    thats funny. the wife wanted to go to some expensive place with the husband. this usualy means going to a fancy restaurant or something like that. and he took her to a gas station because the oil is very expensive. this joke is a critic to the oil price right?

    i dont know a lot of jokes :( but i would like to hear more :) see you

    What kind man!!! But he’s right, the most expensive place is the oil station becous of oil price!!!

    And you ? have you taken your wife at the oil station? or in Australia is the price lower?

    Bye bye

    I’ll tell you another joke.
    that’s the first time when a Minister for Foreign Affairs’s country in Africa visited The United State according to the invitation of Minister for Economy’s America.They’re close friends in highschool . he’s so suprised when he saw his friend’s house . Everything ‘s very luxurious . those ‘re antiques such as : pictures of Leona Devency , rugs from Middle East , head of rhinoceros , sofa’s coverd by tiger fur ,…So he asked his friend to know how he could become a wealthy . Minister for Economy gave a faint smile and said:
    -Do you see the bridge over there?
    -Yes , but what does it mean?
    -Ok, we’d paid 2 million dollars . However it costed 1 million dollar. Have you understood this problem yet?
    -!!!
    After one year ,he sent to his friend an invitation for a party on his birthday . His friend couldn’t believe everything he’s saw : all of them ‘re made by gold , evenif the toilet .Minister for Economy’s America asked him :
    -My dear friend, how did you pay for your enormous property ?
    -Well, well, I’ve just done the same your way!
    -????
    -Do you see the bridge overthere ?
    _What are you saying ? I don’t see anything .
    -You did understand this problem!

    Marcos – you are right!

    Roberta – No I do not take my wife to the gas station for a date! The petrol here is also expensive. But these days it is gettign cheaper.

    BTW – in Australia we don’t say ‘gas station’ we say ‘petrol station’. How about in your country?

    Jane- ha ha!! So you mean he didn’t build the bridge and so they he is rich?
