I tried this once but found it a real PITA !

An Indian went to a dentist  in U S A for tooth extraction and first enquired about cost.  Dentist said 1200 $, the Indian thought it was too much.

After some thought, he asked about cheaper methods.

The dentist said, Yes, it can be done without anesthesia and will cost only 300$,but it would  be very very painful.

Indian said OK Dr, do it without anesthesia.

The dentist removed the tooth without anesthesia  and during the entire procedure the Indian sat  quietly, even smiling a little.

The dentist was not only surprised, but was quite impressed and said 
I have never seen such a brave patient like you. I don't even want my fees, instead, take this 500$ as a reward, you've taught me such a powerful lesson today about mastering one's pain and feelings !!!

In the evening he met his fellow dentists and told everyone about his amazing Indian patient.

Out of all doctors, one doctor jumped up and shouted that Indian  first came to me, I gave him anesthesia and asked him to wait outside for half an hour ! After half an hour when I called him he had left !

Struth she's flamin hot cobber,  time for a cold one...

English can be a little strange at times.

 

When refrigerator is shortened to fridge, where does the 'd' come from?

 

I blame the French.

 

What the frig are you talking about. Friggin hell.

1. We all love to spend money buying new clothes but you should stop
     and realize that the best moments in life are enjoyed without clothes.

2. Having a cold drink on a hot day with a few friends is nice,
     but having a hot friend on a cold night after a few drinks - priceless.

3. Breaking News: Condoms don't guarantee safe sex anymore.
     A friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot dead by the woman's husband.

4. Arguing over a girl's bust size is like choosing between
     Molson, Heineken, Carlsberg and Budweiser.
     Men may state their preferences but will grab whatever is available.

5. A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight
     live longer than the men who mention it.

6. On average, a British man under 75 will have sex two to three times a week,
     whereas a Japanese man the same age will have sex only one or two times a year.
    This is very upsetting news to many of my friends,
     as they were unaware that they were Japanese!
