Entertainment For Lively Minds
Good joke, BAD timing!

In 2003 my then GF was into art in a big way (she is a Fine Arts graduate), and when there was an exibition by the artist Monet in Edinburgh, it was a must see for her...so along I trooped dutifuly. Queueing up I remarked the cost of entry at £10 a pop was a bit steep.
"Aha" she sez, "Forgot. I have a voucher for *Admit One Adult Free When One Adult Pays*". Quick as a flash I said: "You mean, It's Your Monet For Nothing Because The Chick Goes Free?". Well I laffed and laffed (as did a few of the people in the Q).She never. Mortified she was. I got dumped three days later. Still think it was funny. Enjoyed the old fellas pictures also.

That's proper quality, that is.
I must admit, it's the sort of gag I'd have pissed myself over for days if I'd been clever enough to think of it.
I think that was really witty...
why she didn't laugh is beyond me.
Sexist!!!!!
(No, of course not...)
Good line!
She was/is
a serious #Artist#. Go figure.
you were
too good for her and she knew it, hence the cessation of intimacy thereafter
you can hold your head high
Memories of
an old fart (slightly sozzled as I write).
I remember sitting in a less than salubrious pub in Leeds many moons ago and in a tired and emotional state telling my drinking companion that I wish I could meet a girl who'd happily drink with me in this pub, walk the Yorkshire Dales with me the next day, scrub up well for a black tie do that evening and then insist that we stay up to watch The Apartment while she umms and aahs over which Steely Dan record to play.
Lucky, lucky sod that I am I met her within a month of that declaration.
A comeback as good as yours is only ever going to be admired by the right girl or if you're unlucky by the one that got away.
Either way it's funny.
In her defence
she stayed in Kos from 1977 to 1989 where she owned a small shop/studio,so she was cut off from most things, and she did admit she did not get the reference. She counted John Cleese (whom she remembered fron MPFC), Caroline Langrishe and the dude with the sidies from Flying Pickets/ Coronation Street amongst her regular customers.She had no idea who the latter two were at the time. She was a honey.
She gave up a life on Kos to become the
conductress on the number nineteen?
?
Vulpes (squared)...that one went totally over me head. Explain?
Oh come on!!!
... even I got that and I was just checking out the movies and the magazines.
OK
I give up.... care to share the reference?
Lost on me as well.
Call me a pleb if you wish.
sounds like some
Cock is Jarver bollocks, move on chaps we're better than that
