After the Six-Day War, two Arabs are gloomily discussing the poor showing of their armies.

Why do you think we did so badly? Was it the Russian weapoms?

No the weapons were excellent. No it was the Russian military textbooks that let us down.

What did they say?

Retreat, draw the enemy onto your territory. Then wait for the winter snows.............

The other was a true news item from the other week on telly.

To understand it you have to know that The Bench means where magistrates sit; and in football, it's where the substitutes sit during matches.

The news said in effect, about a player who was charged with assault;- His bail has been amended, and tomorrow, he'll be on the bench.

i thought boy,I'd really like to see those bail conditions.
