Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Oct 29, 2014)

Astounding



Recorded by three hands,

I have no bounds.

People use me constantly,

My vastness astounds.



I'm used around the world,

Organized by ancient cultures.

Through me all things happen,

Children become geezers.

14 Classic, Cheesy Halloween Jokes For All The Family

Banter, Flannel-Frolics and Yards of Bleach - The Invention of the 'Lad'

As everyone knows, the term 'Lad' stands for Loud And (therefore) Depressed. For centuries, little has been known unto the origin of this mythical creature. Until now.



Welsh scientist Llyn Granger, who accidentally came across it whilst developing a cure for Mormonism, first noticed the 'Lad' particle in 1994. Llyn noticed that during one of her little experiments some of the particles started to act in a way that she could only describe as 'undeservingly arrogant'. Llyn, sensing danger, rushed to her mini-fridge to get a cap for the test tube, but despite her well-gripped shoes and excellent bearings, she was too late - and within minutes the virus was airborne.



Llyn grunts:



"Nothing really happens to me, so this is dead easy to recall. I was observing the Lad particle, and then before I knew it, it had left the tube and appeared to be waltzing into neighbouring experiments and, from what I could tell, goading other samples to 'drink in 5,4,3,2,1' because the other sample was 'their mate'. I was gob smacked, but also fiercely jealous. The sample looked so easily amused, and I actively wondered... what if I could place it into a human body and give mankind the same experience?"



That night, with the thought still ringing in her head like an idea phone on loud, Llyn ran back to her poorly kept house and started plotting a plan which was to change the world as we know it.



"I knew that the virus needed a host body that would receive it well. Someone lost, weak and scared, whom the virus could take over with little resistance from their immune system. I figured a 1st year Uni Student would be the perfect candidate."



The next evening, Lyln invited her 18 year old neighbour, Charlie, round her house for a game of Twister © and a Bowl-a-soup ©. Confused and slightly aroused ©, Charlie entered the house not knowing the horrors he was about to ingest and induce.



Llyn dim-wittingly recalls:



"I put a Bowl-a-soup on the hob and waited for it to reach boiling point. Charlie was sat in the living room flicking through my old TV guides and circling programs he wished he'd watched. I dropped 5mg of the virus into his bowl, and served it to him with a smile. I felt worse about the smile than the virus, because he could see the smile but not the virus"



"Charlie drank or I guess... ate? the Bowl-a-Soup. Within minutes he started to feel queasy. His curly hair began to malt like a sick Labrador, and sharp strands started to appear from his scalp, flicking into a spiky and casually thought out style. The band on his T-Shirt started to fade, and his collar became stretched down to his chest, creating the largest V-neck since records began. A pocket that had no depth also appeared on the left hand corner of his shirt, with a button that didn't unbutton. I knew then that I'd created a monster"



"He ran straight to the kitchen and smelted down all of my silverware to make a yard-sized cup. He poured all of my drinks, medicine and bleach into it and called it a 'dirty pint'. It wasn't dirty, it was poison!" Llyn somewhat laughs.



"I think the virus might be related to ADD, because before he'd even finished his first swig he dropped the yard cup and bolted out the house. Apparently he was seen grabbing any young athletic male of the street and taking them back to his for a 'shower initiation'. I could hear him from next door shouting loudly about all the women he'd slept with whilst leapfrogging over his buddy in the shower to whip his other friend with a flannel"



After 5 hours of friendly flannel flirtation to the beat of pounding dubstep, the police were called, and Charlie was put to bed. When he awoke the next morning he sensed a strange shift in his personality and body. Charlie, now unable to speak his mother tongue, found himself getting continuously flustered yet proud for referring to conversation as 'banter', women as 'slags' and all of his friends as 'Zulu Warriors' despite none of them ever setting foot on a battlefield.



