How do you tell the difference between a chemist and a blue collar worker?
Ask them to read out the word 'unionised'.

There are real traffic laws governing the right-of-way at a 4 way stop. My comment was a joke but apparently that went right over your head. ... Jokes contain truth in them, we have no such joke like that over here. Given you kill 40,000 people a year over there I think you need to refresh your dri...

"Don't you meant a martini?", says the barman
The Roman replies, "If I'd wanted a double I'd have asked for one!"

A second Roman walks into the bar, holds up two fingers, and says, "Five beers, please."

I’ve known people who have paid high prices for private schooling and they couldn’t afford it. It’s worth it. A proper overall education without being ...

I call myself an atheist, but, honestly, I don't know what I am. With absolutely no evidence that 'anyone' is there to justify it, I've spent many a desperate moment asking for assistance.

What we do have good research data on is the number of Muslims in First World countries like the UK and Canada who support Sharia law, who believe suicide bombing is jus...

Well, as I'm sure you appreciate by now, that depends on the context. There is no context, that I can imagine, in which n***** just means black and certainly none that I have read or heard.
