What am I?
A missionary in Africa is trying to teach english to the leader of the local tribe.?
They are going down the river in a canoe, and the missionary is pointing at things and saying the english word. He points at the canoe, and says “canoe”. The chief nods. He points at the water, and says “water”. The chief nods. This continues for some time, until they round a bend in the river. There is a couple on the riverbank, having s*x. The missionary, being religious, is appalled, but determined to keep up the great report that he has with the chief. He points at the couple and says “bicycle riding”. The chief nods. As they float past the couple, they can then get a good look at both people’s faces. The chief suddenly jumps up, screams, and throws his spear; impaling the man in the back and killing him. The missionary is aghast and stammers out “Why did you do that?” The chief turns to him and replies “My bike”

What’s your favourite …?
..let your fantasy roam. If all possibilities were open to you, would you fly in a Cessna, a jumbo, a space shuttle, a military jet, a balloon, a Zeppelin, a helicopter… or would you prefer to stay earthbound and ride in a car, motorbike, bicycle, horse-drawn coach….a steam ship, a sailing boat, a canoo… something else…
I’d just loooooove to fly in a space shuttle…
Do you like my idea for a hybrid car?
It would be half bicycle and half canoe. You could use it in the water and on land. Basically it’s just a canoe with a bike sticking out of it. There are also some holes where you can stick your legs through to pedal (you have to close those when you get in the water if you don’t want to sink).
