An Englishman, Scotsman, Welshman and an Irishman are captured by Isis and told that they can have one request before the chop. Jock says that he wants to sing 'oh flower of Scotland ' Taff says that he wants to sing 'land of my fathers' and Paddy says that he wants to sing 'oh Danny boy' . . . . the Englishman says '**** it . . . . I'll go first'
My rule of thumb would be, 'first hit your thumb with a hammer, THEN go looking for the stick to use when beating your wife!'
I know this is the jokes thread, but I have some interest in etymologies and would like to point out that all of the word and phrase origins in this are just Internet folklore and completely wrong.
