Verona?

Like when we played this weird telegraph quiz thing. All about naming things beginning with a certain letter. Anyway, question was 'Famous bridges beginning with the letter M'. You got a point for every one you had that no-one else did. We were the only ones to get a point. With 'Michael'. Grandpa went mental, not the point blah blah. Outside the box.

Point of the game is like a backwards Family Fortunes though WtW. You have to name correct answers, but with as few mentioned by their sample survey. So odd ones. Merchant of Venice would've been a bad un, the rest, I imagine good. Hamlet should have been cracking. Technically correct, no-one would say it!

The Banking Crisis simply explained

.
Young Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for £100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day...

The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news.
The donkey's died.'

Paddy replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.'
Paddy said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'
The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?'
Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'

The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead donkey!'
Paddy said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'

A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, 'What happened
with that dead donkey?'

Paddy said, 'I raffled him off.
I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a profit of £898'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'

Paddy said, 'Just the guy who won.
So I gave him his two pounds back.'

Paddy now works for the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee in St. Peter's Square.

The first Catholic man tells his friends, "My son is a priest, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."

The second Catholic man says, "My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Grace'."

The third Catholic gent says, "My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone bows their head and says 'Your Eminence'."

The fourth Catholic man says very proudly, "My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Holiness'."

Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men give her a subtle, "Well...?"

She proudly replies, "I have a daughter, slim, tall, 38D breasts, a 24" waist and 34" hips. When she walks into a room, people say, "Oh My God."

Exactly how old is this fourth Catholic man?
