Just for a laugh

As Dave said when he forwarded this to us yesterday: "Too good not to forward (or words to that effect)". He's right: 

Wife texts husband on a cold winters morning: "Windows frozen."

Husband texts back: "pour some warm water over it."

Wife texts back: "computer completely broken now."

Ah, the modern age...

The apple attack!

At the risk of turning this into an animal site, we couldn't resist this hilarious video. Bet you can't keep a straight face, either... (Thanks to Renate.)

This is THE definition of overconfidence

The most popular post this week was titled My cat caught an eagle! a true Jimena story.

Then someone sent this photo in.

Social Security reform encourages Americans to live faster, die younger

This threatens to return us to one of our favourite JimenaPulse features (Laugh on Sunday, we think we called it) that just dried up over the summer along with most of our plants. It was sent in by Sheila H, whose plants are still surviving. We have reason to believe this might also be pertinent to Europe in its present state of uncertainty ... (Send in your funnies, people, and let's all laugh - we need it!)

It is Sunday but we're not sure if we should laugh or cry

This came in via e-mail from a regular contributor who wishes to remain anonymous. Thing is, it would be funny if it weren't so sad that people like this think they should police the world. YouTube is full of 'stupid Americans' (and quite a few 'stupid Brits', not to mention other stupid nationalities) and even discussion groups and book presentations of titles like 'How Stupid Are We?' (the American edition) as though ignorance were something to be proud of.

It's Sunday. Ddaaa, daaa, dad dada!

Thanks, Sue. There have been over 2 million views of this on YouTube, and none of them know what these two are saying but have had a good laugh trying to find out.

Sunday it is, so Sunday we laugh...

Bet you wondered why we keep getting those oh-so-damned-annoying little light cuts. The real reason is that Endesa, our favourite electricity company, has hardly anyone checking their lines anywhere near where there may be problems. Needless to say, the pylons are delighted.

It's Sunday. Shall we laugh?

Thank-you, Wendy, for this. As you say: How true! As with all good comedy, there is always a measure of truth...

Iss domingo, better we laff!

Yes, well. That classroom is fuller than most of the many we've seen in Spain with Brits trying to learn Spanish... Still, it's from the 70s show Mind your Language, so maybe we need to do some catching up. Any ideas for a similar show in ViceVersa?

Is Sunday innit?

This wasn't sent in by anybody, but it reminds us unendearingly of so many people we know in these parts ... So instead of sitting there feeling insulted (we hope not) why don't you send in your own choice? Just write a comment below or send an e-mail (see the sidebars) with a comment (optional) about why you think your item is funny.

It is probably Sunday, so perhaps we ought to laugh

From 1989, these are comedy versions of 4 popular adverts of the day (zit cream, Hamlet cigars, Yellow Pages, and British Airways). It's up to you if you laugh, of course... we'll just try to keep a straight face.

It's Sunday, why aren't we laughing?

We are, Wrinkle (that's this guy's name), we are. But over at CampoPulse now. We want to revive our Sunday laughs section, which ran for a long while here on JimenaPulse. So if you have a favourite sketch, comedy piece, any kind of funny (except the stuff that comes down the e-mail way), please send it in (instructions are over there, on CampoPulse). OH, AND WE'D LOVE TO FIND A SPONSOR FOR IT! (Correction, we NEED a sponsor!!)

The World Cup, by Ricardo Tejeiro

It's a very long time since we published one of Ricardo's cartoons, the main reason being that jokes and sucxh do not translate well. But this one needs no words, does it?

This could never happen in Spain....

...because there's respect for the deceased. Only in England, as someone said, and we thought it appropriate for this day.

 

It's Friday, let's be happy!

If you felt like THAT on Monday, maybe today, you can feel like

Sir Norman Wisdom (1915 - 2010) - he can still make us laugh!

Just a little tribute to Sir Norman Wisdom, who died last Monday. He gave at least two generations a lot of belly laughs, without resorting to bad language or innuendo. See Part 2 of Norman's This is Your Life, and Part 3, this being Part 1. Anyone remember Eamonn Andrews? And look at all those comedy stars lining up to pay tribute to a comedian who has been considered second only to Charlie Chaplin...

Weather warning wear

(By e-mail) "Hi Prospero, this made me laugh this morning despite my very wet feet...Ruiz Galan Bag-hats are definitely in this autumn!" Thanks for sending this in, it's brilliant! (What happened to the orange weather alert? We don't know, we weren't in Jimena, though in other parts of the province it went off a bit like a damp squib ... Still, worth keeping an eye on our WeatherWidget as it looks a bit unstable this week. Unstable? Me?)

It's Sunday, we need a laugh!

A golden moment from the golden age of late night TV in the US: Buddy Hackett on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show and a classsic on YouTube. Thanks Sheila for sending this in - and for reminding Prospero of when he saw the original way back when.

'One for the guys'

The hell with Monday - I'm on holiday!

So says our friend the frog (by Phil Heinzl). Lucky frog, we're not on holiday, and it's Monday again!
