The "I need cheering up" game

[Black pearl]

I have been pretty bummed out lately & I'm sure I'm not the only one, so I had the idea for this game, here is how you play;
you say what has been bothering you & every one else trys to cheer you up by telling jokes, storys, or some thing they think will help.
Any one can play.
You dont need to say what is bothering you if you dont want to,
And you don't need a valid reason to need cheering up, coz some times there isn't a reason.
I'll start, I need cheering up coz I have been arguing with my brother lately, Steve Irwin died & my pet chicken is sick.

[anger is pointless]

i hope this cheers you up

how to tell if your driving to fast



and if that doesnt do it then try these jokes on for size

my aunt sent me this joke its called

the good wife

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the man's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from his body because he was too skinny. So the wife offered to donate some of her own skin. However, the only skin on her body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from her buttocks.

The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and they requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the man's new face He looked more handsome than he ever had before! All his friends and relatives just went on and on about his youthful beauty!

One day, he was alone with his wife, and he was overcome with emotion at her sacrifice. He said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?"

My darling," she replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.


joke number two my uncle sent me this one

Farmer Joe decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company (responsible for the accident) to court. In court the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'?" said the lawyer.

Farmer Joe responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the......."

"I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted, "just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'"

Farmer Joe said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road..."

The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."

By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie."

Joe thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her he took out his gun and put her out of her misery Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, "Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her - how are you feeling?"

Yep, that did the trick that pic is soooo funny! It made me & my family laugh a lot! Thank you for sharing it & for cheering me up. I think it will cheer up quite a few people. Oh & by the way my chicken is just fine now .

[Disney Duster]

So, I'm glad you're cheered up, and this thread was a nice idea, but I must ask, Black Pearl, how your pet chicken came into your life.

[anger is pointless]

im glad i was able to help black pearl

can we keep this thread open to cheer up the other boardies too

[Black pearl]

I hope so Anger is pointless, that's the idea of the game.
And to answer Disney Duster's question, my pet chicken was part of a school project, "how to run your own business" I used to have about 30 chickens, but due to foxes & old age, i have about half a dozen, which is now part of the family, but she is my dad's favourite Chicken & is 2nd in command out of the flock. I used to have a little chicken called Babe (she was my fave) that came running over to me when I called her by name, She also sat on my head & watched tv with me, weird hu?

[Disney Duster]

She ran to you when you called her name? She sat with you and watched TV? That may be weird, but it's also really sweet! See, I think when owners love an animal, that animal becomes really special and does extraordinarily intelligent things that show they love their owners, like sit still during their owner's favorite T.V. program!

[waltmad]

Came when called? watched tv sitting on your head? I personally don't think that's clever, i mean can it jump through a flaming hoop or play chess & win.
