9th Aug 2012 The Succinct British Humour - My Kind

Aug 09

** Resusci Annie ~
Will is qualified first aider to instruct CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) to Year 10 students, with the help of Surrey Ambulance Service, as part of the PHSE syllabus.
Classes always used the mannequin known to all as "Resusci Annie". The particular model used by Will's students was legless for easier storing in a carrying case.

Youngsters used to practise on Annie in groups in preparation for their examinations.

Philip, following Will's teaching knelt beside Resusci Annie and shook her asking, "Are you all right?". He then put his ear over the mouth to see if the dummy was breathing, all correct procedure.

Philip then turned to Will and said with a straight face, "Sir, she says she can't feel her legs."

** The Price Of A Fish ~
Michael and Peter went on a fishing trip. They hired all the equipment: the reels, the rods, bait, wading boots, rowing boat, the car and even a log cabin in the woods. No expense was spared for their yearly expedition.

On the first day they went fishing they didn't catch a thing. The same thing happened on the second day, and on the third day. It continued like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, Michael caught a fish.

As they're driving home they're really depressed. Peter turns to his friend, Michael, and says, "Do you realise that this one pathetic fish we have caught cost us £900?"

Michael replies with a jaundiced smile, " Crikey, it's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"
