KAREL'S CHEESE HOUSE


1. magic lamp
Man goes into pub. Under his arm is a large box, which he places on the bar and opens. Inside is a tiny little man playing a piano. He plays beautifully, pop music, classics and jazz. Everyone in the pub falls silent and gathers round to watch this astonishing phenomenon.

- "Where did you find him?" asks the publican.

- "Well, I was beachcombing the other day when I came upon a rusty old fashioned lamp. I rubbed at it to try to clear off some of the barnacles and weed, and a genie leapt out and offered me any wish I cared to name".

- "I'd love to have a go at that" says the publican, "can you give me directions so that I can find the rusty lamp?"

- "Sure".

A week later, the man with the box under his arm returns to the pub, pushes open the door and is astonished when he sees the change the pub has undergone in the space of one short week. Everywhere he looks, there are thousands of ducks - some in china, some papier mache, some wood some metal, in all kinds of colours, shapes and designs.

- "Well, the pub looks fantastic" he says to the publican, "but tell me, did you go down to the beach and find that rusty lamp."

- "I certainly did" replies the publican, "Your directions were very clear. I found the lamp, rubbed it, and - just as you described, out leapt the genie. One thing, though - I think he's a little hard of hearing, because I didn't ask him for masses of fantastic ducks"

- "I know what you mean. I didn't ask him for a 12-inch pianist either".


2. The story of the patient
A medical student specializing in sexual disorders, makes arrangements to visit a sexual disorder clinic. The chief doctor is showing him around, discussing the cases and the facilities, when the student sees a patient masterbating right there in the hallway.

"What condition does he have?" asks the student.

"He suffers from Seminal Buildup Disorder," the doctor replies. "If he doen't obtain sexual release forty to fifty times a day, he'll go into a coma."

The student takes some notes on that and they continue down the hall. As they turn the corner, he sees another patient with his pants around his ankles, receiving oral sex from a beautiful nurse.

"What about him?" the student asks. "What's his story?"

"Oh, it's the same condition," the doctor replies. "He just has a better health plan."


3. Uh oh
One day, a guy dies and finds himself in hell. As he is wallowing in despair, he has his first meeting with a demon:

Demon: Why so glum, chum?

Guy: What do you think? I'm in hell.

Demon: Hell's not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here. You a drinkin' man?

Guy: Sure, I love to drink.

Demon: Well, you're gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays, that's all we do is drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, diet Tab... we drink till we throw up and then we drink some more.

Guy: Gee, that sounds great.

Demon: You a smoker?

Guy: You better believe it.

Demon: Alright! You're gonna love Tuesdays. We get the finest cigars from around the world and smoke our fxxxin' lungs out. If you get cancer, it's okay... you're already dead.

Guy: Golly!

Demon: I bet you like to gamble.

Guy: Yes, as a matter of fact I do.

Demon: Good, because Wednesday is gambling day. Craps, blackjack, horse races, you name it. We even opened up a pai gow poker table.

Guy: Gosh, I never played pai gow before...

Demon: Well now you can. You like to do drugs?

Guy: Yes, I love to do drugs. You don't mean...

Demon: That's right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine. You can do all the drugs you want, and if you overdose, it's okay... you're already dead.

Guy: Neat! I never realized that hell was such a swingin' place!

Demon: You gay?

Guy: Uh, no.

Demon: Oooh (grimaces), you're gonna hate Fridays.


4. Accidental Accident Reports
The following quotes taken from the Toronto News on July 26, 1977, are actual statements from insurance forms where car drivers tried to summarize accident details in as few words as possible. Such instances of faulty writing serve to confirm that incompetency can be highly entertaining.
1. Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.

2. The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intent.

3. I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.

4. In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.

5. I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection, a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car.

6. I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.

7. I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.

8. My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle.

9. As I approached the intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no sign had ever appeared before, making me unable to avoid the accident.

