    Deposit's down on an '02 636 to replace my faithful CBR('95-FS). It's
    been a good 12 months, but after a test ride, that engine, hmmmm.

    I can also confirm that green ones are quicker.

    They did a test on this, and red paint's quicker due to the molecules moving
    quicker in the red stuff or summat. Whether it affects what it's painted on
    is based on what colour your eyes are.

    My little brother once said that all black men are quick runners because the
    slow ones got caught. It's funny what you learn at school when you're a
    pre-teen.
    I once laughed at a joke designed to highlight how bad racism in the
    workplace is. It was about paddy the Irish goalkeeper who caught the baby
    thrown from a window in a fire. Unortunately for the parents he then punted
    it 50yds. There was no offence caused, I just found it hilarious as I would
    were it about an english or welsh goalkeeper. the joke is not the Irish,
    it's the shock of the unexpected. Have I defended my quote enough yet or
    should I keep digging?

    My favourite Irish joke... it has to be Irish and you have to read the Irish
    bits with an Irish accent else it won't work:
    Paddy has just arrived in London town and is looking for work, anything will
    do just to tide him over for now. So he wanders onto a building site down in
    Docklands and asks to see the site agent, from whom he requests work. The
    site agent is sick to death of having Irishmen show up on his building
    sites, he doesn't like them and will do anything to humiliate or just get
    rid of them, but he's under a lot of pressure from the contractor to
    interview any applicants that he can because work is behind schedule and
    they need more hands on the site. So reluctantly the site agent agrees to
    interview Paddy for a labouring job:

    SA: Now see here Paddy, we can't have just any old thick Mick on our sites
    these days, you have to know something about the building game
    P: Dat's OK sur, I'm well up on da buildings
    SA: Right, well then tell me, what's the difference between 'Joist' and
    'Girder'

    Paddy scratches his head and is clearly thinking hard. Then bingo! The
    lightbulb shines!

    P: Oi've got it! Joist wrote Ulysees and Girder wrote Faust!

    :)
