English Gentlemen

In 1912, Country Life wrote that ‘few words come to convey so beautiful a meaning as that of “Gentleman”.’

English gentleman never shows off. Any blatant self-promotion would immediately disqualify one from being a gentleman. In this respect becoming a gentleman is rather like the reverse of Groucho Marx’s quote: ‘I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member’.

However, down the years English gentlemen have exhibited surprising and amusing behaviour. I was astonished to read that Edwardian gentlemen circa 1905 had a penchant for tattoos, I was amused to discover that a partridge was their favorite motif. Apparently, these gentlemen had a shot of cocaine to ease the pain of the tattooist’s needle.

Moving forward two decades, I spotted this advice on crocodile shooting etiquette, ‘No compunction need be felt in shooting crocodiles, for where so common it is a constant worry to the natives’. As Algernon pointed out to me, no gentlemen would ever read books on etiquette, they just absorbed how to behave by osmosis from
the gentry who came to their stately homes.

Talking of hunting, Oscar Wilde summed up a country gentleman galloping after a fox as:- “The unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable”.

What caught me in Mark Hedges’ recent article published in the Times was this: ‘No gentlemen would ever wear pink socks’. An idea that I beseech the women in my life to extend to shirts and even cardigans.

Mark Hedges finishes with this wonderful anecdote, which distills the essence of an English gentleman. A member of a club in London posted a notice on the board demanding that the nobleman who stole his umbrella at once return it. When a fellow member asked how he knew that the culprit was a nobleman he replied: “Sir, the rules of this club state that it is for noblemen and gentlemen. And no gentleman would have taken my umbrella.”

Father’s Day and Fathers’ Day – No Joke!

Regarding the use of the apostrophe, our logic is that we remember one’s Father, thus Father’s Day. In British English, as opposed to American English, it’s also possible for a group of people to celebrate their Father’s Day. While this usage of the apostrophe is grammatically correct in England, it’s not in common usage.

Funny Grumpy Old Men Tales

Kids have bad attitudes, middle-aged men have a crisis, and old men have the grumps.

The Funny Ideas and Thoughts of Mr Grumpy

Grumpy old people ‘can’t help it’ Will and Guy Discover

Grumpy old men may not be able to help it, as age could affect their sense of humor, scientists have found.

A study by Washington University in St Louis, USA, found older people find it harder than students to understand jokes.

The authors inform Will and Guy that their findings should be taken seriously as laughing has been linked to health benefits such as boosting circulation.

The findings were published in the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society.

The researchers tested 40 people aged over 65, and 40 undergraduates. The participants had to complete jokes and cartoon strips, choosing the correct punch line or final picture from a selection of options.

When choosing the punch line for jokes, undergraduates performed 6% better than older people, and when completing cartoon strips they were 14% better.

Hilarious Examples of Grumpy Old Men In Action

A Funny, Hilarious, and Thought-Provoking Draft Letter to Mr David Cameron, Prime Minister, UK

Fixing the Economy

Dear Mr. Cameron,

Please find below our suggestion for fixing the UK’s economy.

Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic

Retirement Plan:

There are about 10 million people over 50 in the workforce. Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

They MUST retire – Ten million job openings – unemployment fixed
They MUST buy a new British car – Ten million cars ordered – Car Industry fixed
They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed
They MUST send their kids to school/college/university – Crime rate fixed
They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week ….. And there’s your money back in duty/tax.

Instead of playing around with the carbon emissions trading scheme that makes us pay for the major polluters, tell the greedy polluters to reduce their pollution emissions by 75% within 5 years or shut them down.

P.S. If more money is needed, have all Members of Parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances. If you think this would work, please forward it to everyone you know.

If not, please disregard it.

Mr Grumpy

How to Solve the Problem of Crowded Jails in the UK – An Idea from Mr Grumpy

Let us put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home. This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies, and walks.

They’d receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheelchairs, etc and they’d receive money instead of paying it out. They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.

Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them. A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell. They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.

They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counseling, pool, and education. Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, pajamas, and legal aid would be free, on request. Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens.

Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily ‘phone calls. There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.

….. And the criminals?

The criminals would get cold food, and be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8 pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay £600.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out.

Funny Grumpy Woman Story

What about grumpy old women? Is this topic a case of gender equality? Or is it a bit like mass murders, women are severely under-represented? This anecdote suggests that women deserve their own category, vindictive old women.