10. I told the police I was not injured, but upon removing my hair, I found that I had a fractured skull.

11. I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.

12. I saw a slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the hood of my car.

13. The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.

14. I was thrown from my car as it left the road, and was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.

15. A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.

16. I thought my window was down, but I found out it was up when I put my head through it.

17. To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian.

18. The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.

19. The pedestrian had no idea which way to run, so I ran over him.

20. An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.

21. A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face.

22. I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment.


5. The playing pig
A bloke walked into a bar with a pig and asked for two pints, one for himself and one for the pig. The landlord said 'Sorry sir, we don't serve pigs. You'll have to leave him outside.' The man replied 'Ah, but this is no ordinary pig. This pig can play the piano.' The landlord, disbelieving, said 'Yeah? Get him up there, let's hear him play.'~

So the pig walked up to the piano, pulled out the stool, cracked his trotters and started to play beautifully. The landlord was amazed and immediately offered to buy the pig. But the owner said 'Sorry, that pig is a close personal friend of mine and I can't possibly sell him.'~

Anyway, the pig became a regular and started pulling the crowds into the pub. The landlord became rich, and was eventually able to offer 1/2 million pounds for the pig. Eventually, the sale was agreed.~

Two years later, the same bloke came back with a dog. Gone was the old pub, it had been replaced by a huge nightclub called 'The Playing Pig,' with the pig on stage in the centre. So the guy walked in and ordered two pints, one for himself and one for the dog. The landlord was about to refuse when he recognised the guy. 'So,' he said, 'What's special about the dog?'~

'Well, this dog can sing.'~

'He can sing! Well get him up on stage with the pig, lets hear him!'~

So the dog went up on stage and started singing along to the pig's piano playing. This was repeated every night for a couple of months, every night the landlord offering to buy the dog and getting the same reply: 'Sorry, the dog's a close personal friend of mine and he's not for sale.'~

One night, the landlord said 'Look, I've got to have that dog. Here's a million pounds, the keys to my private yacht and the deeds to a villa in Spain. Take them, in exchange for the dog.' So the deal was struck.~

Six months later, the same guy's back again. The landlord's obviously pleased to see him. 'So, what have you got for me this time?' The man deposited a set of keys and the deeds to the villa on the bar and handed over a cheque for 1 million pounds. 'Look,' he said, 'I have a confession to make. I've been living with the guilt for six months. I can't keep your money, or your yacht, or your villa.'~

'What's the matter?' asked the landlord. 'What's the confession?'~

The man looked at the landlord and said:~
'The dog can't sing, the pig's a ventriloquist.'~


6. forgetful
At a commuter train station a policeman noticed a woman driver bowed over the steering wheel of her car.
"Is there anything wrong?" said the policeman.
Half crying and half laughing the woman responded, "For ten years I have driven my husband to the station to catch his train. This morning I forgot him!"
7. Lesson
Sunday school teacher Ms. Brown had a class of five-year-olds.
She began the lesson by saying, "Today we are going to study about Peter. Can anybody tell me who Peter was?"
A little lad in the back of the group raised his hand.
"Oh, how nice," Ms. Brown said. "Billy knows. Billy, please come up front and tell the class who Peter was."
Billy quickly came to the front and said with great pride in his voice, "I fink he was a wabbit."
8. The horse
There was a guy who was driving in a country lane and breaks down. He is staring at the engine blankly wondering what the problem can be when this horse walks up to the car and says, whats the problem mate? The bloke thinks shit a talking horse, but says um I don't know what do you think it is? The horse replies it's your fan belt change it and you'll be ok. The bloke <luckily> has a spair fan belt in the car and proceeds to fit it. Anyway he drives off and needs a drink to get over his shock and pulls over at a local Pub. He walks in and says to the Landlord I broke down a couple of miles back and a talking horse, in a field by the road told me how to fix my car, the Landlord says" was it a white horse sir?" the bloke says yes thats right, then he says " Well you were lucky the black one knows fuck all about mechanics"??!!
9. seeing-eye dog
A man walks into a bar with his dog and the bartender tells him that no dogs are allowed. The man says, Gee, I'm blind and this is my seeing-eye dog. And the bartender apologizes and tells him to stay.

A few minutes later, another guy walks in with a chihuahua. The first guy leans over and whispers that he better get his dog out of the bar before he gets thrown out. And the second guy says, Yeh? Well how come they're letting you stay here with your dog? And the first gut tells him its because he said it was his seeing-eye dog. Just then the bartender comes over and asks the second guy to leave with his dog, whereupon the guy says, I'm blind, and this is my seeing-eye dog. And the bartender says, You've got a chihuahua for a seeing-eye dog!? And the man replied, They gave me a chihuahua?


10. The restaurant
A customer walked into a restaurant and saw a sign on the wall saying, "$500 if we fail to fill your order." When a waitress came to his table he ordered elephant ears on rye. She went into the kitchen and the angry restaurant owner soon came out and laid five $100 bills on the customer's table and said, "You got me that time, buddy, but that's the first time we've ever been out of rye bread!"
