Not backpack-boy's fault if the greed of the supermarket owner dictates that the aisles are too narrow.  If you can't get a pack through, then passing trolleys are going to be a problem.

 

Though in reality its just a spot of axe-grinding by a cartoonist with a beef!

True story,  Foreman tells the apprentice  to go to the shop and get him 20 Woodbine.  Apprentice says, what will I get if they don't have Woodbine?  Foreman tells him to just get anything...

 

Apprentice came back with two pies!

I'm guessing the foreman the day before had told the apprentice to go the the company 'stores' to get a "long weight" - which the store keeper obliged with a "long wait".

Nah, the beef’ll be in the fridge or on the fresh meat counter…

It would seem that Boeing have tried to disprove that recently . . .

They may have seen a window of opportunity...

Which reminds me of a story one of my work colleagues told me....

 

A few years ago he worked as a service engineer in a motorbike garage opposite was the typical autospares supplier run by mature women...

 

He sent the new apprentice over the road with a note for 15' of fallopian tubing.... watching from the office window he could see the poor apprentice getting the mick ripped out of him... he arrived back very embarrassed and red faced...

 

An email arrived shortly with one huge grin emoji from the 'ladies over the road'

Although I do have a fondness for Old English where word order was relatively unimportant thanks to the way word-endings differentiate between Object and Subject, so that no matter how you organised the three words "king, kill & queen" you'd know whodunnit.

 

Still the case with many European languages...

That was an ad on Reddit five years ago.

 

That's a longer gap than some of the jokes on here.....

Not so and not even close.  Given the thread title, I read through it, expecting something something like a joke. 

 

Instead, somewhat of a disappointment, c'est la vie.....   

 

 

Hmmm, the original has vanished!
