Seven yearl old boy being beaten by everyone ! ! !

A seven year old boy was at the centre of a courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the England Football Team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

An Italian, a Scotsman, and a Chinese fellow were hired at a research institute Stores facility.

One day, the Logistics Manager pointed out a huge pile of sawdust in the loading bay and told the Italian guy, "You're in charge of sweeping."

To the Scotsman he said, "You're in charge of shovelling." And to the Chinese guy, "You're in charge of supplies."

He then said, "Now, I’m going to a Stores Management meeting. While I’m gone, I expect you guys to shift that pile of sawdust."

The logistics manager went away for a couple of hours, and, when he returned, the pile of sawdust was untouched.

He asked the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?" The Italian replied, "I no hava no broom. You said to the Chinese fella that he a wasa in a charge of supplies, but he hassa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere.”

Then the foreman turned to the Scotsman and said, "And you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile." The Scotsman replied, "Aye, ye did laddy, boot ah couldnay get meself a shoovel! Ye left th' Chinese gadgie in chairge of supplies, boot ah couldnay fin' him neither."

The Logistics Manager was really angry by now and stormed off toward the pile of sawdust to look for the Chinese guy.

Just then, the Chinese guy jumped out from behind the pile of sawdust and yelled...

"SUPPLIES!"

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business.

When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his fortune.

One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.

"I may look like just an ordinary man," he said to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die, and I'll inherit $200 million."

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at financial planning than men.

Ever since it started snowing, the missus has spent her time looking through the window.

If she doesn't stop it soon, I suppose I'll have to let her in

last night, I saw some people snorting curry powder instead of cocaine.

They clearly had a reaction to the curry, as they were later taken to hospital - it seems one is in a korma, and the other is giving doctors cause for concern with a dodgy tikka
