Re: Re:
Jimmy finally staggered back to hear the verdict I quite agree it was a cute take.
We usually used to say the 'cheque is in the post' so that's the difference.

Re: jimmy
So, jean, I've got you laughing to the point of pains too, huh? Well, I suppose those kinds of pains are better than some others! I'll keep 'em coming, as long as I can continue to think them up . . .

Re:
Damn those clouds, C C T! Hopefully you didn't get 'knocked out!' Well, instead of trying to analyzing all of your analyzations, I'll instead try to explain that final joke . . .
I'm well aware that you Brits have your own 'homegrown humor' and various 'in-jokes' that probably only other Brits would understand and appreciate. Needless to say, we Yanks have some too!
Over the years over here, it's become common practice for someone to write a check and send it to a company for a product or a service. But sometimes people forget to send that check ( sometimes on purpose, to buy themselves more time to obtain sufficient funds ). If the company, or a creditor, were to call to inquire about that overdue payment, the easiest cop-out is to simply say "The check is in the mail." However, over time, this statement has become synonymous with catching someone in a fib or bold-faced lie. Someone might tell you something that you know to be untrue, and you might respond sarcastically with "Yeah, right! And the check is in the mail!" It's actually become a very common phrase for such incidences. And so, my joke was simply a 'play on words,' using Czech instead of check and male instead of mail! I don't know if that makes it any funnier for you, but at least you now understand the 'source' of the punchline!

Re:
Thanks, Kabu. Glad you both enjoyed them. Yes, my humor gets more and more twisted and bizarre everyday. But, if it keeps everyone laughing, then it's well worth it. Sorry about your aching sides . . .

Re: JimmyA
Thanks, Sir Wiley! I do my best. As long as everyone's chuckling. And just make sure there's someone around to help you get back up off of the floor! As far as your ass being 'off,' well, you're on your own with that one . . .

It is a sad fate, isn't it, FSI? I mean, to have all those powers and be stuck doing . . . well . . . we all know what he's stuck doing! I think I would prefer being trapped in a bottle or a lamp for all eternity . . .

Re: Jimmy
I would find it hard to imagine, Naut, that Canuck humming anything at all after an experience like that! Something tells me he won't be camping in that area again anytime soon, with or without a 'foreign friend' . . .

The Canuck and the Ranger were driving back in the rain; and having been told that Czech is in the male, the reminded himself of the other man's sad fate by humming to himself, 'It's plain, it's plain, she ate the man from Spain...'

Jimmy I have to write this quickly a big dark cloud is coming over everywhere is growing dark. Sadly I did not get your big joke unless it was something to do with Chess. Your lady bird rhyme well the little buggers can nip, I bet you did not know that, I love them so I can excuse the absence from home, Great little aphid eaters. Did you know you are supposed to blow on them when you say the rhyme. It sends them back to do a fry up.
As for your colored do da's they are easier to see when hung on trees if you ever are unfortunate to wander into such an area. I read that in the paper. Spots of thunder rain cheerio.
