When I was relatively new in this forum, I used to follow easy, humorous threads. In one of them somebody called ChessPraxis (Art) posted 'What's gnu?' As I didn't want to embarrass him in the GF, I messaged him instead saying 'It's a lion's favourite prey.' 🙂


I once brought my sister's cat back home after it had gone missing, following a house move. (I returned to her previous house, found it, and brought it back to her).

Wasn't her cat.


i told the officer plainly, "but i didn't do that"

A few years ago I was bicycling to work when I saw a few police cars on the road. I thought something must be up. Then a couple of them made U-turns and eventually five or six patrol cars had stopped near me.

They told me to get off my bike and step away from it, then took my backpack for searching, and tied my hands behind my back. This was pretty disorienting, and they had to explain a couple times why I was being detained. Luckily I had the sense not to resist, despite having no idea what was going on.

It turned out that some other middle-aged guy on a bike had been riding around threatening people with a gun. It wasn't me, though, and a few minutes later they did nab the other guy.

After I was released, I took the opportunity to thank them all for their service. However, I was a little miffed at how sloppily one of them had repacked my backpack. He could have spilled my lunch all over my change of clothes!

Why were you carrying around a change of clothes?

Suspicious...

Indeed!

I preferred to wear clean clothes at work, not sweaty ones fragrant with traffic-scent.


the cops took my money and told me to have a nice day
the said the only reason I would be in this area would be to buy drugs
they were right but my day was not nice


i was detained by the police
my pockets they decided to fleece
the jokes on them
i laughed like sin
for my jeans were full of bacon grease

Huh,...? 🤔 I don't understand.

I'll explain in our game. 🙂

Maybe he spelled it differently, I can't remember. But the fact that I thought I knew something he didn't and I wanted to spare him that, made me smile.


@Torunn

Jag förstår inte
