I'm just saying that the joke has been around for ages, i'm surprised you never heard it before. Ah well.... it's not important anyway, just forget it.

Im confused harrisburgh was closed?????
Never seen that before. Do you know why it was closed? Like maybe a natural diaster or somthing?

It's a joke cloud. If you don't know the joke then you don't understand the phrase. PM someone about the clue or something...

Talking of Benny Hill this thread does appear to be running round in circles quite amusingly...

Yes it's an old joke, a town or city would have to be very small to be able to close it. It's like saying "I went to harrisburg for a week one afternoon".

Anyway - it was closed. I flew from Heathrow to Newark arriving at Port Authority to catch the first Greyhound out - wherever it was going. It turned out to be Indianapolis, a total journey time from home to hotel of 36 hours. No sleep at all during this time, no drinks or food. We arrive at Harrisburg at 2 am and the Greyhound station is all locked up. Couldn't even get a drink of water. The bus driver was apologetic, it's always locked after midnight. I had to wait until 7 am the next morning, I've never enjoyed a Burger King breakfast as much as I enjoyed that one.

okies...i realize harrisburg may not be a big city, infact york is bigger (at least population wise) but i doubt the whole city was shut down.

also bk always makes the best fast food breakfasts, imo.
