This one if from the Political Compass's FAQ page. I read it straight through without getting the joke - I only noticed it because I re-read it. It's one of the best jokes I've read in a long time. It was the unexpectedness after the serious and meaningful answers preceeding it
When are you guys gonna learn to spell ?
This grievance comes from those who aren't aware that British and American spellings sometimes differ.

We've been at the centre of some rancour, but we're not going to take offence or harbour any grievances. The catalogue of complaints won't colour this organisation's programme. It's a grey area anyway. And we don't want to labour the point.
I count eight. am I right there?

rancour - rancour ?!?!
you misspelt your brit version of 7 too.

the ones I missed were 2, 7 and I think 4 (the first two I didn't even know COULD be spelt differently, and i just missed harbour)

We spell it "rancor", not "rancour" - Ghost mistyped.

Grey / gray are both used here, but gray is more common.

Catalogue
Offence
Grey

are all considered to be valid alternate spellings in the american idiom although offence is more 'English' than offense.

Battlin' Emails

A beer test--
Yesterday scientists suggested that, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption.

The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) and drinking it makes men turn into women. To test the theory, 50 men were fed 6 pints of beer each within a one hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men:
1. Talked excessively without making sense
2. Became overly emotional (I love you man!)
3. Couldn't drive
4. Failed to think rationally
5. Argued over nothing
6. Had to sit down while urinating and
7. Refused to apologize even when obviously wrong.

No further testing was considered necessary.



You know what's really scary about this story? Phytoestrogens are REAL and they're IN BEER.
http://www.fibrocystic.com/phyto.htm
Licorice, Red Clover, Yucca, Hops (Beer) and Motherwort
Zava, PhD showed that these herbs stimulated estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cells to grow. Red Clover and Yucca were found to be equal in potency to estradiol at the same concentrations. Women who harvest hops for beer begin menstruating 2 days later anecdotally. Zava has confirmed that beer has a significant amount of phytoestrogens that have moderate estrogen activity from hops used in the flavoring of beer.


There, there brad, it'll be okay. :crazy:

Redneck jokes....though I think I be the only one around here....

A Redneck buys a ticket and wins the lottery. He goes to Austin to claim it and the man verifies his ticket number. The Redneck says, "I want my $20 million."

The man replied, "No, sir. It doesn't work that way. We give you a million today and then you'll get the rest spread out for the next 19 years."

The Redneck said, "Oh, no. I want all my money right now! I won it and I want it."

Again, the man explain that he would only get a million that day and the rest during the next 19 years.

The Redneck, furious with the man, screams out, "Look, I want my money! If you're not going to give me my $20 million right now, then I want my dollar back!"
If this is the definition of a redneck......I hope to be remembered as being one!

You might be a redneck if. .

it never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under
God. . "

you've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

you still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."

you bow your head when someone prays.

you stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

you treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

you've never burned an American flag.

you know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

you respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

you'd give your last dollar to a friend.

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up. Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of. I hope I am one of them.
