    My missus said she wanted a fur coat for her birthday, so I got her a cheapie made from hamster pelts.

    When we went to the fairground I couldn't get her off the big wheel.

    Oddly enough these two comments have reminded me of a sobering thought about my own mortality. I have asked my family for only two things after I have passed away: 
    For my remains to be scattered over my favourite ride at Alton Towers.
    For my body not to be cremated. 


    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    I'd like to go to Alton Towers with a load of nuts and bolts in my pockets and whilst on a ride hand them to the person next to me and say "Look what I've just found"

    Female pensioner enters chemist asking about viagra for her husband...
    "what strengths do they come in?"
    25%/50%/75% and 100% replies the phamacist.
    "whats the difference?"
    "well 25% will perk him up at a slight angle and 100% he will be pointing at the ceiling for hours".
    "ill take the 25%" she says
    "That might not  do much good for an older gentleman or for you madam if i may say so" replies the pharmacist.
    "Sure,  but It will stop him pissing on his slippers".

    I've got a new job making little plastic Dracula dolls. We're working flat out though as there are only two of us here.

    I have to make every second count.

    ^ His name was Alfred Nobel. His invention made him very rich and he bequeathed his fortune to the betterment of humankind. It is his vision and his money which created and still pays for the Nobel Prize.

    If you go to Stockholm you can visit his grave. Yes, there is only one of it, and he died after a stroke.

    Quite. And not exactly revelatory, unless I’m also in some sort of minority that knows who Nobel is.

    He was also known for corruptly influencing sporting events or "fixing" as it's now known.  e.g. "The favourite in the 2:15 at Kempton has been nobeled".
    Humans are destructive parasites that will destroy the celestial oasis of Earth.  The sooner Homo Sapiens are extinct, the better.

    Alfred Nobel founded the Nobel Prizes to assuage his feelings of guilt at having invented many explosives and gun powders that wound up being sold to armies all over the world.

    After inventing the ODR-1, Alfred Nobel was so dismayed at people believing it was a Tube Screamer, he actually blew himself up with dynamite. FACT.

    Don't shoot the bloody messenger. Shoot the ignoramus who drew the cartoon. He could have used pretty much any other explosive and wound up with a far better joke.

    Really?  We're getting into the subtleties of using the correct type of explosives - and let's face it, we should all be able to list dozens - in a comedy context? 

    This thread is dead.
