So that's where she gets them!
I don't doubt,
Your Majesty, that you've noticed that "British Jokes" one day or not, that is an
Aussie site.
And thus very nearly as alien to us as you are.

Tell: are you on the 'Naughty Jokes' list as well?
You know us Americans, give us a British sounding accent, we think they all the same.
Paddy translated some for me, and NO, they are not postable. I did learn some knew words though
Who'd thought a word for small country house could be construed as that?
Paddy and I are both lost on some, so Neil gets to translate the rest.
The "naughty list" is not bad, if one doesn't mind certain words.
Been trying to register on the site... put in email and get

They're not all bawdy and in need of translation.
I loved this one and we can all relate...

One night, a Delta twin-engine puddle jumper was flying somewhere above
New Jersey. There were five people on board: the pilot, Michael Jordan,
Bill Gates, the Dali Lama, and a hippie. Suddenly, an illegal oxygen generator
exploded loudly in the luggage compartment, and the passenger cabin began
to fill with smoke. The cockpit door opened, and the pilot burst into the
compartment.
"Gentlemen," he began, "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is
that we're about to crash. The good news is that there are four
parachutes, and I have one of them!" With that, the pilot threw open the
door and jumped from the plane.
Michael Jordan was on his feet in a flash. "Gentlemen," he said, "I am
the world's greatest athlete. The world needs great athletes. I think the
world's greatest athlete should have a parachute!" With these words, he
grabbed one of the remaining parachutes, and hurtled through the door and
into the night.
Bill Gates rose and said, "Gentlemen, I am the world's smartest man. The
world needs smart men. I think the world's smartest man should have a
parachute, too." He grabbed one, and out he jumped.
The Dali Lama and the hippie looked at one another. Finally, the Dali
Lama spoke. "My son," he said, "I have lived a satisfying life and have
known the bliss of True Enlightenment. You have your life ahead of you; you take
a parachute, and I will go down with the plane."
The hippie smiled slowly and said, "Hey, don't worry, pop. The world's
smartest man just jumped out wearing my backpack."
