Joke

[Javro]

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were
swimming around in the sea – one called Justin and the other
called
Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and
threatened by sharks that patrolled the area. Finally
one day
Justin said to Christian, "I’m bored and frustrated at being
a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn’t have any worries
about
being
eaten…"
As Justin had his mind firmly on becoming a predator, a
mysterious cod
appears and says, "Your wish is granted", and lo and
behold,
Justin
turned
into a shark.
Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of
being eaten
by his
old
mate. Time went on (as it invariably does…) and Justin
found
himself becoming bored and lonely as a shark. All his
old mates
simply swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin
didn’t
realise that his new menacing

appearance was the cause of his sad plight. While out swimming
alone one
day
he sees the mysterious cod again and can’t believe his
luck.
Justin figured that the fish could change him back into a
prawn. He
begs
the
cod to change him back so, lo and behold, he is turned
back into a
prawn.

With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes, Justin swam back to his
friends and bought them all a cocktail.. Looking
around the
gathering at the reef, he

searched for his old pal.
"Where’s Christian?" he asked. "He’s at home,
distraught that his
best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a
shark", came
the reply. Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain
and torture, he set

off to Christian’s house. As he opened the coral gate the memories
came
flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted,
"It’s me, your
old
friend,
come out and see me again.
"Christian replied "No way man, you’ll eat me. You’re a shark, the
enemy
and
I’ll not be tricked.
"Justin cried back "No, I’m not. That was the old me.
I’ve
changed."…………………
"I’ve found Cod. I’m a prawn again Christian"

errrm, cute but I’m afraid, I somehow missed the point… or will the story be continued?

[Hansione]

I don’t get it too, but I am on the prawn-side

For those of you who don’t get it "I’ve found God, I’m a born-again Christian."

I just didn’t read carefully enough & missed the point + asked & thankfully someone explained. hope, that’s not the reason, you’re feeling low

You’re welcome, bro. I thought it was funny if that makes you feel any better.
