What do you want for Christmas?

We all need a good laugh.

What do you want for Christmas?

Postby Zorba » Wed Dec 17, 2008 12:56 am

A grandad asked his grandson what he wanted for Christmas.

"I want a bike, an iPod, some football boots and a Nintendo Wii," he replied.

"When I was a boy," said grandad, "all I got was an orange and an apple."

"F**k me!" said the grandson, "a mobile phone AND a computer?"

Right, so why does the weirdo who started this thread assume that everyone on a Cypriot forum is aware of a phone company in England called "Orange" ???

He could have used cucumber, which is much better understood by the bananiots of the forum. The fact that no mobile company in the world exists with this name is immaterial.

:? Are you implying that you use a cucumber instead of a mobile phone and on top of that assume that everyone else in Cyprus does too?
