morning Darren.

Good joke? dunno about that, but this made me laugh

Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Tokyo and the place is absolutely

packed to the rafters. In a bid to break the ice with his new audience, He

asks if anyone would like him to play a request. A little old Japanese man

jumps out of his seat in the first row and shouts at the top of his voice

"Play a Jazz chord! Play a jazz chord!" Amazed that this guy knows about the

jazz influences in Stevie's varied career, the blind impresario starts to

play an E minor scale and then goes into a difficult jazz melody for about

10 minutes. When he finishes the whole place goes wild.

The little old man jumps up again and shouts "No, no, play a Jazz chord,

play a Jazz chord." A bit irritated by this, Stevie, being the professional

that he is, dives straight into a jazz improvisation with his band around

the B flat minor chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd goes wild

with this impromptu show of his technical expertise.

The little old man jumps up again. "No, no. Play a Jazz chord, play a jazz

chord!" Well now truly irritated that this little guy doesn't seem to

The Gynaecologist Who Wanted to be a Mechanic!

A gynaecologist had become fed up with the cost of malpractice insurance, NHS paperwork and was burned out.

Hoping to try another career where skilful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.

He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.

When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynaecologist prepared carefully for weeks and completed the exam with tremendous skill.

When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%.

Fearing an error, he called the instructor, saying, "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade."

The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark.

"You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark."

After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the exhaust, which I've never seen done in my entire career
