I hate to disillusion you - or do you rate the UK as a US colony and not part of
europe at all? ( :-)

It's sometimes very interesting to see what our friends across the water do
to 'old chestnuts', esp. Irish jokes, when details such as the 
standard format are from an alien culture - but enough of this, let's have
some more jokes!

Offensive ... press 'n'

Q: What are pink, fluffy, and useless ?

A: Mrs. Tebbit's bedroom slippers.

Once upon a time ...

Scene, an English country pub. In walks a length of string, comes up to the bar
and asks for a pint of Guinness. The barman stares in disbelief, but serves
our cordial friend, who goes over to a table in the corner and sits down with
his pint. After a short while, in comes another piece of string, straight
and clean as was the first. It goes up to the bar and buys a pint of Maclays
80/- , and goes over to sit with the first piece of string. 

 After another pause, in drags a disgusting, dirty, tangled piece of string.
It goes up to the bar, buys a half, and pays with a grubby, torn pound note.
The barman, who has never seen a talking/walking/drinking piece of string
before, let alone three pieces, engages the string in conversation ...

"Are you with those two over there ? "
"I'm a frayed knot ! "
