A man should swallow a toad every morning to be certain of not encountering anything more disgusting in the course of the day. Nicholas de Chamfort
That must explain why Joseph had the poxy donkey!
ReplyDeleteYeah I wonder if many virgins think of the annunciation when they go get themselves pregnant. Those Holy spirit visits can be life changing.
ReplyDeleteEnough of this pregnant talk - we'll be having pop stars showing up in eggs soon.
I blame the lavatory seats these days...
ReplyDeleteOf course, another possibility is that the girlfriend could be a hermaphrodite.
ReplyDeleteHere's another one for your collection

It's when she starts getting other women pregnant that she'll get a full centre spread in Take a Break magazine.

Seems he believes in parthogenesis... 'went and got herself pregnant'...
ReplyDeleteYou never hear the word "poxy" over here.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I have to scour the British blogs to get my fix of UK slang.
xl - Joseph's donkey might have got the pox from one of the stable hands though
ReplyDeleteLisleman - Don't pop stars gestate within Simon Cowell?
Kevin - you sound experienced - have you picked up anything interesting from a lavatory seat?
xl - more likely the girlfriend is a scapegoat.
Nursey - that's a good one xx
MJ - you could just come and visit to get your fix of UK slang - come for cake at our place and I'll use slightly naughty words at you
Girls are always doing that. Cheer up -- you're not pregnant!
ReplyDeleteShe must be huge if he needs a van to transport her.
ReplyDeleteClearly a diabolical plot on the girlfriend's part to get access to the brother's van. The lengths some young women will go to (about that of a turkey baster, I'd say) to get their selfish wants met!
ReplyDeleteBugger! XL did the donkey joke. So you're left with my observation that he shouldn't need a "shaggin' wagon" if the girl is already compromised.
ReplyDeleteThe things some people will do to get a new car. I'd just ask nicely.
ReplyDeleteMr Red - Not with child but also without van
ReplyDeleteEryl - I guess they fear that an ambulance might not be available when the time comes
louciao and Glory - women and their diabolical plots - tuh!
MIT - I wonder if that's where they plan to live.
Mme DeF - I'd want a lot more than a van for getting pregnant
