Re: What Made You Laugh Today
When I was in a rather lively all 2000 girl comprensive school in 70s London, some US guys from Gideon bible rocked up at morning assembly. Poor discipline, minor heckling. Guy responded that we were full of spunk. Did not improve the situation. Remember it fondly.

And I spent half a day trying to remember where I heard that word before: Yupp, the German version of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Langstrumpf... And it appears to be named that way in the original Swedish version...

Re: What Made You Laugh Today
A friend of mine works in the aviation industry, doing the bespoke interior of business jets.
When European companies buy a second hand Lear Jet (or whatever) from a sheikh and his employer gets the job to turn that plane into a representative and reputable business plane -> the interior he has to rip out looks like that furniture...
