What do you get when you cross a centipede with a parrot?
A walkie-talkie.
As serious birdwatching comments haven't worked I thought I'd threaten Mr Zen-Ray with bad jokes until he chooses me!
Copying me! Huh:eek!:
--------------------------------
Through her binoculars she could see it was Christiano Ronaldo, struggling
frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 20 foot shark!
The queen ordered the captain to change course to try and save the poor
man, but she knew the yacht's top speed would never get them there in time.
At that exact moment a speedboat containing three men wearing white England
shirts sped into view.
One of the men took aim at the shark and fired a harpoon into its ribs,
immobilising it instantly. The other two reached out and pulled Ronaldo
from the water and using long clubs beat the shark to death.
They bundled the bleeding, semi-conscious Ronaldo into the speedboat along
with the dead shark and prepared for a hasty departure when they heard
frantic calling .......
It was the Queen calling them to the yacht.
On reaching yacht the Queen went into raptures about the rescue and said to
Beckham, Rooney and Gerrard (for it was they!)
"I will give you a knighthood for your brave actions. I thought the England
team would hate Ronaldo after the world cup, but I see that my England team
are true heroes and should serve as models for sportsmanship to other
countries."
She knighted them there and then.
As they departed, Rooney asked the others, "Who was that?"
"That," Beckham answered, "was our Queen. She rules the Commonwealth and
knows everything an' all kinds a stuff about our country."
"Well," Rooney replied, "she definitely knows ****-all about shark fishing.
How's the bait holding up?"
