Note From The Editor.

Well here we are, well into the sunshine and high living on the Costa Blanca with one dark cloud looming over the horizon. ‘My god they are going to charge for The Smuggler!’. Well let me explain the reasons behind the move and in doing so clear away the dark cloud.

At present The Smuggler is a great success and has become a victim of its own popularity. Paul and myself started the magazine in order to bring a touch of humour into our and your lives. However the distribution of the magazine has encountered problems with people taking more than one copy, sometimes as many as four, when challenged they say they are for family and friends all across the globe, but that is restricting the readership on the Costa Blanca, where the advertisements and the people who provide the funding for the Magazine are targeting. By charging the sum of €1 for the Magazine then people will value the Magazine more (i.e. read it then pass it on to friends and family) with the funds raised used to increase the circulation and availability. (A win-win situation) Those that have subscribed to the magazine and now enjoy home delivery, will not be charged for the magazine during the remainder of their contract. Future direct deliveries will be charged at €0.5 plus postage, administration & IVA. Six months delivery within Spain will cost €23.00.

The charge will come into effect on the September Issue, please stick with us and we promise you we will maintain the humorous standards we have set ourselves.

Your comments and ‘suggestions’ will be gratefully received. Send them to editor@thesmuggler.es.

German guy approaches a prostitute and says, " I vish to buy sex vit you" "OK" says the girl, "I'll charge 100 Euros an hour" "Ist goot, But I must varn you, I am a little kinky" "No problem" she replies cautiously, "I can do a little kinky" So off they go to the girl's flat, where the German produces four large bedsprings and a duck caller.

"I vant you to tie ze springs to your handz und kneez." The girl finds this very strange, but complies, fastening the springs to her hands and knees. "Now pleez you vill get on your handz and kneez." She duly does this, balancing on the springs. "You vill please blow zis duck caller as I make love to you."

She finds all this very odd, but figures it"s harmless, and the guy is paying.

The sex is fantastic. The energetic German bounces her all over the room, all the time honking on the duck caller. The climax is the most sensational she has ever experienced, and it is several minutes before she has recovered her breath. Finally she gasps "That was totally amazing....... what do you Why don't blondes wear mini-skirts in San call that?"

Francisco? Because their balls hang down below "Ah", says the German, "Four-sprung duck tech- their hem-lines. nique"

A couple take on an 18 year old girl as a lodger.

She asked if she could have a bath but the woman of the house told her they didn't have a bathroom and she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.

'Mondays the best night, when my husband goes out to darts', she said, so the girl agreed to have a bath the following Monday.

After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched as the girl got undressed.

She was surprised to see that the lass didn't have any pubic hair and told her husband when he came home.

He didn't believe her so she said, 'Next week I'll leave a gap in the curtains so that you can see for yourself'.

The following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked, 'Do you shave?'

'No', replied the girl. 'I've just never grown any hairs down there. Do you have hairs?'

'Oh yes', said the woman and she showed off her great, hairy muff.

When the husband got back in she asked, 'Did you see it?'

'Yes', he said. 'But why the hell did you have to show her yours?'

'Why not?' she said. 'You've seen it all before.'

'I know', he said, 'but the fucking darts team hadn't'!

A doctor in Dublin wanted to get off work and go fishing, so he approached his

assistant.

'Murphy, I am going hunting tomorrow and don't want to close the clinic. I want you to take care of the clinic and take care of all me patients'. 'Yes, sir!' answers Murphy.

The doctor goes fishing and returns the following day and asks: So, Murphy, how was your day?'

Murphy told him that he took care of three patients.

'The first one had a headache so he did, so I gave him Paracetamol.' 'Bravo Murphy lad, and the second one?' asks the doctor. 'The second one had indigestion and I gave him Gaviscon, so I did sir' says Murphy.

'Bravo, bravo! You're good at this and what about the third one?' Asks the doctor.

'Sir, I was sitting here and suddenly the door flies open and a young gorgeous woman bursts in so she does. Like a bolt outta the blue, she tears off her clothes, taking off everyting including her bra and her panties and lies down on the table, spreading her legs And shouts: 'HELP ME for the love of St Patrick! For five years I have not seen any man!'' 'Tunderin' lard Jesus Murphy, what did you do?' asks the doctor. 'I put drops in her eyes.'

A little respect please!

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went unnoticed last week.

Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Kokey", died peacefully at age 93.The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.

Cyd the Cynic/Guide to Women

The as not, they are getting a posicalls, the letters, the emails, the tive response (er…again, so faxes – all asking for one thing. I’ve been told). Or, at the very “Please, Cyd!” they beg, “Tell worst, “Well, at least buy me a us what we need to know drink first, Tiger.” about women.”

