chaff

An American visitor to Lindores Abbey was being shown round by the abbot when a monk shouted out 64!  All the other monks roared with laughter.

Another then called out 15! - again much laughter.

What's going on? asked the visitor.

They know each other's jokes inside out, said the abbot. So rather than tell them each time, they've numbered them. If one calls out a number, they think of the joke and laugh. Have a go...

The visitor called out 45! and there was a small ripple of polite laughter.

I'm afraid, said the abbot, that's not very funny. Try again.

So, the visitor called out 56! and there was uproar.

Must have been a good joke, he said.

Yes, said the abbot wiping his eyes. And we've never heard it before.

I had captioned that photo a couple months back. A great photo. Here is my original caption:

Yarbz Caption: Former President Clinton after returning from a speech at P.U.B.E.S. (Pretty Undergrad Breast Examination Society). Hillary, not trusting her Husband to "stick to the boobs, not the pubes" as she is known to say, regularly requires he submit to a smell test of his fingers when he returns from such meetings. On this occasion, Bill passed the sniff inspection. However, un-named sources are reporting that the former President was seen washing his hands with gasoline prior to retuning to the Hillary.
