Just thought you might wonder the meaning of spunk.

:E :E

One of the greatest lines in a TV program was on the Mary Tyler Moore program. Lou Grant asked Mary to come into his office and he told her that she had a lot of spunk.

Marys' face lit up and then Lou said" I hate spunk".

@ rotordk: Let's share the transportation costs for the truck... beer one way, licorice the other way

@ LOOSE NUT: there is nothing worse in the world than Red Bull

to the rest of you guys... now, does that mean that I better log in with a different nickname :(

Interesting the way this thread has gone.. we started off with an innocent observation about the boys and girls who post on here, which I admittedly hijacked somewhat for a quick lighthearted swipe at Johnny Foreigner:p No ofence intended fellas;)

So now we are on to bodily fluids (My definition of the word "spunk") was this brought on by whirlybirds liberal references to her figure / underwear?? I dread to think where its going to go next:E

Whirly, I realy was keeping you female types, in a separate catagory, simple because your (female) logic is not tuned into the male waves, Males always, as can be clearly seen in this thread have a sexual undertone to whatever they consider, or think.

It is very interesting to see how quickly a pretty sensible question with a little accelerant can bring out the ability to call another person( a Forigner) for their lack of National Humour.

:p

I hate being called a Forigner. My main objection is :
1. I don't know what it is
2. Why did you have to bring my sister into this ?
3. Where do you know my sister from ?
4. She's already married to some foreigner, so seek somewhere else, pal !

Is it just me, or has our whole point about European humour just been highlighted??:)

RotorDk,

hey you Johnny foriegners always go on about us Brits, but we saw how your lot did things, and decided we could do it better, and lo, most of the educated world speaks,... what was that, yes thats right ENGLISH!

Matey,

Yes, you are so right! seems that humour is somthing that most of the western world have naturally, but once across the channel it seems that all the serious folk live over there,

I suppose thats why we are here, and most other people want to come here!

A bit touchy about the relatives as well...

maybe we ought to start a new thread, "The best European jokes in the world... ever!" or "Europe, you can smile, it won't hurt"

I predict no hits and no replies:ok:

Vfrpilotpb : A bit paranoid, are we ? I never said anything negative about the virtues of the english langauge.....
With regards to British history, need I remind you of the takeover of your country by a bunch of farmboys.......vikings :-)
Not need to argue of things in the past, and we did give it back to you !!

So your welcome !!

Rotordk,

Nothing wrong with a bit of R**pe and pillage, the problem was your farm boys were just that, no manners, didn't ever say Thankyou!:ouch:
