This made me laugh!

From my local French freecycle group:

Donne : body 1 mois, 3 mois, 6 mois bébé fille

Donne means give by the way

Reading the rest of the blurb I guess a body is a rompersuit type of thing but did think it was funny to be giving away not just a couple of bodies (the one and 3 months might have meant how long they'd been dead ) but also a 6 month old baby girl.

The french do have a funny way of using english don't they!
I heard a good one the other night whilst watching an American cop show. The scenario was that the detectives had gone to a football field to interview a couple of players. The coach came over and said to them "are you going to walk off or am I going to have to toss you off?" I guess it doesn't mean the same in the US!

The british words seem to change their meaning quite fast. I found a booklet for employees (my father-in-laws) dated from 1953. One of the rules referred to not "using a shafting motion" !! I cannot recall the exact wording and still dont know what it really referred to!!

We can't help our toilet sense of humour can we?

I have been teaching population to my Year 9 class. Yesterday we were examining reasons for the high rate of population growth. When I marked their books, one of them had written "people die more slowly these days" - I know what he meant but it conjured images of slow, painful deaths!

Actually maybe the child had a point, we do rather prolong death rather than extend life at times!!