But, as even the most dimSo here we are, after a lifetime witted of men quickly work spent studying, listening to, out, that technique just doesn’t thinking about and, yes, loving work on women (Essex girls them, I present ‘Cyd the excepted, of course). You Cynic’s Guide to Women’ – need a certain amount of savvy, The first thing to realise is that a certain amount of smarts, and no small amount of cash if you women are not really the opwant to play hide the salami posite sex. They are a whole other species. They don’t re- with a lady.

But before you go splashing spond to things the way we your cash around, it’s a good men do. Take courtship for idea first to make sure the example. In gay bars up and woman is at least slightly interdown the Costa Blanca men ested in you. How do you do are walking up to other men this? Look for signs!

course, make sure she isn’t looking at the bloke behind you. Other signs are: playing with her hair, licking her lips, pulling on her ear lobe and putting her hand on your leg.

So if an attractive woman starts undressing in front of you, while she’s playing with her hair, licking her lips, pulling on her ear lobe and fanning your thigh, you can be pretty sure she likes you (or you’re in a bar with bright neon signs on the N332).

I also have to mention that the following are not signs that a woman is interested in you: adjusting her underwear, scratching anyplace, licking her forearms or asking you to leave.

Another mistake to make is to try to woo a woman by becoming her friend first. Never,

ever try this. Even though you may think friendship is the best basis for a long-term relationship, the problems come when trying to convert it to something a bit steamier. “I don’t want to ruin our friendship,” she’ll balefully cry – meaning she just doesn’t find you attractive, you just don’t have enough cash to satisfy her, or you never treated her like a complete bastard.

You can respond: “We’ll always be friends. Trust me.”

Then dive in for a kiss anyway.

But she knows better. Once you’re cast as a friend, women have many ways of making a man feel like slime for even considering defiling that chaste closeness for a little sex. After all, compared to true and lasting friendship, what is sex?

It’s what you’re after, stupid!

Looking back at some of the women I was simply close friends with, I realise that those relationships probably brought out the best in me. I could be myself. I got in touch with my sensitive side. I experienced sympathetic bloating. I also wish I’d tried to bang them.

Each and every one. I can’t help it! I’m a man!

What women want is for a man to be a man. Assertiveness, decision-making, protectiveness, nurturing. Try to give the impression that you might stand up for her and take care of her. Please be aware that ‘might’ is the operative word.

No point getting shit kicked for

a double bagger*. I actually stood in front of my wife during a bar fight once. I responded so quickly that I didn’t even think about it first. The result was that I made her feel secure and important, which in turn made her want me. And her wanting me made me feel secure and important.

And that made me want me.

That’s where it got a little confusing.

Another thing to remember is that men and women do not share the same sense of humour. This was brought home to me by an incident involving a female accountant at the last publisher I worked for. This accountant was in charge of paying employee expenses, and as such I was advised to become friends with her, as she would prepare cheques for her friends first. ‘But how do you become friends with a woman?’ I thought. Foolishly, I decided to treat her like I would treat a male colleague. I decided some gently ribbing was called for.

The young lady was of Italian decent, and as such had a little bit of hair on her top lip. In front of the other five women who worked in her office I called 7

her Tom Selleck. For some reason she took umbrage.

A final tip is how to answer the worst question a woman can ask a man: “How do I look in this?” Firstly, let me state categorically that any answer is wrong, especially no answer. It is also unwise to run. I would like to share a technique I have developed over years of trial and error. Before answering, tilt your head slightly to one side, take a deep breath in through your nose, and as you

let it out, let a sigh slowly transform into a warm smile.

The results are amazing, and often overshadow any words you might mumble. Be sure to practice this in the mirror.

Avoid the classic quizzical doghead tilt at all cost. *A double bagger is a woman who is not too well endowed in the looks department.

Two little girls were in the luncheon room of a Beveley Hills elementary school.

“Guess what?” said the first girl. “My mummy’s getting married again, so I’m going to have a new daddy,” “Who’s she marrying?” asked the second girls.

“Carl Wilkinson,” said the first girl. “He’s a famous Hollywood actor.”

“Oh, you’ll like him,” said second girl. “He was my daddy last year!”

Tame Alligator A bloke walks into a bar with an alligator.

He walks up to the bar and says "I would like a beer thanks."

The Bar man says "Sorry mate you can't have that alligator in here."

The man says "No it's tame I can prove it to you."

So the man throws an ashtray at it's head, and the alligator just shrugs it off.

The bar man says "No I'm still not convinced."

So the guy puts his dick in the alligator’s mouth and throws an ashtray at his head and the alligator still does nothing.

