Michael Jackson is dead jokes

These are a couple of jokes floating around now the Michael Jackson is dead. I do apologise for the insensitivity.
—–

Since Michael Jackson is 99% plastic, they are going to melt him down and turn him into lego blocks so that little kids can play with him for a change.

Newsflash – Michael Jackson did not die of a cardiac arrest?
He was in the children’s ward having a stroke!

Michael Jacksons death is so tragic, he touched so many children in so many special ways.

Apparently the heart attack was caused when he tripped over a pram, doctors are saying “dont blame it on the buggie!”

Gary Glitter has applied to adopt Michael Jackson’s kids.

What’s the difference between Michael Jackson and Alex Ferguson?
Alex Ferguson will be playing Giggs in August.

Michael Jackson’s official cause of death: “The Boogie”. The Sunshine, Moonlight and the Good Times were released after extensive questioning showed they could not be blamed.

Paramedics at the scene report that Michael Jackson never got his colour back.

On the bright side, Michael Jackson had so much plastic surgery, he can be recycled!

At the autopsy they found children’s underwear strapped to Michael Jackson’s upper arm. According to his doctors it is just a patch, he’s been trying to quit for a while.

The FBI has raided Jackos house and found class A drugs in the kitchen, class B drugs in the living room and class 5c in his bedroom.

Michael Jackson’s death is only a PR stunt. At the funeral he will jump out of the coffin and sing thriller.

MJ’s cardiac arrest was brought about when he found out that Boyz 2 Men were a boy band and not a delivery service.

I don’t feel any emotion for MJs death… Guess he never really touched me when I was younger.

Michael Jackson’s UK tour will still go ahead as planned. A spokesman said “So much of Michael was saved by the doctors after his surgical procedures that we are confident of being able to put something together.”

Coca Cola sales in the Middle East

A disappointed salesman of Coca Cola returns from his Middle East assignment.
A friend asked, “Why weren’t you successful with the Arabs?”

The salesman explained…

“When I got posted in the Middle East, I was very confident that I would make a good sales pitch as Cola is virtually unknown there. But, I had a problem I didn’t know to speak Arabic. So, I planned to convey the message through three posters.

First poster: A man lying in the hot desert sand…totally exhausted and fainting.

Second poster: The man is drinking our Cola.

Third poster: Our man is now totally refreshed.

These posters were pasted all over the place.

“Then that should have worked!” said the friend.
“Of Course it should have!? said the salesman, “I just didn’t realize that Arabs read from right to left”

Getting old 2 – more funny jokes about old people!

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy: ‘So I hear you’re getting married?’
‘Yep!’
‘Do I know her?’
‘Nope!’
‘This woman, is she good looking?’
‘Not really.’
‘Is she a good cook?’
‘Naw, she can’t cook too well.’
‘Does she have lots of money?’
‘Nope! Poor as a church mouse.’
‘Well, then, is she good in bed?’
‘ I don’t know.’
‘Why in the world do you want to marry her then?’
‘Because she can still drive!’

Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, ‘Windy, isn’t it?’
Second one says, ‘No, it’s Thursday!’
Third one says, ‘So am I. Let’s go get a soda.’

A man was telling his neighbor, ‘ I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it’s state of the art. It’s perfect.’

‘Twelve thirty.’

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, ‘You’re really doing great, aren’t you?’
Morris replied, ‘Just doing what you said, Doc: ‘Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.’
The doctor said, ‘ I didn’t say that. I said, ‘You’ve got a heart murmur; be careful.’

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.

Getting old – funny jokes about old people!

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says:
‘Slim, I’m 83 years old now and I’m just full of aches and pains. I know you’re about my age. How do you feel?’
Slim says, ‘ I feel just like a newborn baby.’
‘Really!? Like a newborn baby!?’
‘Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.’

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple’s house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, ‘Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.’
The other man said, ‘What is the name of the restaurant?’
The first man thought and thought and finally said, ‘What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?
You know… The one that’s red and has thorns.’
‘Do you mean a rose?’
‘Yes, that’s the one,’ replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, ‘Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?’

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who
insisted he didn’t need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
‘ I don’t know,’ he said. ‘She’s still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.’

Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they’re physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.
‘Want anything while I’m in the kitchen?’ he asks.
‘Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?’
‘Sure.’
‘Don’t you think you should write it down so you can remember it?’ she asks.
‘No, I can remember it.’
‘Well, I’d like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so’s not to forget it?’
He says, ‘ I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.’
‘I’d also like whipped cream. I’m certain you’ll forget that, write it down?’ she asks.
Irritated, he says, ‘ I don’t need to write it down, I can remember it!
Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream – I got it, for goodness sake!’
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, The old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.
‘Where’s my toast?’

A Pack of Dogs Attacking a Crocodile

At times nature can be cruel but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.

The crocodile, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the ‘apex predator’, can still fall victim to implemented ‘team work’ strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and survival of the pack mentality bred into the canines.

See the remarkable photograph attached, courtesy of a Nature Magazine. Note that the alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the croc preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the croc.

Job interviews without ears

Sadly, Tony was born without ears, and though he proved to be successful in business, his problem annoyed him greatly.

One day he needed to hire a new manager for his company, so he set up three interviews.

The first guy was great. He knew everything he needed to know and was very interesting, but at the end of the interview, Tony asked him, “Do you notice anything different about me?”
“Why, yes, I couldn’t help but notice that you have no ears,” came the reply.
Tony did not appreciate his honesty and threw him out of the office.

The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the first guy. But he asked her the same question: “Do you notice anything different about me?”
“Well,” she said stammering, “you have no ears.”
Tony again got upset and chucked her out in a rage.

The third and final interviewee was the best of the bunch. He was a young man who had recently earned his MBA. He was smart, he was handsome and he seemed to be a better businessman than the first two put together. Tony was anxious, but went ahead and asked the young man the same question:
“Do you notice anything different about me?”
Much to his surprise, the young man answered, “Yes, you wear contact lenses, don’t you?”
Tony was shocked and realised this was an incredibly observant person.
“How in the world did you know that?”, he asked.

The young man fell off his chair laughing hysterically and replied,
“Well, it’s pretty hard to wear glasses with no f**king ears!!”
