In an episode of "Til Death us do part", Alf was tell the story of Joseph and Mary and their journey to Bethlehem. He described how Joseph couldn't get lodgings at any inn because they were all booked up; at which point, his wife chips in with, " I'm not surprised, everywhere is so busy at Christmas!".

And I had always heard that Christ was born in a manger because Joseph belonged to an HMO.

I've never understood all the so-called "suffering" Washington's troops endured at Valley Forge. Hell, King of Prussia Shopping Center is just down the road, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike is only a couple miles away.

In Hastings (the real one, UK) there's a guy who has a business laying concrete. What does he call the business? Yep, you guessed it - 'William The Concreter'. Priceless! :-)