The bar man looks real impressed so the man says "Would anyone else like a go?"

An old lady in the back corner says "Yeah I would, but could you please not throw an ashtray at my head."

"Three quid." replied the salesperson.

"Three quid for a jumper for a chicken excellent." said Paddy.

So away he went as To: All Staff happy as Larry.

Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a bonnie wee lass.

"No, no, don't be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern, lad...It seems there's yet another one besides!" cried the doctor.

Then Ian scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor: "Do ye think it's the light that's attractin' them?"

A man had just been laid off from work. He was standing Paddy was walking In the back woods of on the railing of a high bridge through a town one day when Scotland, Ian's wife went into getting ready to jump off, when he say a shop with a notice in labour in the middle of the he happened to look down and the window.

"Dancing? I'm not dancing!" the armless man replied bitterly ...

"My asshole itches, and I can't scratch it!"

A man entered the bus with both of his front pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful (you guessed it) blonde. The puzzled blonde kept looking at him and his bulging pockets. Finally, after many such glances from her, he said, 'Its golf balls'.

Nevertheless, the blonde continued to look at him for a very long time, deeply thinking about what he had said.

After several minutes, not being able to contain her curiosity any longer, she asked 'Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?'

A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her five-year-old son playing with his new electric train set in the living room.

She heard the train stop and her son saying, 'All of You B*****ds who want off, get the f**k off now, cause we're in a hurry! And all of you B*****ds who are getting on, get the f**k on, cause we're going down the tracks'.

The horrified mother went in and told her son, 'We don't Use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want You to Use nice language.' Two hours later, the son came out

of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, 'All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for travelling with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one.'

She hears the little boy continue, 'For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us Today.'

As the mother began to smile, the child added..........

'For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat bitch in the kitchen.'

A wealthy hospital benefactor was being shown around the hospital when, during her tour, she passed a room where a male patient was masturbating furiously. "Oh my GOD!!" screamed the woman, "That's disgraceful!!! Why is he doing that?" The doctor who was leading the tour calmly explained, "I'm very sorry that you were exposed to that, but this man has a serious condition where his testicles rapidly fill with semen, and if he doesn't do that at least 5 times a day, he'll be in extreme pain and his testicles could easily rupture".

Oh well, in that case, I guess it's ok." commented the woman.

12

In the very next room, a male patient was lying in bed and it was obvious that a nurse was performing oral sex on him.

Again, the woman screamed, "Oh my GOD!! How can THAT be justified?"

Again the doctor spoke very calmly, "Same illness but he's with Bupa".

A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work.

Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in the bedroom cupboard to watch.

The woman's husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the cupboard,! Not realising that the little boy is in there already.

The little boy says, 'Dark in here.'

The man says, 'Yes, it is.'

Boy - 'I have a football.'

Man - 'That's nice.'

Boy - 'Want to buy it?'

Man - 'No, thanks.'

Boy - 'My dad's outside.'

Man - 'OK, how much?'

Boy - 'ÂŁ250' In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the cupboard together.

Boy - 'Dark in here.' man - 'Yes, it is.'

Boy - 'I have football boots.'

The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, 'How much?'

Boy - 'ÂŁ750' man - 'Sold.'

A few days later, the boys' father says to the boy, 'Grab your boots and football, let's go

13

outside and have a game of soccer.

The boy says, 'I can't, I sold my ball and boots.'

The father asks, 'How much did you sell them for?'

Boy -'ÂŁ1,000.'

The father says, 'That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that.

That is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess.'

They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.

The boy says, 'Dark in here.'

The priest says, 'Don't start that sh*t again. You're in my cupboard now'

A woman was having a asked. 'I'm investigating a compassionate affair with an inspector from a pest-control company. One afternoon they were carrying on in the bedroom together when her husband arrived home unexpectedly.

'Quick,' said the woman to the lover, 'into the closet!' and she pushed him in the closet, stark naked. The husband, however, became suspicious and after a search of the bedroom discovered the man in the closet.

'Who are you?' he asked him.

'I'm an inspector from Bugs-B-Gone,' said the exterminator.

'What are you doing in there?' the husband

14

plaint about an infestation of moths,' the man replied 'And where are your clothes?' asked the husband.

The man looked down at himself and said, 'Hungry little bastards Eh!'

A father watched his young daughter playing in the garden. He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was.

Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of nature through such innocent eyes.

Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground. He went over to her to see what work of God had captured her attention. He noticed she was looking at two Daddy longlegs' mating.

'Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?' she asked.

'They're mating,' her father replied. 'What do you call the one on top?' she asked. 'That's a Daddy Longlegs,' her father answered.