Much to Llyns regret, due to the overwhelming amount of male 'Lad' contact, the virus had now spread around the country, and in 1994 had taken a hold of 48% of the 17 year old demographic. To this day, Llyn is still struggling to erase her past. But with the NHS continuously rejecting Llyns pleading Tweets for help, only time will tell how long it will be before there is any hope of a cure to this life threatening odorous disease ©. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

3d wooden brain teasers from craftypuzzles.com

A Small Selection of Alan Bennett's Sexts

"Hello. If you can see your way clear, I was of a mind to have a bit of a set-to later. You know, sex-wise. If you should fancy it. I can probably accommodate between 3 and 4.30 roughly. After that a man's coming round to adjust my aerial. BBC Two has not been itself since the departure of Jeremy Paxman."



"Hello. I have given my downstairs region a light trim, as you suggested. I caught the clippings with a copy of the free newspaper that they push through the door. Much of it gathered on the face of a local councillor, prominently featured across the centre spread. He was planting a tree. I felt quite wicked."



"Hello. Thank you so much for the various acts of congress yesterday afternoon. It really was, to coin a phrase often employed by the venerable Mr. Groves, who was both our local butcher and an excellent source of fuse wire, "a cracker". Sorry if I was slightly distracted throughout the second half. I thought of something quite earthy for Dame Maggie to get involved with and wanted to jot it down. Theatrically, you understand."



"Hello. I know you asked me to conjure up a few 'fantasy scenarios' to have a go at, but I think I will have to admit defeat. I thought I was almost onto something when I concocted an erotic tableau concerning a window cleaner in desperate need to ring out his chamois leather. Then I realised I was basically plagiarising George Formby's 'When I'm Cleaning Windows' albeit with a sexual tinge. I tried again with a milkman and a malfunctioning float, but it descended into Benny Hill's 'Ernie'. Perhaps the next time you're round we can run through a few possibilities that don't have any novelty song associations. Like a conjurer and his assistant or something."



"Hello. Many thanks for the recent digital photograph. It was very nice. At first I was slightly confused by what I was looking at and considered the possibility that it was some variety of tropical fish. But then I cottoned on that it was a member. I shall attempt to reciprocate in kind. Though I may have to leave my cardigan on, as I've been plagued with a sticky thermostat for an unfeasibly long time."



"Hello. I had always been curious about the phrase 'at it like knives' and its etymological origins (I always thought knives were quite a docile cutlery), but I never thought I would be such a willing participant. That said, my back's been playing up like billy-o ever since you left to catch the night bus. I tried to apply a small portion of Deep Heat to the affected area and nearly slipped off the edge of the bath. In the end I settled myself with two paracetamol, an instant Horlicks and an old Columbo."



"Hello. I found that the upstairs windows were quite fogged after your most recent visit. I feel like this is some kind of achievement. My mother always claimed that a vigorous rub down with some vinegar sorted this and I thought I'd give it a try. Only I was clean out of vinegar, so I soaked the corner of a tea-towel in some soy sauce. The effects were marginal."



"Hello. Today's events put me in mind of a 'blue movie' I once encountered on a pleasure boat in Scarborough Harbour. We were expecting a short informational film about local tidal patterns. There was a mix-up with the tapes apparently. I tried desperately to distract my Auntie Val with some Pick N Mix as they rectified the situation, but she was completely transfixed. "I think we used to have that pelmet," she said when she snapped to. And then she was sick on a dentist."



"Hello. I must say, all this coitus must be having some kind of effect on my internal workings as I found myself quite priapistic while cycling towards Mornington Crescent in order to buy some swede. It was either brought about by thoughts of you or the new speed bumps they've erected outside the British Home Stores. They are there to control the flow, apparently. In my case they failed."



"Hello. I had a second dry sherry at lunch and I must have been quite giddy as I entered something describing itself as an 'Adult Shop' and invested in a marital aid. Or the bachelor equivalent. The gentleman behind the counter was quite instructive on its preferred method of use and where to insert the batteries. "It takes the square ones," he said. "Like you get in a smoke alarm." I told him mine were wired directly to the mains by the local Fire Brigade during a recent campaign and as a consequence didn't need an external power source. "Neither will you," he said, waggling his eyebrows in quite a lewd aspect. To be completely honest, his comment was rather lost on me. But I didn't say anything."
