Two fruit pastels are sitting at a bar chatting. In walks a Smartie. One of the Fruit Pastels says to the other "I am afraid of him. He bullies me." So the other says "well there is no need for that. Tell him how you feel and maybe he will stop." So the first Fruit Pastel plucks up courage and speaks to the Smartie. "Look," he says. "I just want to enjoy myself here with a beer and my mate. I don't want any trouble." So the Smartie says "Well, Ok. Sure. I am sorry, I didn't realise I made you feel that way. Enjoy your beer and I won't hassle you." So the Fruit Pastel goes back to his friend, feeling much better, and enjoys his beer. Somewhile later, a Polo walks in. The first Fruit Pastel suddenly gets scarded again. Apparently the Polo is an even worse bully than the Smartie ever was. So the Fruit Pastel's friend says "why don't you talk to the Polo like you did with the Smartie? That worked." The first Fruit Pastel replies "No way - he's menthol!"
Two pieces of tarmac are enjoying some beer. In walks another bit or tarmac, but this one in coloured red. One of the grey tarmac pieces hides. "Why are you hiding from that red piece of road?" His friend asks. "He beats me up and I don't like it!" Comes the reply. "Well I think you should talk to him about how you feel." So the first piece of grey road steps up and approaches the piece of red road and says "I don't want any trouble. I just want to drink my beer and not be intimidated by you." So the red road covering says; "I am so sorry. I didn't realise my antics were distressing you so much. I won't hurt you any more." So a little while later when the two bits of grey road are on their next beer, in walks some green road covering. The first piece of grey road suddenly got very scared and hid. His friend suggested he spoke to the green road covering, just as he had done with the red road covering. "No way!" came the reply. "He's a cycle path!"
Old, I know but they still make me laugh.
