The great chef put in much thyme while learning his craft in Amsterdam - he likes to call them his 'Holland days.'

Did you hear the one about the dyslexic, agnostic insomniac?







He'd lie awake all night long, wondering if there really is a dog. :huh:

i think Oinks on a mission to get the thread deleted. Can't say I blame him with the groantastic stuff posted so far; I don't know why I keep reading them - it's worse than the "amusing" bit on countdown.

Not a joke, but I always thought that this was an exceptionally clever anagram (seeing as this thread is about the English language):

A man, a plan, a canal... Panama!


Has anyone got amy other good ones like that?

Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

There was the chap with a fine view from his Italian hotel bathroom, who commented to his room-mate: "As I pee, Sir, I see Pisa."

Or the Japanese carmaker's advert extolling the combination of performance and protection in their vehicles: A Toyota. Race fast, safe car. A Toyota.

Or the regular in a Cajun diner placing his order: "Yo, Bob! Mug o'gumbo, boy!"
