I was working in Tesco, re-arranging boxes of soap powder in aisle 7 when in walks the girl I'd scored with last night. She said "Oy! You said you were a stunt pilot you lying bastard!" I replied "No, I told you I was part of the Ariel display team!" **************************************************************** 2 things: 1) helps to know that Ariel is the name of a popular soap powder in the UK and 2) for the boys below who posted jokes that had no punchline or were incomprehensible - this joke may not be that funny but it has a punchline and is somewhat amusing (for a start, it makes sense) - something yours sorely lacked.

If you need to explain it then you've fallen at the first fence.
Use the best guess

He just explained it for you, as you are so old, that when you were young the Furs were cleaned by punching the dirt from them. All others here know Ariel. ;P

Now that does need explaining.
Use the best guess

I don't know that I agree with that. There are enough different dialects represented here that a soap brand that is common in the UK (and elsewhere apparently) may not be available in other parts of the world. Being from the US, Ariel is the little mermaid, so I'm very confused by the joke without the explanation (though I try not to be one of the people who attack the jokes I don't understand or just aren't funny).
