Shipwrecked

A New Zealander was washed up on a beach after a terrible shipwreck. Only a sheep and a sheepdog were washed up with him.
Looking around, he realized that they were stranded on a deserted island.
After being there a while, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sun set.
One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance. As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely Kiwi.
Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it.
But the sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until the man took his arm from around the sheep.
After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling.
A few weeks passed by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. The only survivor was a beautiful young woman, the most beautiful woman the man had ever seen.
She was in a pretty bad way when he rescued her and he slowly nursed her back to health.
When the young maiden was well enough, he introduced her to their evening beach ritual.
It was another beautiful evening red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze - perfect for a night of romance.
Pretty soon, the Kiwi started to get "those feelings" again.
He fought the urges as long as he could, but he finally gave in and, realizing he now had the opportunity, leaned over to the young woman, cautiously, and whispered in her ear,
"Would you mind taking the dog for a walk?"

Some of Life's Burning Questions
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?
Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money in the account already?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars in the sky, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but he ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what colour bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead insects get into those enclosed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping trolley then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid %$@$?"
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And my FAVORITE......
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

Rolls vs VW
This VW Bug pulled up beside this Rolls at a red light, rolled down his window and asked the Rolls driver, "You got a telephone in that Rolls?"
"Matter of fact I do, right here on the seat beside me." said the Rolls driver.
"Me too," said the VW Driver,
"You got a TV in that Rolls?" The Rolls,
"Yes I do, right here on the dash."
"Me too," said the VW,
"You got a twin bed in the back seat?" Rolls,
"No, I do not."
"I do" said the VW as the light turns green and he takes off.
The Rolls manages to get the license number. The Rolls heads straight to the Auto Accessory Store not to let the VW Bug out do him.
"Yes" the accessory attendant said, "We do carry and can install a twin bed in the rear seat of your Rolls." So, after about a week the Rolls driver picked up his Rolls with the newly installed twin bed and immediately set out to locate that VW Bug.
He finally located it parked in the park near the river. As he pulled up beside it he noted that the windows were all fogged over. Knowing what causes this he waited a few minutes. Finally he got out, walked over to the VW, knocked on the window, no response. He waited another few minutes, knocked on the window again. The window lowered a couple inches and the driver said,
"Yes?"
The Rolls driver said, "I wanted you to know that I have a twin bed in the back seat of my Rolls now."
The VW frowns and says, "You get me out of the shower just to tell me that?"

BBQ Beef Ribs are Back !!!!

If you don't know what happened, let me update you a bit on this. Our BBQ ribs always have been the talk among our regular customers in Flamin' J. We suddenly took off the ribs from our menu after four months of sale. There was a problem with them. We just couldn't get the ribs to be consistent as the ribs sometimes come in very odd sizes and weight keeps fluctuating. So we stopped production of the item.
Our very regular customers kept coming to us asking about the ribs and we had to turn them down so many times that some were very angry at the loss of the ribs. So we decided to work harder in making that particular product consistent. The breakthrough came just last two weeks and now we have the ribs back on the menu. To make sure the quality is consistent, we only make very limited portions per day. We only make 10 portions of ribs per day and so far after one week, we have successfully sold out the ribs everyday.
Those of you who have not tried this wonderful item, please come by and give it a try. But give us a call first to check if we still have stock of those ok?
That's about it from me today... Oh and I will be posting up another picture of one of our favorite Radio icons..... met him the other day in Flamin' J.... keep you guys updated.
Over and out!

Flamin' J has been starstruck again today... Ms. Elaine Kang came strolling in for a meal. Will keep you guys updated on this for more updates about this.... May even have a photo with her....
For those who do not know this artiste, Ms. Elaine Kang is a very famous singer in the early nineties. She was one of the pioneers of the Chinese language songs in Malaysia. One of the memorable sights I have of her was when she appeared on tv singing the "Sejahtera Malaysia" song every day about 7:50pm just before the news on both RTM channels.
Cheers... Be back tomorrow guys!

In front of you is a galloping pig which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a helicopter flying at ground level. Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also traveling at the same speed as you.
What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?
