35 thats what she said jokes to raise a smile

09/10/2025 by

Today, I thought it might be amusing to explore some Thats What She Said jokes.

This form of humour revolves around innuendo and double entendre.

Yes, it’s a bit silly and suggestive, but it’s innocent and fun too, as it reflects the nature of human interaction and the way we find humour in the absurd. And, let’s face it, much of what passes for physical interaction between people can seem a little absurd when you think about it.

As with all humour, appropriateness and effectiveness depend largely on the audience and the context. So, I hope my audience today will appreciate this form of humour.

If, for some reason, this humour is not for you, then I’ll try to offer you something more appropriate next time around.

In the meantime, for those who enjoy innuendo and double entendre, here are 35 Thats What She Said Jokes to brighten your day.

25 amusing quotes about getting old to tickle you

25 AMUSING QUOTES ABOUT GETTING OLD TO TICKLE YOU

Today I’ve curated some amusing quotes about getting old.

There are worse things than getting old. Not getting old, just being one of them. Nevertheless, being old is a tough gig. Like an old car, everything starts to wear out, and it all seems to happen at once. That’s life, unfortunately, and we have to get used to it.

The trick is to remain stupid and cheerful, and that way you’ll experience less stress. You can try smart and angry if you prefer, but I think you’ll find it doesn’t help improve anything.

One great way to remain cheerful is to read something amusing each day.

Which is why, today, I am offering you 25 amusing quotes about getting old to make you smile. Indeed, they all made me smile.

If you’re old, I’m sure some of them will resonate with you. If you’re not old, then enjoy your youth while you can. The years will pass in the blink of an eye.

Whatever your age, remember, you’ll never be as young again as you are today. And you’ll never have today again, either. So, you might as well enjoy it.

15 amusing quotes by Spike Milligan to raise a smile

09/09/2025 by

I love to read amusing quotes by Spike Milligan. He was undoubtedly a man with a funny bone.

In case you’re not familiar with his name, Spike Milligan was a funny, irreverent, and much-loved comedian and staple of British television and radio for many years in the post-war era, right up until he died in 2002.

Terence Alan Milligan was born in India; he was the son of a British Army captain of Irish descent and an English mother.

In addition to being a wonderful comic performer, probably best known for his work with the Goon Show, he was also a successful writer, poet, playwright, and actor.

Though he spent much of his early life in India, the majority of his adult life was spent in the United Kingdom.

However, when the Commonwealth Immigrants Act removed Indian-born Milligan’s automatic right to British citizenship in 1962, despite his service in the British Army and his father’s, he became an Irish citizen, exercising a right conferred through his Irish-born father.

I think he was a genuinely funny man, and to prove it, here are 15 of his razor-sharp quips. Enjoy them all.

Make Money

Quotes by Spike Milligan:

  1. All men are cremated equal. ~Spike Milligan
  2. All I ask is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy. ~Spike Milligan
  3. I thought I’d begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine. ~Spike Milligan
  4. Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs? ~Spike Milligan
  5. Money couldn’t buy friends, but you get a better class of enemy. ~Spike Milligan
  6. I’m a hero with coward’s legs. ~Spike Milligan
  7. How long was I in the army? Five-foot eleven. ~Spike Milligan
  8. I turned and rubbed my hands with glee. I always keep a tin of glee handy. ~Spike Milligan
  9. I’m not afraid of dying, I just don’t want to be there when it happens. ~Spike Milligan
  10. Contraceptives should be used on every conceivable occasion. ~Spike Milligan
  11. Life is a long agonized illness only curable by death. ~Spike Milligan
  12. I can speak Esperanto like a native. ~Spike Milligan
  13. A bird in The Strand is worth two in Shepherd’s Bush. ~Spike Milligan
  14. A family man from Siberia; As a father was very inferior; But one operation; Revised the situation; And now he’s Mother Superior. ~Spike Milligan
  15. And God said, ‘Let there be light’ and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected. ~Spike Milligan

The debate about identity politics and how we get beyond it

09/09/2025 by

The debate about identity politics has dominated much of the news for quite some time now. Surely we must find a way to get beyond it? In that, I refer to getting beyond the problems associated with identity, rather than the debate itself.

We’re all human beings first:

Whether we think of ourselves as Black, White, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or some other form of ethnic or religious identity, in reality, we’re all just members of the human race, surely?

In my opinion, we’re human beings first and other forms of identity second. We’re all just people.

Identity Politics
Make Money

We all want the same things:

As people, we all want the same things if you think about it.

Ideally, we all want a peaceful, prosperous life and a better world for our children.

We want a roof over our heads and the ability to put bread and food on the table.

Equally, we all want to feel secure.

We all want our lives to have a sense of purpose and a reason for us to get out of bed each day.

And, of course, we all want to enjoy some leisure time with family and friends occasionally.

Life’s too short:

Life’s too short to worry about anything else, surely?

As human beings, we have much more in common than we’re often able or willing to recognise, and those things that apparently separate us are often more imagined than real. Well, I think so anyway.

