Хнык, а у меня кончились(( Терплю до вечера.

Не пробовала) Я липовый люблю

:-D шикаааарно!

перевранная история с anekdot.ru про австрийского, если не ошибаюсь, учителя, строившего радиовышку у себя дома.

От чего меня тошнит в Задорнове - это его всегдашняя готовность украсть историю с Запада, быстренько ее перелицевать в дешевом стиле "русские- д'Артаньяны, иностранцы - пидорасы" и выдать за свою. Если тоьлко русские - настоящие крутые перцы, хрен ли ты с Запада анекдоты пиздишь, ищи уже отечественные, кондовые!

с другой стороны - поводй поискать откуда это всё.
Оказалось, что из конца 30-х... Почти век байке.

Probably the best-known example of Hoffnung as a humorous speaker is an account of a bricklayer's misfortunes when lowering some bricks in a barrel from the top of a building. It was part of a speech to the Oxford Union on 4 December 1958.[12] The derivation of the story is confused, but it first arises in the 1930s. It was published in Reader's Digest in 1940 as a letter from a naval officer who had supposedly received it from an enlisted man explaining his late return from leave. Hoffnung first saw the story in The Manchester Guardian in 1957;[13] the version printed there is identical with the text used by Hoffnung, except for the location, which he changed from Barbados to Golder's Green. Hoffnung used the piece to warm up the audience before each recording session of One Minute, Please. In these performances he perfected the timing before the Oxford Union speech. The story was part of his speech in a debate called Life Begins at 38 and was recorded by the BBC.[1] The tale itself was not, Ingrams comments, especially funny, but "[Hoffnung's] manner and delivery reduced his audience to hysterics".[3]
