Chill Oso, I have to say as a Brit that the only one I found funny was the binoculars one. But that is because its real! The others are a bit lame.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

LoL Chill? Ozzy, you misunderstand, honestly I am just curious. I had no intention to cause trouble.

BTW - being a big 3stooges fan - I thought the Moe one was the best.

I think the binoculars one is bogus. Clearly they are armored glasses and from that angle it looks like the caps are on but if you study it - they are not.

No, clearly they are. If you study it like you say, you'll see the hang cords on the bottom of the lens caps.

I have a question. Why would binoculars be armored. . . anyways? Doesn't that seem kinda odd?

Armored is the term used, here in the US anyway, referring to the heavy rubber coating.
