Buckshot Bear Posted February 9 Author Posted February 9 An Australian, and Irishman and a Brit were sitting in a bar. There was only one other person in the bar. The three men kept looking at this other man, for he seemed terribly familiar. They stared and stared, wondering where they had seen him before when suddenly the Irishman cried out: Long My God! I know who that man is - it's Jesus!" The others looked again, and sure enough, it was Jesus himself, sitting alone at a table. The Irishman calls out across the lounge: "Hey! Hey you! Are you Jesus"? Jesus looks over at him, smiles a small smile and nods his head. "Yes, I am Jesus", he says. Well, the Irishman calls the bartender over and says to him: "I'd like you to give Jesus over there a pint of Guinness from me". The bartender pours Jesus a Guinness. Jesus looks over, raises his glass in thanks and drinks. Then the Australian calls out: "Oy you! D'ya reckon you're Jesus or what?" Jesus nods and says: "Yes, I am Jesus". The Australian is mighty impressed and has the bartender send over a pot of Fosters for Jesus which Jesus accepts with pleasure. The Brit then calls out: "Oii whack, would you be Jesus"? Jesus smiles and says: "Yes, I am Jesus". The Brit beckons the bartender and tells him to send over a Tom Collins for Jesus, which the bartender duly does. As before, Jesus accepts the drink and smiles over at the table. Finally, after finishing the drinks, Jesus leaves his seat and approaches our three friends. He reaches for the hand of the Irishman and shakes it, thanking him for the Guinness. When he lets go, the Irishman gives a cry of amazement: "Oh God! The arthritis is gone! The arthritis I've had for years is gone! It's a miracle"! Jesus then shakes the Australian's hand, thanking him for the lager. Upon letting go, the Australian's eyes widen in shock: "By jingo mate, the migraine! The migraine I've had for 40 years is completely gone it's a miracle"!!! Jesus then goes to approach the Brit who says: "Back off, mate! I'm on Disability"! 1 5 Quote

Well the pope may be French, but Jesus is English. You're on. 1 Quote
Alpo Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Having found that video, I got sucked down the rat hole of watching Knight's Tale videos. And the ending, where the bad guy - Avatar, or something like that - gets knocked off his horse and his flying backwards through the air. He's not wearing spurs. Now I'm sure they didn't have spurs on the stuntman to make it less likely he would spike himself doing that backflip. But a knight without spurs. That's not good. Quote
Buckshot Bear Posted February 10 Author Posted February 10 An outing for this group at an unknown location in South Australia.The vehicle is a 1920 Buick Tourer one of the many cars that had been imported into Australia in chassis form, then the car's body was built by the South Australian company Holden's Motor Body Builders Ltd which eventually produced the Holden car many years later. The company was founded by James Alexander Holden in 1919 and in 1924 the company became the sole Australian car body builder for General Motors with many brands of cars including Chevrolet, Dodge, Durant, Essex, Fiat and Hudson having been imported into Australia. 2 4 Quote

Alpo Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Gumbo is Swahili for okra. Which is why gumbo has to have okra in it. Otherwise it's not gumbo. The more you know 1 1 Quote

This kid decided he was going to make some money by growing sugar beets. Now for them that have never grown the garden, you plant your stuff close together. If you figure there's room for five growing plants, so you only plant five, probably only two of them are going to come up. So you plant 15 or 20 and as they're growing you choose the best looking ones there, and you pull up the others. You thin them out. And when he thinned out his beets he would throw them to the pigs. Said that winter when they butchered the hogs, that was the sweetest pork they had ever eaten. 2 Quote
Rip Snorter Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Sugar Beets are not a garden crop, but a commercial one. Endless processions of semi trailers near overflowing to the processing plant at harvest time. The leftover beet mash is often sold for cattle feed. 1 Quote
