The Indian With One Testicle
Indian joke
There once was an Indian who had only one testicle and whose given name was 'Onestone'.. He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone. After years and years of torment, Onestone finally cracked and said,' If anyone calls me Onestone again I will kill them!'

Their "Why?" section for 2009 goes like:
#1. Putin is a crab
#2. I am lone.ly
#3. the sky is blue
#4. the dollar is appreciating
#5. men are unfaithful
#6. I am a loser
#7. hatches are round
#8. the grass is green
#9. cats are purring
#10. I am dumb (females talking about themselves)

Tongue twisters
From the letters to The Economist:
Having read your article about difficult languages (“Tongue twisters”, December 19th) I scoff at Tuyuca and Kwaio for having only two words for “we”, inclusive and exclusive. In English we have three: the regular we meaning you and I, as in “we had dinner... together”; the royal we meaning I, as in “we are not amused”; and the marital we meaning you, as in “we need to take out the garbage.”
Bad service message
A clear message indeed
We waited 30 minutes
No service!
