Pluck yew 2 (or too!)

Woodinsight says to carry on..

The Finger reminds me of an old one where the aged Asian guy who was about to go on holiday went into the Currency Bureau to change his Pounds into Euros, which they gladly did for him at 1.12 Euros per Pound.

He didn't actually spend them all so when got back he returned to the same Bureau to change them back again.

"No problem.  You'll get one Pound for every 1.24 Euros".

"What?" exclaimed the Asian; "You only gave me 1.12 a couple of weeks ago!  What's going on?"

"Fluctuations" replied the clerk, at which point the Asian exploded and stormed out shouting "And fluck you Europeans too...!"

:thumbsup:

I always look forward to your postings in Humor (Humour) - the English 'humour' seems to have taken a back seat to 'humor' these days.

Perhaps I should write a lexicon of English vs. American spellings/meanings for our non-English mother tongue members?
(eg - hood, fender, bonnet, boot, trunk, etc. etc.)
