A farmer had a talking sheep dog.

He said to the dog 'see the valley down there ?'

In a gruff voice, the dog barked 'yus'

'Well', the farmer replied, 'it's full of sheep. Go down there and round them up'

'OK' came the barked response.

After about an hour, the farmer returned, to find his meadow full of sheep and his dog lying down calmly.

'Well done ' the farmer praised his dog. 'How many are there ?'

'Forty' the dog gruffed back.

'Forty ?' Asked the farmer, 'There were only 38 this morning '

The dog replied 'well, you asked me to round them up'

I've just got back from Tesco, where i swapped 50 currants for 100 sultanas.

I can't believe the current exchange rate.

Visited the local seafood restaurant last night.

I ordered the octopus.

The waiter said 'certainly sir, but it will be 4 hours'.

Shocked, I asked why it would take so long.

'well' he said, 'we cook the octopus live, and they keep reaching out and turning the gas off'.

I'm not saying that I m unlucky,

But, last time that I went to a funeral,

I caught the wreath.

What is the oldest profession ?

And no Pete, it's not what you are going to suggest.

It's a Disc Jockey !!

They've been around since records began.

I'VE BEEN BANNED FROM TESCO'S

Yesterday I was at my local Tesco's store buying a large bag of dog food for my loyal pet and was in the checkout queue when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had an elephant? So, since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Dog Diet again.
I added that I probably shouldn’t, because I ended up in hospital last time, but I'd lost 10 kilograms before I woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with My Dog nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry.

The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in queue was now enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off the kerb to sniff an Irish Setter's arse and a car hit me.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. I'm now banned from Tesco's

Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of daft things to say.
