(-:(-:(-:THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD:-):-):-)

Posted on 07/27/2012 5:57:47 AM PDT by Lucky9teen

Obama is scheduled to speak at the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Nervous, he asks for a teleprompter.

On the day of the speech, he takes to the podium and starts, "Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh."

An aide quickly rushes to his side and whispers, "Mr. President, those are the Olympic rings. Your speech is below that!"


Three American citizens were standing outside the stadium where the Olympics were being held, bemoaning the fact that none of them could afford a ticket. 

All three wanted SO much to be able to see the athletes from their native land compete. 

They watched as the competitors entered through a special back gate by telling the guard their country and event. 

One of the three friends looked around and found a length of pipe lying on the ground. 

He hefted it to his shoulder, walked to the gate and told the guard "England. High jump." And the guard let him in! 

"That's fantastic!" cried the second friend. He looked around, picked up a manhole cover, and headed for the special gate. "Russia. Discus," he told the guard, and in he went. 

"Amazing" said the third friend, who by now was frantically searching around. But all he could find was some barbed wire. He grabbed it, ran to the gate, and announced "Poland. Fencing."




 

10 Funny Olympic Commentating Howlers

  1. The Republic of China - back in the Olympic Games for the first time.
  2. And the line up for the final of the Women's 400 metres hurdles includes three Russians, two East Germans, a Pole, a Swede and a Frenchman.  (Guy had to read the last word again FrenchMAN?)
  3. That's the fastest time ever run - but it's not as fast as the world record.
  4. Old Olympic skiers never die. They just go downhill.
  5. Paralympics: 'They're making great strides with their swimming'.
  6. The late start for this final is due to the time.
  7. Watch the time - it gives you an indication of just how fast they are running (Ron Pickering).
  8. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition does not like it.  In fact you can see it all over their faces". 
  9. You won't win silver medals at the Olympic Games unless you're the very, very best. - Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator.
  10. In the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Cuba's Alberto Juantorena won the 400 and 800m gold medal. While describing the 800m race Ron Pickering said: 'And there goes Juantorena down the back straight, opening his legs and showing his class'. 

 


The European countries are really hoping to do well in the Olympics. If they win gold medals, they can use them as cash." –David Letterman

"Olympics can inspire American kids to get active. Or it can inspire American kids to sit on the couch and watch the Olympics." –Conan O'Brien

"Even though the Olympics take place during Ramadan, some Muslim athletes said they will not fast during games. Then, after sampling the British food, they said, on second thought, fasting sounds good." –Conan O'Brien

"At the Beijing Olympics in 2008, they handed out 100,000 condoms. This year it's 150,000. That's 100,000 for the U.S. basketball team and 50,000 for everyone else." –Jimmy Kimmel

"How about those Olympic uniforms? They're made by Ralph Lauren and they're beautiful. They're colorful, they're odd. I mean they look like the cast of 'Glee.' They look like the entire navy of Monaco." –David Letterman

"President Obama said 1992’s dream team was better than this year’s Olympic basketball team. Which is interesting because a lot of people think 1992’s president is better than this year’s president." –Jimmy Fallon

"Well, President Obama and first lady Michelle went to see the U.S. Olympic basketball team play Brazil the other day. And during the game, they were put on the kiss cam. At first, they didn't kiss and the crowd booed them. Then the camera went back to them. And they finally did kiss. Isn't that amazing? A politician in Washington caught on camera kissing a woman he's actually married to?" –Jay Leno

"Well, Harry Reid and other members of congress, they're just furious over this Olympic uniform deal. He says we should burn the uniforms, and it's an embarrassment and a disgrace. Not as embarrassing as congress constantly borrowing money from the Chinese, but still embarrassing." –Jay Leno

"Have you seen the Olympic uniforms? It's for the American Olympic team and it's berets. To me, nothing says America like a guy in a beret. Look at our founding fathers, they all wore berets." –David Letterman

"Last night I went out for Chinese. I picked up a Team USA Olympic uniform." –Jay Leno

"I guess you heard about this; the U.S. Olympic Committee is coming under fire after it was revealed that the uniforms for Team USA to be worn in the opening ceremony were made in China. Turns out they were made by some of the same kids who could beat us in gymnastics. That's the worst part." –Jay Leno

My wife left a note on the fridge:
“It’s not working. I can’t take it anymore! Gone to stay at my Mom’s.”

I opened the fridge, the light came on and the beer was cold.

Not quite sure what she was talking about.

Years ago it was suggested that an apple a day kept the doctor away. But since all the doctors are now Muslim, I’ve
found that a bacon sandwich works best!

Near my home in Texas , there is a large German-speaking population, a rancher walking down a country road notices a man using his right hand to drink water from the rancher’s stock pond.

The rancher shouted: ” Sehr angenehm! Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen.” Which means: (“Glad to meet you! Don’t drink the water. The cows have sh*t in it.”)

The man shouted back: “I’m from New York and just down here campaigning for Obama’s health care plan. I can’t understand you. Please speak in English.”

The rancher replied: “Use both hands. You’ll get more.”

Not funny....

GE Moving from Wisconsin. Keep your eye on Waukesha, Wisconsin......Their biggest employer just moved out. General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha, Wis., to Beijing. In addition to moving the headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last year, but paid no taxes - the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the United States. So let me get this straight.

President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt is supposed to help create jobs. I guess the President forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs. Thanks Jeff, you’re a “real” American....give Barrack our Best!

___________________________________________

While shopping for vacation clothes, my husband and I passed a display of bathing suits. It had been at least ten years and twenty pounds since I had even considered buying a bathing suit, so I sought my husband’s advice.

‘Better get a bikini,’ he replied. ‘You’d never get it all in one.’

He’s still in intensive care.

The economy is so bad that I went to my bank to get a loan, they said, “What a coincidence! That’s just what we were going to ask you!”

Advice for short men:

Beware of tall women!
When you are toes to toes, your nose is in it
And when you are nose to nose, your toes are in it.

A fireman is in the station driveway, polishing the fire engine, when he notices the little girl, wearing her toy fireman's helmet, next door.

Her little red wagon has a small ladder tied to it, a hose coiled up inside, and her dog and cat tied to the front -- the dog, by its collar, and the cat by its tail.

"Nice fire truck you have there!", he says.

"But, it would go better if you tied the rope to the cat's collar, instead..."

"Thanks!", she replied... "But... what would I do for a siren?"

I made 5 deployments to the Mediterranean while in the Navy. One of the most beautiful women I saw overseas was a babe in Tel Aviv walking down the street with an Uzi slung from her shoulder.

You reminded me of the midget Indian that would fill his moccasins with sand whenever he passed gas. The only scalps he took either had a handle or a hole in the middle. He was finally kicked out of the tribe for always sticking his nose in everyone’s business.
