Where did that sign go?

  Teenage girl discussing Americans with two young lads:

'You know what they f***ing do? They stand with their cameras and they like take pictures of the Portobello Road sign. I'd like to take that sign down and take it home with me and say I've like got it in my home.'

There's no flies on him

  My local gay bar has a 'bar fly' problem, so as a tacky gift I bought them an battery powered electric fly swatter which electrocutes flys while it looks like you're playing tennis.

Guy sitting next to me: 'That's really a good idea, where did you buy it?'

Me: 'The pound shop.'

Guy: 'How much was it' (short pause) 'I so wish I hadn't said that'

The Tweenies said it, so that's okay.

  Little boy: (to his little brother) 'Don't be such an idiot!'
Grandmother: 'Oi, don't say that! That's very rude.
Little boy: No it's not, Milo said that to Jake on the Tweenies.'

One thing you don't want to hear

  I was the last to get on an extremely crowded train, and as the doors began to shut, the lady next to me turned to her companion and said:

'I knew I shouldn't have eaten all that garlic!'

Yummy!

  Teenage Boy #1 (jokingly): 'Ever tried breast milk?!'

Teenage Boy #2 (very seriously): 'Yeah...'

Boy #1 (obviously impressed): 'Really? What did it taste like?'

Boy #2: 'Quite nice actually. You should try it some time!'

(at this point, my friend and I were trying to stop giggling so much that we missed the rest :( Although I am sure it would have been hilarious!)
