing from landowners before their fields may be entered. To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we would request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.
Benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available for collection by any shepherds planning or required to watch their flocks at night. While provision has also been made for remote monitoring of flocks by CCTV cameras from a centrally heated shepherd observation hut, all users of this facility are reminded that an emergency response plan must be submitted to account for known risks to the flocks.
The angel of the Lord is additionally reminded that, prior to shining his/her glory all around, s/he must confirm that all shepherds are wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to account for the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory.
Following last years well-publicised case, everyone is advised that Equal Opportunities legislation prohibits any comment with regard to the redness of any part of Mr R Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr R Reindeer from reindeer games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offence.
While it is acknowledged that gift bearing is a common practice in various parts of the world, particularly the Orient, everyone is reminded that the bearing of gifts is subject to Hospitality Guidelines and all gifts must be registered. This applies regardless of the individual, even royal personages. It is particularly noted that direct gifts of currency or gold are specifically precluded, while caution is advised regarding other common gifts such as aromatic resins that may evoke allergic reactions.
Finally, in the recent instance of the infant found tucked up in a manger without a crib for a bed, Social Services have been advised and will be arriving shortly.

This year Santa had a visit from the Civil Aviation Authority, to check out the airworthiness of the sleigh and reindeer. It did not go well...
The official checked out the sleigh and boarded it for a test flight, Santa piloting. Suddenly he pulled out a 9mm automatic pistol.
"What the hell are you doing?" says Santa.
"I want to see how you handle this craft with one engine out!"

A Christmas Tree Tradition
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
So, frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.
When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor.
In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.
He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?"
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

I got the missus a belt and bag for Christmas
Hope they fit the vacuum cleaner
My wife said she would like something smelly for Christmas.
Hope she likes the Gorgonzola......
She said she would like something sparkly for Christmas.
I think she'll enjoy the Perrier.
"Can you get some bleach and some washing powder whilst you're out?" my wife asked.
"Can you not wait until you've opened your Christmas presents?" I replied.
"Christmas always reminds me of the time of year when my best mate ran off with my missus."
"Oh yeah, sorry mate, it must bring back bad memories."
"Yeah - (sob) - I really miss him."
The wife has been hinting that she wants something black and lacy for Christmas.
I got her a pair of football boots.
I'm not in the mood for humour right now. I went out today and when I got home all the doors were smashed in and everything was gone.
That's the last time I leave my advent calendar in the same room as my dog.
Rudolf has a red nose so he can guide the way but why does Dasher have a brown nose?
Because he doesn't stop as fast as Rudolf!
Got the wife a new wooden leg for crimbo.
Don't worry it's just a stocking filler.

Two Aussies were out hunting in the outback and came upon a huge hole in the ground.
They approached it and were amazed at its size.
The first said, "Wow mate, that's some hole. I can't even see the bottom. I wonder how deep it is."
The second said, "There's an old gearbox over there. Let's throw it in and see how long it takes to hit bottom."
So, they picked up the heavy gear box, carried it over to the hole, counted one-two-three and heaved it in.
As they were standing there, looking over the edge of the hole, a goat came crashing through the underbrush, ran up to the hole and, without hesitation, jumped in head first.
While they were standing there staring at each other in amazement, they peered into the hole, trying to figure out what that was all about.
Just then an old farmer sauntered up. "G'day, you blokes didn't happen to see my goat?"
The first hunter said, "Funny you should ask. We were just standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes doing about a 160 kph and jumped head first into this hole!"
The old farmer said, "Nah, that's impossible! I had him chained to a gearbox."

I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon - I'll let you know.
A bloke with one arm went in the Barbers
he said 'A shave please'
The barber cut his ear, his chin and both sides of his face
Barber asked 'Have you been in here before?'
The chap replied 'No, I lost my arm in the first world war'

Arthur is 85 years old.
He's played golf every day since his retirement 20 years ago.
One day he arrives home looking downcast.
"That's it" he tells his wife "I'm giving up golf. My eyesight has got so
bad. Once I've hit the ball, I can't see where it went"
His wife sympathizes.. As they sit down, she has a suggestion: "Why don't
you take my brother with you, and give it one more try"
"That's no good" sighs Arthur "Your brother is ninety two. He can't help"
"He may be ninety two" says the wife "but his eyesight is perfect"
So the next day, Arthur heads off to the golf course with his brother-in-law.
He tees up, takes an almighty swing, and squints down the fairway.
He turns to the brother-in-law "Did you see the ball ?"
"Of course I did !", says the brother-in-law "I have perfect eyesight"
"Where did it go ?" asks Arthur.
"Can't remember"
