That reminds me of another joke. I'll post it
next time.

**********************************************
Three Welshmen and three Englishmen are travelling by train to
a football match in London. At the station, the three English each
buy a ticket and watch as the three Welsh buy just one ticket
between them.
"How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks
one of the English. "Watch and learn" answers one of the Welshmen.
They all board the train. The English take their respective seats but
all three Welsh cram into a toilet and close the door behind them.
Shortly after the train has departed the conductor arrives to collect the
tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket please".
The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in
hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.
The English are mightily impressed by this, so after the game, they
decide to copy the Welsh on the return trip and save some money.
When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return
trip... To their astonishment, the Welsh don't buy a ticket at all !!
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed
English. "Watch and learn..." says one of the Welshmen.
When they board the train the three Welsh cram into a toilet and
soon after the three English pile into another nearby.
The train departs. Shortly afterwards, one of the Welshmen leaves
the toilet and sneaks across to the toilet where the English are hiding.
He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket please..."

This joke isn't really one of my top draw jokes but getting
you to correct my errors reminded me of it. Actually I
wasn't even going to put this one up for fear that someone
might find it offensive. But I decided that I'd take the chance.
It's a frustration, DM, some of the best jokes are so insulting
and so funny at the same time. I mean recently there have
been all these really funny dumb blond jokes. And I think like
well, what if it turns out that Buffy is blond? We don't want
to get her angry. I was thinking of maybe changing blond jokes
to Paris Hilton jokes, but then some of the blonds are men
and sometimes there are two blonds in one joke so that
wouldn't work.
Before they were hitting on blonds they used Polish people.
I believe that the British tell those jokes about the Irish.
And there are redneck jokes, only I get the feeling that they
like them. When I was a kid we had "little moron" jokes. But
I guess that's offensive to morons, so we can't do that anymore.
We can still do Bush jokes because they're mostly just quotations
and Bush won't be offended because he doesn't understand why
they're funny.

Well, actually, I guess I should be flattered that someone as intelligent as you is relying on me to correct them.  |
Yeh, and I should be flattered that someone as intelligent as you thinks
I'm intelligent. By the way, thanks for the rep points.
But speaking of being intelligent, would you do me a favor? I posted
a thread on the fourth dimension in the strange claims forum and I
guess people around here are burnt out from Time discussions. It
kinda got ignored. But I'd still like to get just a little bit of feedback.
Would you have a look at it and let me know what you think? It's short.

Great thread!  |
And I'm also flattered that you found them worth printing out.
Well, I'll go check my collections and see what humor I can find
that's funny and doesn't insult anyone. It ain't easy. I wonder
if there are any English teacher jokes.
Finally, it's a little after midnight here and I've been at this computer
for almost ten hours. So if your still looking for errors this is a
likely place to find them, but I don't think I care anymore, at least
not until I get a good night's sleep.
