2nd - Tony Crafter with:
Brady the Irishman was walking home late at night when he saw a woman standing in the shadows.

'Twenty pounds for a good time,” she whispered as he went by.

Brady had never been with a prostitute before, but decided, 'Hmm... what da hell, it's only twenty pounds.'

So he handed her the cash and they went behind the bushes.

They had been hard at it for a couple of minutes when suddenly a bright light flashed down at them.

It was a police officer.

'Excuse me, what's going on down there?' asked the officer.

'Oi'm making love to me wife,' the Irishman answered sounding somewhat vexed.

'Huh? Oh, I'm sorry,' said the cop, 'I didn't realise that.'

'Well, neither did I,' said Brady, 'until ya shone that feckin light in her face!'

=

A woman was sure her husband was cheating on her by having an affair with Lola, the maid.

So she set a trap.

One Friday she sent the maid home for the weekend without telling her husband.

Later, when they went to bed, the husband gave his usual meek excuse: "Sorry, dear, my stomach aches," he said, and went into the bathroom.

The wife promptly ran off down the corridor, slipped into the maid's bed and switched the light off. When he came in, he wasted no time or words but silently began having his wicked way with her.

When he'd finished and was still panting, the wife said loudly:

'Okay! I bet you didn't expect to find me in this bed, did you?'

Then she switched on the light.

'Gee, no ma'am!' said the gardener.

3rd - Ellie Dent with:

The authorities were leading a priest, an incorrigible old drunkard and an able engineer to the guillotine. They asked the priest if he wanted to face up or down when he meets his sorry fate.

The churchman said he'd like to face up so that he'll be looking up to heaven when he dies. So, they raise the blade of the guillotine, release it and that grim thing speeds down, but stops staggeringly inches, just a bit from the priest's neck.

The authorities decide it is divine intervention and they now release the worshipful Father.
=

Then the drunkard comes to the guillotine. He too opts to die face up thinking, hoping, he will be as fortunate and as favoured as the priest. They raise the blade, release it and it comes down rapidly, stopping indeed at a point just a very few inches from his neck.

So the authorities release the grateful drunkard.

Then it is the engineer's turn. He also decides to die facing heavenward. They slowly raise the blade of the guillotine when the engineer shouts, 'WAIT!!!...

I think the problem is right there where the cable is binding!!!'
