Hi, I need some advice. Some guy on the train offered to sell me 8 venison legs for £50 each. Is that two deer?

LOL I believe it is. If you're actually interested in the deal, you may want to ask him what animal it is specifically.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venison

What is the point in quantifying it as "2 deer"?

It's 8 legs as the man stated, and it's probably the rear legs of 4 deer, the front legs don't produce nearly as much meat.

If I were you I'd ask the fella how many kilos he's talking about, thats the best way to measure.

FYI, it's safe to assume that anyone using the term Venison is talking about deer meat. At least where I come from.

There are three possible things going on here:

1) You two missed the joke completely
2) The joke doesn't travel across languages very well at all
3) I'm actually being double-joked upon, in which case I now look stupid.

I don't know which it is

Same here, but you never know. It's always better to ask than get some rabbit's feet. lol

EDIT: Actually, around here they just say 'DUR MEAT'.

Oh, it's a joke. I missed the punch line apparently.

Crap, I think I get it now re-reading.

Let's just pretend we took the joke to a whole new level.

For anyone still missing it, 'dear' is a synonym for expensive. Now read it again with that knowledge

Oh, hahaha. I was thinking to myself, "What a strange question to ask!"

Haha

oh dear that was cringe worthy, you should be ashamed of yourself

Wait, Stephen, was that another joke?

I got it at least

To answer the questions above - the horns of a dilemma?

Some staggering replies though…..

It could have been 2 totally drunk deer or more than 2 fairly drunk deer – totally legless or partially legless?

I thought I understood the joke before I read this. Now I'm not sure what my first name is....

oops no, no pun intended

Oh dear, maybe it's just British humour - or just my warped sense of humour?!

For those of you on the other side of the big pond 'Legless' is Brit term for how you get when you have a few drinks too many!

I thought the first post was funny then read post two and three and thought I had got the wrong end of the stick ! then realised I hadn't

Sounds kinda lame to me.

Arrrggghhh

D'oh.

That was bad.

Oh deer, what have I done?

/me shakes head in disbelief at the bad jokes.

The punch line was a classic

Perhaps I should carry one of these around.

just as well is wasn't an OLD dear... lol


sorry couldn't help my self...


*hides under blanket*

I got it


Reminds me of

What do you call a deer with no eyes ... No idea
What do you you call a dear with no eyes and no legs ... Still no idea.

It behooves you to keep telling jokes that people don't understand.

Oh dear lord.

I... I... I.... I...

That was so bad, I hope you die.

I managed to get it for once

Why did the lobster blush?

Because the sea weed!

What do you call a dog with no legs?
-Doesn't matter, he isn't coming.

Where do you find a dog with no legs?
-Right where you left it.


Random joke:
Why do mathematically-inclined programmers get Halloween and Christmas confused? (HINT: Think number systems)
-Because OCT31 = DEC25. 31 in Octal is the same as 25 in decimal.

I guess you have to be a special breed of geek to classify that a joke.

Its not a joke if you have to explain the punchline before anyone's even responded.

Didn't have to, I just didn't want to have to post again with it. Then someone like you comes along and makes me explain why I posted it in the first place, completely nullifying the genius of my plan.
