    If you choked a Smurf, what colour would it turn ?

    If a person thinks marathons are superior to sprints, is that racism ?

    Why do actors say "Break a Leg" for good luck


    --ooOoo--
    Age is a question of mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter
    Leroy (Satchel) Paige (1906-1982)

    Mickey Mouse's girlfriend, Minnie, made her film debut, along with Mickey, in "Steamboat Willie" on November 18, 1928.
    That date is recognized as her official birthday.

    Three of my people only have £10 in their pockets, They buy a Tv that cost £30. At the till they are informed that it had been reduced by £5, so the assistant gives each a pound back so they have paid £9 each and keeps £2 for himself.

    Three X £9 = £27 and £2 in the assistants pocket = £29. Where’s the other £1 gone?

    What other £1? £8 x 3 = £24 + £5 = £29

    Because actors are very superstitious and it's bad luck to say good luck. Also to break one's leg is an old expression for bending it, which one might to do in order to take a bow, following a successful performance.

    Wrong perspective. The shop assistant and the shop are not the same entitiy.

    The mugs have paid 3 x £9 = £27. The shop assistant kept £2 and put the other £25 in the till.

    You can't add the amount that went to the shop assistant to the amount the mug punters paid cos the shop did not get that two quid.

    What he said.

    The "trick" is that you're counting the same money twice. And it's just coincidence in this example that it's only £1 difference. Could do it with different numbers, and it'd probably be easier to see the difference. But I can't be bothered

    Actually, I'm sure it must be Yorkshire...

    Yorkshireman1: The youth of today - I ask you!
    Yorkshireman2: Aye, t'other day, this whippersnapper was telling me about this new band Gotan Project.
    Yorkshireman3: Gotan Project? I was playin' Gotan Project years ago!
    Yorkshireman4: That's nothing - I was playing it when you could only get it on vinyl!
    Yorkshireman1: We never had vinyl - we had to get a lump of clay and make all t'grooves ourselves, and listen wit' needle attached to ear trumpet.
    Yorkshireman2: We used t'dream of 'avin a needle! We used to have to chew a brick until we broke a tooth off with a sharp end, and use that.
    Yorkshireman3: You had bricks?
    Yorkshireman2: Well, actually, it was one of the loose stones in the hut we lived in - but we called them bricks.
    Yorkshireman4: Ah, but it's easy when you've got stones. We had to make do with cowpats left to dry in the sun. And it's hard chewing a cowpat until your teeth fall out.
    Yorkshireman1: But we were happy!
    Yorkshireman2: That we were. But if y'tell the youth of today that, they won't believe you!
    Chorus: Aye, Aye.
