Сказка про Золушку

Бедная Золушка мыла посуду, готовила, прибирала покои, стирала белье для отца, мачехи и ее двух дочерей.

Потом случилось чудо - и она вышла замуж за принца.
И теперь бедная Золушка моет посуду, готовит, прибирает покои и стирает белье для всего королевского дворца.

Для знатоков английского -

подборка замечательных анекдотов:

А вот эти два меня просто прут:

A grade school teacher was asking students what their parents did for a living. "Tim, you be first," she said. "What does your mother do all day?"
Tim stood up and proudly said, "She's a doctor."
"That's wonderful. How about you, Amie?"
Amie shyly stood up, scuffed her feet and said, "My father is a mailman."
"Thank you, Amie," said the teacher. "What about your father, Billy?"
Billy proudly stood up and announced, "My daddy plays piano in a whorehouse."
The teacher was aghast and promptly changed the subject to geography. Later that day she went to Billy's house and rang the bell.
Billy's father answered the door. The teacher explained what his son had said and demanded an explanation.
Billy's father said, "I'm actually an attorney. How can I explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?"

Typical Mexican macho man married typical good-looking Mexican lady and after the wedding laid down the following rules: "I'll be home when I want, if I want and at what time I want - and I don't expect any hassle from you. I expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you otherwise. I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing and card-playing when I want with my old buddies and don't you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules! Any comments?"
His new bride said, "No, that's fine with me. Just understand that there'll be sex here at seven o'clock every night - whether you're here or not."

Завтра занятия в Шеннон-Ривере :)

и по этому поводу очередной шедевр от группы Дарц:

"Народ приходит в клубы трех столиц
Взглянуть на ножки фолковых девиц,
И группа та прекраснее, сынок -
На чьих концертах больше этих ног.
И если целый полк
Придет послушать фолк -
То мы закончим за полночь, работа ведь не волк!"