'So, the other one is a Mummy Longlegs?' the little girl asked.

As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question he replied 'No dear.

Both of them are Daddy Longlegs'.

The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment, then took her foot and stomped them flat.

'Well, we're not having any of that f**king poofter shit in our garden,' she said!

A middle-aged man began worrying about his teenage son, and what he might end up doing for a living. To satisfy himself, and test the lad he went to the boy's room and placed four things on his study table: * A Bible; * A Dollar; * A quart of whisky; * A playboy magazine.

The man thought to himself: "I'll watch from behind the door. If the boy picks up the bible, the lad will be a preacher.

If he picks up the dollar, he'll be a businessman. If he picks up the whisky, he'll end up a nogood drunk. Worst of all, if he picks up the magazine he'll be a no-good skirt-chasing wastrel!"

When the son entered the room and spotted the objects, he tossed his books on his bed, and to his father's delight picked up the bible. Then he picked up the dollar and put it in his pocket. Then, he popped the cork on the whisky and took a good slug while he admired the centrefold in the Playboy magazine.

"God almighty damn!" the old man exclaimed to himself.

"That little bastard's gonna be an Member of Parliament!"

From: Australian Court Docket, #12659---CASE OF THE PREGNANT LADY A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her.

She immediately moved to another seat. This time thesmile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed

more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested. The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. The man replied, 'Well y our Honour, it was like this, when the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said, 'The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, ' Logan 's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, 'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I could hardly contain myself. But, Your Honour, when She moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident'...

I just lost it.'

'CASE DISMISSED!'

HOW TO SAVE THE AIRLINES Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight atten18

dants with good-looking strippers! What the hell--they don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin.

And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again.

Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips.

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women.

Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record

revenues.

This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right--a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.

Why didn't Bush think of this?

Why do I still have to do everything myself?

He explained that, before you do anything too serious, there is a method that has worked for a lot of my patients.

She did this faithfully for weeks and noticed one day that they actually were getting bigger, she was very impressed.

One morning she woke up, late for work and very rushed. By the time she got on the bus she realized that she forgot to go through her routine. So standing on the bus, while rubbing her boobs she says ''Scoobie doobie doobie, give me bigger boobies''. The man standing next to her says, ''You go to Dr. Smith?'' ''Yes,'' she said, ''how did you know?'' He replies ''Hickory dickory dock!''

Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"

The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, 'Take what you want.'"

The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

An office manager was sent three secretaries, equally qualified, to fill one vacancy.

"Well," thought the manager, "I'll give them an honesty test to determine which secretary to keep."

To this end, he gave each secretary a money bag to take and bank telling them that there was $50 in the bag. (In fact, he had placed â‚Ź100 in each bag; thus the honesty test.)

The first secretary goes to the bank, discovers the extra money, banks $50 and returns the extra $50 to the manager.

The second secretary goes to the bank, discovers the extra money, banks the full $100, and returns with a deposit slip as proof.

The third secretary goes to the bank, discovers the extra money, banks $50, goes to the local TAB and uses the $50 to win $300, then returns, explains to the manager and gives him the all the money.

Question: Which secretary

"This is Capt. Johnson, we're on our final descent into Toronto. I want to thank you for flying with us today and enjoy your stay in Toronto". Well the Capt. forgets to switch off the intercom. The whole plane can now hear the conversation from the cockpit. The co-pilot says to the pilot "Well skipper, wotcha gonna do in Toronto?"

Now all ears in the plane are listening in to this conversation.

"Well", says the skipper, "First I'm gonna check into the hotel and go for a mega-huge dump.

Then I'm gonna take that new stewardess out for supper, you know, the one with the huge tits. I'm gonna wine and dine her, take her back to my room and slip the old salami to her all night".

A rather attractive woman goes up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestures alluringly to the barman who comes over immediately.

When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring his face close to hers.

When he does so, she begins to gently caress his beard which is full and bushy.

"Are you the manager?" she asks, softly stroking his face with both hands.

"Actually, no" he replies.

"Can you get him for me - I need to speak to him?" she asks, running her hands up beyond his beard and into his hair.

"I'm afraid I can't" breathes the barman - clearly aroused. "Is there anything I can do?"

"Yes there is. I need you to give him a message" she continues huskily, popping a couple of fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently. "Tell him that there is no toilet paper in the ladies room."

"Why you worthless, insufferable, wretched, no good drunk!" she screamed.

Charlton Heston: A Tribute Fans of the silver screen were stunned by the recent demise of the Hollywood legend, Charlton Heston; despite the fact that he was knocking on a bit. Few people living on the Costa Blanca, under the age of 40, will have knowledge of this star of stage and screen; therefore Royturds News Agency feels it is only right and fitting to touch-on the highlights of this grand-master of celluloid.

