A guy says "Doc, you gotta help me. Every time I fart, it sounds like 'Honda'". The doctor says "You say, 'Honda?'" "No" the guy says. "My farts do". So, the doctor says "Okay, open your mouth" and looks inside. After about two minutes, the doctor says "I'm sorry, I can't help you, you need to go see a denti...

What a brilliant spot. Here for 4 nights. Weather good. Most people enjoying themselves. Entertaining with boats mainly towing small kids. Four parts to the camp; fully paid, bunkhouse type accomodation, paid spots with power and freebies. A real out-of-the-way gem. Its the centre of the painted...

We ran into a guy a few days ago with a 20ft Patriot caravan towed by a brand new Toyota Land Cruiser. The caravan had a few dents & scratches on it despite it being relatively new. Asked the guy what happened & he said that he'd just got rid of a late model Mazda BT50 with all the bells & whistles...

Over the last few weeks following the death of an old friend's wife, we've been attempting to dispose of quite a few disability aids - walkers, hoists, chair lifts, electric beds etc etc. Basically we found that despite most of the items being never used, it is virtually impossible to give them away. O...

The man first points to his eye, then points to his knee and finally makes a raking motion. The wife is not sure and...

On a trip the van normally weighs between 2600kg and 2700kg loaded with a 260kg ball weight (tanks empty). I use a WDH with rear air bags in the coils to stiffen the suspension, the Sports handles the weight pretty well especially with the 8 speed transmision but is a bit thirsty and has a small fuel tank w...

I dont know much about fridges but I suspect it is a thermostat p...

A husband crawls back home drunk on night. Next day he wakes up with a hangover and sees that the whole house is clean and his shirts are laundered and there is a breakfast already prepared. So he asks his son: Hey Billy, what is up, why is your mother so nice to me considering my condition last night? Bi...

Just a piece for information. My motorhome is around 16yrs old now. I have an LPG detector that started sounding off intermittently and switching of the gas flow via a solenoid. I checked all the piping/solenoid with the old soapy water and all good. Last week the Fault light came on and of course the al...
