Fancy a nice bargain on a Faberge egg?

Not a bad little saving there, think I’ll buy ten :)

Even better is the customer review for it:

Looks fantastic, but not so tasty, May 31, 2007
By Benjamin Hallert (Springfield, OR)
While the wrapper is artfully done, I was disappointed with the filling. I don’t know if the one I got was a factory defect or not, but once I had removed the elaborate wrapper, I found it was empty, without even the smell of chocolate. After this, I’ll stick with Cadbury eggs, but my experience may not be representative of the normal presentation. I’ve given the product 4 stars because of the wrapper, though, while difficult to tear off, it was certainly stunning.

Police have released a photo of the main suspect of the Cutty Sark arson.

Anyone who has an idea of who and where this individual is, please call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 555.

Wanda’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to
go to work the next day, she told the repairman, “I’ll leave the key under
the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you a cheque.”

“Oh, by the way don’t worry about my bulldog Spike. He won’t bother you. But,
whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!” “I
REPEAT, DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!”

When the repairman arrived at Wanda’s apartment the following day, he
discovered the biggest, meanest looking bulldog he has ever seen. But, just
as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman
go about his work.

The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant
yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain
himself any longer and yelled,

“Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!”

To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”

Here’s a good reason to never piss off a JCB driver:

A man is walking in the park one sunny afternoon and comes across a little girl who is playing.

“Hello little girl and what is your name?”

“My name is ‘Petal'”.

“What a lovely name little girl. How did you come to get a name like Petal?”

“When I was a baby my mum put me in the garden in my pram and a gust of wind blew a rose petal onto my forehead. This is how I came to be called Petal”.

The man thanked the little girl for her story and walked off.

Not long after the man came across another little girl who was playing in the park.

“Hello little girl and what is your name?”

“My name is ‘Rosebud'”.

“What a lovely name little girl. How did you come to get a name like Rosebud?”

“When I was a baby my mum put me in the garden in my pram and a gust of wind blew a rose bud onto my forehead. This is how I came to be called Rosebud”.

The man thanked the little girl for her story and walked off.

The same man then came across a little boy in a wheel chair.

“Hello little boy and what is your name?”

“Breeze block”…………………………..

Wow – in another industry-first for Google, they’ve just announced the release of their new ISP service, working on the basis of fibre laid through the sewer line systems.

Looks pretty simple to install too.  Unfortunately, the list of water companies which support TiSP leads to a 404 page, looks like they didn’t get round to doing that part yet.

Nice one Google!  :)
