Ryan Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 That's nothing, a termite enters a saloon and asks is the bartender here? 2
GusMac Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 A hotel close to here has a bar which is a giant fish tank, all glass, so I don't think the termite would find it very tender! 3
Wumm Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Lost in translation... We have a few "New Australians" at work, many from the Sub-Continent, many leaning English as they go, and taking things quite literally. One of them came to me one day and asked... "The Supervisor just apologised for hanging sh#t on me. Why would he wish to do that to me?" 2

Wumm Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 No, I think that would only have confused him more. Told him that "sh#t" is one of those marvelous words, that in English can be a Noun, a Verb, and also an Adjective; and that in a Workplace environment he should consider the word "trouble" as a substitute, especially when dealing with clients. There are some words thrown around in the Transport Industry that are not to be repeated, IYKWIM. S 1
Ryan Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 An nervous man walks into his doctors office and exclaims "I'm a Tee Pee, I'm a Wigwam...I'm a Tee Pee, I'm a Wigwam...I'm a Tee Pee, I'm a Wigwam...I'm a Tee Pee, I'm a Wigwam...I'm a Tee Pee, I'm a Wigwam...I'm a Tee Pee, I'm a Wigwam...I'm a Tee Pee, I'm a Wigwam..." The doctor interrupts him and insists, "Mr Smith relax you are too tense." 2 1
