Side Wheel Driving Through Smallest Gap

Anyone who thinks there's safety in numbers hasn't looked at the stock market pages.

A traditional English breakfast is a very big meal
sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushroom…
But nowadays it has started to change, many people
just have cereal with milk and sugar, or toast with
marmalade, jam, or honey. Marmalade and jam are
two different things! Marmalade is made of oranges
and jam is made from other fruit. The traditional
breakfast drink is tea with cold milk added. Some
people have just orange juice.
For many people lunch is a quick meal. In cities
there are a lot of fast food restaurants; workers can
buy burgers, sandwiches and all sorts of salad. Pubs
usually serve good, cheap food, both hot and cold.
School children can have a hot meal at school, but
many bring lunch from home a sandwich, a drink,
some fruit, and maybe some crisps.
'Tea' means two things. It is both a drink and a
meal! Some people have afternoon tea, with cookies
and sandwiches. Cream teas are popular. You
have cakes with cream and jam.
The main meal of the day is dinner for many people.
They usually have it quite early, between 5.30
and 8.00, and often the whole family eats together.
At weekends many families have a traditional
lunch. They have roast meat, beef, chicken, or pork
with different side dishes.
The British also like food from other countries,
especially Turkish, French, Chinese, and Indian.
People often buy take-away meals: you buy the food
at the restaurant and then bring it home to eat.
Eating in Britain is quite international!

Larry had to go to the church because his uncle had passed away.

A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender,
"If I show you a really good trick, will you give me a free drink?"  The bartender considers it, then agrees. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues. After the man finished his drink, he asked the bartender,
"If I show you an even better trick, will you give me free drinks for the rest of the evening?" The bartender agrees, thinking that no trick could possibly be better than the first. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues. The man reaches into another pocket and pulls out a small bullfrog, who begins to sing along with the rat's music.
While the man is enjoying his beverages, a stranger confronts him and offers him $100,000.00 for the bullfrog.
"Sorry," the man replies,
"he's not for sale." The stranger increases the offer to $250,000.00 cash up front.
"No," he insists,
"he's not for sale." The stranger again increases the offer, this time to $500,000.00 cash. The man finally agrees, and turns the frog over to the stranger in exchange for the money.
"Are you insane?" the bartender demanded.
"That frog could have been worth millions to you, and you let him go for a mere $500,000!" "Don't worry about it." the man answered.
