I'm sorry mate, you're going to have to explain that one to me.

It's really not worth it . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . but I'll give it a go.

Dutch people wear wooden shoes known as cloggs.
To 'pop one's cloggs' is a slang term for death - like kicking the bucket, shuffling off this mortal coil, pushing up daisies etcetera.

It was a poor joke to start with; it's even worse in translation
But it won't stop me sharing another

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Jean Claude van Damme and Steven Segal are sharing a beer in a Hollywood tavern discussing a possible joint venture.

'Y'know' grunts Stallone 'I'd like us to make an action movie based on the lives of four famous composers. For example, I've always wanted to play Beethoven.'
Van Damme chimes in. 'Great idea! I could play Tchaikovsky!'
Seagal is quick to follow. 'And I turn in a mean Rimsky-Korsakov!'
They turn to Schwarzenegger.
The big Austrian sets down his beer, wipes his mouth on the back of his hand, looks each of them in the eye and says;

'I'll be Bach.'



I know, but it's not like you haven't been warned.
