All the typical answers came out, Fireman, Policeman, Salesman, Chippy, Captain of Industry etc, but Eddie was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.

On a tour of New Zealand, the Pope took a couple of days off his itinerary to visit the north coast on an impromptu sightseeing trip.
His 4X4 Popemobile was driving along the golden sands when there was an enormous commotion heard just off the headland. They rushed to see what it was and upon approaching the scene the Pope noticed just outside the surf, Wayne Barnes struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a twenty-foot shark.
At that moment a speedboat containing Graham Henry, Richie McCaw and Anton Oliver roared into view from around the point. Spontaneously, Richie McCaw took aim and fired a harpoon into the shark’s ribs, immobilising it instantly.
The other two reached out and pulled Wayne Barnes from the water and then, using long clubs, beat the shark to death.
They bundled the bleeding, semi-conscious Wayne into the speedboat along with the dead shark and then prepared for a hasty retreat, when they heard frantic shouting from the shore. It was of course the Pope, and he summoned them to the beach.
Upon them reaching the shore the Pope went into raptures about the rescue and said, “I give you my blessing for your brave actions. I had heard that there were some hooligan elements and vindictive people upset by the result of the match but, now I have seen with my own eyes this is not true. I can see that you are truly enlightened examples of cultural harmony and could serve as a model which other peoples could follow.â€
He blessed them all and drove off in a cloud of dust.
As he departed, Graham Henry asked the others, “Who was that?â€
“That,†Anton Oliver answered, “was his Holiness the Pope. He is in direct contact with God and has access to all God’s wisdom.â€
“Well,†Richie McCaw replied, “he knows nothing about shark hunting. How’s that bait holding up?â€

The second surgeon says, “Nah, librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.â€
The third surgeon says, “Try electricians. Everything inside them is colour-coded.â€
The fourth one says, “I prefer New Zealand Rugby players. They’re heartless, spineless, gutless and their heads and bums are interchangeable.â€
A man meets a friend and sees that his friend’s car is a total write-off and covered with leaves, grass, branches, dirt and blood.
He asks his friend “What’s happened to your car?â€
“Well,†the friend responds, “I ran over Wayne Barnesâ€.
“OK,†says the man, “that explains the blood… But what about the leaves, the grass, the branches and the dirt ?â€
“Well, he tried to escape through the park.”
Graham Henry asked Bernard Laporte after the quarter-final—â€Bernie, I thought I had the journey planned, how did you beat me?â€
“Pretty simple,†replied Laporte, “I picked my players for their intelligence and asked them just one question.â€
“That simple?†said Henry. “Yep,â€replied Laporte, “pick one of my squad and see how he does.â€
Henry thought for a while then nominated Freddie Michalak. Laporte called him over and asked him, “Who is the child of your father and of your mother who is not your brother and is not your sister?†“Ah simple, Bernie,†says Freddie, “it’s me.â€
“Well done, Freddie,†said Laporte, and Henry was very impressed. He returned to the hotel and wondered about the intelligence of his team. He called in Richie McCaw and asked him, “Who is the child of your father and of your mother who is not your brother and is not your sister?â€
Richie thought and thought and couldn’t come up with the answer. “Can I think about it a bit more, Coach?—I’ll give you an answer tomorrow.â€
“Of course,†said Henry, “you’ve got 24 hours. But it is very important that you come up with the answer.â€
Richie went away, thinking as hard as he could, and then he called in his team-mates. Mils Muliana thought it might be his grandpa but wasn’t sure. Aaron Mauger was certain that it couldn’t be anyone. Ali Williams refused to answer in case he was sacked for not knowing.
Joe Rococoko thought it would be an uncle in Fiji who had been adopted as a child. Leon McDonald went into the foetal position. The rest of the team wouldn’t even hazard a guess. Twenty hours later, Richie was very worried that he still had no answer with only four hours to go. Eventually McCaw thought, “I know, I’ll ring Andrew Mehrtens—he’s bloody smart, he’ll know the answer.â€
He phoned Mehrtens. “Merts, tell me—who is the child of your father and of your mother who is not your brother and is not your sister?â€
“Very simple,†said Mehrtens, “It’s me.â€
“Of course,†said Richie and rang Henry. “Coach, I’ve got the answer—it’s Mehrtens!â€
“No, you idiot,†said Henry, “It’s Freddie Michalak.â€
Some All Black supporters die, and as expected they go to hell. The devil notices that they’re quite happy, and asks them why.
They explain “After the lousy weather in New Zealand, we actually enjoy the warmth.â€
The devil thinks “I’ll fix them†and turns up the heat. He finds the Kiwis with their shirts off enjoying a chop on the barbie and having a frostie.
“Whenever the weather gets this good in New Zealand, we can’t waste it, so this is what we doâ€
The devil decides to wipe the smile off their faces by turning the heat down to freezing. He returns to the Kiwis to find them celebrating.
“What now?†he asks.
One explains “Well, when hell freezes over, we’re sure to win the Rugby World Cupâ€

“In our country, true teams rarely exist . . . social barriers and personal ambitions have reduced athletes to dissolute cliques or individuals thrown together for mutual profit . . . Yet these rugby players with their muddied, cracked bodies, are struggling to hold onto a sense of humanity that we in America have lost and are unlikely to regain. The game may only be to move a ball forward on a dirt field, but the task can be accomplished with an unshackled joy and its memories will be a permanent delight.

“Rugby football is a game I can’t claim absolutely to understand in all its niceties, if you know what I mean. I can follow the broad, general principles, of course. I mean to say, I know that the main scheme is to work the ball down the field somehow and deposit it over the line at the other end and that, in order to squalch this programme, each side is allowed to put in a certain amount of assault and battery and do things to its fellow man which, if done elsewhere, would result in 14 days without the option, coupled with some strong remarks from the Bench.†– P.

“Hey doc, I dun’t feel so good, ey” said Wiremu.
The doctor gave him a thorough examination and informed Wiremu that he had long existing and advanced prostate problems and that the only cure was testicular removal.