Charlton Heston was born Sidney Boggleswade, most probably at some time in the 20´s, in America. At aged 2, he changed his name to Stanley Bogdanovitch because the other kids use to rip the piss out of him. A short time later he moved to Heston, Michigan, and whilst watching an England football game, took a liking to midfielder Bobby Charlton, so decided to adopt the name Heston Charlton. Unfortunately, when filling in the appropriate forms, he mistakenly entered the information in the wrong columns, so had to settle for Charlton Heston as his new stage name.

His acting career began at an early age, playing the lead part in the stage musical `Annie, Go For Your Gun´; a move that started his love affair with rifles.

He starred in 123 films throughout his sparkling career, his first blockbuster being `The Ten Commandments´ (1956), where his chiselled good-looks made him the perfect choice for an American-accented

Moses. His adoring public didn’t have to wait long before he was offered the lead role in `BenHur´ (1959). This part involved a great deal of riding around in a chariot at breakneck speeds.

Though he insisted his character in the film should be allowed to carry a firearm and shoot all the baddies, he had to settle for a sword instead, as the director felt audiences, though gullible at the time, would realise that Romans hadn’t actually possessed modern day weapons.

Charlton’s´ first big break away from Biblical related films, saw him play the part of an astronaut that finds himself believably transported to a future Earth ruled by gorillas; and populated by repressed chimpanzee-type people that lacked the ability to move their lips.

Again, the powers-to-be much preferred the human to talk his way out of his predicament, whilst striking up a relationship with a female chimp. However, this time Charlton convinced them that his character should somehow come into possession of a rifle, then proceed to shoot anything that so much as resembled a monkey. Film critics heaped praise on the ending, which found the sole human kneeling on a beach, staring at a half covered `Statue of Liberty´, and melodramatically shouting `You Bastards´. This film was later re-made, starring Mark Wahlberg, but was a box-office flop. Heston put this failure down to the fact that he wasn’t offered the part, and that the films main character “didn’t 27

shoot enough furry creatures”.

The thespians´ next opportunity to further his stardom, came in the film `Omega Man´, where he played the part of the last human on Earth; due to some kind of chemical warfare.

All other survivors were nasty types that wore hooded cloaks, sunglasses, and only came out at night. Although the director preferred to make it a poignant tale of desperation, `Chuck´, as Charlton preferred to be called, insisted on being able to blow everyone away with an extensive collection of weapons. The recent re-make of the film, `I Am Legend´, starring funny man Will Smith, also involved many weapons of crass destruction. The part was to be played by Charlton Heston but, unfortunately for him, failing health caused him to start walking, ironically, like an ape; and the filmmakers felt this might detract the audiences´ attention from the complex storyline.

Though his career saw him play the parts of characters as diverse as Michelangelo, John the Baptist and El Cid, his career went into decline soon afterwards, and parts were limited to disaster movies involving earthquakes and large airliners `caught in a pickle´. His last major role was in `Wayne’s World´, though all evidence of this film was later mysteriously destroyed by an arsonist dressed in a monkey suit and riding a chariot.

Charlton spent his later years concentrating on his one true love; defending the American

peoples´ right to `bear arms´.

After several years as the President of the N.R.A. (National Rifle Association) he vehemently opposed the right to `arm bears´, on the off chance that one of them might shoot back. It was during this time that he uttered his most famous words. Whilst raising a rifle in one hand, he challenged the powers-to-be to remove it “From my cold, dead hands”.

It would seem that now wouldn’t be a bad time to try; as we feel that `Chuck´ would most probably not put up much of a resistance.

The Ragged Clown/ Your Message Here Editor’s Note: Although making progress, the Ragged Clown is still undergoing treatment at a Costa Blanca institution. He was therefore unable to supply any copy this month. However, before his illness he submitted the following article, which at the time we felt unable to print due to its content.

Now, with the debate raging throughout the Costa Blanca about whether The Smuggler should be a paid for magazine, or rely solely on advertising for its revenue, we feel it is an appropriate time to publish this critique: Something has got to be done about the insidious rise of advertising. It’s out of control.

Advertising messages are popping up everywhere these days.

There’s no escaping them. Just last night I was enjoying a beer in Coastal Bar in Javea (in the arenal part of town, up the road from the Spar shop – great selection of beers with a warm, friendly atmosphere.

