    Poontang is:


    a)A tasty sidedish

    b)A lobster Bisque

    c)

    d)Something that these "1337 n00bs" unleash on you

    e) A punch made from the fermented juice from the rare poonberry tree. It became immensely popular during colonial times, it was a favorite of the Founding Fathers, drank constantly by George Washington, as evidenced by his farewell address, I only took the job for the poontang. The first known mention of the word "poontang" was in a 1674 issue of Ladies' Home Jounal when it documented the adventures of up-and-coming golfer Grizzly Adams "...it seemed that all Grizzly wanted was some of her sweete, sweete poontainge...." It quickly spread from one town to another, the first recorded recipe was printed in Ye Boston Globe. It was widely regarded as "whicked retahded" and poontang became widespread.

    Which of these would be classed as a "girly drink"

    a, Pint of Lager
    b, Shot of whiskey
    c, Anything with A STRAW? and FRUIT? or any bottled "fruit flavoured" drink
    d, Yard of Ale

    It's a and b! All the girls* I know drink pints or spirits....

    *excluding Mrs Lucio, who has an inherant ability to change the colour of her drink many many times throughout an evening but may almost certainly fall under a special catagory of "wuv bunny"

    You can't be British and like PB&J And marmalade sandwiches (as opposed to toast) are only for bears who sit in Paddington Station

    a, Pint of Lager

    c, Anything with A STRAW? and FRUIT? or any bottled "fruit flavoured" drink

    Paddington Bear is a British icon! And you forgot cucumber!

    As for Peanut Butter and Jam, of course it's British! It's if you believe that Peanut Butter and Jelly is an appropriate sandwich filling I'd start to worry

    Ignoring the fact i like neither peanut butter or Marmite, you need a "Jelly" option here to catch out those using dodgy american terminology

    A number of people are waiting to use a service, for example, to buy tickets for something. Do you

    a) wait at a distance for everyone to be served and leave before attempting to use the service
    b) quietly join the crowd and sneak your way closer to the front
    c) push straight through the crowd to the front
    d) form an orderly queue
