Police officer at scene of RTA taking statement from driver with damaged truck .....

PO - "Now sir let me get this straight, the vehicle that hit you was pink, had no wheels, had four huge hydralic arms with buckets on the end, moved like a crab, and also nicked your spare wheel, is that correct?"

Driver - "Yes that about right"

PO - "In that case sir, could you blow into this tube for me please!" :drink:

Tone: “Hello, is that the police?”

PC Higgins: “Yes, how may I help?”

Tone: “Someone stole the caption comp image from our forum" :x

PC Higgins: “Hmm.. I see from our records that Grabs has a criminal track record for these things. He’s done it on Pepipoo, Pistonheads and is currently wanted under suspicion for adding a rude one on Brake”.

Tone: “I just knew he had something to do with it! (Allegedly)

:P

Can you clear up where/who/why this came up in Grabs reply to my post Ernest? The one just before yours above? In his quote of me it says: -

I ask because I don’t think Grabs made that up and I've seen that once before on one of my posts, in that same format, and wondered if I'd said something or offended someone, or some group?

Is it some automaticically generated response or something included in someone's post somehow? If it didn’t come from Grabs, then why/where/who did that come from :? Ah, I think I know...

"Ernest covers for Grabs in a last ditch attempt to save him from being prosecuted for stealing images on forums" :D

Alien invaders were worried when they found a round black thing lying on the planet surface, and realised Earthling defence vehicles might be faster and much more manouverable than their RoboCrabs.

Photoshoot in progress for Joni Mitchel's follow up to her hit song "Big Yellow Taxi", the new song is called "Big Pink Taxi Crab". Sample of the lyrics ..........
"Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big pink taxi crab
Come and took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot"

Restaurant owner on phone to seafood supply company .... "Yes I did say send me the biggest crab you can find, but this isn't really what I had in mind!!"

And to this day the inventor and MD of diggers-r-us doesn’t really understand why his business never took off.

When criticized over the aesthetics of his machines he said "What's wrong with them? You should have seen the prototype". :D

Spiderman was disappointed the local council had outlawed use of his newly developed Cyborg Spider machine to aid his crime fighting efforts. Council spokesman Ted "Filma" Pockets said, "yes it is unfortunate, but it would cost the taxpayer a small fortune in the erection of new pothole signs. Perhaps once my brother has his new signmaking company up and running we could re-visit this and a reversal of the decision might be possible!! "
