I'm not familiar with the name of the original poster, but I assume it was an attempt to formulate a topical joke in an unfamiliar language. It will improve with practice, I'm sure. Have patience, and don't fret about not understanding it - no one else has either.:-D Nobody wants to read a diary by someone who has not seen the shadow of Bubba on the prison shower wall in front of them!

    Very true...I'll stick with my own (incomprehensible) sense of humour then. Growing up while Spike Milligan was on TV has left it's mark on me... :laugh: Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

      I think this is what was meant: Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: Because no intern was there and then the chicken got scared. See Nish's answer for the explanation.

      It's still not funny. I vote we lock this guy up in a room with a TV and a continuous loop of Python and Milligan to develop his sense of humour. ;) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk
