    When a parcel goes by sea it's called CARgo

    I thought I had solved this problem by buying only black socks. Unfortunately I discovered that as well as there being 50 shades of grey, there are also 50 shades of black. :mad: (Maybe I should write a book about it).

    If a solicitor steals your money, it's called 'inappropriate use of client account'. (Penalty: Reprimand by the Law Society).
    If you steal the solicitor's money, it's called theft. (Penalty: prison).

    If you have 30 pairs of socks and can't match one poxy pair then you don't really have any pairs of socks at all do you?
