I'll start off ...
A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train.
After the initial embarrassment they both go to sleep, the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower.
In the middle of the night the woman leans over, wakes the man and says, "I''m sorry to bother you, but I''m awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly get me another blanket."
The man leans out and, with a glint in his eye, says, "I''ve got a better idea... just for tonight, let''s pretend we''re married."
The woman thinks for a moment. "Why not," she giggles.
"Great," he replies, "Get your own damn blanket!"

A recent scientific study found that women find different male faces attractive depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle.
For example, when a woman is ovulating she will prefer a man with rugged, masculine features.
However when she is menstruating, she prefers a man doused in petrol and set on fire, with scissors stuck in his eye and a cricket stump shoved up his backside.

Man is walking down the street, and he sees a woman with perfect boobs.
He goes up to her and asks if she will let him bite them for £10
She slaps him and says shes not that sort of girl.
He persists with an offer of £100
Again, she slaps him and says no
"Ok, how about you let me bite your boobs for £10,000?"
She thinks for a while, then agrees.
They go down an alley and she takes off her top and bra. The man proceeds to fondle/lick/play with/admire/lick some more. After ten minutes, the girl says to him in an exasparated tone:
"well, are you gonna bite them or what?"
To which the man replies:
"nah, too expensive"

Weird Breakdown Callouts
A motorist complaining of a strange noise coming from under his car was surprised to find the cause was a grumpy badger trapped between the exhaust and the car body.
An RAC member's pet snake escaped in transit and got caught under the car dashboard, resulting in the patrol having to dismantle the dashboard to release the reptile.
After leaving the handbrake off, an RAC member was horrified to discover his car had rolled down the drive, over a patio wall, through a set of french windows and into his living room.
A patrol called out to check a car's air intake pipe was baffled to find it was stuffed with nuts. The culprit turned out to be a squirrel that the car owner had often seen stealing from his bird table, although he never guessed where it had been storing its spoils.
An RAC patrol got more than he bargained for when called out to attend a motorbike breakdown and found that it was sitting four feet deep in the Thames at Richmond bridge. Miraculously, once the engine was dried out, the member was able to drive away on it.
A mystery electrical failure in an estate car was explained when the eleven year old who had been left in the back seat revealed he had removed every fuse in the fusebox and hidden them in his pockets.
The RAC saved the day at one wedding, as the bride and groom found they had locked their keys inside the car, along with their wedding rings.
Smoke coming from a motorist's dashboard turned out to be the fault of his four year old son, who had 'posted' £24 worth of coins from his Dad's coin holder into the cassette slot.
An RAC patrol was called out to rescue a mother after her toddler swallowed the car's immobiliser chip. The RAC patrol managed to get the car started again by holding the infant over the steering wheel.
When an RAC member got out of her car, leaving the keys on the seat, her dog jumped on them, locking the door. Just as the patrol was about to gain entry, the dog jumped off the keys, letting itself out of the car.

The Five Stages Of Drunkenness And Sobering Up
Drinking
Stage 1 - Clever: This is when you suddenly become an expert on every subject in the known universe. You know you know everything and you want to pass on your knowledge to anyone who will listen. At this stage you are always right. And, of course, the person you are talking to is very wrong. This takes for an interesting argument when both parties are CLEVER.
Stage 2 - Attractive: This is when you realise that you are the most ATTRACTIVE person in the entire bar and that everyone fancies you. You can go up to a perfect stranger knowing that they fancy you and really want to talk to you. Bear in mind that you are still CLEVER, so you can talk to this person about any subject under the sun.
Stage 3 - Rich: This is when you suddenly become the RICHEST person in the room. You can buy drinks for the entire bar because you have a bottomless wallet. You can also make bets at this stage, because of course you are still CLEVER so, naturally, you will always win. Anyway, it doesn't matter how much you bet because you are RICH. You will also buy drinks for everyone that you fancy, in the knowledge that you are clearly the most ATTRACTIVE person present.
Stage 4 - Invincible: You are now ready to pick fights with anyone and everyone, especially those with whom you have been betting or arguing. This is because you are now INVINCIBLE. At this point you can also go up to the partners of the people who you fancy and challenge them to a battle of wits or strength. You have no fear of losing this battle, because as well as being INVINCIBLE you are CLEVER, you're RICH and you're more ATTRACTIVE than them anyway.
Stage 5 - Invisible: This is the final stage of drunkenness. At this point you can do anything, because you are now INVISIBLE. You can dance on a table to impress the people who you fancy because the rest of the people in the room cannot see you. You can also snog the face off them for the same reason. You are also INVISIBLE to the people who want to fight you. You can walk through the street singing at the top of your lungs because no one can see or hear you and because you're still CLEVER you know all the words.
Sobering Up
Stage 1 - Stupid: As you regain consciousness and begin to enjoy the headache, the churning stomach and the cold sweats you realise that you have lost not only several hours of your life but also the ability to concentrate on anything whatsoever. You are now STUPID and will remain so for a minimum of 12 hours.
Stage 2 - Ugly: Never entirely happy with the effects of the bathroom mirror first thing you are horrified to discover that you have now become even UGLIER than you previously thought possible. Not only have you bloodshot eyes and a glorious collection of spots but you are shaking so much that your grandfather probably looks healthier.Unfortunately you are still too STUPID to know better than to try and shave whilst shaking.
Stage 3 - Poor: Having crawled out of bed and got dressed you are about to shamble out the door when you discover that the money that was to last you the week is now missing from your wallet. Being STUPID, you have no idea what happened to it but the traces of curry on your clothes allow the possibility that you might have treated everyone to a takeaway at some point. Alternatively your pocket could have been picked or you might have given the taxi driver a fifty by mistake. Rationalising that you couldn't possibly have been that STUPID and that you would remember being robbed, you come to believe that you were the only one who bought any food or drinks all night and start to loathe all your friends.
Stage 4 - Fragile: As you are now STUPID, UGLY and POOR, your consequently FRAGILE self-esteem plummets. Your already FRAGILE physical condition ensures that you feel liable to shatter if anyone even speaks to you.
Stage 5 - Conspicuous: This is the final stage of sobering up. Unfortunately, everyone can spot this CONSPICUOUS condition and its cause from a great distance. Even worse, they know that they can complete your misery by making fun of you, and that you are too STUPID to retaliate, too FRAGILE to hit them,too POOR to bribe them and too UGLY to hide.

This is just a simple one that happened in religion class. Its sort of funnier beause its true, and the religion teacher was really mad that day. We were doing the Muslim faith, and we were taking down "The five pillars", what a girl at the front put up her hand while the teacher was writing them up on the board, and said:
"Miss, how many are there?"
She got extra homework because the teacher was so mad. Funny stuff. I'll shut up now.....
