A Programmer and an Engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from London to New York. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The Programmer persists and explains that the game is real easy and a lotta fun. He explains "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me £5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you £5."
Again, the Engineer politely declines and tries to get to sleep. The Programmer, now somewhat exasperated, says, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me £5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you £50!"
This catches the Engineer's attention, and he sees no end to this torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the game. The Programmer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"
The Engineer doesn't say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five pound note and hands it to the Programmer. Now, it's the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?"
The Programmer looks over at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. He taps into the Airphone with his modem and searches the net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends an email to his co-workers -- all to no avail. After about an hour, he wakes the Engineer and hands him £50. The Engineer politely takes the £50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep.
The Programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the Engineer and asks "Well, so what's the answer?"
Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the Programmer £5, and turns away to get back to sleep.

So he could have the access to the internet, and stuff. Make's it more beleivable if he is a computer guy than if he is a single mum with a quiff.

Here's one:
A man walks into a public toilet where he finds two cubicles. One is already occupied so he enters the other one, closes the door and sits down. A voice then comes from the cubicle next to him: "G'day, mate, how are you going?"
Thinking this a bit strange but not wanting to be rude, the guy replies: "Yeh, not too bad, thanks."
After a short pause, he hears the voice again: "So, what are you up to, mate?"
Again answering reluctantly but unsure what to say, he replies: "Um, I'm just having a quick poo. How about yourself?"
He then hears the voice for the third time: "Sorry, mate, I'll have to call you back - I've got some idiot next to me answering all my questions."

Damn funny. Here's another:
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman are in a cafe. The waitress takes their orders.
The Englishman requested a pie and a coffee and the Scotsman ordered a slice of cake and a tea. The Irishman then said to the waitress "I'll have a quickie, please". The waitress 5then kicked him in the balls.
The Englishman then added "It's pronounced QUICHE".
