Goose Liver Pate'?

  I went for lunch in West Smithfield where the following exchange took place:

Foie Gras Protester proclaims loudly: "Can you think of anything worse than having a tube put down your throat and getting force fed until your liver explodes"
Subtle Passerby after a moments thought: "ye, GETTING F***ED UP THE ARSE!"

Sex mad mum

Had this fella in the back of the cab once.....

  Was down Oxford Street and this taxi pulls up with a bag woman passenger.
The driver says "That will be six quid luv"
She says "but I ain't got enough money, I told ya"
Then follows with "How about a quick w**k though?"

Hilarious

Hot Wheels

  Two city boys sitting on a bus...

City boy 1) "So I heard you bought a tank?"
City boy 2) "Nah nah nah, not a tank, it's an armoured car."
City boy 1) "What's the difference between an armoured car and a tank then?"
City boy 2) "Well, an armoured car's got no weapons. Just a machine gun."
City boy 1) "Ah right. What did you get that for then?"
City boy 2) "Thought it'd look flash."

There may have been more to this tale but I think we shut them up by laighing so hard.

Food for thought!

  Worried looking girl - "So what do you think I should do?"

Friend (wearily) "I spent most of last night eating cheese out of a tube. I really don't think I'm the best person to ask for advice about your love life."
