[Siobhan]

A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a shotgun and points it at him. The man says, thank you and leaves. Why?

the guy need to pee so when the bartender points a gun at him he wets himself

[feelingyellow]

he tripped?
he fell?
the camel went crazy and jumped so high he fell off?
the sun is very hot so he's fainted
ohhh i think this might be it - sand is cooler then the sun so he is cooling himself down (depends if this is what my teacher said in geog last year - i might be totally mixed up lol)

[Siobhan]

she is blond and the music is telling her to breath in and out. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]