Really nice people, too), getting ready to watch the match on one of their big screen TVs, when I got talking to a chap who’d just got back from the UK. He pointed out to me the ridiculous amount of adverts now swamping England. It’s scandalous! As you leave the plane the tunnel is festooned with reasons for switching to HSBC. It seems that the decision on where to put your money has now come down to finding out which bank manager can make hand signals in

Greece without causing offence.

Then, when you claim your luggage, the trolley advertises all the new and exciting ways of getting into the city centre.

You’d think with all the extra money they’re receiving for the adverts they’d be able to fix the wonky f*cking wheel! Need to make a phone call to let the family know you’ve landed safely? Well you’d better make time to read all the adverts for young asylum ladies from Albania and, curiously, all the posters which talk about the advantages of a mobile phone.

Hop into one of those moving billboards called a taxi, and the undersides of the foldaway seats carry advertisements telling you to put an advertisement there. It’s a similar story in lifts, Tube trains, cinemas and (so I’m told) buses. Even if you walk you’ll be assaulted by messages on billboards, buses, lorries, and shop windows.

Oh, and make sure you dodge all those spotty-faced bastards with leaflets and scowls.

Figure you’ll escape the adverts by driving your own car? Think again!

Even petrol pump nozzles are urging you to buy a Snickers bar.

Turn on the radio; get ready for more adverts than music. It’s enough to give you a Commercial Breakdown… now that’s an idea for a television programme! Even the back of a parking ticket is now a mini30

hoarding.

When you finally get home you’ll struggle to open the door because of all the junk mail you’ve accumulated. Talking of junk mail I got a letter the other day asking me to sponsor a child in Africa – does that mean that some poor little orphan would have to walk around with ‘Read the Ragged Clown’ tattooed on his forehead?

Why don’t you relax by watching some TV? Apart from the 17 minutes an hour dedicated to commercials, most programmes seem to be sponsored by someone or other these days. Mind you, I think they could turn this idea up a notch - Porridge sponsored by Readybrek, Dracula sponsored

by The Blood Transfusion Service, Grumpy Old Women sponsored by Tampax.

But over and above all the adverts and sponsorship on TV there is another way for corporations to get their messages across – Product Placement.

This method of advertising is particularly effective because

the viewer doesn’t realise it’s an advert, it appears to be just part of the show they’re watching, so their critical defences are down. But their subconscious picks up that the star of the show drinks Coke™, smokes Camels™ and prefers KY Jelly™ while the baddies drink some other cola, smoke another brand of cigarette and use another make of lubricant.

It’s all very subtle, and is something that we at The Smuggler have taken a stand on and refuse to allow in our magazine.

In fact this very subject was discussed at our last company do at The Lemon Tree Harvester restaurant near Moraira, where we had a great night, all for a very reasonable cost.

Anyway, maybe you decide to get away from all this advertis-

ing by going for a relaxing walk around the town? Well, you’ll find every hanging basket, roundabout and bench is sponsored. Why don’t you stop off for a quiet beer at your local? Well, go for a pee and pass the time by reading all the adverts above the urinals.

Decided you’ve had enough and so you log onto the Internet to book a flight back to Spain, eh?

Well, be prepared for all the adverts asking if you want a bigger willy. Do women get similar offers to give them a bigger…no, don’t even go there, Rag. So, eventually, you arrive back in Spain. Where they have just

31

as many adverts on the telly, but you don’t understand them.

Where you read the billboards because it helps to improve your Spanish, and you put up with the ads on the radio because at least they’re in bloody English. Smile, You’re In Spain™.

'Because,' said Mick, 'all the street was laughing when they saw you making love yesterday.'

Paddy said, “Silly buggers, the laugh's on them. Sure I wasn't at home yesterday.”

There once was an Indian who had only one testicle, and whose given name was 'Onestone'.

He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him

Onestone.

After years and years of torment, Onestone finally cracked and said,' If anyone calls me Onestone again I will kill them!' The word got around and nobody called him that any more. Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said, 'Good morning, Onestone.' He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into the forest where he made love to her all day and all night. He made love to her all the next day, until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.

The word got around that Onestone meant what he promised he would do. Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until A woman named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away..

Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin, was overjoyed when she saw Onestone. She hugged him and said, 'Good to see you, Onestone.' Onestone grabbed her, took he deep into the forest, then he made love to her all day, made love to her all night, made love to her all the next day, made love to her all the next night, but Yellow Bird wouldn't

die!

Siamese twins walk into a pub in Ontario and park themselves on a bar stool.

One of them says to the bartender, 'Don't mind us, we’re joined at the hip. I'm John, he's Jim. Two Molson Canadian beers, draft please'. The bartender, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite conversation while pouring the beers. 'Been on holiday yet, lads?' 'Off to England next month,' says John. 'We go to England every year and hire a car and drive for miles, don't we, Jim?' Jim agrees. 'Ah, England !' says the bartender. 'Wonderful country... the history, the beer, the culture...'

