Flies take off backwards so if you want to swat one, aim behind it.

There are more than 127.000 germs per square inch on a telephone ( hopefully in an office) compared to 49 per square inch on a toilet seat.
Sorry to be so yukki.

Dear All

Hello

Wherever you are in England, you are only 50 miles away from the nearest salt making depot.

I thought you might like to know this!

Take care
Best wishes

It's all very well writing it, Helen, it's the pronounciation - and remembering the pronounciation that is the problem - it doesn't quite roll off the tongue does it!! LOL!!

A male seahorse carries the babies and gives birth.

The gap between pedals in a car are determined by a mans size 81/2 foot.

I think the word people mean is Bendroflumethiazide.

I used to take those Benzo wotsits - aren't they diuretics?

A duck's quack doesn't echo.


....so how many of us, when asked what medication we are on say 'Benzo wotsits, Dio thingumyjigs and Cander so and so's'!!

A black box flight data recorder is not black and you can not lick your elbow.

I take those Benzo wotsits as well, i cant pronounce it either!!!

I always thought a pregnant camel was a Git lol.Was this something we all thought at school in the 60's?

A bus travels faster when you are running to catch it than when you are sitting in it.

TootyFruity,
your last post is slightly incorrect, you should of put an A instead of an I. And that is correct if anyone says that it's not. I've just verified it with eldest daughter who has a degree in Marine and Freshwater Biology.

Pregnant camel is called a git.


EDIT - oooh! Perhaps it isn't.......

"As English contains hundreds of thousands of lexemes, etymology is a vast field of study, of which any examples will be pitifully few and probably not very representative. Many dictionaries will give etymological information. You should though be aware of FALSE ETYMOLOGIES - interesting and plausible stories about word origins: I was told as a child that a bloke was originally a pregnant goldfish and a git a pregnant camel - but both accounts are false."

GUARENTEE ALWAYS RUN OUT THE DAY BEFORE
SOMETHING BREAKS DOWN

Following on from Daffs info about height, if a man is not sure what his inside leg measurement is, then if he holds a pair of trousers outstretched by the hems of each leg, if the material is taut that will be the correct size.

Hi Col how's things going? Long tome no see.

If you do not shave on a Sunday, you will never suffer from toothache. Not sure if this applies to men also.

On the same theme... arms stretched out... the measurement from the tip of the middle finge to middle finger is the same as your height....

I use that to measure material........... a Greek lady told me in the market at Famagusta years ago....... she saw me being ripped off by the male stall holder and gave him a right old earful, lol

The distance between the inner crease of your elbow and the wrist joint will always measure exactly the same length as your foot.

Evidently this works for everyone.

Don't recommend trying this out if you're over 25!!!

Crocodiles and alligators are surprisingly fast on land. Although they are rapid, they are not agile; so if you ever find yourself chased by one, run in a zigzag line. You'll lose him or her every time.

I shall practice zig zag running forthwith........

Ann... maybe we could withold this info and shove some Quangoists into the croc pool???

Love
