Ed and Nancy met while on a singles cruise and Ed fell head over heels for her.
When they discovered they lived in the same city only a few miles apart Ed was ecstatic. He immediately started asking her out when they got home.
Within a couple of weeks, Ed had taken Nancy to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, movies, and museums. Ed became convinced that Nancy was indeed his soul mate and true love. Every date seemed better than the last.
On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise ship, Ed took Nancy to a fine restaurant. While having cocktails and waiting for their salad, Ed said, "I guess you can tell I'm very much in love with you. I'd like a little serious talk before our relationship continues to the next stage.
So, before I get a box out of my jacket and ask you a life changing question, it's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut. I play golf, I read about golf, I watch golf on TV. In short, I eat, sleep, and breathe golf. If that's going to be a problem for us, you'd better say so now!"
Nancy took a deep breath and responded, "Ed, that certainly won't be a problem. I love you as you are and I love golf too; but, since we're being totally honest with each other, you need to know that for the last five years I've been a hooker."
"Oh wow! I see," Ed replied. He looked down at the table, was quiet for a moment. Deep in serious thought then he added, "You know, it's probably because you're not keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball."
RESEARCHERS FOR THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT FOUND OVER 200 DEAD CROWS ON THE M25 RECENTLY,
AND THERE WAS CONCERN THAT THEY MAY HAVE DIED FROM AVIAN FLU.
A BIRD PATHOLOGIST EXAMINED THE REMAINS OF ALL THE CROWS, AND, TO EVERYONE'S RELIEF,
CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM WAS DEFINITELY NOT AVIAN FLU.
THE CAUSE OF DEATH APPEARED TO BE VEHICULAR IMPACTS.
HOWEVER, DURING THE DETAILED ANALYSIS IT WAS NOTED THAT VARYING COLOURS OF PAINTS APPEARED ON THE BIRD'S BEAKS AND CLAWS.
BY ANALYSING THESE PAINT RESIDUES IT WAS DETERMINED THAT 98% OF THE CROWS HAD BEEN KILLED BY IMPACT WITH TRUCKS, WHILE ONLY 2% WERE KILLED BY AN IMPACT WITH A CAR.
MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT THEN HIRED AN ORNITHOLOGICAL BEHAVIOURIST TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A CAUSE FOR THE DISPROPORTIONATE PERCENTAGES OF TRUCK KILLS VERSUS CAR KILLS.
THE ORNITHOLOGICAL BEHAVIOURIST VERY QUICKLY CONCLUDED THE CAUSE:
--- WHEN CROWS EAT ROAD KILL, THEY ALWAYS HAVE A LOOK-OUT CROW IN A NEARBY TREE TO WARN OF IMPENDING DANGER.
THEY DISCOVERED THAT WHILE ALL THE LOOKOUT CROWS COULD SHOUT "CAH!"
NOT A SINGLE ONE COULD SHOUT "TRUCK! "
