    When Miley Cyrus plays naked with power tools, it's "art", but when I do it I'm "drunk" and "need to leave Home Depot"

        One of my favvorites: Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple and a young newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor said, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks." The couples agreed and came back at the end of two weeks. The pastor went to the elderly couple and asked, "Were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?" The old man replied, "No problem at all, Pastor." "Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor. The pastor went to the middle-aged couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?" The man replied, "The first week was not too bad. The second week I had to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights but, yes, we made it." "Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor. The pastor then went to the newlywed couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for two weeks?" "No Pastor, we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks," the young man replied sadly. "What happened?" inquired the pastor. "My wife was reaching for a can of paint on the top shelf and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and took advantage of her right there." "You understand, of course, this means you will not be welcome in our church," stated the pastor. "We know," said the young man, "We're not welcome at Home Depot anymore either."

          I heard a similar version but it was bending over to get a chicken out of the bottom of the freezer, and Sainsbury's (Walmart in US, perhaps).

                Sainsbury's is a bit upmarket - Asda would be closer to Walmart (and is owned by them as well).

                  True, good point about Asda, although Sainsbury's upmarket? No more so than Tesco, surely? Waitrose, perhaps.

                    They think they are - that's why they are a little more expensive than Tesco* It's a 2 1/2 hour drive to the nearest Waitrose, so I can't comment on them ... :laugh: * Sainsbury's is 'more expensive' than upmarket rival Waitrose for customers without a loyalty card, research suggests | Daily Mail Online[^]

                      True, although of course these days they're all competing with Aldi, and our nearest large Sainsbury's is often cheaper than the equivalent large Tesco. If you're on Farcebook there's a group called "Overheard in Waitrose" which is supposed to be quite amusing. May have to join it myself.

                        And I've noticed that Tesco quality is pretty poor these days as well.
