20060705 - Joke Of The Day: "Cinderella Troubles"

Poor little Cinders is in the kitchen crying when
in walks her fairy godmother who asks her what
the problem is, Cinders replies "The ugly sisters
laughed at me because my clothes are poor and
scruffy and they said I can't go to the ball."

The fairy godmother assures her that she can
help and waving her magic wand turns Cinderella's
rags into a magnificent ball gown complete with
gold sequins and elegant glass slippers.

Cinderella continues to cry and says, "I cant go to
the ball because it is a long way to go and I don't
know how I am ever going to get there."

The fairy godmother looks around the kitchen for
inspiration and sees a basket full of vegetables,
selecting a pumpkin and four carrots she waves
her magic wand and they are transformed into a
wonderful gold carriage with four prancing horses -
as a finishing touch she picks up a cabbage and a
leek and magically they become a coachman, who
climbs up and takes the reigns and a footman who
opens the carriage door and indicates that Cinders
should step inside.

Seeing Cinders is still crying the fairy godmother
asks her in desperation what ever else is wrong
and Cinders replies, "It is the time of the month
when I have my period and the ugly sisters have
taken all the sanitary towels so I still can't go to
the ball."

Looking into the almost empty vegetable basket the
fairy godmother takes out an enormous turnip and
with a flick of her wand turns it into a tampon which
he hands to Cinders saying, " There you go my
dear, but whatever you do, for heaven sake,
get back by midnight!"
