Two men enter a bar at the same time on a hot day and order the same refreshing drink.

Both these drinks are actually poisoned and in exactly the same way.

One man decides to gulp his drink back quickly and then leaves the bar to catch his train. He is fine.

The other man takes his time, sipping his drink slowly. 20mins lateer when he finishes his drink, he gets up to leave the bar to catch his train, but collapsing on the floor he dies from the poisonous drink.

Why did only one man get effected even though they had ordered exactly the same drink and both arrived having been poisoned?


And I thought this was a chemistry question...
The first man says "I'll have some H2O..."
The second man says "I'll have some H2O 2..."

POM! It's been an age and a half since I've been able to post on here and consequently discuss your wet pathetically inclined Government of choice so I'd really just like to say 'Fck off you Tory clunge, I hope your shares in Barclays collapse and how's that Northern 'team' you supported before welshing to QPR?' Keep the gardening tips coming.
What do you do with your time since since writing narsty letters to Gordon Brown, do you still harrass him? 2 years in no doubt you harrass the current gormless Gideon tool. Is he from Tranmere too? Or the promised land that is Pinner....

My congratulations, well done Thai. Five minutes. wow.


Cheers Pom! Amazing how much lateral thinking I can do while bored on a bus from Bangkok to Pattaya! However, arriving in Pattaya tends to lead to thinking about far more important matters....hence the delay in replying!

But enough of this chit chat......where's my fecking prize?!
