Well now. I think you are asking a little too much. I am not going to go through all the material to see if something has been posted already. I haven't been on the forums for many years as some of you have. Even still I have seen repeat material before and no one has commented about that. I got a smile out of the info and that is what I intended for others to do. It seems you are very critical of my postings.

If I may your posting on the longbow is incorrect on two occassions. If captured by the French English bowmen had their right index and middle finger cut off to prevent them from drawing a bow. In turn when ever English bowmen fought an defeated the French the would raise their right hand with the index and middle finger forming a Vee, (english version of the bird) Secondly the vast majority of Longbows were made from imported Yew, either from the Continent or Lebanon as English Yew was of inferior quality and in short supply. At one time a good bow stave cost in excess of 1500 pounds sterling.

If I see repeat stuff I will comment, I do not come to this topic often!
Why do you say I am critical of your postings? Do I comment on them often?
I did a search and came up with Funny History under someone else and that was from 2005. And yes, you have made comments on my postings before in the recipe forums. The point is I am not going to research jokes or funny history to see if it has been posted years before. Not all of us have time to go back and read everything.
As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, "Sweet Jeezuz, Mary'n Joseph, I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
I can't even tell if this is really the funniest thing I've seen in months -- it was exactly what I needed today! Many thanks!
I am glad it was enjoyed. As for repeats, I am retired and probably should have plenty of time to read the 173 pages but in reality, I do not. Also, my memory is not what it was 15 years ago. Belatedly I found that each time one is on the heart/lung bypass pump one looses a little memory. Having been there three times, I do not have any memory left to spare so I can not rely on that.
I suppose not all share my view but to me, re-posting something is the low end of the spectrum compared to all the things happening around us at this time. We need all the laughs we can get.
An Amish lady is trotting down the road in her horse and buggy when she is pulled over by a cop.
"Ma'am, I'm not going to ticket you, but I do have to issue you a warning. You have a broken reflector on your buggy."
"Oh, I'll let my husband, Jacob, know as soon as I get home."
"That's fine. Another thing, ma'am. I don't like the way that one rein loops across the horse's back and around one of his testicles. I consider that animal abuse. That's cruelty to animals. Have your husband take care of that right away!"
Later that day, the lady is home telling her husband about her encounter with the cop. "Well, dear, what exactly did he say?"
"He said the reflector is broken."
"I can fix that in two minutes. What else?"
"I'm not sure, Jacob......something about the emergency brake......"
While I was dining out with my children, a man came over to our table and we started talking. He asked where my kids go to school. I told him we homeschool them. With a raised eyebrow he asked if my husband is the sole breadwinner for our family. I said no, I also work, out of our home. Then, noticing our two- month-old son, he mentioned that his daughter had just had a baby and he wondered what hospital our son was born in. "He was born at home," I answered.
The man looked at me, then said, "Wow, you don't get out much, do you?"
Yesterday I was buying 2 large bags of Purina dog chow at Wal-Mart, for my dogs Winston, Chief, Gus, and Maximus.
I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think, that I had an elephant?
Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time.. On the bright side though, I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was enthralled with my story by now.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me.
I told her no;
I had stopped in the middle of the parking lot to lick my butt and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!
WAL-MART won't let me shop there anymore.

Father O'Malley An Irish priest was transferred to Texas ....
Father O'Malley rose from his bed one morning. It was a fine spring day in his new Texas mission parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the local police station......
The conversation went like this:
'Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might I help you?'
'And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St. Ann 's Catholic Church. There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn and would ye be so kind as to send a couple o'yer lads to take care of the matter?'
Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk, 'Well now Father, it was always my impression that you people took care of the last rites!'
There was dead silence on the line for a long moment..........................................
Father O'Malley then replied: 'Aye, 'tis certainly true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin!
A wealthy man commissioned Pablo Picasso to paint a portrait of his wife. Startled by the nonrepresentational image on the final canvas, the woman's husband complained, "It isn't how she really looks."
When asked by the painter how she really looked, the man produced a photograph from his wallet.
Returning the photography Pablo observed, "Small, isn't she?"
