My wife asked me to remove a picture from over the fireplace.

It was an off-the-wall remark.

Had she asked you to replace it with a whiteboard, that would have been truly remarkable

I have developed a habit of drinking brake fluid, but I should be able to stop at any time.


A man of your caliper will never brake the habit.

American English version
What are you? Some sort of hood?

Queen's English version
What are you? Some sort of bonnet?

Hmmm, that doesn't work, does it. Gimme a brake, I'll pad out this post a little.

I asked my Jewish friend for his opinion. He looked me in the eye, then Manny folded his arms and said, "Consumption of that stuff wont do you any good. You'll soon become exhausted." I asked if he thought it might do me harm and he replied, "I di no, sores*** could develop on your lips which might be wheely uncomfortable."

I'm wheely clutching at straws here.

Queen's English version
His Wife, is a right old boot.

American English version
His wife is a right old trunk.

Now see how the American English version is so proboscistuous. Heaven nose why.

She wears some far out gear and had bought a pair of socks which were the wrong size for her, so was giving them to my wife. "Ah yes," I said, "diesel fitt 'er."


*** Who let the dinosaurs back in? I'll throttle him. Could have been that used car dealer Ed. Ed sel's some right old lemons.

On my last airline flight, I was curious about our climbing altitude, so I asked the pilot how high he would get.

The pilot replied, 'I don't do drugs.'

Gosh! Another award. Can TNS afFord it? Let's not dodge the issue, if their bank account is anything like mine, it will be devoid of funds most of the time and the banks charger lot for an overdraft. How often I look at my statement and I chrys ler account has got vaux hall in it!

Just this morning I had to forego my morning cuppa because the caddy lacks tea bags. Breakfast was non existant too, no bread, no rice. I missed my usual rolls & royce Its enough to drive you round the benz. But I just cit roen my rocking chair out on the porsche watching volks as they wag on by. Like the young mum from a few doors away taking her kiddy to school. I'm kind of fhond a her.

Aye see, cobras isn't it. But I must 'ang on to every hope for the future.

By the way, re nault money, I am not begging here. That would be a cardinal sin.

(Explanation of this dubious pun:
Cardinal = Cardinal Wolsey = Cardinal Wolseley = Wolseley Motors.
)

All rather austintacious isn't it. Mor risky than ever before. But I shall emerge triumphant, settle down and no more shall I be a rover.

Did I mention, the wife nearly bought me a BMW............

She bought me a BMX and said "On yer bike!"
