  • I remember that joke from its first time around, when the drink was called a Charles Stuart. Could have been a Boston-only joke though.

    Edwin O’Conner, I was about to post that the old ones are the best.

    I first heard this joke about 20 years ago, but don’t remember who the splashee was back then.

    It’s now known as the gangster martini.

    I’m very suspicious over the claim that the US has disposed of OBL’s body; after all who puts their Bin out on a Bank Holiday weekend?

    The Royal Wedding, Osama Bin Laden shot dead.
    Carlsberg don’t do Bank Holidays, but if they did…

    Did you hear that the reason Bin Laden’s burial at sea lasted forty minutes is because it takes a while for everybody aboard to pee over the side?

  • 'Nuke' Gray

    That was the piss-pourest excuse for a joke I’ve heard in my entire week!
    Q. How do you save water?
