Joke for the Day: Add more if you want

Recommended Posts

Posted

Princess Diana and the Queen are driving down the lane when their car is forced off the road by masked thieves. "Out of the car and hand over your jewels."

After the thieves rob them and steal their car, Diana begins to put her earrings, necklace, and rings back on.

"Wherever did you hide those?" demanded the Queen.

"Where do you think?" asked Diana.

"Pity Margaret wasn't here," said the Queen. "We could have saved the Bentley."

I was curious about how and why Bentley surpassed Rolls as a luxury car. Turns out to be a contest between BMW and Volkswagen which apparently VW has won. ^_^

I had a notion to buy Rolls stock when it went to $6 many years ago during bankruptcy. My opinion was the "intrinsic" value was much more than that. Before I could place my order the stock went to $10 and I lost my nerve.

Best regards,

Since hijacking a thread is forboden, elsewhere, I'm taking license to change that here.

Apology of the day and not joking around:

I'm working on it all. And, RA1, I'm honestly, and deeply sorry you unfairly became a target of my work in progress, which I hope will someday be a better me. You deserved not only better - you deserved none of it at all.

Now see here!

Don't you know that apologies are what are strictly verboten on this site?

Not to mention their being a social faux pas, reminding both parties all over again of the original discomfort.

I accept yours AS but know of no target on my back. ^_^ No harm, no foul from what I observe.

I simply hate people who choose to correct other people's heart filled expression between forboden and verboten.

What could possibly be the difference?

as usual, I failed to provide a smiley face.

I don't think its a case of Bentley surpassing Rolls. Both are extremely luxurious but many people feel that a Rolls is "over the top", too showy, and for that reason they prefer a Bentley. Says just about the same thing but in a less ostentatious way. Also a Rolls is more apt to be driven by a chauffeur whereas the Bentley is usually owner driven.

Not in the least. Education is the duty of all. :D

And, happy Chaucer to you, too. ^_^ Meet you at noon at the Canterbury Inn where, if we are lucky, we shall meet some Canterbury Tails. ^_^

“Speak, sweete bird, I know not where thou art.”

This Nicholas anon let fly a fart,

As great as it had been a thunder dent*; *peal, clap

That with the stroke he was well nigh y-blent*; *blinded

But he was ready with his iron hot,

And Nicholas amid the erse he smote.

Off went the skin an handbreadth all about.

The hote culter burned so his tout*, *breech

That for the smart he weened* he would die; *thought

As he were wood*, for woe he gan to cry, *mad

“Help! water, water, help for Godde’s heart!”
