I will not be able to believe a word you say - situation normal.

I find it fascinating that for although Puce claims to NOT be a troll
and asks to be left alone, she starts a thread with this title and
then proceeds to keep putting in snippets from other's posts that is
simply guaranteed to keep the arguments going.

She short a few kangaroos in the paddock, a few tinnies short of a
party, and hasn't got all her chairs at home.

Haven't heard those before! The Italian equivalent is "he's missing a
few
Fridays", which is a really weird one.

A sandwich short of a picnic..
A penny short of a shilling.....
"a sausage short of a barbecue

A bicycle short of a surrealist convention

Lobster.

That presumably is the post-modern, content free punchline to the standard
surrealist joke in Devon.
In Dublin it used to be:

Man walks into a bakery and asks for a loaf of bread.
Baker asks: white or brown?
man says: it's ok; I left my bicycle outside.

The other standard angle is to involve a haddock or member of the cod family
at least.

Makes me think of the Irish joke where Paddy and Seamus go into a café and
the waitress comes up to ask what they'd like. Paddy says "I'd like a
quickie", so the waitress cuffs him round the ear and storms off. He looks
at Seamus and says "what did I do" and Seamus says "er, Paddy, I think it's
pronounced 'keesh'".
We had a tape of a fabulous Irish comedian telling a never-ending stream of
Irish jokes but the machine chewed it up and we can't remember his name.
No, not Dave Allen!
