the GNU story

here were 3 gnus, daddy Gnu- mummy Gnu and baby Gnu

They were getting hungry so daddy Gnu said he would go and get some food. After a couple of hours he didn't return, so mummy Gnu went out and looked for him.
Unfortunately mummy Gnu also didn't return and little baby Gnu died because of nothing to eat.

So that was the end of the Gnus, now for the weather forecast

Re: the GNU story

I thought this was going to be about the GNU operating system and freebie packages!

Re: the GNU story

I thought it might have been about a rather obscure trades union – General ********* Union but no, it was one of realspeed's amusing little stories!

On thinking about that though, I wonder what the actual name of that potential Union might have been – 'Nutters', 'No-goods'?

Re: the GNU story

I must be watching too many spy and espionage programmes, as I thought the thread title was about The Russian Military Intelligence Mob, The GRU! Still, it brought back happy memories of that wonderful pair, Flanders & Swann, and their Gnu Song.

Re: the GNU story

The teacher wrote on the blackboard: "I ain't had no fun in months." Then asked the class, "How should I correct this sentence?" Little Johnny raised his had and replied, "Get yourself a new boyfriend."
