Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning โ absolutely magical!
A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich.
The barman looks at him and says,
"Hang on! You're a duck."
"I see your eyes are working," replies the duck.
"And you can talk" !!
Exclaims the barman.
"I see your ears are working, too,"
Says the duck.
"Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?"
"Certainly, sorry about that,"
Says the barman as he pulls the duck's pint.
"It's just we don't get many ducks in this pub. What are you doing around this way?"
"I'm working on the building site across the road," Explains the duck.
"I'm a plasterer."
The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it.
So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the barman good day and leaves.
The same thing happens for two weeks.
Then one day the circus comes to town.
The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him
"You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!"
"Sounds marvellous," says the ringmaster, handing over his business card.
"Get him to give me a call."
So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says,
"Hey Mr Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money."
"I'm always looking for the next job,"
Says the duck.
"Where is it?"
"At the circus,"
Says the barman.
"The circus?"
Repeats the duck.
"That's right,"
Replies the barman.
"The circus?"
The duck asks again.
with the big tent?"
"Yeah," the barman replies.
"With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who live in caravans?" says the duck.
"Of course," the barman replies.
"And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?" persists the duck.
"That's right!" says the barman.
The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says;
"What the hell would they want with a plasterer" ???

"Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?" said Tommy.
"No, ..." said the Queen, "....but I might not be able to give you a full answer."
"Do you like football?" said Tommy.
"Well not really ," said the Queen.
"In that case, ...'" said Tommy, "....do you mind if I have your Cup Final Tickets?"
An S&M model who helped usher in the American sexual revolution of the 1960s, Bettie Page suddenly disappeared from the spotlight in 1957 โ and resurfaced years later as an unstable born-again Christian.
In 1972, Page allegedly held her third husband and his kids at knifepoint, shouting of the "retribution of God." Just three months later, she ran through a religious gathering with a .22-caliber pistol.
But her worst episode occurred in late 1982 when the former pinup entered the bedroom of her sleeping landlady with a serrated knife, straddled her and shook her awake, whispering, "God has inspired me to kill you!" Page then stabbed the woman multiple times