'Nah, we don't like that British crap,' says John. ' Hamburgers & Molsons beer, that's us, eh Jim? And we can't stand the English - they're so arrogant and rude.' 'So why keep going to England ?' asks the bartender.

'It's the only chance Jim gets to drive.'

AN INTERESTING HISTORY LESSON. Railroad tracks. This is fascinating be sure to read the final paragraph; your understanding of it will depend on the earlier part of the content.

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet,8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.

Why was that gauge used?

Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US railroads.

Why did the English build them like that?

Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.

Why did 'they' use that gauge then?

Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.

Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?

Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England , because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.

So who built those old rutted roads?

Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England ) for their legions.

The roads have been used ever since.

And the ruts in the roads?

Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of

Zero Tolerance Speed Camera

destroying their wagon wheels.

Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever.

So the next time you are handed a Specification/ Procedure/Process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with it?' you may be exactly right.

Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' asses.) Now, the twist to the story: When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRB's. The SRB's are made by Thiokol at 38

their factory in Utah . The engineers who designed the SRB's would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRB's had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRB's had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.

Paddy the Irishman died in a fire and was burnt pretty badly. So the morgue needed someone to identify the body. His two best friends, Seamus and Sean (also Irishmen), were sent for. Seamus went in and the mortician pulled back the sheet.

Seamus said "Yup, he's burnt pretty bad. Roll him over".

So the mortician rolled him

over. Seamus looked and said "Nope, it isn't Paddy".

The mortician thought that was rather strange and then he brought Sean in to identify the body. Sean took a look at him and said, "Yup, he's burnt real bad, roll him over". The mortician rolled him over and Sean looked down and said, "No, it isn't Paddy".

The mortician asked, "How can you tell?" Sean said, "Well, Paddy had two arseholes."

"What, he had two arseholes???" said the mortician.

"Yup, everyone knew he had two arseholes. Every time we went into town, folks would say, "Here comes Paddy with them two arseholes...."

A young man excitedly tells his mother he's fallen in

love and is going to get married. He says, "Just for fun, Ma, I'm going to bring over 2 other female friends in addition to my fiancĂŠe and you try and guess which one I'm going to marry".

The next day, he brings 3 beautiful women into the house and sits them down on the couch and they chat for a while. He then says, "Okay, Ma. Guess which one I'm going to marry."

She immediately replies, "The red-head in the middle."

"That's amazing, Ma. You're right, how did you know?"

"I don't like her."

"You b*stard!" The judge continued, "You are also charged with beating your daughter to death with a spanner." Again, the voice at the back of the courtroom yelled out, "You ****ing b*stard!!!"

The judge stopped, looked at the man in the back of the courtroom, and said, "Paddy, I can understand your anger and frustration at this crime, but I will not have any more of these outbursts from you or I shall charge you with contempt!

Now what is the problem?"

Paddy, at the back of the court stood up and responded, "For Mick was in court for a fifteen years lived next door to double murder and the judge that b*stard. And every time I said, "You are charged with asked to borrow a f***ing spanbeating your wife to death with ner, he said he didn't have a spanner."

At school, a boy is said, "it's not your fault told by a classmate that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, and that this makes it very easy to blackmail them by saying, “I know the whole truth” -- even when you don't know anything.

The boy decides to go home and try it out.

As he is greeted by his mother at the front door he says, “I know the whole truth.” His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, “Just don't tell your father.”

Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, “I know the whole truth.” The father promptly hands him $40 and says, “Please don't say a word to your mother.”

Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day, when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets him by saying, “I know the whole truth.” The mailman drops the mail, opens his arms and says, “Then come give your FATHER a big hug.”

Mom and Dad were trying to console Susie, whose dog had recently died.

"You know," Mom

that the dog died. He's probably up in heaven right now, having a grand old time with God." Susie, still crying, said, "What would God want with a dead dog?"

There was an old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish confessing to adultery.

One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, "If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!"

Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word.

Someone who had committed adultery would say instead that they had 'fallen.'

This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well until the priest passed away at a ripe old age.

A few days after the new priest arrived, he visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned.

"Mayor, you have to do something about the pavements in town. When people come into the confessional, they keep telling me they've fallen."

The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest about the code word. But, before he 42

could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at him and shouted, "I don't know what you're laughing about, those curb-stones must be a death-trap, your wife has fallen three times this week!"

Two Aussie builders (Barry and Mark) are seated either side of a table in a rough pub when a well-dressed man enters, orders a beer and sits on a stool at the bar. The two builders start to speculate about the occupation of the suit.