‘Cash, check, or charge?’ I asked, after folding the items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. ‘So, do you always carry your TV remote?’ I asked.

‘No,’ she replied, ‘but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.’

In actual life, I am a grumpy old bag. Dawn French (British actress/comedienne)

A. A. A. D. D. – Classic Grumpy Old Man Syndrome

Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. – Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests itself:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the rubbish bin under the table, and noticed that the bin was full.

So, I decided to put the bills back on the table and take out the rubbish first.

But then I think, since I’m going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my cheque (check) book off the table and see that there is only one cheque left. My extra cheques are on my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of coke that I had been drinking.

I’m going to look for my cheques, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don’t accidentally knock it over. I see that the coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye: they need to be watered.

I place the Coke down on the work surface, and I discover the reading glasses that I’ve been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I’m going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the worktop, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone has left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won’t remember that it’s on the kitchen table, so I decided to put it back in the lounge where it belongs, but first I’ll water the flowers.

I pour some water into the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

The car isn’t washed.
The bills aren’t paid.
There is a warm can of Coke sitting on the work surface.
The flowers don’t have enough water.
There is still only one cheque in my checkbook.
I can’t find the TV remote.
I can’t find my glasses and I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I tried to figure out why nothing got done that day, I was baffled because I knew I was busy all day long, and I was really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I’ll try to get some help with it, but first I’ll check my e-mail.

PS. I just remembered I left the water running………………………………..

Grumpy Old Men with Their Children

Two men were standing on a street corner, discussing the merits of their teenage sons. “Do you know,” remarked the first one, “My son is so thick. I don’t think they teach the kids anything useful at school these days.”

“Well,” replied the other gentleman, “He can’t be as bad as mine!”

The discussion continued at length when suddenly they spotted both of the boys coming towards them.

“Listen,” said the first man, “I’ll prove to you that my son is thicker than yours.” “Come here Algie!” The lad duly obeyed his father and asked why he had called him over. “Here’s 10p” replied the father, ” Go and buy your mother a new fridge from the electrical store!”

The second parent likewise called his son over. “Jasper,” he said ” here’s 50p. Go home on the bus and see if I’m there!” Both boys departed together and met up around the corner. Algie beckoned Jasper to him and whispered in his ear “My dad’s stupid Jasper,” he said, “he has given me 10p to buy my mum a new fridge from the electrical store, and it’s Wednesday – early closing day!”

“That’s nothing!” replied Jasper, “my old man’s worse than that. He gave me 50p to get on the bus and go home to see if he was there. He could have phoned up himself for 10p!”

Cantankerous Man in the Supermarket

Walter and his wife Masie are shopping in their local supermarket. The husband picks up a case of Budweiser beer and puts it in their shopping cart.

‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks Masie. ‘They’re on sale, only $20 for 24 cans Walter replies.

‘Put them back, we can’t afford them’ demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.

A few aisles further on along Masie picks up a $40 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.

‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks Walter. ‘It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,’ replies the wife.

Her husband retorts: ‘So does 24 cans of Bud and it’s half the price.’

Walter never knew what hit him.

The next thing he heard on the supermarket PA system was: ‘Clean up on aisle 7, we have a husband down.’

Story of a Poor Man in the Dog House

In January, Zdzislaw Bukarowcz, a seventy-five-year-old Polish man from Scinawa, lived in a dog’s kennel for three weeks. It was all the work of his zona*, Mrs Bukarowcz, her reason for dishing out this punishment was because Zdzislaw repeatedly came home drunk.

She chained him to the kennel and fed him dog food; Zdzislaw was given water from a dog bowl. At night the temperatures often dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Pani Bukarowcz told reporters that she was sick of him wasting all their money on vodka. His drinking companions, worried by his non-attendance in the pub, eventually freed him from his imprisonment and called the police.

* Zona is Polish for wife. Pani means Mrs in Polish.

Funny stories son-father letters

A Son’s Letter to His Father

Dear Dad

It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter.

I decided to elope with my new girlfriend Tamara. We wanted to avoid a scene with you and Mum.

I’ve found real passion with Tamara and she is so lovely – even with her nose piercing, tattoos, and her tight motorcycle clothes. But it’s not only the joy Dad, she’s pregnant and Tamara said that we will be very happy.

Even though you won’t care for her as she is so much older than me, she already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. She wants to have many more children with me and that’s now one of my dreams too.

