RamadaN mubarak
I have just been to my local Supermarket, the manager there must have a sence of humour.
I was shoving my trolly up and down the aisles and in the aisle where the Smoked Ham, Bacon , Pork products was , was a big notice hanging down.
A picture of a Mosque and underneath in big letters was RAMADAN MUBARAK.and the other side in Arabic,
IT MEANS ..... "Have a happy and blessed Ramadan.".
Now seeing that we are in the middle of the fast season in the Holy month of Ramadan the big notice was over all the Pork products.
None anywhere else.
Es Salaam u-alakum.
Brian.

One for Brian.
Off the track here sorry.
I was drinking in Friscos when a sheila caught my eye
She had a ring through her nose and a tatt on her thigh
I asked for her name and she said, "I'm Fran"
And she smelt like a horse and danced like a WRAN
I asked if she liked country western or rock
And she screamed, "I like sailors and plenty of c88k!"
She said, "Come on Jack are you game for a laff ?"
So we jumped in a taxi and went back to her gaff
Now the house was in Redfern and on the front door
Was a crest from each ship that had been there before
I said to her "F88k Fran that's impressive to see"
As it looked like she'd been on more ships than me!
It smelled like the mess after a big run ashore
There were lanyards and tally bands all over the floor
She walked to the window and sat on the ledge
I put my hand down her undies and felt her meat and two veg
I tried to get out, but she had hold of my poker
It was then that I realied that Fran was an ex kellick stoker
I ran out out of the door and onto the street
With my strides around my ankles and nothing on my feet
Thank god I escaped and gave praise to the Lord
Got KFC and a taxi and went back on board
So, if you're in Sydney and bump into Fran
Just remember she's a stoker and her real name is Dan

Hi John.
It just seemed a bit odd that the sign for a happy Ramadan should have been hanging over all the Pork products and no where else. I must admit I fell over laughing when I saw it.

Es Salaam u-alakum, Ramadan Mubarak.
Brian.
