WHAT MAKE YOU CHUCKLE
Hi all
I'm new to this forum but happy to be here. I hope you take this as the fun I think we can have.
I thought I might see who giggles at the "silliness" we see on TV etc daily
My example: SBS Global Village. Silvio Rivier (a nice man I'm sure) claims to have covered hundreds of countries and languages.
BUT - everytime he pronounces a place or persons name he applies his accent/pronounciation.
Not statistically possible.
I once had an atlas out (in advance based on the green guide listing) to look up where he was describing but couldn't understand what he said so I couldn't look it up. (To my ears it was mumble)
No I'm not bitter and twisted, just amused.
Tennessee mechanical engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up.
A woman walked by and asked what they were doing.
"We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole," said Bubba, "but we don't have a ladder."
The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a few bolts, and laid the pole down.
Then she took a tape measure from her pocket, took a measurement,
announced, "Eighteen feet, six inches," and walked away.
Ray shook his head and laughed. "Ain't that just like a woman? We ask for the height and she gives us the length!"
Bubba and Ray are currently working for the government.
