Is that per American?
That one occured to me as well.
Also, I think that the champagne cork one must be on a geographic basis as I suspect that very few people are killed by champagne corks in the Australian outback or South American rain forests... Although, I could be wrong and I would need to review the raw data before putting my name to that.

Keep it up
Dave

No, its just the way the dice roles and I've not been at all busy today... Plus, no offence Dave but Michelles female and one never knows where the next wedding cake might be coming from.

Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was
really angry.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the
driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!"
The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke
up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box
gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought
the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Bob has been missing since Friday.
Blonde paint job
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said, "How about £50 ?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the £50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
Dave
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income
Very good Dave, I love the first one, bathroom scales thats funny.
My hubby forgot ours a few years ago and did realise and then went out and got me flowers as abit of an after thought! I do remind him every year since then that he did forget me.
My other half forget my Birthday 3 times within the first four years of our relationship, and on our first Valentines day which was a leap year she presented me with an expensive looking velvet small box for jewellery, I though my god she is going to propose, I opened the box with anticipation to find the content which was a ROLO lol
My hubby for the first few years always thought my birthday was the day before it actually was so I always got my pressies early. And then on a mortgage form a few years ago he told them I was a year older and got the year date wrong!! When the mortgage form came through and I spotted the error it all had to go back and be done again. So now I do the mortgage forms.
