Two windmills standing in a field. One says to the other, "What's your favourite type of music?" The other replies, "I'm a big metal fan."

One of my friends went to live in Switzerland.
I asked him, “why did you want to live in Switzerland?”
He said, “well, their flag was a big plus.”

:lol: Good jokes, Dsr and Barnard - though the English flag could also be said to be "a big plus"!

They were looking for "X" when I was in school - surely it's time to give up?

I suppose after some time Peter would happily become Fatty's sidekick.

The above is clearly American, judging from the spelling of "humor" — and I'd like to know exactly why "Aussie humor [sic]" is placed at the bottom. Ours is in fact very nearly as sophisticated as that of the British, from whom we gained much of it. But that's a point that may easily be lost on Americans, of course. :roll: :evil: :twisted:

(Of course, it could be that the Aussies are at the bottom in boats because they're trying to get away from the whole thing. :P)

I suppose the creator of this illustration doesn't understand Australians' humour and put it therefore at the bottom - or rather plunged it into the sea.
