Titolo: Joke from my english teacher

A little old lady went to the grocery store and put the most expensive cat
food in her basket. She then went to the check out counter where she told
the check out girl. "Nothing but the best for my little kitten. "The girl at
the cash register said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you cat food without
proof that you have a cat.  A lot of old people buy cat food to eat, and the
management wants proof that you are buying the cat food for your cat.  "The
little old lady went home, picked up her cat and brought it back to the
store.
They sold her the cat food. The next day, the old lady went to the store and
bought 12 of the most expensive dog cookies -- one for each day of
Christmas. The cashier this time demanded proof that she now had a dog,
claiming that old people sometimes eat dog food.  Frustrated she went home,
came back and brought in her dog.
She was then given the dog cookies. The next day she brought in a box with a
hole in the lid. The little old lady asked the cashier to stick her finger
in the hole. The cashier said, "No, you might have a snake in there.
"The little old lady assured her that there was nothing in the box that
would bite her.  So the cashier put her finger into the box and pulled it
out and told the little old lady, "That smells like crap. "The little old
lady grinned from ear to ear, "Now, my dear,  can I please buy three rolls
of toilet paper?"
MORAL:   Never fool around with little old ladies.

Praline "It's not pining, it's passed on. This parrot is no more. It has
ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late
parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't
nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down
the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot."

Christmas.
[...]
There are twelve Christmas days? Could you please explain that to me?
I have no idea of what you're talking about. I presume it has some
religious (i.e. Christian) meaning.
Thanks

Ahem, my Worthy Queen...
Do you realize you are talking to a rabbit?
Since when rabbits post in newsgroups?
Hares do. Rabbits don't.

who, perhaps, has taken too much liberty in pointing this out to a
Queen.

Since when rabbits post in newsgroups?
In case you're wondering how did he succeed in writing the first
message,
well...
...I haven't the slightest idea.
But rabbits do *not* post in newsgroups.
Most decidedly so.

Cara (e ormai indimenticabile :-) ) Betty,
ho spulciato tra i miei volumi e non ho trovato i riferimenti alle
malattie. Andando a memoria dai miei anni trascorsi all'estero
confermo "the flu", "the measles" e "the mumps". Cosi' come ricordo
diarrh(o)ea senza articolo. E tuttavia l'English language dictionary
Collins Cobuild da' come esempio "We had to cancel it because Mummy
had flu". Stessa cosa per mumps, measles (e diarrhea), che
coerentemente da' come uncountables. L'unica eccezione pare essere
"the plague". Speriamo che altri vengano a illuminarci.
Certo che dopo tutto il mielume degli auguri sanvalentiniani... meno
romantico di cosi' si muore. :o)) Chiedo venia.
Ciao
Frank

...and so it is that we finally arrive at the truth. Our gallant
K.I.S.A.ever one to search and inquire after matters of great import, has
been away on a crusade  which occupied itself with tracking down the
solution to a riddle which has plagued us this long time; the true answer to
the question whether or not rabbits post on Usenet newsgroups.
He has returned after long and lonely days of battling alone in the
wilderness, across plains, highlands and deep within forests green
to return to us and share and impart The Knowledge.
Let the heralds proclaim this throughout the Realm.
Peltio knows. Peltio has seen. Peltio has been where mortal men dread to
tread.
Peltio knows - Rabbits-do-not-post-to-newsgroups.
Verily so has it been spoken.
