Re: A man walks into a bar...

Those people who ski in a virgin snow
need the longest skis because the
surface pressure must be kept low.
Regular cross-country skis are 2 to 2.5
meters long.

I have seen one or two classic
instruments played at a time, but
never a real orchestra, even a small one.
Live music in general is quite rare in
malls. It is more common in the railway
station underground tunnels of Helsinki,
which could be thought as a kind of mall,
too, because there are some shops there.
Typically you can hear an accompanied
violin, cello, or a woodwind instrument
there.
My best tunnel music experience
happened in Paris, when I listened to
a performing harpist in a subway tunnel.

Re:A man walks into a bar...
My favourite bar joke:
Two strings walk into a bar. The first one says to the bartender:
"Please give me one beer#¤&?=$]*:&%!#}=_$&%)=+^!*&#!}}&[%$".
The other string replies:
"You have to forgive my friend. You see, he is not null-terminated."
(This is a computer porgrammers' joke.
"String" is a sequence of letters or other
characters, like a word, that can be read
from a computer screen. It can have either
an invisible length tag or an invisible
trailing null code to tell the computer
where the string ends. The advocates of
the null code may use jokes like this to
punch the opposite side.)

A man walks into a bar...
There are a lot of jokes that start this way "A man walks into a bar and asks for a drink..."
But for fun the joke is:
A horse walks into a bar and asks for a drink. The bartender asks "Why the long face?"
OK, you are supposed to laugh now. :-)
Joke explained: "Having a long face" means you are sad but horses also have a long face. Get it?
Have a nice day!

French Jokes, Volume 1
Bonjour everyone! :) I went to the UCONN (my future school!) bookstore and bought a book of French jokes, a few of which I'd like to share. Enjoy! :D
1.
-Papa, qu'est-ce-qu'il y a sur cet arbre?
-C'est des prunes noires.
-Mais, papa, elles ne sont pas noires, elles sont blanches.
-Oui. Elles sont blanches parce qu'elles sont vertes.
2.
Un petit garcon de cinq ans demande a sa mère comment elle est née.
-Euh, répond la mère embarrassée, euh... dans un bouquet de roses. Pas satisfait pour autant, le petit bonhomme va voir son père pour lui poser la même question.
-Je suis venu dans un chou, lui dit son père.
En désespoir de cause, le môme va trouver sa grande sœur Brigitte et il se plante devant elle:
-Et toi, Brigitte, tu es née dans une rose ou dans un chou?
-Eh bien, dit la fille, ni l'un ni l'autre! C'est une cigogne qui m'a apportée...
-Alors, dit le gamin, si j'ai bien compris, il n'y a pas eu une seule naissance normale dans cette famille...
3.
-Cheri, dis-moi ce que tu préfères. Une femme jolie ou une femme intelligente?
-Ni l'une, ni l'autre, chérie! Tu sais bien que je n'aime que toi.
Bye! :)

Re:Re:Merhaba
I am a native English speaker, but I am more or less interested in just conversation, although I am trying to learn Arabic. We can exchange chat.

Re:Re:Bilingual Joke
Hola Elizabeth:
Con mucho gusto puedo mantener correspondencia contigo, para que practiques el español y yo el inglès. Supongo que tu nivel de español te permite escribir con cierta libertad, pero si no es así no hay problema. Escríbeme sobre las costumbres sociales en tu comunidad hoy dia, si te resulta cómodo.
O escribe sobre los animales...el mas grande..el más inteligente, el que grita más y asi lo que destaca más de cada uno. ¿Te parece?
Tengo varios temas preparados para nivel basico e intermedio. Si eso es lo que te conviene, mo lo haces saber...
En inglés me gusta aprender sobre las partes del cuerpo, lñas enfermedades, lo que te mandan a hacer cuando vas al médico y lo relativo a salud, por los momentos...
Cordiales Saludos, Mary
