Mel (& Paul) Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and the other called Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that inhabited the area. Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm fed up with being a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten." A large mysterious cod appeared and said, "Your wish is granted", and lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate. Time passed (as it invariably does) and Justin found life as a shark boring and lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin didn't realise that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight. While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again and he thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn. He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn. With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail. (The punch line does not involve a prawn cocktail - it's much worse). Looking around the gathering at the reef he realised he couldn't see his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked. "He's at home, still distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark", came the reply. Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he set off to Christian's abode. As he opened the coral gate memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again. "Christian replied, "No way man, you'll eat me. You're now a Shark, the enemy, and I'll not be tricked into being your dinner." Justin cried back "No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed."..................... >>>> >> >>>> >> >>>> >> >>>> >> >>>> > >>>> >> "I've found Cod. I'm a prawn again Christian" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Reminds me of a joke my brother told me years ago and I've just found again by doing a Google... So this Irish fisherman goes out to check his lobster pots off Mousehole in Cornwall, and lo and behold, what does he find in one? A green octopus, with big bulging eyes, a little green moustache, and long tentacles that it waves around. Now when he has it on the boat, he waves the club round to kill it, but it stares at him with his big bulging eyes, a little green moustache, and long tentacles that it waves around, and Paddy the fisherman goes, oh no, to be sure to be sure, I can't kill him, I'll just take him to Gervaise with that there French restaurant, he can kill the poor dear and cook him up for lunch. So, true to his word, Paddy takes the green octopus, with the big bulging eyes, a little green moustache, and long tentacles that it waves around, to gervaise the French restaurateur, and Gervaise says, mon dieu, sacre bleu, c'est un octopus vert! Tres bon, c'est le dejeuner des champions! And he waves the club to kill it, and it stares at him with it's big bulging eyes, a little green moustache, and long tentacles that it waves around, and he cant do it. So he says (en francais, of course), I know, I'll take it to that mean German kid, the one working as a bus boy for the summer, he'll kill it, and we'll have green octopus for lunch. So he takes the octopus to Hans, who is just finishing off the washing up, and says, Hans, kill this, and I will cook it for lunch. So Hans raises the club, and looks at the octopus, which stares stares at him with it's big bulging eyes, a little green moustache, and long tentacles that it waves around, and her just cant do it, which just goes to show… That Hans that do dishes can go soft as Gervaise with mild green furry lip squid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
