This is why I feel old - it's been in use since I was a kid (waaaaaaaaaaay back in the 80s) and probably before that.

The fact people don't know what it means........ children!! You are all children!!!

(Or, you know, from countries where it's not used?)

Wow - now I feel old.

Only if you do it indoors.

So basically I'm the only person who finds the fact that cross-cultural misunderstandings are leading to some Americans thinking the senior directors of the NHS are eating children is UTTERLY HILARIOUS?

Good to know.

Really? Cause I think an anti-joke would be :-

I took my girlfriend to the dance, but first I went to get her some flowers. It took me forever, because there was a very long line at the shop for flowers.

We arrived at the dance, and she asked if we could have our photo taken. But it took us forever because there was a very long line to get your picture taken.

I went to get her some snacks, but it took forever because there was a very long line at the snack bar.

Then she asked if I could get her some punch, and I went and got it and brought it back, and it took no time at all.

Maybe he is exaggerating :)

A joke is when you say

"A guy walks into a bar with a dog, and he says 'I've got a talking dog'.

And the barman says 'No way'.

And the guy says 'No trust me, and he's also really smart. If you give him £5, he'll do whatever you want'.

So the barman gives the dog £5, and says 'bring me back a newspaper, and don't forget the change',

Then the dog says 'okay' because he's a talking dog. Then he walks out the pub.

They wait. Then they way, then they wait, then they wait. Then it's two hours later and the dog hasn't come back.

So the guy and the bartender go out looking for the dog.

They look all round the town, then eventually they find the dog down an alley with a lady dog, and they are clearly getting it on hot and heavy.

The guy is shocked and he says 'HEY! What are you doing? You've never done this before!'

And the dog calls back 'I'VE NEVER HAD THE MONEY BEFORE!'"

Tell me about it :)

Why?

Speaking as a straight, white guy you think there is a limit to the stupidity of straight, white guys?

 

(Just to explain, the original title was a tad confusing, which is why the exchange with @aubeynarf@lemmynsfw.com might seem a bit weird.

Sorry for that. I modified the title to clarify it, and so hopefully it does make more sense, even if it now makes the post from aubeynarf look a bit odd (for which I apologise).

 

On an entirely unrelated note, can I say how much fun this was to format
