Souron: they did, my sister was visiting her boyfriend there when they happened. They both slept through it, iirc.

IS there an English city built on an extinct volcano? We have volcanos here?

Dumb Britain, in Private Eye magazine has some gems www.geocities.com/kurtodrome/english/dumb.html

It's a shame that half of them are just incorrect, not mind-bogglingly stupid . . .

Don't think there's an ENGLISH city built on an extinct volcano. but IIRC Edinburgh is

"How does it rain there if it doesn't rain there?"

"Odysseus put out eyes of Polyphemos."

Just make sure that everything really is (or rather should be) common knowlege, and not something like "and then he said that the function of the integral from minus infinity to x of the cosine of theta converged! What an idiot!"

once i was coming to a post office (there was a time we had post offices) and i was gonna pay alot of bills. i was in a hurry, but i cant get inside since this woman with a 3 year old kid are about to exit, only the kid insist on opening the glas door.

the woman dosent try to open the door either she is just waiting i guess for the kid to fail, since the door is like 5 times his bodyweight.

so i open the door slowly and step inside.

-the woman (to the kid): wow, youre SO strong!
-me: thank you maám.

i guess you had to be there.
