      Focus: where the sun's rays meet. Crimeny, it's no fun when it has to be explained.

          Trust me, it wasn't fun before it was explained! :laugh:

            Mine too. I was expecting it to dirty for one thing. Whether that says more about me or the general standard of jokes around here I don't know!

                  Well, let's just say I thought it was a weak pun, because "focus" doesn't sound very much like... How can I explain this without crossing the KSS boundary... "sons raising meat"... Put your mind in the gutter and think about it...

                      I would have thought "cattle ranch" to be a give-away, but that might have been too regional for an international board.

                        And cannot decide what to name it. Their father, overhearing the heated discussion, suggests Focus. "Why Focus?" they ask. "Because it's where the sons raise meat."

                            i was thinking that "Focus" was the regional supermarket, where the 3 sons would "buy" their meat from because the farm would not have worked anyway since they could not even agree on naming it...

                            Opium is my business. The bridge mean more traffic. More traffic mean more money. More money mean more power. Speed is important in business. Time is money. You said opium was money. Money is Money. Well then, what is time again? icalburner.net
