Strange Announcements

By Primal Sneeze | Apr 25, 2007

I had EuroNews on the TV this morning. Every 5 minutes or so they made the following announcement.

Boris Yeltsin will be buried live here on EuroNews today.

If they go ahead with it, it will be the best reality TV ever.

It reminds me of years ago when a work colleague sent out an all-employees email:

There will be a presentation for Pat O’Brien who is getting married in the conference room at 3 o’clock today.

The GM responded immediately:

The conference room shall not be used for religious services of any kind without prior permission from the management.

    Buried live, eh? Sounds iffy.

    That reminds me of a friend of mine who was earning some extra money by doing work for a charity and accidentally leaving out the crucial word ’supporter’ at the end of the question went up to someone on the street and asked ‘Excuse me sir - Would you like to be a Polio Victim?’

    I wrote a letter to friend once, thats how old i am, telling them all my bits n bobs. Exciting stuff like how i had gone to the cinema to see the film POINT BREAK with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze.

    He replied a week or two later asking how i knew them…

    Putin could do with a spot of being buried alive, the weasel.

    Granny - Happy to be of service.

    FMC - That’s the new Russia for ya.

    Conor - I’ve heard of Charity Muggers, but he was pushing it a bit.

    Manuel - Class that! Class! I hope you write back saying you played football with them for years or something.

    Sam - I’ll just check the TV guide. Maybe that’s scheduled for next week.

    I saw a headline in a paper the other day..

    “Man arrested by Garda waving a hacksaw in the air”

    I thought the Gardaí weren’t supposed to be armed?

    Hacksaws are McDowell’s latest anti-crime initiative.
