The 'Skull & Crossbones' flew menacingly from the middle mast of the approaching galleon.


"Avast me hearties", said the captain.
"A vast what?" retorted the 1st mate.
"They be after our cargo of ferrous metal." The Captain declared.
The crew looked on in horror and Botswain Higgs said, "You mean, they be Iron Pyrites?"
Ooo arrr.

This one really happened:
There had been a few scandals involving ministers of one of our State Governments. The then premier went to one of his regular press conferences. After a few questions on more innocuous topics had been dealt with, a young reporter opened with
--"Mr Premier, you must be aware of allegations that have been made against ..."
He was interrupted with
--"Allegations? What allegations? Who are these allegators?"

Did he go on to say 'I accept I am partly responsible, but I'm not going to gharial the blame.'

Were there crocodile tears in his eyes?

Did he say to the waitress "Give me a crocodile sandwich, and make it snappy." Did she serve the sandwich on nice clean crockery?

Cuban crocodile


I see garments being torn by this creature if the washing is left out. That's your root problem here. Have Anna bring it in to keep it safe.


That's another pun gone up in smoke. Ah well! You win ston, you loose some.

Don_1, you can't fool me. Cigars in a washroom are all smoke and mirrors.

There wash room in the washroom until some fools started going in there to stick their cigars up their nasal passages. This resulted in the management putting up a huge sign with the legend 'Nose Moking', which got in everyones' way. I complained, saying "Ash a nuisance." But the boss, a Spaniard, said "Ash tres necessario."

(And reverting to the crocodilian puns...)

He went on to say "Itsa Hokay para usted, you don'ta hava to ghary all the ash anda the buttsa out ata the end ofa the day, so itsa cleana para la mañana."

"Mañana?" I questioned, "I think you'll find they are smoking ordinary cigars, nothing remotely 'herbal'".

Which reminds me of the time I nearly got into trouble with drug squad. All I said to the girl was "I want to marry you Anna."

Walter Raleigh brought cigars to England. Queen Elizabeth declared they were too big after, not realising they should be smoked, had eaten one. So they were made smaller and the cigar eat was born.

It was even more dangerous for you than you think.

The drug squad was suspicious because Anna is a woman of such distinguished courage and ability, and she's widely admired and emulated for her brave deeds and noble qualities.

In short, a heroine!

Good thing the marriage was annulled.

April is:
International Guitar Month

I'm not bragging, but soon after I join any band as a guitarist, I am instrumental.

That's quite a tail.  The reporter must have been looking for a snappy story she could sink her teeth into.
