That stiff Upper Lip
email from Asoka Dissanayake
After some time into the journey on a train from London to Manchester , an Australian man unable to bear the silence any longer, takes the unprovoked initiative of conversation by introducing himself to his fellow travellers, and soon starts berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment.
"You English are so stuffy. You set yourselves apart with your self-belief of superiority. You pronounce yourself above the rest of us with your stiff upper lip. Look at me...I'm Australian! I have Italian blood, Greek blood, a little Irish blood, even some Aborigine blood, ......and I'm proud of it. What do you say to that ?"
The Englishman replied, "Awfully sporting of your mother, old chap!"

and the upper lip remained very stiff..!!

A dentist, doing his first extraction on a patient, was
understandably nervous. When he got the molar out, his hand shook, he lost
his grip on the instrument, and the tooth dropped down into the patient's
throat.
Sorry, said the doctor. You're outside my specialty now.
You should see a laryngologist.
By the time the unfortunate victim got to the laryngologist, the tooth had worked it's way much further down. The laryngologist examined the man. Sorry, he said You're outside my specialty now. You should see a gastroenterologist. The gastroenterologist X-rayed the patient. Sorry, said the doctor, the tooth has traveled into your lower intestines. You should see an enterologist. The enterologist took some X rays. Sorry, the tooth isn't there. It must have gone down farther. You should see a proctologist. Our patient is now on the proctologist's examining table, in the proper elbow-knee position. The doctor has inserted a proctoscope and is looking through it. Good heavens, man ! You've got a tooth up there !
You should see a dentist

WOMEN WHO READ
email
from Kamalini Kanapathippillai
One
morning a husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a
nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat
out.
She
motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along
comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says,
" Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading
a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")
"You're
in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm
sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes,
but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.
I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"For
reading a book?" she replies.
"You're
in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her again.
"I'm
sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes,
but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.
I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If
you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,"says the woman.
"But
I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's
true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any
moment."
"Have
a nice day ma'am," and he left.
MORAL:
Never
argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.
Send
this to four women who are thinkers. If you receive this, you know you're
intelligent
Sure
God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the
final masterpiece.

Signhore by the Gypsies.
Signore –
Senhor in Portuguese meant
Mister, sir; gentleman, man; master,
lord
you, pronoun which replaces the name
of the person or persons being addressed.
In Sinhalese this word was used extensively to address a
respected person.
Later it was incorporated in surnames as Singho
Thus we have – Punchi Singho, Baby Singho, Davith Singho
etc.
The popular song by the Gypsies parodies on this word and
sings the lamentations of a politician, who lost at a Parliamentery Election.
