I bought some shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day.
thats not a joke its the truth.A Royal Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, the English learn only English. He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?'
Without hesitating, the British Admiral replied,
'Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies, South Africans, and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'
Some time ago I bumped into an old mate in the street and said "Hello Fred!" He replied "Don't call me Fred, call me Lucky! That plane crash in Spain - I should have been on it, but got held up in traffic and missed the flight!"
A bit later I met him again and said "Hello, Lucky!" He replied "Don't call me Lucky, call me Lucky Lucky! That terrorist bomb in London - I was due to be on that spot but fell ill and couldn't make it!"
Some time later I saw him again but he was in a wheelchair, so I said (nervously) "Hello Lucky Lucky!" He answered "Don't call me Lucky Lucky, call me Lucky Lucky Lucky!". I said "What do you mean, Lucky X 3? You're in a wheelchair!" He replied "You recall the terrible storm last October? Well, I was on the bed, giving the girl friend a good seeing-to, when a lightning bolt struck the chimney-stack, it came through the ceiling and hit me in the lower back, now I'll probably not walk again."
So I said "What's thrice lucky about that?" He said "Well, if it had happened five minutes earlier, it would have smashed my head in....."
Why didn't he pick England, or South Africa, or another team more likely to win the world cup?
