Hunting unicorns is legal in Cornwall with the purchase of a unicorn hunting license.
The licenses are only issued in limited numbers after a personal interview with the “Chief officer of the Unicorn Hunters”
You know you've been successful if he reads this statement out to you at the end of the interview.
"The pursuit of the unicorn is a lonely quest.” We wish you good luck! |

It is but a "plucked duck" was deemed to look to frightening to have as a character that represented Disney.

Actually your joke would have worked with or without the word unwanted
It's still points out the obvious that everything teenager related stops as one turns 20 , wanted unwanted adds nothing but distraction
However I illustrate it's an oxymoron as 20 year olds cannot ever be correctly be called teenagers |

The world’s oldest socks were in fact designed to be worn with sandals. Made in Egypt sometime in the fourth or fifth century, the wool socks have two toes."
Traditional Japanese dress has socks with sandals ... in a manner of speaking |

Though, ounce for ounce, espresso does have more caffeine than a regular drip brew, a shot of espresso has 120 to 170 mg of caffeine, whereas a cup of coffee has 150 to 200 mg. In fact, it would take two or three espresso shots to equal the caffeine in a 16-ounce Starbucks coffee. |

Human males are the only mammals on the planet without a pubic bone!
Scientists once argued that God made women NOT from one of Adams ribs but of the pubic bone.

"If you stand arms length out from a wall with your palm flat, hold it for 10 seconds, move your arm away and rub your elbow.... you can't put your flattened palm back on the wall x"
Because your body adjusts itself seeming like your arm is shorter when really you’ve just moved position slightly |

"Donald Duck cartoons were banned from Finland because he wore no pants.
But why did he put a towel around his waist when he got out of the bath? "
Humour, after all it's a talking duck with no genitalia so has no need to "cover up" so the towel is unnecessary and adds to the irony.
Even when he's fully dressed he only wears a shirt which makes it dafter |

"The name for the French comes from the tribe the Franks. Which is why Frank Spencer always wore a beret.."
Brilliant, makes sense now; I've always wondered why he wore it.
Underneath their clothing all women are naked! |

They are expensive but I have some if anyone is interested. Tablets to cure gullibility? Are they any good?"
Oh yes. But they are quite expensive and they're invisible too. |

"Polars bears are generally left handed "
Not true. This was an Inuit legend passed into mainstream. In all likelihood it was a hunting technique that they always went to one side for the killing spear thrust. If they trained to always step to one side it removed confusion and decision making time, improving survival chances of the hunters. |

"If you took all the space out of every atom in every human alive today, the solid matter left would be no bigger than an apple."
Given that all the atoms in our body are 99.99999% "space" that makes humans really shit ghosts that need to eat and cant wall through walls. |

Dammit yes, I meant England & Wales. Came from the last census.
Ok this is true... That global image of a white Christmas comes largely from A Christmas Carol by Dickens whose childhood Christmases were during the mini ice age in Europe when there were "frost fairs" on the Thames which froze over every year...

In the original Star Wars trilogy (episodes 4-6), C-3PO's right leg is silver from the knee down. Many people have never spotted this, including even dedicated fans. Most people think he's gold all over. |
