Try this on your British Friends....

[JDub]

Grab an unopened packet of cigarettes off someone. Gently pull or cut off the plastic wrapper only removing one of the ends and leaving the rest of it intact. Stand it up on the table with the open end down. Then ask your resident brit "what is this?". After they say something like "no idea" or some lame attempt at humour, you can fill them in that it is an "English trophy cabinet".

Huh??? :confused:

[JDub]

Not a smoker Wendy? Neither am I... I had to read it twice before I got it...... (clear plastic wrapper)

[craigb]

Nope. Still don't get it. :confused:

[JDub]

ok ok so its a really bad joke ;)

Let me explain it....

When you carefully take off the outside clear security wrapper (without ripping it) from a pack of darbs it is in the shape of a rectangular clear box right? Turn that upside down on and place it upright on the table and now it looks like a clear miniature rectangular glass cabinet yeah? An empty one.....

sigh, I think the impact has been lost.... LOL :rolleyes: Read the santa joke, that one is kinda funny ;)

[silentC]

Oh dear, come on you lot :rolleyes:

:p

[Daddles]

Ohhhhhh, I get it. From your description, I imagined the pack of smokes still being in it ... no wonder it didn't work for me.

Guess who's too busy doing woodwork to even think about cricket :o

[rtfarty]

Yeah they may have the Webb Ellis trophy but like the Ashes it won't be for much longer.
You Aussies can have the Ashes but my money is on the All Blacks for the Webb Ellis.

Happy Christmas to you all.
