That's terrific, Davenn. I've posted it on a woodworking forum and it took 2 seconds to get its first "like"

You know how you drop a nut and it vanishes somewhere never to be seen again? It's probably feral wrenches taking them to feed their brood of baby spanners.

That's an aphrodisiac, according to Red Dwarf. But maybe it also makes their jaws too well lubricated to pick up more nuts? It could work.

One I just read:

Did you hear about the Imperial Stormtrooper and the Starfleet security guard who got into a fight? The Stormtrooper missed every shot but the redshirt died anyway.

They should have employed Metric Stormtroopers. If you have to convert units all the time, you miss - ask NASA.

I'm not sure if I got it, which perhaps means I'm probably still young! :woot:

[Question: is it the same guy? ... Or his mother or something? Or perhaps I don't even want to know? ...]

Ok. I wasn't around in the sixties, but I will look it up, since I think I've seen the guy somewhere.

What did the Martian mouse say to the first Earthlings that he met after landing here?

"Take me to your Liederkranz!"

The real funny thing about it is the meaning of "Liederkranz" which translates as songs' circle, which makes it a triple joke.

Remember the girl who sold sea shells by the sea shell shore? Well, those shells have gone high tech, with Bluetooth connectivity and built-in amplifiers so you can better hear the ocean roar.

So, now she sells C cells for her sea shells.

Pleased to eat you.

There should be a 'groan' button instead of 'like', especially for this thread.
