You don't have American bars? Where did Jack Lemmon go when he
was depressed and needed a drink, the bartender coming up to
listen to some sad tale?

....

... There are no laws, really, about
such. Some offer pints. Some offer half-pints. Some go on about
ounces. Mostly I reply based on "Small, medium or large?"

In NSW at least the main ones are a middy (10oz) and schooner
(15oz). In Victoria, I recall a 7oz, maybe it was called a pony?

In Australia, if a man is looking for a fight, he goes into a pub
and orders less than a schooner and gets ready to react if
someone tries to king hit him... ETs out for a barney order
something and say out loud "Anyone who drinks other than this is
a bloody human" as an obvious insult...

cool then! nice to meet you neredbojias

Nice to meet you, Jenn. Dorayme's Australian and tends to tell kinda
odd jokes, but hey, it's all good. Are you into making web pages or
here for just a particular site/problem?

 

[Neredbojias]

So that proves what? It is a bad guy joke? It is not a guy joke
'cos men from Texas only understand guy jokes? Or you boji are a
lady (from Texas not withstanding)? I bet I have missed some
other possibilities <g>

I was just intimating that the overly-colloquialized anecdote was
unclear to a multi-stated Amercian audience (not to mention the world
at large). But to be fair about it, I never understood Swahili dung
jokes, either.

Perhaps this is the wrong time to mention the Darwin stubby...

It is never a wrong time to mention it. I doubt if it is the
right time to drink it though, far too much for anybody but
Gulliver.

I make web pages for a living for the last.. mmmmm ... kind of lost track
.... started learning html around '94 and then making websites around '95 ..
something like that.

Where are you from and what do you do?

Here's a joke I coined myself some yrs ago ...

What do you get when you cross an ant with a dung beatle?

It is not quite right though. "d" not "D" (ouch! I get an
electric shock whenever I type or see a "D" ouch again!)

Oh, Dor is all right, she's just one quail short of a covey. 'Knows
html pretty well, though, I'll say that.

Actually, I come from my mother and I work for the govt. No, not
anything exciting like James Bond stuff. I'm more like a male Miss
Moneypenny when it comes down to it. However, this puts me in that
rather revered group of people being reimbursed despite the level and
quality of their output, and *that* is something to be proud of!

Now, I'm interested! LOL I like your sense of humor too ..

My dad worked for the Pentagon for 28 yrs before he retired (a long time
ago). He had a few stories to tell... not exactly James Bond stuff, but he
did work with Pres. Kennedy in the War room during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Hah hah, good un! Here's one I made up just now.

What do you get when you cross Microsoft with a ghost?

Big blue boo boo boos...

<giggle> HAAAAAAHAhaaaaaahahaAAHhahah funny! LOL

whichever size they give you (usually 12oz). If the place is called a
'pub' you can order a pint, but it's not really a pub.

And it's not really a pint either.

 

[Tim Streater]

Depends, I suppose. Around here a pint is server in a pint glass, so it
is a pint.

That doesn't make it a pint. In The US it's a short-measure
cheese-paring 16oz instead of the proper 20oz.
