if anyone want to do a perfect impression of a cow...

and I mean PERFECT....

don't say the simple, boring, 'Moo!' Have you ever heard a cow say 'moo!' in the way it's spelt? I think not.

Instead, try saying the word 'Mirror' in a Northern Irish accent.

THAT sounds just like a cow!

Well done, excellent impression. Give yourself a pat on the back.

I can't remember where I heard this. I didn't make it up by myself.

I DID make up the 'pat on the back' comment, but noone seems to have got the joke...

*sigh*

I remember this Urdu ad was advertising this thing with the brand name of GIT. Yup, that's right, GIT!
The ad was saying how good GIT was. Me and my sister were laughing our heads off!
