Funny but true for the americans that is. Would have been a lot funnier if it had been de-americanised though. I get told that but now I de-americanise all my jokes so more of the brits can understand them and laugh out loud. | |||

Me and a couple of friends at 6th form used to go bird shooting after school. We'd leave our guns in the car during the day, then hop in after last period and drive down to some land and plug away. Funnily enough it's illegal to take a knife onto school property but not a gun! If I knew that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life. |
