..............and I thought the only shots fired were towards the goal |
|
Was doing a tour of Old Trafford afew months ago at one stage the tour guide had our group sitting on one of the stands and he was going on about the pitch and how important it was to keep it in top shape then he points up to a glass window on the far side of the pitch and said there is a man with a machine gun up there and if anyone attempts to set foot on the pitch they would be shot.
An indian guy in front about 18yrs of age turns around as serious as you can get and says to the guide with a very shaken voice "How many people have been shot so far" it took everyone afew seconds to let what he said sink in and when it did nobody could hold the laughter in and while we were laughing the guide was trying to reassure him that there wasn't actually a man with a machine gun waiting to kill him. |

Not the brightest |

A few of us were on a stag in Manchester back in May, and ended up havin a few in Long Legs strip club. Sitting down enjoying the scenery when one of the girls comes over and asks me if I'd like a dance. Not being the biggest fan of implants I said 'nah you're okay love'. she put on the upset face, so trying not to hurt the girls feelings I said 'eh, I'm just waiting for the asian girl there' nodding to the girl behind her. she looked around, and turning back to me says 'oh she's not asian, she's from china...'
I nearly choked |

I really should have asked |
|
I have no idea what preceded this or in fact what followed but the only snatch of the conversation I heard from two elderly ladies on the bus was ".......and was it your real nose?"
This has haunted me for years! |
