UK RAISES ALERT LEVEL 
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent Russian threats and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. The Russians have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s Get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

The Hypnotist at a Senior  Center

It was entertainment night at the senior  citizens' center.

After the community sing a inlong led by  Alice at the piano, it was time for the star of the show- Claude  the Hypnotist!

Claude explained that he was going to 
put  the whole audience into a trance.

"Yes, each and every  one of you 
and  all at the same time." said Claude.

The excited chatter  dropped to silence as Claude carefully withdrew from his  waistcoat pocket; a beautiful antique gold pocket watch and  chain.

"I want you to keep your eyes on this watch" said  Claude, holding the watch high for all to see.

"It is a very special and valuable watch  that has been in my family for six
generations"  said Claude.

He began to swing the watch gently back and  forth while quietly chanting

"Watch the watch --- Watch  the watch --- 
Watch  the watch"

The audience became mesmerized as the watch  swayed 
back  and forth.

The lights were twinkling as they were  reflected from 
its  gleaming surfaces.

A hundred and fifty pairs of eyes  followed the 
movements  of the gently swaying watch.

They were  hypnotized.

And then, suddenly, the chain  broke!!!

The beautiful watch fell to the stage and burst  into pieces upon  
impact.

"SHIT"  shouted Claude.

It took them three days to clean the  Senior Citizens' Center and Claude was never invited there  again.
