A Texan was taking a taxi tour of London, and was in a hurry.
As they went by the Tower of London the cabbie explained what it was and
that construction started in 1346 and it was completed in 1412, the Texan
replied, Shoot, a little ol tower like that? In Houston wed have that
thing up in two weeks!
House of Parliament next – Started construction in 1544, completed 1618
Hell boy, we put up a bigger one than that in Dallas and it only took a
year!
As they passed Westminister Abbey the cabby was silent. Whoah! Whats
that over there? Damned if I know, wasnt there yesterday…

The young man working in the produce department of a large grocery store was approached by a customer who said he wanted to buy half a head of lettuce. The young man was taken aback somewhat and indicated he would have to check with the store manager.
So the produce clerk went to the store managers office for instruction. He stood in the doorway of the office and said, Theres some dumbhead out here who wants to buy just half a head of lettuce.
Then, noticing that the customer had come up behind him, he added, And this gentleman wants to buy the other half.
The manager said, Sell it.
Later, the manager sought out this young man and complimented him on his quick wit and intelligence in the way he had side-stepped a potentially sticky situation. You are just the kind of man we want in management. In fact, I want you to take over our biggest store in Montreal.
The clerk responded, Montreal!! The only people who come from there are hookers and hockey players! Why would I want to go to Montreal?!
When the manager said icily, My wife happens to be from Montreal!
The clerk came right back with, Really? What position does she play?

I was driving my four year old son home from day care
when seemingly out of the blue, he asked Daddy, is my voice
going to change one day?
Yes, it is I replied.
Why? he immediately wanted to know.
As I was pondering exactly how much of the tale I needed to
tell him at his tender age, he very excitedly popped out:
Well, when my voice changes, Im going to speak Spanish!

Q: How many members of the royal family does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Actually none. As your queen I would like to reassure the people of the commonwealth that while our family may have had our Annus Horribilis and while some of us may have screwed in the stables or in the mud, none of us, to my knowledge, have actually screwed in a lightbulb.
