2014 Chevy Commercial - Maddie

A girl and her dog take a look backward at the life 

they’ve shared growing up together.

 You may want to get a hankie before you watch.

Yes, believe it or not, it’s a car ad.

 It should send you right out to buy a car or adopt a dog from the local shelter.

Dog and Cat

A duck was walking along a stream in Australia 

when he happened upon a platypus standing on the bank. 

The platypus was t holding a sign that read: 

"Homeless. Out of work. 

Please help."

The duck offered to help the platypus 

but not through a simple grant by donation. 

He said he would help the platypus find employment.

 But in the interim he would also loan him 

the money necessary to get on with his life.

 They shook hands to seal the deal 

and each went their separate ways.

Speaking in his simple language,

 he told his wife that evening of what he had done.

 "Duck help out platypus today," he said.

 "Duck feel good. 

Economy get better. Everyone happy."

His wife looked at him somewhat askance 

as she continued to prepare food for the evening's meal.

"What's the matter?" The duck asked

She turned to face him. 

"And what do you plan to do when the platypus

 fails to pay you back?"

"It pretty simple," he replied.

 "Duck bill platypus."

Round up your mates for a GUINNESS on St Patrick's Day

O'Malley proposed to his girl on St. Patrick's Day.

 Getting down on one knee, he asked, 

"Will you marry me?" He held out a ring.

 "Yes!" she said, excitedly.

 He put the ring on her finger.

 They embraced.

 That night she visited her father

. "Daddy, look! O'Malley proposed to me," she said,

 holding out her hand to display the ring. 

The father took one look at it.

 "That's not a real diamond," he pointed out.

 "That's a synthetic cubit zirconium."

 She sought out O'Malley the next day.

 "This diamond isn't real!" she protested.

 "Daddy looked at it and said it was fake!"

 "That's right," O'Malley replied

. "It's in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

 It's a sham rock!"

The Centre for Disease Control looked more like a tumor 

on the landscape than the architectural and scientific marvel it really was. 

The vast complex had spread unchecked over the years

 to the point where it threatened to devour its neighbours.

Inside, white-robed scientific types squinted into microscopes,

 sat hunched over rectangles of stained glass the size 

of a Tahitian postage stamp and

 squirted colored liquids into test tubes.

They were searching for a mysterious virus 

which had appeared just weeks before 

and was responsible for an outbreak of tiny, running sores

 that had broken out on the lips of everybody 

who had eaten at Norway Knute's Diner on the evening of June 5th.

 At first, it was thought to be a form of food poisoning, 

but closer examination revealed that an unidentified virus

 was responsible for those sore lips.

For his part, Knute was extremely upset

 that his well-respected establishment

 would be associated with this type of thing.

 It was not the kind of advertising he had in mind.

After some preliminary investigation, 

it was determined that the virus appeared to be a mutated 

form of the dreaded Disgusticus Lipposaurus B virus 

which had been responsible for wiping out

 an entire Japanese village in 1983.

 They were working around the clock to try to check

 the spread of this highly contagious mutant.

Six weeks after the initial outbreak,

 one of the researchers just happened to notice 

that the mutations of the HLB, 

or ''Diner'' Virus as they called it,

 were slowing down and a definite pattern was emerging.

 From there, it became a relatively easy task to predict

 what form the virus would take next and therefore,

 to halt its progress. In short, they found a cure.

 The HLB Virus would be no more.

In recognition of her discovery, t

he young researcher was presented

 with a number of awards and prizes,

 was written up in all the better scientific journals 

and spent the better part of a year on the talk show circuit

 describing her role in the extinction of the 

Diner Sores.

When the beloved 12th Century bell

 in the Mantz City Hall tower cracked,

 the Mayor sought far and wide for someone who could repair it

. All kinds of artisans and craftsmen looked at it and said,

 "It can't be fixed. Replace it."

But the citizens were adamant.

 "We want our bell, not a replacement," they demanded.

Three years after the bell cracked, 

an old woman knocked on the Mayor's door.

I hear you need a bell repaired," the woman said.

 "I'm sure I can repair it

. May I see it?"

The woman and the Mayor climbed up the bell tower.

 She stroked the bell, and tapped it with her knuckles.

"I can fix it, guaranteed. It will cost you 5,000 Euros."

The mayor agreed, 

and the woman went to work. 

Twenty days and twenty nights later, 

the bell was repaired, and its sound rang joyously over the town.

The Mayor handed the woman her check.

 "How can I thank you?" he asked.

The woman grinned.

 "Just nominate me for the Know Bell Prize!"
