I straightened up a wire coat hanger to measure it and stuck it up my nose, my eyes watered so much I couldn't read the ruler.

Re: True or False
#5. If it was a Chinese coat hanger Des may of had a built in self destruct mechanism to prevent you measuring it as may be classified material , as probably like most things in the apparel side , they always seem to be short of material , either that or I am putting on more weight than I think. Hope it is not a sign of them cutting back on our iron ore exports to them. If the media catch sight of this email it will be headline news soon , the next thing will be a war footing as the headlines . Cheers JS

Don't tell me you took your pulse every time you DID it. I can just imagine, "Hang on a minute dear I just missed a beat there."

Re: True or False
his is very pun filled !
Thank goodness for the Brits Love their play on words.
In the UK, some supermarkets have admitted that there is horse meat in their home cooked burgers.
Even places like Burger King have had to admit that there are "small amounts" of horse meat in their burgers.
Tesco is a big supermarket chain in the UK.
Within hours of the news that Tesco's 'all beef hamburgers' contained 30% horse meat. The following quips hit the Internet:
I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse. I guess Tesco just listened!
Anyone want a burger from Tesco? Yay or neigh?
Not entirely sure how Tesco is going to get over this hurdle.
Had some burgers from Tesco for supper last night. I still have a bit between my teeth.
A woman has been taken into hospital after eating horse meat burgers from Tesco. Her condition is listed as stable.
Tesco are now testing all their vegetarian burgers for traces of unicorn.
"I've just checked the Tesco burgers in my freezer ... "AND THEY'RE OFF!"
Tesco is now forced to deny the presence of zebra in burgers, as shoppers confuse barcodes for serving suggestions.
I said to my spouse, "These Tesco burgers give me the trots...
"To beef or not to beef, that is equestrian".....
A cow walks into a bar. Barman says, "Why the long face? Cow says "Illegal ingredients are coming over here stealing our jobs!"
I hear the smaller version of those Tesco burgers make great horse d'oeuvres.
These Tesco burger jokes are going on a bit. Talk about flogging a dead horse.
Since they're selling the meat wrapped in plastic, is that technically a "Trojan Horse?"
Instead of choosing "rare, medium or well done, it's now Win, Place or Show"
At first, I thought, "Oh great, I've been saddled with another email to forward, but something spurred me to do it.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
