Why do you write 'dark' with a k in the end instead of with a c?
Because you can't c in the dark.

Why we need to raise standards in college. Overheard:
"Do you know Newton's Second Law?"
"I'm a Science student, not a lawyer!".

[Piping the haggis...]
Huh? :oldconfused:

I don't get it. Is this a "haggis-and-fishes" miracle whereby that one little dish will feed the hundreds of people in that room?

Or is it that a haggis is more effective at repelling people (compared to bagpipes)?

Haggis and bagpipes combined, although the effect may be countered by the liquid refreshments usually served on this occasion.
