[Tina]Yes, I remember you from your antics in the ante-room.

Thyme heals all wounds.

Tina] What an amazing coincidence! I also worked at the White House in the 90's. Sadly I had to leave office in January 2001 – after having hit on every woman in my employment except one.

Many people have scoffed at Secretary-of-State and former general Colin Powell for pronouncing his forename with the long 'o' sound, but it is actually a homage to the fact that he has discovered he is descended from one of Louis Pasteur's original specimens of E-Coli. George W. Bush's great-great-great grandfather was actually a sneeze from George Washington's horse.

There is no such thing as America

Chalk is actually fossilized snow.

Riff - you have a poor sense of humour. I am not glad you are posting here.

I'm glad Bob hasn't posted anything about a small mammalian superhero lately.

[Bob] Your words offend me greatly; I rue the day I came here.

Atop the Rotunda, overlooking the dilapidated and crumbling 1960s concrete Bull Ring arcade, evil Birmingham city centre development engineers plot a complete redevelopment of the entire West Midlands into the worlds biggest handbag-shaped shopping experience. Could this be another job for "Planning objection Gerbil"?

I can remember the amusing comment I was going to post here earlier. I don't think it was about IDS.

I discovered America. It happened quite by accident when I was searching the freezer for ice cream.

Mericas come in packs of twenty from you local corner shop. Buy a merica today!

I smoked a Merica once, but I don't remember how it tasted.

A Merica (vintage 2001-present) does not have a taste akin to a pile of cowsh*t.

Amazingly, cowsh*t tastes rather like strawberries.

I wouldn't know, but I'll defer to those who do.

The word 'defecate' is one which should never, ever, be used in print.

"Print" is a word that should never be spoken.

'Print' is a basic function that all computers master first time, and never have any problem with.

Sports commentators go to special schools where they are taught how to form metaphors.

I am not going to post the sentence "I've never metaphor I didn't like".

... as the mathematician said to the slide rule.

I know exactly what I am going to demo in ninety minutes, so I'll just spend a few minutes in here so I am a bit more relaxed.

I meant to do that.

When I interned at the White House, Hillary Clinton and I spent many careless Sunday afternoons sitting lotus style on the bed in the Lincoln room, playing gin rummy, smoking cigars, and eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

In Australia 'peanut butter' is synonymous with 'Vegemite^TM' and tastes exactly the same.

The Japanese parliament consists entirely of little robot dogs.

If you peel an onion layer by layer and then put the layers back together in the reverse order you will create an area of space time which Frenchmen and the influence of France cannot penetrate. In this manner you can be near a peeled onion and feel no tears in your eyes at all.

<lie>Halloween is a holiday that is based around embracing scary things, particularly those involving Michael Portillo, the Daily Telegraph, Kenneth Clarke and the mythical Michael Howard. Ghosts, witches, black cats, goblins, banshees zombies, and demons, as well as Dracula and Frankenstein flee in terror on Halloween, when these strange figures are said to rise from the dead. </lie>

George W. Bush will be dressing up as his father tonight and going door to door begging for candy.

Dick Cheney will actually be dressing up as Hans Blix and going rubble-pile to rubble-pile in Tikrit begging for weapons of mass destruction. If he gets any, he'll put them in his secret lair under Pikes Peak.

The road to the top of Pike's Peak is the safest in America and may be driven at high speed with impunity.

You are the only person who can read this. Everyone else thinks it's a picture of the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower was built by specially trained miniature french poodles. They were all worked to death, which is why they are now extinct.

I enjoy Halloween - especially having eggs thrown at my window, which I intend to use at a later date for mousaka.

I love Hallowe'en too. I spend the night of October 31st every year sitting atop the Eiffel Tower, talking to the ghosts of the miniature poodles, and launching eggs at Angus Prune's window with my ICBE launcher.

I alse threw eggs at Angus Prune, but missed every time.

Nicholas Parsons merely has to smile at them to heal damaged houseplants.

It is impossible to draw a picture of Michael Howard without the use of a chisel.

The quickest way to Birmingham is through the middle of the roadworks on the M6 in rush hour.

The quickest way to Birmingham is to seek enlightenment as a combination cub scout/Buddhist monk, and then get earn a badge in Divinity. Ascend to Nirvana, and turn left.

I am so wonderful at my job, that people dare not look directly at me. Or it could be my lack of sleep.

Sleep is so useless that I never bother using it.

RE: Business Proposal/Partnership Investment

Dear Friend,
I received encouraging information about you and how trust worth you are. I am delighted with such a useful information. I am interested in the partnership investment program with your corporation. First permit me to introduce myself as Governor Sandy Soko of the Western Sahara State in the Democratic Republic of Sahara (A tiny Island in the Desert). Being the chief executive and the governor of my State. I awarded the contract of IRRIGATION to Portuguese Firm worth several millions of dollars.

