Joke thread

[Worthy4England]

I got it before

[TANGODANCER]

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, because it's a joke of a sort:

Article on travel in the BN by one Katie Hodge on the delights of Namibia. She writes that they "teared across the landscape" and saw "elephants and cheaters". Don't know if it's her or the typesetters, but either way it made me laugh. We all make typos occasionally, but as an article in print in a daily it's a bit lax by the proof readers. Want a job Bish?

they dont proofread anymore, they just hit spellcheck and hope its right.

spellcheck doesnt correct spelling mistakes if the word youve got wrong is also a word.

there's grammar checkers now on word proccessors , but even they might let those examples thru.

i mis-spelt 'they' as 'the'

miss-spelling MEN as ME is one you see a lot. or HERE as HER .

Why are seagulls called seagulls? because if they flew across the bay they'd be bagels.

Penguin joke

[Prufrock]

They aren't. They're called 'gulls'. Sorry. I hate myself.

[thebish]

for musicians out there....

[Worthy4England]

I'd bitch.

indeed!

I know "a little" about birds - and a little knowledge is dangerous..

on a boat trip to see seals this summer I (helpfully) filled in the gaps between seeing seals by pointing out the different sea-birds to by daughter.

"look up the on that rock" I said confidently, "four cormorants."

no sooner had the words left my mouth that the boat's guide piped up (I'm sure he must have heard me!)

"up on the rock, some people might imagine those are cormorants, but they're not, they're shags!"

daughter has never let me forget it...

anyway - was it you Pru? - cos he also said - "many people call them seagulls, but there is no such thing as a seagull. those are black-backed gulls over there, those are herring gulls over there, and those are black-headed gulls over there... "
