An elderly British gentleman of 92 arrived in Paris by plane.

At the French immigration desk, the man took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on bag.

"You have been to France before, Monsieur?" the Immigration officer asked, sarcastically.

The elderly gentleman admitted he had been to France previously.

"Then you should know well enough to have your passport ready."

The British gentleman says, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible. The British always have to show their passports on arrival in France!"

The elderly gentleman gave the French Immigration Officer a long hard look.

Then he quietly explained:

"Well, the last time I was here, I came ashore on Juno Beach on D-Day in June 1944, and I couldn't find any feckin' Frenchmen to show it to."

 
 I've proudly got a St George's flag flying at the bottom of my garden. It's a flag I borrowed off my neighbour, a former French soldier.
 
 
All I had to do was paint the cross on it.

Le chortlet!

As a young lad, I was bullied into smoking by my French exchange student...



It was Pierre pressure.

Funniest French joke of 2013 (so far).

 
Ireland Declares War on France

François Hollande, The French President, is sitting in his office when his telephone rings.
 
"Hallo der, Mr. Hollande!" a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Clare, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!"

"Well, Paddy," Hollande replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?"

"Right now," says Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is meself, me Cousin Sean, me next door neighbour Seamus, and the five-a-side football team from the pub. Dat makes eleven!"

Hollande paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100,000 men in my army waiting to move on my command."

"Begoora!" says Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back."

Sure enough, the next day, Paddy calls again. "Mr. Hollande, the war is still on. We have managed to get us some infantry equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be Paddy?" Hollande asks.

"Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor."

Hollande sighs amused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks and 5,000 armored personnel carriers. Also, I have increased my army to 150,000 since we last spoke."

"Saints preserve us!" says Paddy. "I'll have to get back to you."

Sure enough, Paddy rings again the next day. "Mr. Hollande, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We have modified Jackie McLaughlin's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock Bar have joined us as well!"

Hollande was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers and 200 fighter planes. My military bases are surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I have increased my army to 200,000!"

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!" says Paddy, "I will have to ring you back."

Sure enough, Paddy calls again the next day. "Top o' the mornin', Mr. Hollande! I am sorry to inform you that we have had to call off the war."

"Really? I am sorry to hear that Paddy," says Hollande. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Well," says Paddy, "we had a long chat over a few pints of Guinness, and decided there is no feckin' way we can feed 200,000 prisoners."
 
 

I enjoy you "take no prisoners" humor, Steve.

Добри времена

Good morning Mr. James

there our Karyn!!!

howdy there mam'

worked any VHF lately?

Not recently,  we moved house just befor Xmas and his radios haven't been relocated yet.  Mainly because the space allocated for the new shack has a greenhouse in it...

I also haven't got a studio in the new house yet,  but I have plans...   [Evil laughter] AAAHHH HA HA HA HA HA  [/evil laughter]

ohhhh my,what a conundrum...

NO ham shack

NOstudio

and flowers where an HF transceiver should reside..

Oh the humanity of it all....

I hope you all settle in soon

Flowers?  Who mentioned flowers?

Gooooood Morning/afternoon/evening/night FSF!!!

What's with the Italian Undressing Thread?
(I can't be arsed to go back in time and check it out........Bubba?)

 I missed that one too. Could have been disasterous. 

 Karen good to see you back...oh and you too Mesh and Craigb and Bapu(we are guten free here I thinks)...and musicman and James and...well good morning all.

Hey Starise, (sorry, I didn't recognize you with your new makeover) good to see you too!!!

 Yeah having some problems with uploading my new avatar. I think it passed the ugly test and failed the acceptable test.

I was trying to use Thousand Island, but I lost count and had to start over.  I'm beginning to think some of those islands may be figurative.

Speaking of Avatars............I think it's time we should all converge on a "theme" avatar in dedication to this fine FSF that's made the foundation of many, many, many useless unnecessary inordinate interesting posts. (I believe we did the Dog avatar last year).

Mokeys?
Kittens?
Becan?
Ducks?
Birds?
Jars?
Ja?

Nice idea Mesh.

Good luck with changing your avatar though.

+1?

I'm with you on that Bubba.
 
I still don't understand why they would want to take the Italian dressing off.......it's not like you can take the eggs out of a baked cake.......

jamesg1213


Nice idea Mesh.

Good luck with changing your avatar though.

It's Murphy's Law.......(the (yearly) one time I actually get an idea, and the forum software becomes non-compliant......pfffffft!!)  

Mind you, we both have fat things with small heads in our avatars..let's do that!

 UB- What a dilemma!! You could always try French.? Wee?
Mesh, that's a great idea! We could even post close ups...of.....things (still developing the thought here and that could take awhile)

 Yes many folk could use their own pics for this.

983...984...monkey...(sigh)

1...2....3....

983...984...monkey...(sigh)

1...2....3....

A) Number of attempts in trying to change avatar?
 
B) Number of monkey's at the workplace?
 
C) Numbers for the next winning lotto ticket?
 
D) All of the above?

dont get Strummy started on the French, again....

983...984...monkey...(sigh)

1...2....3....

 
 Lucky devil! I only made it to 27 before I seen the monkey.

Yeah, I just tried to upload an avatar (5x) and kept getting the same error.

How can this FSF keep moving forward without some kind of inspiration?????

Good day, kids. 

BBC America will be airing a show early tomorrow called "Where Do Monkeys Come From?"  I wonder if our own simian expert, Daryl, is involved with the show. 

Scientists agree there is mounting evidence that Monkeys do, in fact, come from the FSF.

In other news, Top Scientists have been replaced by rabid ferrets with no discernable differences.  Dr. Squeaky could not be reached for comment, due to the fact that he was stuck under the refrigerator again.

Robid ferret as an avatar?......hmmmm.....might be an option......... IF THE FORUM SOFTWARE WOULD WORK!!

Is this forum software broken?

That might explain my post count.

No sane individual would dedicate that much time to posting that many posts in one forum, Am I roight?

Not really.

No sane individual would dedicate that much time to posting that many posts in one forum, Am I roight?

Now you got it. 

I tried to ask a sane individual a question once.

I never did find one.

UB: What time do you go to the Chinese dentist?

Banu: Two-Thirty.

how quickly some thread turn to buffonery..

take MCq for example...

go ahead take him...

no serious he had a question about ethically jacking with  another musicians presets via bluetooth from  off the band stand 

the thread went to hades in a pram. in short odor...

It was a much faster trip than you might imagine.

Unlike FSF which started off as buffoonery and pretty much degenerated from there. 

  Running bot-check 

bot check completed...


scanning filesystem objects for infection..

meh..  detected nothing....


3rd and final, "now scanning for threats."

How do I know if I'm a bot or not?