Tamara taught me that marijuana doesn’t hurt anyone, and we’ll be growing it for us and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we’ll pray that science will find a cure for HIV so that Tamara can get better; she sure deserves it!

Don’t worry Dad, I’m 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I’m sure we’ll be back to visit, so you can get to know your grandchildren

Your ever-loving son,

Eddie.

PS: Don’t worry Dad, none of the above is true. I’m over at the next door’s house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my end-of-year school report which is in the center drawer of my desk. I love you!

Call when it is safe for me to come home.

Strange But True Story – Husband Attends Birth

Michael Attends Birth

The modern trend is for fathers to attend the birth of their children. One busy hospital in central England has a special room for expectant fathers. Whilst the average gestation period for human babies is 9 months, there is almost as much variation in the time babies stay in the womb as there is in the weight of the newborn. Consequently, the father’s room can get quite crowded with a mixture of fathers attending premature births, and those whose babies stubbornly refuse to enter this world on time.

The scene is set. In the father’s room are 8 expectant fathers, my friend is called Michael, he sees one or two fathers called in, but he has to wait. When eventually Michael is called in to see his wife Janet, she is distressed. What had upset Janet was not the labor but the fact that 10 minutes previously, the Doctor called in the wrong Michael. That Michael was not her husband.

Can you imagine their mutual horror? There is Janet in the birthing position, being confronted by a man who is not her husband. If anything it was even more traumatic for the ‘wrong Michael’. The encounter affected him so badly that he fainted and had to be taken on a trolley to the accident and emergency department. Sadly, as a result, he missed the birth of his own baby.

When the dust had settled, Janet and the baby were fine. The ‘right Michael’ was thrilled to be the proud father. However, he later confided in me, ‘Guy, at work, now they have something else to snigger about, I am fed up with them teasing me about my name’. Mike Stand.

Off the record, one of the nurses said that the ‘Wrong Michael’ had been a great help in distracting Janet and that they were considering employing a ‘Wrong Michael’ to induce reluctant babies.

Shaun Writes Home

When I was at college a good friend, named Shaun, was notorious for not contacting home from one week to another. All his time was taken up with studying, drinking, and sleeping. Then one day he received the following letter:

Joke Husband?

Husband Down

Eddie and his wife June are shopping in their local supermarket. The husband picks up a case of Heineken and puts it in their cart.

‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks June. ‘They’re on sale, only $15 for 24 cans Eddie replies. ‘Put them back, we can’t afford them’ demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.

A few aisles further on June picks up a $30 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.

‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks Eddie. ‘It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,’ replies the wife.

Her husband retorts: ‘So does 24 cans of Heineken and it’s half the price.’

Eddie never knew what hit him.

The next thing he heard on the supermarket PA system was: ‘Cleanup on aisle 19, we have a husband down.’

Taxi Driver Jokes

Passenger: ‘There are always a few clouds over everybody.’

Cabbie: ‘Not Archie. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand Slam in tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano.’

Passenger: ‘Then how do you know so much about him?’

Funny Taxi Joke

An American tourist hailed a taxi in Mayfair, London, and asked the cabbie to be taken to Buckingham Palace.

On the way, a car zoomed by, and the tourist responded, ‘Oh! Cadillac – Made in the USA! Very fast!’

Not too long afterward, another car flew by the taxi. ‘Ah! Chevrolet – Made in the US of A! Very fast!’ Yet another car zipped by, and the tourist said, ‘Buick – Made in the USA! Lightning quick!’

The taxi driver, who was 100% London Cockney, was starting to get a little annoyed that the American-made cars were passing him, when what should happen yet another car passed the taxi as they were turning into Birdcage Walk. ‘Oh!
Lexus – Made in the USA! Very rapid!’

The taxi driver stopped the car outside Buckingham Palace pointing to the meter, and said, ‘That’ll be £100.’ ‘£100? It was so short a ride! Why so much?’

The Taxi driver smiled as he replied, ‘Meter – Made in England. Very fast.’

Give the Girl a ‘Joe Baxi’

We can report that a young Londoner needed a taxi [cab] to take her from her London home to Bristol Airport to catch her flight to go on holiday; a distance of over 100 miles.

We have been informed that she phoned Directory Enquiries to get the number of a taxi company. However, speaking in slang she confused the operator totally by asking for ‘a Joe Baxi.’ [cockney rhyming slang for taxi].

