Quiz 458

Another very busy Friday, hence the late post. My day didn't start well with the fat minger who lives next door going out and her Jack Russells waking me up at some ungodly hour this morning, I didn't get to bed until 2 am and had to be up at 7:15, irresponsible dog owners should be dragged into the street and shot. Last night's quiz at The Albert was good but there are still empty seats that need filling, I suppose the high bar prices don't help or, as in last night, loud drunken rants coming from the bar. Nice to a big top table with Day Release back, splitting into two teams, that sort of friendly competition should be encouraged. Our winners last night were CJD with 95pts and who have now won five of the last six quizzes. Second place went to The Alliance a single point back on 94pts and third spot went to Drunks Aloud with 88pts. A special mention to Leah and Dave, formerly The Flying Otters and yesterday were fourth as Dosthill's Finest with 86pts and who have just bought their first house together, so I'd like to take this opportunity on behalf of us all to wish them both all the happiness for the future. CHRISTMAS WEEK: NO QUIZ. FOLLOWING WEEK: THE QUIZ WILL MOVE TO TUESDAY DECEMBER 30 FOR JUST THAT WEEK. Questions, comments, suggestion? email me. quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk as always.

Joke of the Day (Thanks Mako)

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff's deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has a better education then any cop from Houston , Texas . He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Texas deputy's expense.

The deputy says,' License and registration, please.'

'What for?' says the lawyer.

The deputy says, 'You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign.'

Then the lawyer says, 'I slowed down, and no one was coming.'

'You still did n't come to a complete stop, Says the deputy. License and registration, please.'

The lawyer says, 'What's the difference?'

'The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that's the law License and registration, please!' the Deputy says.

Lawyer says, 'If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket.'

'That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir,' the deputy says.

At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the daylights out of the lawyer and says, 'Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?'
