British Jokes And Humour - 7

There was a farmer who rebuilt an old barn on his property. He kept the cows, pigs, chickens and the plowhorse in that barn. But the birds were so used to using that barn as a nesting place that they kept annoying the poor old horse. The farmer went to the mayor (who was also a baker) for help in getting rid of the birds. The mayor told him to sprinkle yeast on the barn floor, which the farmer did. Lo and behold - it worked! The next day, the farmer went back to the mayor and asked how it was possible.
The mayor said, "Easy. Yeast is yeast and nest is nest, and never the mane shall tweet."

There were these three wildebeests out in the desert: a Papa wildebeest, a Mama wildebeest, and a baby wildebeest. They're travelling along, trying to get home, but they get lost and are trying to find their way out of the desert. The sun beats down and it gets hotter and hotter. The poor wildebeests get thirstier and weaker. Finally, the Papa wildebeest collapses from the heat and dies. The Mama and baby continue, but soon the Mama wildebeest also collapses and dies. The baby struggles on for a while, but he, too, is finally overcome and dies.
That's the end of the gnus. Now, for the weather!

On the day before the Battle of Hastings, King Harold said to the commander of his army, "Are the troops ready?"
"They are, your Majesty", said the commander, "Would you like a demonstration?"
"Yes, I would", said the King. So the commander lined all the archers up and instructed them to fire off a volley. Three thousand arrows sped through the air and landed a quarter of a mile away. But one clumsey archer fired straight up into the air, and the arrow went up several hundred feet, turned round and came back down again, landing about six inches from where the King was standing.
"You want to watch that fellow", said the King. "If he's not careful, he'll have somebody's eye out tomorrow!"

A tribal chieftain's daughter was offered as a bride to the son of a neighboring chief in exchange for two cows and four sheep.

The father grunted, "The fool doesn't know which side his bride is bartered on."

There was a man who owned many sheep and wanted to take them over a river that was frozen over, but the woman who owned the river said "no."
So he promised to marry her, and that's how he pulled the wool over her ice.