In the execution of that project the Portuguese Firm discovered large amount of gold in one of the contract site. I collaborated with the Portuguese Firm on a mutual agreement on the proceed of which I have received my share of $65.000,000=(sixty five million dollars).

As the Governor of the Tiny Island, I cannot introduce or circulate this funds into the Sahara banking system considering my provisional duty and the considering the fact that I earn less than $1,000US dollars monthly coupled with the Bureau of conduct guidelines and regulations for Public Civil Servants.

The above situation prompted my decision to give the whole lot to you. I will arrange all necessary procedures. You will find the money in a brown envelope, sellotaped to the plastic giraffe in the children’s play area of Exeter service station.

Best Regards,
Governor Sandy Soko
Western Sahara.

A family of plastic giraffes have just moved in to a mansion just down the road from me.

I have not just sat and read all of Bob the Dog's last post

Hitler was just misunderstood

I have just received a four-page letter from George Bush asking my opinion about the war, the American economy, and Homeland Security.

On January 1st 2000, the town council of Lampshade, Montana unearthed a time capsule that had been buried beneath the City Hall on January 1st 1900. Inside were found an old newspaper, a buggy-whip, three old photographs, a bowler hat, and the entire cast of the 1998 German film Run Lola Run.

There is a place called Hell in Nebraska

The signpost on westbound OR-26 at the junction with highway 212 which points to "Boring Oregon City" is not even slightly amusing.

I can't afford to buy Tuj now. I can't think what to do with the spare one either.

I came home today mentally prepared to begin work and discovered to my surprise that I had already finished it during an idle hour last week.

All Liberal Democrats have a heartening vision of universal freedom, all Labour guys strive to improve the life of the common man and all Conservatives yearn to create a morally upstanding Britain. All voters want to help them.

It's your democratic duty to vote. If everyone voted, we would have a government that would be discernibly superior to the current one.

There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Bun.

Sawdust is actually a gas. Chemical symbol Sw, it reacts violently with bromine to produce spinach.

similarly, barbecue sauce is the result of a chemical reaction between potassium and shampoo.

Shampoo comes from the ancient Indian word meaning to smother with month-old brie

One can actually achieve a fine brie at home simply by putting a bottle of milk in a tumble dryer on hot for several days.

All things can be tumble dried

The indigenous population of commemorative plaques has been severely diminished by trophy hunters.

Somewhere in the Australian Bush, a man has faked his own death. Could this be a jobb for 'Insurance Fraud Kookabura'?

I suspect that a kookaburra would not laugh at that suggetion.

'suggetion' s/b 'suggestion' - Ruddy 'eck, AP, it's catching!

Ann Widdecombe and Kylie Minogue are, in fact, the same person. (Have you ever seen them in the same room?)

The Tube map is actually at 1:1 scale. The tickets are soaked in a drug that, when absorbed into the skin, causes you to shrink drastically. Don't ever eat one, or you may not return to your proper size at the end of your journey!

Dr.KEITH PEAR
United Bank For Africa PLC,
ILupeju Branch,
Lagos, Nigeria.

I am Dr.KEITH PEAR, Branch Manager with United Bank For Africa,Ilupeju Branch, Lagos, Nigeria. I have an urgent and very profitable business proposition for you that should be handled with extreme confidentiality.
On January 6,1998 a Foreign Consultant and contractor with the Nigerian Railway Corporation Mr. Williams Gambe by name made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$25M (Twenty five Million United States Dollars Only) in my branch. Upon maturity I sent a routine notification in accordance with the Bank policy to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers Nigerian Railway Corporation that Mr. Williams Gambe died from an automobile accident.

On further investigation, we found out that he died without making a Will and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

I therefore made further investigations and discovered that Mr. Williams Gambe did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.

This prompted me to contact you.

I have decided to spend the whole sum on a slap-up meal at ‘Thank God Its Fridays’ in Aston Cantlow with a whole stack of people I’ve never met before.

Will you come?

I await your response urgently.
Regards,
Dr.KEITH PEAR

Yes.

Only if elephant tusks are not on the menu. If this is satisfactory to you please send to me your bank account details in order that we can confirm this in a professional manner.

Signed

This will not take very long.

Toblerones are made from the reconstructed nose hairs of 2 week old gorillas

Which is ironic, because gorillas evolved from cheese.

Michael Howard looks certain to lead a wholly reunited Conservative party to an overwhelming General Election victory in 2005.

Noone typed this. In fact, I do not exist.

I did not type this. I do not own a keyboard, and have to enter words onto the computer by a process involving my brain, a set of jump leads and the scrotum of a passing snapping turtle.
