Some time ago, the French railroad company (SNCF) wanted to test the new high-speed train (TGV) front window resistance when hit by birds. So they borrowed an idea coming from England, which consisted in throwing chicken on the train window with a special cannon. Unfortunately, all the tests failed, the thrown chicken kept breaking the glass. So they told the English people that the system did not work at all. The reply was : "The chicken must be unfrozen before throwing them ..."

What a coincidence, I read this on another site only this morning but it was the US Air Force and the Royal Air Force. I've also heard it about Ireland and Italy. It is better known as Urban Myth number 758. ------------------ The Truth is in the Profile |

Some other perplexities
Why do ships carry cargo and shipments go by truck? Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? Why do we recite at a play and play at a recital? Where does the white in snow go when it melts? What is another word for thesaurus? Why do Wise man and Wise guy mean opposite things? ------------------ |

Uh this is from a friend in Canada...and uh, not my usual attempt at classy (snicker... ok, you all can stop snorting and guffawing....) but since I laughed when I read it...here it is:
Life Lessons on the Edge Four worms were placed in 4 jars First worm was placed in a jar filled with alcohol Second worm was placed in a jar filled with cigarette smoke Third worm was placed in a jar filled with sperm The last worm was placed in a jar filled with soil. After one day, First worm was dead; Second worm was dead; Third worm was dead; Fourth worm was still alive. Lesson: As long as you drink, smoke, and have sex you won't get worms! ------------------ Storm-Queen Purple Rose of the Black Knight [This message has been edited by Cloudbringer (edited 03-11-2001).] [This message has been edited by Cloudbringer (edited 03-11-2001).] |

LOL CB! Have to try one of those next time the telemarketer rings! I usually just say "WHAT?" "WHAT"? "WHAT?" and hang up.
Charlie - Good ones! LOL! I've always thought it funny when I see a bottle with a name like "Joe's 100% Natural Fruit Punch" and then the label says "Contains 3% fruit juice". ????????????? Moraine - Chicken projectiles? That had to be a funny scene to behold! ------------------ |
