A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgery.

As she lay the duck on the examination table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, but Cuddles has passed away."

The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead." the vet replied.

"How can you be so sure?" the woman protested. "I mean, you haven't done any tests on him. He might just be in a coma, or something like that."

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few moments later with a chocolate Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood up on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and slowly sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog and took it out.

He returned a little later with a beautiful Persian Cat. The cat jumped up on the examination table and also sniffed delicately at the bird. The cat then sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed quietly and then jumped off the table and strolled slowly out of the room.

The vet turned to the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said before, this is most definitely, one hundred percent certifiably, a dead duck."

Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill which he handed to the woman.

The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill and looked at it. "£150!", she cried. "£150 just to tell me that my duck is dead?"

The vet shrugged his shoulders. "I'm sorry, madam, but if you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have been just £20."

"It was the Lab Report and the Cat Scan which made it so much more expensive."

"What are you doing?" she asks him.

"I'm hunting flies!" he responds.

"Have you killed any yet?" she asks.

Intrigued, she enquires "How on earth can you tell their sex?".

"Easy" he retorts, "Three were on a beer can and two were on the phone".

Harry, the Englishman, is wandering around the Austrian ski resort when he sees a chap wearing a red and yellow striped jumper.

Harry goes up to the chap and asks "Excuse me, are you a skier?".

"No, I'm not a skier" comes the reply.

The next day Harry sees the chap again, goes up to him and again asks "Excuse me, I was just wondering, are you a skier?".

"No, as I told you yesterday, I'm not a skier" says the chap in the jumper.

On the third day Harry sees the same chap yet again and this time asks "Excuse me, I'm still wondering, are you a skier?".

The chap in the jumper is now quite angry and retorts "Look here, as I keep on telling you, I'm not a skier, I'm a tobogganist".

"Oh good" says Harry, "In that case I'll have twenty Silk Cut and a box of matches please".

So this duck walks into a fish and chip shop and asks "Have you got any wallpaper?".

The bloke behind the counter looks up and says "No, sorry sir, we're a fish and chip shop, we don't have wallpaper".

The following day the same duck returns to the same shop and again asks "Have you got any wallpaper?".

The bloke behind the counter replies "No sir, as I told you yesterday, we're a fish and chip shop, we don't have wallpaper".

The next day the self same duck returns to the self same shop and yet again asks "Have you got any wallpaper?".

This time the bloke behind the counter gets quite annoyed and says "Look here, as I keep on telling you, we're a fish and chip shop, we don't have wallpaper. If you come in here and ask that question one more time, I'll nail your beak to the counter".

The following day the duck is back once again at the shop. He walks in and asks the bloke behind the counter "Have you got any nails?".

"No sir, we're a fish and chip shop, we don't have any nails", comes the rather terse reply.

"Oh good" says the duck, "In that case, have you got any wallpaper?".

Two prawns were swimming around in the tropical sea. One was called Justin and the other called Christian.

They were always being threatened by the sharks that patrolled the area.

One day, during a storm, Justin said to Christian, "I'm bored with being a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn't have to worry about being eaten."

Just at that moment, a huge flash of lightning hit the water above them and, lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old friend.

Time went by and Justin found himself bored and lonely as a shark. All his old mates swam away whenever he came close to them. He didn't realise that it was his menacing appearance which was the cause of his sad plight.

The next time there was a storm, Justin wondered if that the same lightning force could change him back into a prawn.

Whilst he was deep in thought about being a prawn once more, another flash of lightning struck the water above him and, lo and behold, he turned back into prawn.

With tears of joy in his eyes, Justin swam back to all his old friends.

Looking around the gathering that greeted him, he searched for his old best friend. "Where's Christian?" he asked the others.

"He's at home, distraught that his best friend changed sides and became a shark", was the reply.

Eager to put things right again with his friend, Justin set off to Christian's house. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again."

Christian replied "No way man, you'll eat me. You're a shark, the enemy and I'll not be tricked."

Justin shouted back "No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed."

"I'm a prawn again Christian."

When the ants came out after half time, a centipede had joined their team and he scored twenty goals in the second half.

The ants finally won twenty to seventeen and the elephants' manager was congratulating his counterpart for the ants.

"Why didn't that centipede come out for the first half?" asked the elephants' manager.

The ants' manager replied "He was putting his boots on".
