Shiney and Tiger

Thank you for bringing some brightness to my miserable bank holiday.

A classic.

Ohforfoxsake · 10/04/2009 19:51

Oldraver, he's spent the majority of last 4 and half years bobbing back, forth and around Antarctica so Falklands feels like his second home. I think he was enjoying it until the weather turned recently and he discovered ours at home was for once better than his . Oh and the sudden plague of mice that are now eating their way through all his possesions seem to have added a new level of loathing and he's NOW ready to come home

So, bearing in mind the number of journalists who see MN as the source of an easy story, it's not that unlikely that this will make the papers - what will you do then Shiney?

But they might have been waiting for the denouement - after all it would have been a dead giveaway to have printed it before today.... much better story if they waited.
Maybe they had a photographer lurking there....

Hurrah!

Do let us know if he texts back...

This is a 'funny' which I have just received. Quite apt I feel.

Seven Dwarfs go to Rome

THE Seven dwarfs go to the Vatican , and because they are the seven dwarfs, they are immediately ushered in to see the Pope.

Grumpy leads the pack.
"Grumpy, my son," says the Pope, "What can I do for you?"
Grumpy asks, "Excuse me your Excellency, but are there any dwarf
nuns in the Vatican ?"
The Pope wrinkles his brow at the odd question, thinks for a moment
and answers, "No, Grumpy, there are no dwarf nuns in the Vatican ."
In the background, a few of the dwarfs start giggling.
Grumpy turns around and glares, silencing them.
Grumpy turns back, "Your Worship, are there any dwarf nuns in all
of Rome?"
The Pope, puzzled now, again thinks for a moment and then answers,
"No, Grumpy, there are no dwarf nuns in all of Rome .
"This time, all of the other dwarfs burst into laughter.
Once again, Grumpy turns around and silences them with an angry
glare.
Grumpy turns back and says, "Mr. Pope! Are there ANY dwarf nuns
anywhere in the world?"
The Pope, really confused by the questions says, "I'm sorry, my
son, there are no dwarf nuns anywhere in the world."

The other dwarfs collapse into a heap, rolling and laughing,
pounding the floor, tears rolling down their cheeks, as they begin
chanting......
"Grumpy shagged a penguin!"
"Grumpy shagged a penguin!"

Fantastic thread. Proving once and for all that while a woman scorned is a force to be reckoned with - a MNetter scorned is another barrel of fish altogether

flightattendant19 · 10/04/2009 20:24

CKelpie I have almost wet myself

bohemianbint · 10/04/2009 20:35

I love whoever's suggestion it was to get Jane to reschedule again for tomorrow at the monkey place...

Also fascinated to hear what happens if he finally gets in touch with you, Shiney.

Pennies · 10/04/2009 20:39

Have been following this thread whilst on hols. What a classic. I found myself checking the time whilst on a chair lift halfway up a mountain wondering if the assignation had taken place!

mychildrenarebarmy · 10/04/2009 20:45

Ckelpie. can't type. laughing too much.

FattipuffsandThinnifers · 10/04/2009 20:48

Have followed the story - well bloody done Shiney and Tiger. Brilliant.

I salute, applaud and give you a pat on the back hearty enough to knock a penguin off its little flat feet.

oldraver · 10/04/2009 20:55

Yes reschedule.... could also do it at the local farm.. in the shed where the donkey is

goingplaces · 10/04/2009 20:59

Just wondering if this man is sitting around at home utterly confused and bewildered.

Perhaps this will shed some light on the matter...

Don't get caught in the dark!
