I asked him, "Do you know any of those martial arts things, like
kung-Fu, Karate or Ju-Jitsu ?"

He says "No, why the fluck you ask me?"

I said, "It's because you're drinking my beer, you little prick."


The joke would have had far more punch, and would have been more in
keeping with English humour had you resisted the last three words.
Sound it out in your head and you will see what I mean.
That final phrase removes all humour from the encounter and renders
it thuggish and unappealing. Without it, the First Person Narrator
could be a typical Englishman expressing dry wit.

I suspect you have seen far too many "comedy" movies and TV serials
from the USAliens.

"...they **** you on the drive-through, they know they can so they
****** you on the drive through ..." may be humour to unsophisticated
Disney-fed USAliens but it is less that witty to us.

Bonus points for movie, character, location and the rest of the
monologue.






Bit strong there Jack, is it a reaction to your THIEFA arrest?

"THIEFA"? Pun on "FIFA"?

J.

Off course 'THIEFA'. Why we are taling Jack Warner here, right?
