LADIES AND GENTLEMEN : STORY OF THE MONTH !
-------------------------------------------
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO SOME FRIENDS OF MINE AND I VISITED LONDON. ONE OF THE
FIRST NIGHTS WE DECIDED TO VISIT A NIGHTCLUB CALLED THE EMPIRE. IT WAS A
MONDAY NIGHT SO IT WASN'T EXCACTLY CROWDED, BUT THERE WERE NEVERTHELESS
SOME GOURGEOUS LOOKING FEMALES LURKING AROUND. THERE WAS IN PARTICULAR ONE
WHO LOOKED INTERESTING. AND I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A SHOT.
AFTER HAVING WAITED FOR AGES FOR THE DJ TO PLAY SOME SOFT SONG, HE FINALLY
GOT AROUND TO IT. I LURKED UP TO THE GAL AND ASKED WITH A SOFT SENSITIVE
VOICE: 'WOULD YOU LIKE TO DANCE?'. SHE STUDIED ME CLOSELY AND THEN
GRANTED ME A DANCE. I MOVED CLOSE TO HER AS THE SPEAKERS BURSTED OUT SOME
SLOW LOVE SONG. IT WAS R E A L L Y BEGINNING TO GET INTERESTING AS THE
CHICK LOOKED AT ME AND ASKED: 'WHERE ARE YOU FROM?' 'I'M A SWEDE', I TOLD
HER. THEN IN A MOMENT OF BRAIN MALFUNCTION I DECIDED TO TRY TO
IMPRESS HER BY GUESSING HER HOME COUNTRY, SO BEFORE I HAD THOUGHT IT
OVER MORE CLOSELY I BURSTED OUT: 'AND YOU'RE GERMAN, RIGHT?'
I HADN'T EVEN FINISHED THE SENTENCE WHEN THE GIRL LET GO OF ME AS IF I WAS
BURNING HOT. 'DO I LOOK LIKE SOME SAUSAGE-BREATH FRITZ-GAL TO YOU?', SHE
SHOUTED WITH A LOUD COCKNEY-VOICE. SHE SURE DID TO ME. BUT HER TIGHTENED
FIST AND RED FACE TOLD MED SHE WASN'T, SO I WISELY KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT AND GOT
THE HELL OUT OF THERE AS FAST AS MY FEET COULD TAKE ME. I'D LEARNED A
LESSON: IF YOU WONNA SCORE WITH A GIRL, DON'T CALL HER GERMAN!!!
STORY TURNED IN BY THE BEAST OF T.G.T.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN : JOKE OF THE MONTH !
------------------------------------------
TWO TRAVELLING HUNTERS WERE CAPTURED BY A WILD TRIBE IN AFRICA, AND BROUGHT
TO THE TRIBES VILLAGE. THERE, THEY WERE TIED UP TO A LARGE COLOUMN AWAITING
THEIR DOOM...
AFTER A WHILE, THE MEDICINE-MAN OF THE TRIBE CAME OVER TO THE FIRST HUNTER
AND SHOUTED : " DEATH OR MOUMBAH ! " WELL, THE HUNTER DIDNT KNOW WHAT
MOUMBAH MEANT, BUT HE CERTAINLY DIDN'T WANT TO DIE, SO HE SAID : MOUMBAH!
ALL THE MEN IN THE TRIBE SMILED, UNTIED THE MAN, AND BROUGHT HIM TO THE
CENTRE OF THE VILLAGE. THERE, THEY PERFORMED ALL KINDS OF PERVERTED SEXUAL
ACTS AT THE POOR HUNTER, WHILE THE REST OF THE TRIBE STOOD AROUND SHOUTING:
MOUMBAH! MOUMBAH! MOUMBAH!
AFTER TWO HOURS, THE HUNTER COULD NEITHER SPEAK NOR MOVE, SO THEY LEFT HIM.
AND THEN THE MEDICINE MAN TURNED TO THE OTHER HUNTER, AND ASKED HIM THE
SAME QUESTION : " DEATH OR MOUMBAH ! ". HE SAW HOW BAD THEY HAD TREATED
HIS MATE, SO HE PREFERRED DEATH, AND CRIED OUT : "DEATH!"
THE MEN IN THE VILLAGE STARTED LAUGHING WILDLY, WHILE THE REST OF THE TRIBE
CHANTED : DEATH BY MOUMBAH! DEATH BY MOUMBAH! DEATH BY MOUMBAH!
JOKE TURNED IN BY EXCALIBUR OF ESCAPE
