I think you should look at &quot; running shoes&quot; and &quot; Aix marks the spot&quot;

We had a wonderful travel-related limerick thread that &quot;bit the dust&quot; at some point before registration. I think it was &quot;Drunk Mom's Limericks&quot; or something like that -- it was a followup on another historic thread which still exists I think ... but I can't find the ham tacos either :(

Your spelling of 'humour' is alright in my part of the world! In fact, if you spelt it without the u you would be in serious trouble with teacher....ooo errr!!

(Apologies in advance for telling an ethnic joke.)<BR><BR>The train was very crowded, so the soldier walked the length of the train, looking for an empty seat.<BR><BR>The only unoccupied seat was directly adjacent to a well-dressed middle-aged lady and was being used by her little dog. The war weary soldier asked, &quot;Please, ma'am, may I sit in that seat?&quot;<BR><BR>The French woman looked down her nose at the soldier, sniffed and said, &quot;You Americans. You are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my Little Fifi is using that seat?&quot;<BR><BR>The soldier walked away, determined to find a place to rest, but after another trip down to the end of the train, found himself again facing the woman with the dog. Again he asked, &quot;Please, lady. May I sit there? I'm very tired.&quot;<BR><BR>The French woman wrinkled her nose and snorted, &quot;You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant. Imagine!&quot;<BR><BR>The soldier didn't say anything else; he leaned over, picked up the little dog, tossed it out the window of the train and sat down in the empty seat.<BR><BR>The woman shrieked and railed, and demanded that someone defend her and chastises the soldier.<BR><BR>An English gentleman sitting across the aisle spoke up, &quot;You know, sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you've thrown the wrong b*!ch out the window.&quot;

I don't know...I thought RufusTFirefly's response on the &quot;pirate cruise&quot; thread was pretty funny. :p
