Hello George!

Okey.

 GP> Give it a try!  Translating from what language to English?

Danish, it's a langauge familiar to German. It's spoken in Denmark, north
part of Europe, scandinavia.

 BS>> Oh, but there is written rules right?

 GP> Yup, posted each first of the month, or within a few days thereof. . .

Okey.. :)

Heh :) It's good to have a echo, where you just can turn your mind off ;)

 BS>  GP>> Vancouver, British Columbia Humour
 BS>>
 BS>> Damn you must be freezing :)

 GP> Why?

I thought british colombia was a very cold place, but yesterday I looked at
the map and noticed that Vancoucer was very close to Seattle, and there is
not so cold :-)

 GP> It's been in the upper 20's most of the summer (that's Celcius, of
 GP> course!)

That's nice, it has been about 30 degrees here.

 BS>  GP>>   does it ever stop raining around here?"
 BS>  GP>>   The kid says,  "How  should I know? I'm only 6."
 BS>>
 BS>> LOL! A kid in London would say the same  :)

 GP> So I've heard! Actually, I guess a lot of these so-called Vancouver
 GP> rain jokes could play well in London or Seattle(just south of here)

I bet so :) London (or the hole GB) is in a unlucky place where there is
often raining.

 BS>  GP>> * What did the Vancouver native say to the Pillsbury
 BS>  GP>> Doughboy?
 BS>  GP>>   "Nice tan."
 BS>>
 BS>> Huh?

 GP> The Pillsbury Doughboy is doughy-white -- that's DARK compared to the

Oh! :)

 GP> Anyway, we don't tan in Vancouver -- we RUST!!!

Heh!!

 BS>> Damn sad, I don't have any funny jokes from my Area/Country :/

 GP> Have you ever told me where that is? I might have some. . . :)

Roennede, Denmark, I'm living in the south part of Denmark, we got a very
nice wheather here in the summer :)

 BS>  GP>> Well, do pop in and post your favourite joke(s), ok? :)

 BS>> As i wrote, they are at my native language, and maybe they won't
 BS>> be funny if i translate them but I'll have a try someday :)

 GP> Don't be shy! :)

Gotta try then I hear some good ones :) Us danes like the tell stupid jokes
about Blond girls :)

Q: "How can you see that a Blond has been using the computer"
A: "There is lipstick on a Joystick" :)

 GP> The definition of "funny" is very lax in there!  If the primary
 GP> intent/content is "funny" -- it fits the rule!

Good :)

Bo