Barry: - I reckon he's an accountant.

Mark: - No way - he's a stockbroker.

Barry: - He ain't no stockbroker! A stockbroker wouldn't come in here!

The argument repeats itself for some time until the volume of beer gets the better of Barry and he makes for the toilet. On entering the toilet he sees that the suit is standing at a urinal.

Curiosity and the several beers

get the better of the builder.

Barry: - 'Scuse me.. No offence meant, but me and me mate were wondering what you do for a living?

Suit: - No offence taken! I'm a Logical Scientist by profession.

Barry: - Oh! What's that then?

Suit: - I'll try to explain by example... Do you have a goldfish at home?

Barry: - Er... Mmm . Well yeah, I do as it happens!

Suit: - Well, it's logical to follow that you keep it in a bowl or in a pond. Which is it?

Barry: - It's in a pond!

Suit: - Well then it's reasonable to suppose that you have a large garden Barry: - As it happens, yes I have got a big garden!

Suit: - Well then it's logical to assume that in this town if you

have a large garden then you have a large house?

Barry: - As it happens I've got a five-bedroom house...built it myself!

Suit: - Well given that you've built a five-bedroom house it is logical to assume that you haven't built it just for yourself and that you are quite probably married?

Barry: - Yes I am married, I live with my wife and three children.

Suit: - Well then it is logical to assume that you are sexually active with your wife on a regular basis?

Barry:- Yep! Four nights a week!

Suit: - Well then it is logical to suggest that you do not masturbate very often?

Barry: - Me? Never.

Both leave the toilet and Barry returns to his mate.

“Normally, at this time of year, he would spend hours standing under a sprinkler on the back lawn, an umbrella shielding him from the droplets, singing a selection of his favourite songs. He always wanted to be well prepared for Wimbledon fortnight. Now though, he spends most of his time indoors; browsing through a Spanish dictionary for offensive words”.

It seems his intentions are to attend all major tennis tournaments involving the Spanish player Rafael Nadal, and do his utmost to put him off his game

If this should fail, he intends to employ his impish looks by disguising himself as a ball boy; then proceed to pass severely tampered-with balls to the Spanish heart-throb. Again, if this should prove fruitless, he will attempt to cause disruption by arranging for British forces to storm the event, seize Nadal, then have him detained under trumped-up terrorist charges”.

“I understand, continued Mr Mower, that Cliff is a little peeved about not winning the Eurovision contest 40 years ago, and that he feels this has somehow held him back all these years; but to start a feud against Nadal would be absurd.

Sandy and Jim got married and they could not wait for the honeymoon.

Jim whisked Sandy off to their hotel suite and they started touching, teasing, holding one another.

As Sandy put her hands in Jim's pants - she began to scream and ran out of the room!

Jim ran after her to find out what was wrong.

'You told me that your penis was the size of an infant!', she said.

'Yes it is... 8 pounds, 7 ounces, and 19 inches long!'

OR PERHAPS THE CRUCIAL FACTOR is that they should be East European circuses. In 1993, Bucharest-based horse trainer Hanibal Cantori went to the stable to give his stallion Galbenus some sugar, and discovered his wife Laura having intercourse with the animal. When she confessed to regularly seeking satisfaction with Galbenus, Cantori strangled her with a silk scarf, before committing suicide.

and Lisa refused to remove her hands from her head When they finally got in they found that Lisa had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head... A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid. Lisa is blonde.

(the actual AP headline) Lisa Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her inlaws, and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eves closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car, He noticed that Lisa's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Lisa replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour Sex on a Sunday The man called the paramedics, morning! who broke into the car beI will never hear church bells

Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparents' house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother and comfort her.

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."

Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that two people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.

"Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and

A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day finding the most perfect shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third everything had just been reduced to a fiver when her mobile phone rang. It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU. The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and that she'd be there as soon as possible. As she hung up she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best day ever in the shops. She decided to get in a couple of more shops before heading to the hospital.

She ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful coffee slice complimentary from the last shop.

She was jubilant. Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital. She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her Husband's condition. The

lady doctor glared at her and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your shopping trip didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself in town, your husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as well you went ahead and finished because it will be more than likely the last shopping trip you ever take! For the rest of his life he will require round the clock care. And you'll now be his carer!"

The woman was feeling so guilty she broke down and sobbed.

The lady doctor then chuckled and said, "I'm just pulling your leg.

He's dead. What did you buy?"

Two hookers were talking. The first said: last night I made $500 and I feel like a bottle of champagne.'

The other one said: last night I made $5,000 and I feel like a pot of glue.'
