The Saturday Night Joke


An American soldier, serving in World War II, had just returned from several weeks of intense action on the German front lines. He had finally been granted R&R and had made it to Southampton, England, there to board a train bound for a few days in London.

The train was very crowded, so the soldier walked the length of the train, looking for an empty seat. The only unoccupied seat he found was one directly across from a well-dressed, middle-aged lady and was being used by her little dog. The war-weary soldier asked, “Please, ma’am, may I sit in that seat?” The English woman looked down her nose at the soldier, sniffed and said, “You Americans. You are such a rude class of people. Can’t you see my little Fifi is using that seat?”

The soldier walked away, determined to find a place to rest, but after another trip to the end of the train, he found himself once again facing the woman with the dog in the opposite seat. Again he asked, “Please, lady. May I sit there? I’m very tired.”

The English woman wrinkled her nose and snorted, “You Americans! Not only are you rude, but you are also quite arrogant. Imagine!”

The soldier leaned against the swaying wall of the train and again asked if he might please sit down. The lady said, “Not only are you Americans rude and arrogant, you’re also very inconsiderate.”

The soldier didn’t say anything else. Instead, he leaned over, picked up the little dog, tossed it out the window of the train, and sat down in the empty seat. The woman shrieked and railed, demanding that someone defend her and chastise the soldier.

An English gentleman sitting across the aisle spoke up, “You know, sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding your fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you’ve thrown the wrong bitch out the window.” (H/T TN Deplorable)

The ONT Movie Review.....................

Nostalgia, is it a bad thing? Is it a good thing? Is it just a thing?

Kindergarten curriculum from the 1950s should be instituted in every Headstart Pre-K program as well as Kindergarten.

Strange 'Tasks' Kindergartners Were Expected To Do In The 1950s

People always say things were better in the 1950s, don’t they? But after learning what kindergartners were expected to do back then, you might not be so sure. Seriously, would you allow your kindergartner to skip to school alone? Or teach them how to survive a nuclear attack? The stark differences between now and then are just insane! And if you don’t believe us, check out the 1954 report card of a certain Margaret Bramer. These are 20 of the most shocking things on there.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this is a job or a hobby.

Aldi is looking for a professional beer taster to drink and review their alcoholic beverages. The gig isn’t paid, but it does come with nearly a dozen beers that reviewers can sample from home.

I hate to fly. Although I wouldn't mind sitting next to this guy.

A US man boarded a flight with something that did not meet the dimension specifications for hand luggage - his giant Great Dane.

Gabriel Bogner, 27, left both passengers and crew speechless after filling out three seats with his colossal canine while taking a cross-country flight on from Los Angeles, California, to New York City.

Darwin the Great Dane required two entire seats to sprawl comfortably on while her owner took the third for himself.

"The incident remains under investigation. As in all criminals cases, all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law,"

WILMINGTON, Mass. —
The Wilmington Police Department is providing an update on its effort to catch a thief or thieves at a cemetery in the Massachusetts town, as well as the person who stole a trail camera detectives had set up there to monitor gravesites.

Wilmington police first shared photos of a man whom they believed stole their $500 trail camera from Wildwood Cemetery to their Facebook page on Friday. But by 9:30 p.m. Saturday, police said they removed the photos of that person from their Facebook page after he contacted detectives.

Remodeling is a crap shoot. This little project finished with an exciting conclusion.

Raging builder whips out chainsaw on finished extension after 'owner refuses to pay'
In a moment of sheer horror, a neighbour watched on as an enraged builder utilised a chainsaw to destroy an extension after the owner refused to pay him for his work


As the sound of destruction filled the air, he began sawing into the roof for two whole minutes before shouting obscenities.

The Irishman screamed: "This is what happens when you don't pay the f***ing bill."


I don't believe Christmas cards and references will be exchanged this year.

Financial issues? Infidelity issues? These issues helped create a Genius Award Winner.

The latest McDonald’s cheeseburger attack comes from south Florida, where a cop has been accused of throwing fast food at his wife during a violent confrontation yesterday afternoon in their home.

Investigators allege that an “irate” Andres Perez, 34, and his spouse had been arguing about “financial and infidelity issues” when the lawman “stormed into the kitchen in [his wife’s] direction throwing a McDonald’s cheeseburger at her.”

The victim told police that Perez then struck her with a closed fist “to the right side of head behind ear” during the incident in their Miramar residence, according to an arrest report.
