Re: UK: Dutch Petrol Firm Shell Suspends 'Chip-and-Pin' Payments

 Heh. Perhaps if they used a green Ghecko to peddle their wares.  :)

 We have Texas, y'all have ESSEX ... prisoner exchange anyone? I suspect we'd make out in the end over here on this 
side of the puddle. Heh. Newfound land ain't so far away, y'all.   (grin)

 A monkey is sitting in a tree smoking a joint, when a lizard walks past, looks up, and says to the monkey "Hey, 
what're you doing?" The monkey replies, "Smokin' a joint, come up and have some." So the lizard climbs up the  tree, 
sits next to the monkey, and they smoke a few joints.

 After a while the lizard says his mouth is 'dry' and he's going to the river to get a drink.

 The lizard climbs down the tree and staggers over to the river to get a drink of water, but he is so stoned, he leans 
over too far and falls into the river.

 A crocodile sees this, swims over to the lizard and helps him to the side. Then he asks the lizard, "What's the matter 
with you?"

 The lizard explains to the crocodile that he was sitting up in a tree with a monkey smoking pot, got too stoned and 
then fell into the river while taking a drink.

 The crocodile says he has to check this out, and wanders off into the jungle. He finds the tree where the monkey is 
sitting finishing up a joint. The crocodile yells up to the monkey and says "Hey!"

 The monkey looks down and says, "Phuuuuuuuuuuuck........Dude! How much water did you drink?!"

 Moo! (our trademark here for "udderly hideous kludge") ... heh.