In my experience, there are good people everywhere you go in this world.

And yet, as human beings, we often fear people simply because they are not a reflection of ourselves.

We fear what we don’t understand.

If only we could see others as human beings first. They’re people just like us, with hopes, dreams, and a desire to be loved, accepted, and respected by others.

Respect people and get to know them:

If only we could treat people with respect, regardless of whatever sense of identity they present to the world. If only we could respect others just for being themselves.

I’ve been fortunate enough to live and work in many parts of the world, and I’ve learned that if you make the effort to get to know people, whoever they are, you begin to see them differently, regardless of their origin, ethnicity, or creed.

If you try to understand them and their lives, suddenly you realise that they’re actually just like you, or not so very different at least.

Wherever you go, people are just people. We laugh, we cry, we eat, we sleep, and we all have to go to the bathroom occasionally.

Yes, there are a few bad ones, of course, but most people are honest and decent, and if you treat them with respect, you will get their respect in return. In my experience, wherever you go, people want to be treated fairly.

Identity Politics
Make Money

Avoid making assumptions about people:

When you meet people from a culture that is different from your own, it’s easy to make assumptions about them. However, how can you be sure you’re right unless you get to know them?

Judging is easy, but it’s hard to know what someone else’s life is really like. Unless you’ve actually walked a mile in their shoes, you couldn’t possibly know what their life is really like or what challenges they face daily.

So you can’t judge anyone unless you make the effort to get to know them.

And for me, that’s the underlying problem for all humanity.

We judge people first without making the effort to get to know them. We make assumptions and judge on perceived stereotypes rather than treating people as individuals.

For instance, it would be easy to assume that all Muslims have the same extreme views as those fundamentalists making media headlines fighting for the establishment of the so-called Islamic State or ISIS.

I have lived and worked in the Middle East for many years, and I know that this is not true. Some of the finest people I’ve ever met are Muslims.

I have many Muslim friends for whom I have the greatest respect. I’ve also known many Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and more for whom I could make a similar comment.

Seek first to understand:

I’ve learned to treat people as I find them and not as others tell me I should find them.

I concern myself only with the content of their character. I try to treat others with respect, and I find that generally if I do, I get their respect in return.

If only we could all treat others in the way that we’d prefer them to treat us, then I think the world would be a better place. And surely our aim should be to make this world a better place?

In the words of Stephen R. Covey, we must:

Seek first to understand and then to be understood.

Identity politics:

Identity politics has the potential to divide us all in a way that could be detrimental to everyone, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We can get along with each other if we respect people for who they are and what they are and judge them only by the content of their character.

Look beyond obvious differences to the person within. It’s what’s on the inside of people that matters most. Well, that’s my opinion, dear reader.

15 inspirational quotes on things that really matter

09/08/2025 by

Today, I thought it might be interesting to explore some inspirational quotes on things that really matter.

When our lives are busy, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters.

We sometimes get absorbed in things that we think matter, but eventually, we realise that they don’t.

In my opinion, the thing that matters most in life is people. And by people, I mean family and friends.

Human beings are social animals, and we need other people. Without family and friends, we have nothing.

Well, that’s what I think, but what do others think?

Here are 15 great quotes that will get you thinking about what matters. I’m confident you will appreciate them, dear reader.

Public Speaking The Power of the Pause

Public Speaking The Power of the Pause

Today, I offer you a tip for public speaking the power of the pause. This is a great tip from Brian Tracy.

If you aim to be successful, then mastering the art of public speaking is an essential skill you must develop.

If you’re a successful, high-profile individual, you can’t avoid speaking in public, at least occasionally. However much you might try to resist it, I’m afraid it’s like trying to hold back the tide. It can’t be done.

However, I recognize that public speaking can be a bit daunting even for people who are otherwise quite confident.

So if you lack confidence in this area, then don’t worry. You’re not alone, I promise you. Most people feel just like you do when they find themselves standing in front of a crowd, faced with the expectation that they’ll be able to say something meaningful and present it interestingly and engagingly, too.

The key to being interesting is developing your public speaking technique. The more you practice and build your technique, the more confident you’ll feel when you step up to the lectern.

One way to improve your public speaking technique is to learn from some of the best speakers and copy what they do. And Brian Tracy is an excellent speaker worthy of study. Personally, I find him both interesting and inspiring.

So if Brian has something to say, then listening to him is worthy of your time, I believe.

In the short but excellent video embedded with this post, Brian Tracy offers some helpful advice on the subject of public speaking. In particular, using the power of a pause to emphasize or reinforce a point being made.

An important element of public speaking is making sure that the underlying messages resonate with your audience. If they take away three or four powerful messages, then you’ll have done your job and done it well.

If you want to improve your public speaking skills, I recommend you watch this video.

You’ll learn some helpful tips, as well as one of the little-known secrets used by top public speakers.

Once again, I must say, Brian’s short video is well worth a few minutes of your time.
