Congrats mate :-D
We have got just too much time on our hands today...
I haven't had much time to surf today, I've spent all afternoon putting my tower & monitor on my desk, and getting it all sorted out again. I just wish I had my accel card :-(
Here's a golden oldie for you guys (bloody long!):
A Scotsman, Englishman and Irishman were trying to escape from a prisoner of war camp in Germany during WWII. They had been watching the fence next to their hut for a while, and they had spotted an opening.
"Right," said the Englishman. "The shift changes about 11pm, we'll wait until the last guard on the outside is on his way back, and the searchlights have just passed, then we'll climb the fence."
"Sure," said the Scotsman. "It's real queit oot there at that time, we cud really mak' it tae the wids."
The Scotsman and Irishman both agreed this would be the best time.
11pm was closing in and the guard was walking back to the gate.
"Right, time to go" said the Scotsman. He ran to the fence, climbed over it and jumped down the other side. He landed on an old fallen branch and it snapped. The guard turned round.
"Halt! Who goes there?"
"Miaow," came the Scotsman's reply.
"Damn cat."
The guard turned and started making his way back to the gate again.
The Scotsman then creeped quietly to the woods ahead.
"Phew," said the Englishman. "That was close." He ran towards the fence, climbed over it, and dropped down the other side.
Snap! He also landed on a fallen branch.
"Halt! Who goes there," the Guard said as he turned round.
"Miaow."
"If that cat does it again, I'll scare it off with a shot from my gun."
The guard turned back towards the gate again.
The Englishman creeped over to the Scotsman in the woods and waited on the Irishman.
"Right," the Irishman said. "Here goes nothing." He ran to the fence, climbed it and dropped down the other side.
Snap! Another branch broken under foot.
"Halt! Who goes there?"
The Irishman replied: "Don't worry, it's just another damn cat."
If that's not a groaner, I don't know what is. :-D
