The seagull flock were down in Dorset with the Grims last week-end for Vinyl Saturday in Bridport. On Sunday we went to Lyme Regis and I spotted the following poster in a shop window...

I don't get it. What's the problem with this? Is the term "fossil" used in some manner that is not obvious to me? Is it the term "hunting"? Is it his photograph? What?

Winky,

'Give you one' means 'to offer your wares for the delectation of another'. The other person seems to be a passive player.

Does that help?

I was afraid that was all there is to it. But...

I think it is quite a stretch to find that funny. "he will give you one". What is this, Benny Hill? I'm not offended, but don't find it funny in the slightest.

Each to their own.

Lo Winky.

It's the deeply childish part of English humour. Most of us never outgrow it thank the gods. Without a chortle at such sillyness we might be in danger of becoming serious. Eek Razz

Yeah that's us, maybe we never grow up or we have been reading the Viz for too long.

I remember a friend quite drunk in a chip shop after kicking out time. He hears a voice from the back shout out 'stick me a big sausage in love' without a hint of irony. My friend was wetting himself and the rest of the queue never batted an eye lid. Each to their own Big Grin

If he was Scotish it would probably read; "If you don't find a fossil he'll LEND you one"...

BTW. I'm Scottish and so is my wife.

Seems to be a humour - free lot around here. Roll Eyes

Or is it just me who thought conortsun's post was an actual honest to goodness joke??

And amusing too.
