Two guys were playing golf. One pulls out a cigar and discovers he doesn't have a light. The other guy reaches into his golf bag and pulls out a foot long Bic lighter.

"Wow," says the friend,"where did you get that big lighter?"
"My genie gave it to me," replied his partner.
"You have a genie?" asked the friend.
"Sure do. He's right here in this bag",replied the partner.
"Do you think he'd grant me a wish?"asked the friend.
"Sure he would!" said the partner.

Then he proceeded to take the genie out of the bag.

" Your wish is my command," boomed the genie.
"I want a million bucks" commanded the friend.

Nothing happened for a while then all of a sudden the sky turned black as a million ducks flew over.

" I guess I should've warned you about that genie. He's hard of hearing," said the partner. "You don't think I really wished for a 12 inch Bic, do you?"

Je dois surement avoir un qi en dessous de la moyenne ou alors etre tres fatigué mais je comprends pas bien la chute de ta blague

Elle est trop bien! C'est vrai qu'un briquet d'une telle taille, ça ne sert à rien...

Mince pourtant ce n'est pas tres "fute-fute"

Le genie entend mal.
A millions Bucks (=dollars en argo) -> A million Ducks
A 12 inch ?ic(k) -> A 12 inch Bic

j'avais prevenu que la blague etait "legere"

Je sais pas ce qui est le plus marrant la blagues ou Jfitte (soory Jfitte mais ca m'a bien fait marre, ca m'a fait repenser a un skteche des nuls "La po compris")

Ne le blamons pas ! Pour comprendre cette joke, il est quand meme necessaire de maitriser un vocabulaire "particulier" que certains parmis vous semblent manipuler courrament ...

Marc

Desole j'avais eu une dure journee hier et j'ai eu du mal a capter la legerete de cette boutade!!! Quant au vocabulaire 'particulier' ne t'inquiete pas pour moi marclaf, cela fait 6 mois que je vis avec des australiens, je commence a connaitre

Sorry pour cette absence d'esprit momentanee!
Ce qui a de bien c que j'ai reussi a me faire rire tout seul...

il y a la meme en francais avec
un Milliard qui se transforme en Billard
Et une grosse ?ite qui se tranforme en grosse Mite


du classique!
mais j'avoue que la version anglaise est meilleure!!

et tu la commences comment ton histoire ?
"c'est un gars qui demande a son pote s'il a pas une grosse mite sur lui ..." ?

Jfitte, j'ai jamais doute que t'etais un cochon ...

Marc

Aha, I was just about to mention this version!
It was several months ago and us Ballarat Frenchies still had a lot of 'joke vocab' to learn...it took us ages to experiment with different letters and come up with the answer, but then it was even more hilarious for the one who figured it out!

La version Mite est vraiment plus longue et plus complique.
It's somewhere on www.blagues.info under one of the animal chapters, je crois.



Tu as raison. If our group gets stuck, these days we usually just point our minds in the 'direction of the gutter' (ie just assume it's something quite rude) and usually the answer is found quite quickly
