The Battle of the Nile was against a French fleet.
The Battle of Trafalgar was against a combined French-Spanish fleet.
It was a French sniper (firing from a French ship) that killed him.

Sadly not seeing the last dozen or so of Socaldmax's images, despite refreshes, logouts/ins, editing of the page source https urls etc.

The domain that hosts the funny images he keeps linking to is a dog.


Not only does it frequently return "Forbidden" notices to a lot of links when it's up, but what's worse, once again isitdownrightnow.com reports:



Glamisdunes.com is DOWN for everyone.
It is not just you. The server is not responding...

Someone keyed the music teacher’s car

Fortunately, the damage seems to B minor.

Re: The New Joke Thread

Pre means before and post means after.

To use both at the same time would be...

...preposterous??

Re: The New Joke Thread

And last but not least...


Yoda and Luke are walking through the swamp. Part of their usual training course involves shimmying along a cliff ledge, but today, there's a long break in the ledge they can't cross.

"Something for this, I have." Yoda says. He reaches into his bag and takes out a bunch of regular dinner table forks and a roll of duct tape. He tapes several forks together to make a bridge and lays it down, allowing the two of them to get across.

When they get back to Yoda's hovel, they find that some creature has chewed a hole in the fence around Yoda's garden. "Something for this, I have." Yoda says again. Once again, he takes a bunch of forks out of his bag and, using duct tape, tapes them in to patch the hole.

Yoda and Luke return to Yoda's home, where Yoda looks through his bag. He's used all his forks but one, he discovers.

"That's ok Master." Luke says, wanting to be helpful. "I'll write us a note reminding us to buy more." So he writes the note and uses the very last fork to pin it to the bulletin board.

He looks down at Yoda expecting pride, but instead finds a look of horror. "Master Yoda!" he asks. "What did I do wrong?"

Yoda replies sagely, “A Jedi uses the forks for no ledge and the fence. Never for a tack!

Re: The New Joke Thread

yes, even during combat, Nelson liked to parade around his ship in full dress uniform with all his various medals glinting in the sunlight......he was an easy target for a sniper...

he was quite the ladies man as well........I've read that he was pickled in a cask of rum for the trip home....

myself, I prefer the rum inside my body......

The French military's nickname of "Cheese eating surrender monkeys" must have been earned at some point later in time.

Indeed. Around 1995, on "The Simpsons".
