I bet if you could make midget elephants or giraffes, you could sell them as pets.

I'd sure as hell buy one.

But I wouldn't put it in the fridge...

I like my large mammals at room temperature. I imagine they are like bananas and might turn black and get a yukky texture if you put them in the fridge. Why the hell would you want an elephant or giraffe in your fridge anyway? They'd just eat all the cheese and drink all your beer.

Well, if one could genetically create a midget giraffe or elephant, they'd make a fortune in Japan...I mean, Bonsai pets would go down a treat.

Anyway, which has more trunks, an elephant or no elephant?

Down.....









Down........














Well, no elephant of course.

An elephant has only one trunk, but no elephant has two trunks.



What is grey, has four legs and a trunk?
















A mouse going on holidays.


What is brown, has four legs and a trunk, and never forgets?








The same mouse two weeks later, having lost his virginity.



What is yellow and goes ding-dong?











A chinese bus conductor.



What is brown and goes ding-dong?
















A brown ding-dong of course!



What is blue and goes ding dong?











A blue ding dong.



What's red and goes ding dong?














A fire engine, what else.


What's black and goes ding-dong?























Ditto, an hour later.



Now, I'm off to water my venus fly-trap. I've got a problem with bird-eating spiders.

Taxi for Bebsi!





An elephant and a mouse are walking down the road one day. The elephant looks down with a kind but condescending eye on the mouse and begins to boom in a rather pompous way:
'You know, I look upon myself, and see that I am tall, mighty, grand of girth, proud and strong. Then I look upon you, my friend, and I see that you are small, feeble, short of stature, meek, and I ask myself why is that? Why are you like that?'
The mouse says,
'Well, I've been ill, haven't I?'

No, not really, actually we're a bunch of losers who have little else to do apart from having a bit of fun here. Istanbul sucks in the summer. The creme de la creme of the Istanbul population who can afford not to work have all f.ucked off somewhere and replaced by the lumpen beings from the underdeveloped parts. We, the TEFLers, who work for 17ytl an hour have to stay and work under the miserable heat to be able to pay our rents and the beer. Grass looks greener from the other side of the fence. If we aren't living in Esher or Weybridge, it's because we can't afford it.

C'mon up to the Czech Rep. We have a heat wave, but our 36 high will probably seem mild to you guys... and we have the best beer in the world Very Happy . I'll buy you one. It's cheaper than water, after all!

Nonsense. The best thing about Istanbul is the summer. Obviously you just don't know where to go.
