Time to change sides again...clean the Kalashnikov and put it away, shave the beard, ditch the robes, swap the cow flop for a ball cap.
So, Red Indian - no dog, eh? What kind of Englishman are you, anyway? I thought dog ownership was mandatory in the UK. Could it be that you're actually <shudder> a Frenchman in disguise? Regardless, most of the guys who tried to engage you in a battle of wits were unarmed. Yah, it wouldn't surprise me if they were over in Images, choking the chicken.
DVNC, I'm really disappointed. Too much makee-nicee on this thread. You need to delete someone to piss them off and get things stirred up again.
Jo, a doumbek is a Middle Eastern drum - belly dance acts often use the instrument as accompaniment. We're not close neighbors - 5 hr drive from Birmingham to Biloxi, somewhat less at warp speed. Unfortunately I no longer have much occasion to visit your fair city.
Q, comparing Southern 'lees with the ones from snow country, down here there's more opportunity and less attitude. Both of those suit me fine. Besides which, I don't have to shovel "partly cloudy, chance of rain" out of my driveway all winter long.

Humour Around The World
When told a joke, an Englishman laughs three times. Once, when told the joke, politely. A second time, when the joke is explained, politely. And a third time, from two minutes to two weeks later when he finally gets it.
A German, when told a joke, laughs twice. Once, when told the joke, politely. A second time, when the joke is explained, politely. They don't laugh a third time because Germans have no sense of humor.
An American laughs once at a joke, very loudly. It doesn't matter if they get it, Americans laugh at anything.
A Frenchman will not laugh at all because a. they are not polite and b. they've heard them all.

I've been told that Italy has a new Foreign Aid programme - exporting vowels to Wales.

I'll never understand those people...
National Public Radio interviewed a Church of England pastor in connection with the recent murder of one of his colleagues by a lunatic in Liverpool. The pastor said that his trade union had begun sponsoring jiu-jitsu and unarmed defence courses for the membership.
Trade union??? Church of England is an Established (government) Church. The Queen is head, the clergy are government employees. That makes them eligible to join the govt white-collar union.
I wonder, are they Civil Servants? Is there a competitive examination for the position? If so, who wrote it? Has there ever been a strike? If so, what messages were on the picket signs? Inquiring minds want to know...

Probably because he is from a different country than I am 😛 😛 🙂 😀

Happy new year to you all!
1. I would have to put my hand up and admitt to being sarcastic, so its guilty as charged on that score, but "mean"? well I hope not but I do enjoy I lively debate and sometimes taking an opposite view just for the hell of it, but I do steer clear of direct personal abuse and foul language (unless its someone I know who knows I am joking with t
hem, DVNC will vouch for me on this score) I have tried to improve in recent weeks but as I have said before given the nature and purpose of this site there are a number of people with a very limited sense of humour kicking around.
2. Blimey strell lots of questions! I dont think C of E has "pastors" vicars, bishops, clergymen yes. Its news to me that they have a "trade union" I have never heard that referred to before. The queen is indeed the titular head of the church and senior church posts are controlled by the prime minister and rubber stamped by "her madge" but the local parish clergyman is not a government employee, I believe they are paid by the church comissioners who are one of the biggest propety and land owners in the country. So the vast majority are not civil servants as far as I know. I trust this has been of assistance!

I can vouch for him not bitin' at any innocent bystanders. Red's alright by me. At least when I don't understand, he'll explain. Ain't like I've never had t'explain some post or other.
Red's just got a different streak of sarcasm from ours. Add the barrier of a common language with different uses, and it's a thinkin' game. I got smart and started askin'. Works, too. The man cracks me up, now.
Didn't realize the man knew so much 'bout the government there, though. Red, y'gotta know, by now, that Strel never asks ONE question. At least he asks interesting ones. Glad you could contribute from that end o' the pond, man!

Thanks, Red. It wouldn't surprise me if Nat Pub Radio got it wrong. However, I distinctly remember the man mentioning his trade union in the interview. I've known American clergymen who were members of regular trade unions like the Intl Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, but a union just for churchmen was a new one on me.

British Humour
From www.laughlab.co.uk/home.html comes the following joke:
Q: Why do elephants have big ears?
A: Noddy wouldn't pay the ransom.
Allegedly this joke is funny in England, where they use Metric humour. I'll never understand those people...

Deliverance?
I prefer banjo jokes myself:-
Q: Whats the difference between a banjo and a trampoline?
A: You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.

Mama's Got A Squeeze Box
Q: What's "Perfect Pitch" with an accordion?
A: End-over-end into the dumpster from across the alley, without hitting the rim.

Re: Mama's Got A Squeeze Box
Geez, where DOES all this anti-accordion sentiment come from?!?!?
Were it not for the glorious music of the accordion, I never would have polka'ed my way thru college back in the Midwest.
I never would have spent ALL those late nights, swilling beer, polka-ing away while the band seemed to get louder...and LOUDER.
I never would have known that total disorientation that happens when someone who has NO idea how to dance leads you in dizzying circles on the floor...
I would never have known the sheer bliss of leaping out the front door into the sub-zero temperatures to escape, merely to be hauled back inside for "one last polka".
I never would have had the pleasure of having my ribs tickled in the middle of polka-ing to the "In Heaven There is no Beer" polka by someone who swore that was not what he was doing....
AND, thusly, I never would have found myself HERE, posting to the "In Defence of Red Indian" thread on the TMF...
Oh, and if you don't have an accordion, step on your cat. You'll get the same effect!! LOL

"squeal like a pig boy"
Q:- How do you define a gentleman?
A:- A gentleman is someone who owns a banjo but does not play it.

Red, seems like you're a fan of Deliverance too. Have you ever read the book? Better than the movie. James Dickey was a Visiting Scholar at a local university years ago, and knew some of the same people I know. The character Lewis is based loosely on one of them.
I never met Dickey, he left before I moved here. Too bad - I'm told he was an interesting guy.
