Thought I would share this joke with you all as it brightened up a dull day in the office.
Subject: The prawn story
Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were
swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and the other called Christian.
The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks
that inhabited the area. Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm fed
up with being a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn't have any worries
about being eaten."
A large mysterious cod appeared and said, "Your wish is granted" and
lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately
swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate.
Time passed (as it invariably does) and Justin found life as a shark
boring and lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close
to them. Justin didn't realise that his new menacing appearance was the
cause of his sad plight.
While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again and he
thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn.
He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and
behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn.
With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back to his
friends and bought them all a cocktail. (The punch line does not involve a
prawn cocktail - it's much worse).
Looking around the gathering at the reef he realised he couldn't see his
old pal.
"Where's Christian?" he asked.
"He's at home, still distraught that his best friend changed sides to
the enemy & became a shark", came the reply.
Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture,
he set off to Christian's abode. As he opened the coral gate memories came
flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old
friend, come out and see me again."
Christian replied, "No way man, you'll eat me. You're now a shark, the
enemy, and I'll not be tricked into being your dinner."
Justin cried back "No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've
changed.".........
"I've found Cod. I'm a Prawn again Christian".
"Thought there was a light at the end of the tunnel, but it was some bum with a torch bringing some more work" LOL
