Teen saves his saviour 

A US teenager who saved the life of a 'stranger' was shocked to find it was a nurse who did the same for him in 1999.

Kevin Stephan, 17, of Buffalo, New York state, rushed to perform the Heimlich manoeuvre when he saw Penny Brown choking on her lunch.

He did not recognise Ms Brown as the off duty nurse who got his heart beating again after a bat hit him in the chest during a baseball game, reports the Buffalo News.

But Kevin's mother, who was in the restaurant where Kevin performed his good deed, knew exactly who it was.

"Oh, my goodness," Lorraine Stephan told her. "You saved my son's life seven years ago, and now he's saved yours."

Kevin added: "Wow. I couldn't believe it! Everyone I have told is like: "No way." They're in total disbelief.

"It's one of those things you can't explain. It was meant to happen. I'm Catholic, and I believe the Lord kind of set things up. They say things happen for a reason, and nothing is a coincidence."

Brown, an intensive-care nurse at Buffalo General Hospital, said she can't think too long about the two incidents "without being freaked" by it.

"It's almost impossible to believe, but I'm very appreciative of what occurred," she said. "One good turn deserves another."

Mum and daughter compete for Miss GB 

Cressida Grant has a close rival in her bid to be crowned Miss Great Britain - her 40-year-old mum Philippa.



But the pair, the first ever mother and daughter to compete in the same major beauty pageant, insist they won't be falling out.

A-level student Cressida , 17, who entered first said: "I saw it on the internet. I noticed there were no age limits so I told mum she should enter too."

"Mum is drop-dead gorgeous and turns heads wherever she goes. I really want to do well but I just suspect mum might get that little bit further."

Sales manager and former model Philippa, from Putney, said: "I'm not sure how either of us will do but we will both be rooting for each other.

"Hopefully at some point we will be standing on the same stage together. It's not going to cause any rivalry, it will be fun."

Miss Great Britain was relaunched by fashion entrepreneur Robert de Keyser this year without any age limit.

The Bacon Tree 

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert, wandering aimlessly and close to death.
They are close to just lying down and waiting for the inevitable, when all of a sudden…
"Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I is sure of eet".
"Si, Luis, eet smells like bacon to meee".
So, with renewed strength, they struggle off up the next sand dune, and there, in the distance, is a tree, just loaded with bacon.
There's raw bacon, dripping with moisture, there's fried bacon, backbacon, double smoked bacon…every imaginable kind of cured pig meat you can imagine!!
"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Eees a bacon tree".
"Luis, are sure ees not a meerage? We ees in the desert, don' forget".
"Pepe, when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell of bacon…ees nomeerage, ees a bacon tree".
And with that…Luis races towards the tree. He gets to within 5 feet, with
Pepe following closely behind, when all of a sudden, a machine gun opens fire, and Luis is cut down is his tracks.
It is clear he is mortally wounded but, true friend that he is, he manages to warn Pepe with his dying breath.
"Pepe…go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree"
"Luis, Luis mi amigo…what ees eet?"
"Pepe…ees not a bacon tree…. Ees, a Ham Bush"

Surprises 

One evening, after work, a man stopped by his local bar for a beer. He struck up a conversation with a woman sitting on the stool next to him. The attraction was mutual, which led to dinner, and continued into an invitation for a nightcap. This in turn led to a night long session of lovemaking. The next morning he noticed a photo of another man on her nightstand by the bed. Panic set in, and he began to get worried.
"Is this your husband?" he nervously asked.
"No, silly!," she replied, snuggling up to him.
"Your boyfriend, then?" he continued
."No, nothing like that!" she said, nibbling away at his ear.
"Is it your dad or your brother?" he inquired, hopefully.
"No, no, no!!!" she answered.
"Well, who in the hell is he, then?" he demanded.
" That's me, before the operation", she replied.

IQ Test 

Here's a one question IQ Test to help you decide how you should spend the rest of your day.

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to theshopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?
Think about it first before scrolling down for the answer.....................................................













He opens his mouth and says."I would like to buy a pair of sunglasses".

If you got this wrong , spend the rest of your day getting drunk to help cope with your obvious stupidity.
