Good King Wenceslas phoned Pizza Hut with his order.

"Is that the usual?", the man asked.

"Yes, deep pan, crisp and even"

That was by far the worst joke I've ever heard, and I've heard Tim's jokes.

Unless "deep pan, crisp and even" is a way of singing ... ???

It got a snort from me.

And that is all.

I'm sure someone can provide the lyrics to this carol. And what's a philly steak?

Well, it depends on where your from. It's actually a long bun with thin slices of meat (beef) and peppers, onions, and usually Mozzarella or provolone cheese. It originated in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, but has taken on many forms.

I have a southern recipe that works much better.

You lot are useless, you know that.

Good King Wenceslas looked out.

On the feast of Stephen.

The feast of Stephen being the first Saint's day after Christmas. Which we over hear call boxing day, but in the US you probably call it "Everyone's great Day", to avoid offending wrestlers, or something.

Actually, Liam didn't go quite far enough to get to the part the joke was about...

Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay 'round about
Deep and crisp and even.

See that last line? That's the one in question. Have a nice day, and don't forget your pants.

I will say, that without a doubt, that is the most pathetic joke I've come across in awhile. I hope the Poet wasn't being serious in his attempt at humor when he posted it.

You were just posting a merry mockery of the whole christmas joke...right?

Yes. Otherwise we will have to kill him.

Nimrod: Congratualtions for doing a half-way decent impression of a cockney accent. The "innit" was spot on. I am confused however, as to what the "besti" bit refers to. Please enlighten me. Awright?

It wasn't supposed to be cockney, more of a hindi accent. "Besti" seems to be used by asian youths to describe cool stuff.
I heard it on a hindi comedy-show, "Goodness Gracious me".
Actually, I'm coming to Camden around new-years so it'll be nice to 'ear yor 'am sandwich for a wile.

I heard this story of a nurse in a hospital had a British woman approach her. It was in the cafeteria and the British lady had a pie. She asked the nurse, "Would you eat this up for me, dearie? I need to go visit my son-in-law upstairs." The nurse was suprised but took the pie into the kitchen of the cafeteria, and shared it with her friends. When she came back out, the British lady was back and asked, "Is that pie 'ot enough yet?"

Nimrod old chap, excellent show that. Just don't say Asian when you refer to Indians, it tends to send americans into the East Asian mindset. We Indians take a deep and particular exception to that. Its got something to do with being lumped into a cultural paradgim that is nothing like our own. But anyhoo

Interesting. At uni here (in Liverpool) the "Asians" are referred to, by and large, as Asian, even by each other. And they all do medicine too. Curious.

Personally, I do it because I don't want to offend someone by getting their culture wrong, and "Asian" is a good catch all. Although I suppose it's a bit like Yanks calling us all "Europeans". Anyway, I shall continue working.

Well, you're from Europe. You are Europeans. Indians are from Asia, so they're Asian. That's how these sorts of things work, y'know... :-)

'Besti' is a word used in several Asian languages (including mine), and it means 'shame'. For example, if shame was brought upon anyone, it would be 'besti'.

I just can't be bothered to come up with anything right now....Try next time

All the Asians in my college are doing medicine too.

And not the "West Indian father came over in the 60s" Asians, I mean full-blodded and reared Malaysians, Pakistanis and Indians. They all get really expensive grants to cmoe over here and study medicine.

Not that I'm begrudging them the money, mind! They're very hard workers, and God have mercy on their souls for choosing medicine.

I suspected someone might get it wrong. I just guessed the "hindi"-part would eliminate all doubts. I understand your reluctance to be generalized.

Asian Dub Foundation helped me get rid of some prejudice, they're right cool.

Oh...! And here I thought "doing medicine" was some sort of unfamiliar slang referring to certain illicit substances...

No. That's reserved for spoilt little daddies girls who manage to get a �700 mobile phone bill in 3 months. And who keep my awake until 5 in the morning with their constant noises and giggling. Damn them all!

Yes, I was being ironic. Fortunately I have Liam to tell everyone so.
