Subj:     An Actor Gets A Part (S641b)
          From: LABLaughsAdult on 4/21/2009

 An out of work actor gets a call from his agent one day.
 "I've got you a job" says his agent.

 "That's great" says the actor, what is it?"

 "Well" says his agent "it's a one-liner"

 "That's okay" replies the actor, "I've been out of work
 for so long I'll take anything; What's the line?"

 "'Hark I hear the cannons roar'" says the agent.

 "I love it" says the actor "When's the audition?"

 "Wednesday" says the agent.

 Wednesday comes and the actor arrives at the audition.
 He marches on stage and shouts: "Hark I hear the cannons
 roar".

 "Brilliant" says the director, "you've got the job, be
 here 9 o'clock Saturday evening".

 The actor is so chuffed he got the job that he goes on
 a major bender.  He wakes up 8:30 Saturday evening and
 runs to the theatre continually repeating his line;
 "Hark I hear the cannons roar, hark I hear the cannons
 roar, hark I hear the cannons roar".

 He arrives at the stage entrance, out of breath and is
 stopped by the bouncer. "Who the hell are you?" asks the
 bouncer.

 "I'm 'hark I hear the cannons roar'"

 "You're 'hark I hear the cannons roar', you're late,
 get up to makeup straight away.

 So he runs up to make up. "Who the hell are you" asks
 the makeup girl.

 "I'm 'hark I hear the cannons roar'"

 "You're "hark I hear the cannons roar", you're late,
 sit down here" and she applies the makeup. "Now quick,
 get down to the stage, you're about to go on"

 So he dashes down to the stage. "Who the hell are you"
 asks the stage manager.

 "I'm 'hark I hear the cannons roar'"

 "You're 'hark I hear the cannons roar', get on there,
 the curtains about to go up"

 So he tears onto the stage.  The curtains rise, the
 house is full.  Suddenly there is an almighty bang
 behind him, and the actor shouts "WHAT THE FUCK WAS
 THAT?"

Subj:     Where's the Road? (S676b)
          From: LABLaughsClean on 12/31/2009

 A friend and I were driving in the country looking for an
 address. We found the town, but we couldn't locate the
 road.

 We drove to the police station, but they'd never heard of
 the road.  Neither had the Fire Department.  We went to
 City Hall, where a community get together was going on.
 We consulted a map, with no luck, until we happened to
 ask one young man who knew exactly where the road was.
 He pointed to the map, showing us exactly how to get
 there.

 I said, "Thank you! Are you with the police or the Fire
 Department?"

 "Neither. I deliver pizzas."