Having considerable difficulty understanding the teenager, the operator told her that she could find no one of that name and received the reply, ‘It ain’t a person, it’s a cab, innit.’

The operator, happier now, and thinking that she fully understood what was wanted, found her the number of her nearest cabinet shop which was in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire, and named ‘Displaysense Ltd.,’ and put the girl through to a sales rep. The 19-year-old spoke to the bemused saleswoman and seemingly getting nowhere eventually demanded, ‘Look, love, how hard is it? All I want is your cheapest cab, innit. I need it for 10 am. How much is it?’

The sales adviser said it would be £180 [$356] and the girl gave her address and paid with a credit card. The next morning, an office cabinet was delivered to her South London home.

We have learned that the young lady went ballistic when the cabinet and not the cab arrived. Eventually, everything was sorted out and Marketing manager of ‘Displaysense’, Steve Whittle said, ‘We thought it was a joke at first but the girl was livid. We have suggested that maybe she should speak a bit clearer on the phone and we have refunded her money.’

Indian Taxi Driver Joke

A drunken lady leaped into a taxi stark naked. Sachin, the Indian taxi driver did not attempt to drive off.

“What’s wrong with you Luv, haven’t you ever seen a naked woman before?”

“I’ll not be staring at you lady, I am telling you, that would not be proper, where I am coming from…”

“Well, if you’re not bloody staring at me Luvie, what are you doing then?”

“Well, I am looking and looking, and I am thinking and thinking to myself, where is this lady keeping the money to be paying me?!”

Taxi to the Hospital

A woman flagged down a cab.

“Where to?” the cabbie asked. “The hospital,” the woman answered.

“Where at the hospital?” the cabbie asked. “Maternity ward.” the woman answered.

A determined look crossed the cabbie’s face. “Okay, I’ll get you there. Don’t you worry!” He then floored it and started weaving past cars.

“No no, you don’t need to drive so fast,” the woman said. “I only work there!”

New Taxi Driver

Bertie Evan hailed a taxi outside Paddington station in London. The cabbie had only gone a couple of hundred yards when Bertie leaned forward and tapped him gently on the shoulder. The driver screamed, mounted the pavement, almost hitting a cyclist, then an old lady, but managed to swerve back onto the road, only to over-correct and glance off a coach into the ‘Historical London Souvenirs’ shop window. Incredibly, no one was hurt.

Both the men got out of the taxi and Bertie asked the cabbie “What on earth was that all about?” I only wanted you to stop so I could buy souvenirs!”

“I’m sorry,” said the taxi driver, “but this is my first day driving a cab; for the last twenty-five years I was driving a hearse!”

Welsh Husbands

Here are three of the better ‘Men Jokes’. In many ways, these men’s jokes are the mirror image of the blonde jokes. Stereotyping, yes, fun, indeed; do they offend me as a man, definitely not.

1. New Cot

One Monday evening Jessica found her husband Mike with his head cocked looking at their baby’s cot. Silently she watched him. As Mike twisted and turned looking at at their infant, Jessica could see on Mike’s face a mixture of
emotions: disbelief, doubt, joy, surprise, enchantment, and skepticism.

Mike did not usually show his emotions and his unusual display brought tears to her eyes. Jessica put her arm around her husband and asked. ‘A penny for your thoughts.’

‘It’s amazing!’ Mike replied. ‘I just can’t work out how Kiddicare can make a cot like that for only $49.99.’

2. Welsh Husbands

A Welsh lad came home from school and told his mother he had been given a part in the school play.

‘Wonderful, ‘replies his mother, ‘what part is it?’

The boy says, ‘I play the part of the Welsh husband.’

The mother scowls and says, ‘Go back and tell your teacher you want a speaking part.’

Footnote As a Welsh husband myself, I can vouch for the truth of the above scenario.

3. Simple Really – [Based on a true story]

During the Gulf War, Barney Arkwright was assigned to go to Saudi Arabia. As he was saying goodbye to his family, his three-year-old son, Simon, was holding onto Barney’s leg and pleading with him not to leave. ‘No, Daddy, please don’t go!’ Simon kept repeating.

They were beginning to make a scene when Hazel, Barney’s wife, desperate to calm her son, said, ‘Let Daddy go and I’ll take you to get a pizza, Simon.’

Immediately, Simon loosened his tight grip, stepped back, and in a calm voice said, ‘Bye, Daddy.’
