I was in the Grafton one night and one of the girls I asked to dance, said `Go Away, I saw you going into Doc Ross`s this morning.`
I was all clear as well.

Remember once on leave asking a nice young lady for a date.
She said no, I don't want any of your foreign diseases.
I replied I've just seen the doctor and I'm clear.
Even that didn't work.
Just cant please some folk!

I have just been in town today, only go in about once every three months just to the bank.
I thought I had emmigrated, never heard a word of English spoken, I had to find the Town Hall to make sure I was still here.
So we have lots of Tourists that speak with the language of the Khyber and the North West Frontier, and all wearing strange exotic clothing from the Arabian Nights stories, also we had many visitors from Rumania, Poland and Estonia.
I havent seen many tourists from the USA or Australia or Canada, I wonder why not, we are on the Internaional tourist trail.
Es salaam, [ see I am learning some of these interesting languages].

A British Navy Destroyer stops four ******s in a row boat, rowing towards England . "The captain gets on the loud hailer and shouts
"Ahoy, small craft, where are you heading?"
One of the ******s stands up and shouts,
"We are invading the UK!"
The crew of the Destroyer all start laughing and when the captain finally stops laughing, he gets back on the loud hailer and says
"Just the four of you?"
The ****** stands up again and shouts,
"No, we're the last four. The rest are already there!"
