We estimate that the effect of the goggles is equivalent to drinking 5 pints of lager.'</p> <p>'The benefit to the wearer is enormous. They can engage in coherent conversation with the object(s) of their desire, flirting and even 'pulling' them without the deletirious effects of intoxification - reeking of booze, slobbering and slurring of words, involuntary farting, incontinence and being incapable of uttering anything more cogent than 'You're lovely, you are.'' he says.</p> <p>'The devices fit tightly around the wearers head - they need to be googles rather than glasses,' he adds, "so they don't accidently get knocked off during the evening. The shock of returning to reality could be traumatic, not to mention, immensely embarassing. We intend to lease them out for 24 hours so that the awful early next morning realisation on waking up to the actuality of what has occurred and what their 'partner' <em>really</em> looks like can be obviated. <em>And no headache!</em>" he enthuses.</p> <p>Witherfork seems unconcerned with the possible downside for his business the googles could produce; profits from sales of alcoholic drinks may plummet accordingly by 50%.</p> <p>'We figure that customers will look at the positive benefits, primarily their 'leg-over' success ratio that the goggles will bring, and consequently be prepared to pay a premium price for them. This will more than make up for the drink sales downturn. That...' he winks '...and the fact that we already charge them through the nose for fizzy lemonade and water. It's a win - win for all concerned!' </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12822#post-34933 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 15:23:50 +0000 pinxit 34933@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <br /> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34525 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:20:47 +0000 arrghgarry 34525@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Golgo are you speechless ? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34490 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:37:42 +0000 Golgo13 34490@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <br /> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34446 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 11:03:33 +0000 arrghgarry 34446@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Whe I mentioned the Pope today ,my friend had never heard of the the term ,in Japanese it is Ho Oo now Ho means the law and Oo means the King .</p> <p>Of course a mixed translation could be king of the Ho`s . </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34383 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 06:09:25 +0000 hero2zero 34383@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Honest, it was an accident! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34351 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 21:42:32 +0000 arrghgarry 34351@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I think I have a touch of gout . </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34336 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 19:57:22 +0000 IABP 34336@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ee bah gum. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34315 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 16:02:20 +0000 pinxit 34315@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hello Barney, I'm at a loss too.<br /> I think (a), (b) and (c) are possibilities, but as I don't know you, couldn't possibly comment on (a) and as they say, 'chacun a son gout'.<br /> My favourable comment was strictly directed to hero2zero's headline, in that's it's very daft but (imvho) <em>funny</em>, not the um... eccentric addendum from 'garry'. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34310 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 15:26:57 +0000 Phlegm 34310@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>(d) Donny501's back and posting under a new name. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34294 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 13:30:11 +0000 Son of Barnabas 34294@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Either<br /> (a) I have completely lost my sense of humour<br /> (b) The standards have dropped considerably since I was last a regular here, or<br /> (c) There is some hidden subtlety that has gone right over my head</p> <p>Yours,<br /> baffled barney </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34267 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 10:45:40 +0000 arrghgarry 34267@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Pope’s teeth drop out ........................ of boys bum </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-34046 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 17:43:04 +0000 pinxit 34046@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I don't know why.<br /> I don't know how.<br /> But this gobbet had me laffing more than anything else I've seen on NB.</p> <p>***** (if I could, but the other one you put on Writers' Room had a follow-up line which, IMVHO, isn't necessary) </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12383#post-33884 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 17:12:30 +0000 hero2zero 33884@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <br /> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=11054#post-31640 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:54:22 +0000 arrghgarry 31640@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I though I starred this already </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=11054#post-31631 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:25:36 +0000 arrghgarry 31631@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>5 for this as welll </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=11054#post-30410 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 07:51:15 +0000 pinxit 30410@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thank you sir. 2 tickers and a story this week - my cup runneth over and I dribbleth a bit.</p> <p>&lt; hic &gt; </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=11054#post-30387 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:16:36 +0000 brownpaperreporter 30387@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>quality! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=11054#post-30238 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 07:38:39 +0000 pinxit 30238@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>'Organic material must be put in the red bins.
