madeira4u - Silly Page
Ever seen a "Silly Page" before ?

I bet not ... lets see if it catches on!

The idea is to give you a break from the mundane world, to give you a rest
from web trawling and boring old company websites, and to see if I can
make you smile at least once today!

Check back regularly .................... I have a wealth of new material to choose

Remember, you saw it here first!
A tourist is driving around Madeira when he sees a sign in front of a house that says  "Talking Dog For Sale' ("Cão Falante - Vende-Se").
He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador sitting there.
"You talk?" he  asks. "Yes," the dog  replies.

"So, what's  the story?"

The dog looks  up and says: "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the
Police about my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders,
because no one figured a dog  would be eavesdropping. I was their most valuable spies for nine years running."

"The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger, so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the
airport to do some undercover security wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and
was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a load of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

"Ten euros," the man says.

"Ten euros? This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

"Because he's a liar. He never did any of that stuff"


A man riding his Harley, was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice, the
Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."

The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking,  the supports required to reach
the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard
for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something more achievable that wouldn't be to the
detriment of mankind."

The biker thought hard about it for a long time. Finally, he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand my wives. I want to know how she
feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's
wrong,and how I can make her truly happy"

The Lord replied,  "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"


The other day I went into town and went into a shop.

I was only in there for about 5 minutes. When I came out there was a cop writing out a
parking ticket. I went up to him and said, "Come on man, how about giving a good citizen
a break?"

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a twit. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tyres.
So I called him a halfwit. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket.

This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Personally, I didn't care. I came into town by bus.
... and finally, for now ...
