h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

(adapted from a Monty Python thing which I only half remember)

Never be rude to an Arab,
An Israeli, or Saudi, or Jew.
Never be rude to an Irishman,
A Pathan, or Pole or Hindu.

Don’t pull the leg of a German,
A Swede or a Fin or a Dane.
Don’t pull the leg of an Antipodean
A Buddhist, a Zen or a Jane.

Don’t ever poke fun at a n----r,
A s--c, or a w-- p, or sour k-----s.
But if you poke fun at Americans
You really had better watch out

Oh, a bulletin: Soon, the word 'Belgian' will be useful ONLY as a cuss word.

The country is being cannibalised for parts. The Walloons are joining the French, and the German ones the Federal Republic.

Flanders will stand alone...this is terrible...

Oh, sorry - I think the German Belgians were planning to join Luxembourg, not Germany.

Ah - the country that other countries go through to invade others and so small that they had to develop special, small cabbages (Dennis Norden)

They don't have any connection with Belgium here, but are called rose cabbages.

They don't have any connection with anything so why wasn't the comment deleted as 'off-topic'?

Don't count your chickens and all that.

I wonder how early we'll see Easter eggs in the shops.

























Oops, it says 'no subject not 'any subject', sowwy.

When the huns invaded frogland,
In the second worldwide war,
They marched straight through a country,
That no-one knew before.

But what they didn't realise,
As the marched through marsh and fen,
Was that Ol' Bighty's 'tato chips
Were invented by these me.

men - or is that a politically incorrect word now?

Oh, another post gone. I wonder what it was?

Before we join the bandwagon, of castigating mods,
Understand the jurisdiction of the mindless little sods,
Great Auntie BeBe's mantle of education of us all,
Go stand in farthest corner if your language doth appal,
Erudition ain't important, what really is the fight,
Remember that correctness is politically right,
Ev'ry time you want to say that somebody's a saint,
Maybe they might just understand you said he was a runt.

Was that the modded post?

It was me - I confess- possibly the word 'fen' or 'Ol' Blighty'

OOh, thats you on the naughty step then PBS.

Thank f´goodness for uncensored email.

Cheers, PBS

Just rushing the pules - out of insatiable curtiosity, of course. Way, way back, we/I used to listen to 'disgusted Tunbridge Wells' on Any Answers. Now 'Have Your Say' means that 'journalists' are unnecessary as Auntie and the rest let the sanctimonious rule. And the dumb idiots are so blind as to read not see anything but what they want to see.

*like the Spy, coming in from the cold*

It's beautiful outside, but chilly. Cold as the unmentionable body part of a female practitioner of an outmoded religion...

I see you have been busy annoying the filtration system again.

Well, you can bet That I have no idea which word could possibly have triggered the filter. Maybe it triggered somebody's finger.

And I am 64% naive, according to the Minnesota Multiphasic.
