A Little Joke

[griff_500]

A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began
to understand how the magician did every trick.

Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show,
"Look, It's not the same hat!" or, "Look, he's hiding the flowers
under the table!" or "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?"

The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the Captain’s' parrot.

Then one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning almost all who were on board. The magician luckily found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea, as fate would have it ... with the parrot.

They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word.
This went on for a day... and then 2 days ... and then 3 days. Finally on the 4th day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said...


"OK, I give up. Where's the f #ckin' ship?"

The only big joke I know is my big wobbly belly.

A TVR man per-chance???

Hi Horza,

Ex TVR man. Beautiful Griff 500 in stricking Ferarri yellow. Was used by a famous photographer in a TV show and a coffee table book.
The trouble was I kinda got fed up of going round right handers and the passenger door flying open so got rid. Great fun going from 18mph to 170 (indicated - allegedly) without changing gear.

I have stuck with the name as I think it makes me sound windswept and interesting. Also better than scoobydoo.

Cheers
A

lol same here actually. My avatar relates to my now dead S2000.

But it's more interesting than an Alfa 156 avarar

You a PHer?

 

[griff_500]

I hope Honda dont see what you have done to their logo.

What is a PHer?? Someone interested in the acidity of fish tank water??

Heh, I think I've changed it by more than 30%....

Being a forum user, I thought you may be into the pistonheads(PH) forums.

If you like your cars then you should pistonheads(dot)com

 

[griff_500]

Oh, I get it now.
Heard of PH but not been on. Will have to take a look.

Bit of a car and bike nut. Not too much in the way of bikes of late (last was Duke Monster circa 2003) as I am getting a bike old and my poor knee hates the cold.
I think the best car I had (fun wise) was a Evo V Tommy Mack. It revved so freely it felt like a two stroke.
I was in the griff one day and my business partner was in the evo. At a speed a tad over the national limit he was flashing the headlights for me to get out of the way and went past me like I was going backwards.
I want a Samrtuki. Check out smartuki(dot)com.

WOW!

That little thing looks crazy.

There's a youtube vid of a guy ragging it at Silverstone. He must be doing about 140 on the straight :O

Don't think I'd be going that fast in one though. I reckon it probably has a propensity for swapping ends at high speed. Not to mention lift-off oversteer!

 

[griff_500]

Try searching smart+hyabassa (excuse spelling if wrong) on you tube. There is a vid of a guy racing a ferarri and winning.

I have a smart for bombing around town in. Its great fun to race all the young escort boys in and particularly fathers with young (about 8-10 years) kids. It must be an embarrassment thing. hahaha
Run them in manual not auto, be smooth and they actually will go round corners. Not like Stig on top gear that time.
