Whilst On My Visit To Edinburgh

[LochNessMonster]

Took my friend to Edinburgh museum on Chamber Street yesterday and when walking past stuffed animals I turned to my little nephew and pointed to a bird on display and said do you know what that bird is called ?

He replied No ?

I said its a OHJA OHJA bird from Mexico, and it was the only bird that could successfully land on a cactus tree?

Had to explain later that I was teasing him. :-)

[BlueToffee]

Had he been to see exhibition of the pygmy Fookawe tribe trying to find their way out of the pampas grass?

[scorpiojo]

LOL

[cupid04]

lol at Nessie and bluetoffee!!

[Obiter]

Was it not the oomegoolie bird?

[maggiebee]

I always thought the OHJA OHJA bird laid square eggs LNM.

[Retrochic]

I'm struggling here, must be really thick but just don't get it? What does OHJA mean?

[cupid04]

Did you hear about the queer sparrow that flew backwards for a lark...

[Retrochic]

ok thanks for the explanation, very helpfull

[askyourgran]

Lol, It was an OOmegoolis bird the last time I heard that joke nessie, but I commend you for cleaning it up for the wee one.

[Obiter]

I'm with Retro. Don't know what OHJA means either.

[murraymints]

Ouch ouch !

[Obiter]

Well, for obscurity, that takes the biscuit!

[Peter Pedant]

Usual crowd saying wha ? whaaaaa ? and meh...

when the Good old jokes are rolled out ...

The oo-ja bird says oo-ja ! when it lands - but surely oomagoolies is more accurate.

Sorry the oomagoolies are the very short pygmies with very long ....
and when they run they say ....

very welcome outing for a few old ones TY

[Peter Pedant]

Luckily your little fren' wasnt told about the winkeyw+nkey bird .....

[Slapshot]

Theres always the Winkyw@nky bird it's eyelash is connected to it's foreskin so when it' winks it w....... don't kick sand in it's eyes ;0)

[berniecuddles]

[Obiter]

A prize of best answer to the first person who can tell me how this song began (first line).

[Retrochic]

How can OHJA be OUCH? -and I thought the pigmy tribe were named wherethe fookawe? think I've strayed into a parallel universe

[murraymints]

Retro it's a Scottish expression...sounds a bit like owya !!

[Slapshot]

Oh we're off to see the wild west show,
The elephants and the Kangeroooooos
Forget about the weather as long as we're together,
We're off to see the wiild west show
