    Oh God I've had such a laugh tonight!

    When I was younger I used to help out in a Sunday School. We gave the children a task to do which was to draw anything they liked from stories from the bible (I'm not that religious - just a phase I went thru in my teens) One little boy drew a man in a helicopter and said it was Pontius Pilate flying it!

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: brilliant, I just couldn't drag myself away, then read the Zulu one, neally peed myself, ran downstairs to 'report' to DH, don't know why I bothered cos I couldn't get the words out !!!!

    This thread is soooo addictive! I was supposed to go to bed ages ago too!!

    This is for real too...

    My mum used to be a teacher of English to Foreign students. Mum and bro are clever (dunno what happened to me. Well, suppose you can't have looks and brains...lol!). She has a degree in Japanese and taught English to Japanese students for years. One Monday, mum asked the students to write in English what they had done at the weekend and one student wrote that they had been to a concert in London and that is was so good that they all stood up and crapped!!!! Mum still has the essay!

    In my job I have very close contact with patients which involves them undressing. For some unknown reason the older gentlemen 'drop' their trousers to their knees, then ferret around tucking their shirt in their underpants. This happened to me about 4 years ago, the gentleman in question did just that, then proceeded to SHAKE MY HAND - :eek: quick fetch a bucket !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Am on annual leave this week and have been trawling through the threads. Glad I stumbled across this one. Thanks for a good laugh:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I blame the teachers for a lot! As I say, my mum was a teacher and taught English and modern languages at my school for a while. I could never skive like the other kids. Used to really p off when they were having fun and I had to stay at school!

    I'm going to be giggling away tonight and not sleep. I snort when I laugh too so I guess I'll keep everyone else awake as well!
