Wonder how many I get on this one? Got numerous already quoting the law regarding impersonation... Want fast service? Then try this..... The other day I needed to go to the local NHS hospital but not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my blue jacket and pinned on a plastic ID card that I had made off the Internet onto the front of my jacket. When I went into the hospital, I noticed that 3/4 of the people got up and left. I guess they decided that they weren't that sick after all. Cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time. Here's the patch. Feel free to use it the next time you're in need of quicker emergency service. It also works at all supermarkets. It saves me hours.. At the Laundry, three minutes after entering, I had my choice of any machine, most still running! Don't try it at McDonald's though..... The whole staff disappeared and I never got my order !!!!! Also.......... never wear it while trying to get a taxi !! |

I would not have thought that going public about this was in your best interests, but that is up to you. OK it might be meant as a joke, but HMRC are not known for their sense of humour. For crying out loud! It was a "politically Incorrect" joke! I think Mark got the title of this thread "SPOT ON!" As WE CAN NO LONGER have a laugh & joke, lets all join together & shoot the hell out of each other! |

Sirius, you thought Chris's reply was serious? It was a joke reply. Gosh, as someone in a brilliant mode wrote, As WE CAN NO LONGER have a laugh & joke, lets all join together & shoot the hell out of each other! <SMILE> I mean, after all, if you want to post serious stuff, post it in the Politics message board. Oh --- oops -- never mind. |

I'd better not post the "Trucker's Ode" then, lest I get arrested for inciting racial hatred. As for the HMRC, they are more than welcome to try & take me on as that joke came from the HMRC in an e-mail addressed to me as the person has a great sense of humour & is well aware of my propensity for pranks. @BarryZ, I knew that Chris was serious! Ask me no questions & I'll tell you no lies! |

Hey, I wasn't serious, or even Sirius, but please, don't call me Shirley. By now, most of you should know that my sense of humour has no bounds, and takes no prisoners. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

But shirley you understand that the best of humor has an element of truth in it and it give the author a way out of being held accountable, in the same fashion as some books have been written, like "Animal Farm." I laughed at your humor when I first read it. The problem is, nobody can tell what I'm laughing at. Am I laughing at the surprise ending (another element of good humor), or am I laughing at how you made fun of those who support things like larger government and their just rewards? Well, it depends on who you are and what your philosophy is on government and my decision on whether or not I want to show you I agree with you, offend you, or console you. Orwell was a socialist, and that ain't no joke. ;) |

MacHamza On a more sirius note, he's you're problem now. Hope you give him his nice dessert as he's had a very long dinner here! |

MacHamza We have a nice hell hole prepared. I'm sure he'll do just fine in general population. About a week before he gets acquainted with the sharp end of a shiv. |

MacHamza Excellent. For breakfast on that day, I'd suggest giving him a BLT sandwich to see him off. |
