Etiket vir Brakpanners

(soos voorgeskryf deur Emsie Schoeman, en hersien deur Andre P. Brink) 

ALGEMEEN 

1. Moet nooit bier saamvat na 'n job interview nie. 
2. Probeer eers uitvind wie die mense in jou jaard is voor jy begin skiet. 
3. Die dominee smaak dit nie as jy 'n cooler box saamvat kerk toe nie. 
4. As jy die bed moet stofsuig is dit tyd om ander lakens op te sit. 
5. Selfs al is jy seker jy is ingesluit in die testament, moenie jou Venter saamsleep na 'n begrafnis toe nie. 

UITEET 

1. As jy wyn skink, tilt die paper cup sodat jy nie die "vrug" van die wyn bederf nie. 
2. As jy uit die bottel uit drink, hou hom so vas sodat jou vingers die label toehou. 

ONTHAAL IN JOU HUIS 

1. Moenie jou geliefde opgestopte hamster/kat/hond/aap op die koffietafel sit nie. 
2. Moenie dat jou hond van die tafel eet nie (al is sy maniere beter as jou gaste s'n). 

PERSOONLIKE GESONDHEID 

1. Terwyl ore gereeld moet skoongemaak word, is dit 'n job wat verkieslik met jou eie bakkiesleutels gedoen moet word. 
2. Grond en olie onder jou vinger naels is 'n social nee, want dit gee daai finger snacks 'n snaakse smaak en cherries laaik dit nie so kwaai nie. 

VERHOUDINGS (buite die familie) 

1. Bied altyd aan om die aas aan jou goose se hoek te sit, veral met die eerste date. 
2. Wees aggressief. Laat weet haar jy wag al twee jaar om met haar uit te gaan nadat jy daai goed gelees het teen die toilet muur daar by Shoprite. 
3. Maak seker jy vind uit by haar ma-hulle wanneer sy by die huis moet wees. Party sal sê 10-uur, ander "Maandag". As die antwoord Maandag is,is dit Jou job om te sorg dat sy betyds by die skool is. 

FLIEK 

1. Moenie met die mense op die screen probeer praat nie. Jarelange wetenskaplike navorsing het bewys dat hulle jou nie kan hoor nie. 

TROUES 

1. Kleinvee is nie so 'n hot trougeskenk nie. 
2. As jy die bruid langer as 5 sekondes soen, kan jy miskien geskiet word. 
3. Vir die bruidegom: Huur 'n tux; 'n corduroy broek en T-shirt met 'n Cummerbund werk nie so lekker nie. 
4. Al is dit moelik, se maar ja vir sokkies en skoene (al is dit dan net vir die kerk). 

BESTUUR 

1. Dim jou ligte as 'n kar van voor af kom, al is jou gun gelaai. 
2. As jy by 'n 4-way stop kom, ry die ou met die grootste wiele eerste. 
3. Moet nooit 'n ander blaar se kar tou met pantyhose en duct tape nie.. 
4. As jy jou vrou/goose met 'n kannetjie stuur om te gaan petrol haal, is dit swak maniere om haar te vra om bier ook saam terug te bring. 
5. Moenie spin as jy in 'n begrafnisstoet ry nie.

A man and his ostrich

A man and his ostrich

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. 
The waitress asks them for their orders. 
The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" 
"I'll have the same," says the ostrich. 

A short time later the waitress returns with the order.  "That will be $9.40 please."  The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. 
The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke.." 
The ostrich says, "I'll have the same.." 

Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. 
This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual? asks the waitress. 
"No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and a salad," says the man. 

"Same," says the ostrich. 
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be $32.62." 

Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table. 

The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer.  "Excuse me, sir.  How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?" 

"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp.  When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.   My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there." 

"That's  brilliant!" says the waitress.  "Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!" 

"That's right.  Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," says the man..

The waitress asks, "What's with the ostrich?" 

The man sighs, pauses and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say......."

“What's wrong with you mate, haven't you ever seen a naked white woman before?”

“I'll not be staring at you lady, I am telling you that would not be proper where I am coming from".

"Well if you're not bloody staring at me mate, what are you doing then?"

"Well, I am telling you, I am thinking to myself where is this lady keeping the money to be paying me with?

The doctor replies" Ma'am, you had twins - a boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them. The woman thinks to herself, "Oh no! Not Sipho; He's an idiot!" Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor "Well what's the girl's name?" "Denise," the doctor answers.

SICK LEAVE

SICK LEAVE

I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would

Not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted 'CRAZY'

Then he would tell me to take a few days off.
So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker Sipho) asked me what I was doing. I told him that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was 'CRAZY' and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked 'What are you are doing?' I told him I was a light bulb.

He said, 'You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days.' I jumped down and walked out of the office...

When my co-worker (Sipho) followed me, the Boss asked him '...And where do you think you're going?'

(You're gonna love this.....)

He said, 'I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark.'
