temporary retirement
A small announcement to all...I'll be retiring from diplomacy for awhile. Summer is coming up, and I'll be away for a study aboard project, follow by a huge change in life in Aug. Perhaps someday I'd be back to play with everyone again, but as far as it goes, I had a wonderful time here. Everyone is amazing, and thank you for all the entertaining games. ;-]

National Anthems
With the FIFA World Cup coming up, I was wondering if any of you had particularly strong feelings regarding certain national anthems. Anyone think his/her country has the best national anthem ever? Any ones you particularly dislike?

US, British, and World Leaders On Currency- Who Should Be On What?
I have no idea who the Eurpoeans and English have... but for America- what do you think? Things like Lincoln on the penny and $5 and Washington on the quarter and $1 will never change, but who else? Jefferson has the $2- should he have better? Hamilton on the $10... he made th treasury, but how does he take a Bill over TR or Reagan or JFK? Same with Grant... Who should be on what (and will they EVER have a good dollar coin?) ;)

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas- how he got in my pajamas I don't know.

Then we took some pictures of the native girls, they weren't developed- but we're going back again in a couple of weeks!

-Both by the great Groucho Marx in his "Captain Spaulding's Adventures in Africa" monologue from "Duck Soup."

@Alderian: groan

One of my favourites. and appropriate to Diplomacy, is:

A string walked into a bar. The bouncer said, "Hey, we don't allow strings in here! Get out!". The string went outside, tied himself into a knot, then unraveled a few inches. He walked back into the bar. The bouncer said "I told you that we don't allow your type in here. You're a string, aren't you? The string said "No, I'm a frayed knot."

1. "I went to that city in Switzerland..." " Bern?" "No, I nearly froze to death"

2. "I was playing card games with some African natives." "Zulus?" "No, I won!"

3. Try saying this one with a Kiwi accent.
"Who's Muhammad?" "He was a Muslim, I think. Or a Hindu." "What's a Hindu?"

How about people inventing some instead of just recycling what they remember as schoolboys (or have Googled)? Maybe Diplomacy themed?
Ok. I guess I have to put my mouth where my money is.
How about 'Lepanto's just a way of covering your ass'?

@ diplomat61:

I was fishing for the classic "Stop calling me Shirley" from Airplane, which figlesquidge alluded to :)

Based on a true story:

While on a camping trip and traveling in a canoe that had been modified so it could have an outboard motor attached (negatively affecting the aquadynamics and creating drag), my paddling partner commented:

"I was we had an 'engine' in the back of the canoe so we could go faster"

I quickly pointed out the him the the correct term for what he was referring to was 'Native American'.

As told to me by a 7 year old...

A diversion: whilst working in China I discovered that the Chinese are very keen on puns too. Theirs are based on characters with wholly different meanings but with similar pronunciation. Like many of the jokes in this thread they sound good when spoken but are meaningless when written.
diplomat61 (223 D)
23 May 10 UTC
My daughter, at age of six or so, was bemused by the jokes that caused her parents and (elder) brother to roar with laughter. "They are puns" we told her, "words that sound the same but have different meanings". "OK" she said, "there are these two giraffes, both named Gilly. Geddit?".

She will be 18 next week. She still doesn't understand.

Two fish in a tank.

One says to the other, "How do you drive this thing?"

The other says, "Wow, a talking fish"

Went into the airport, walked up to the lady, and said,
"buck cluck cluck buck"
And she said,
"No, this is the check-in desk"

Sorry, I found a Tim Vine show. Last time I checked he held the record for telling the most jokes in an hour or something, mainly puns.
