Press F1
My brother works in IT, as do I, and once related the following tale of a support call:
Bro: Ok, press F1 for the menu
Customer: *beep*
Bro: Hello? You need to press F1 to get the menu up.
Customer: *beep*
Bro: Are you pressing 1 on the phone?
They were.

All robbers are black
My oldest boy, when about five years old informed me that:
"All robbers are black, aren't they?"
"Where did you hear that from? I asked, wondering where this racial sterotyping had come from.
"Well, nowhere, they just wear black hats and black tops, don't they?

» Water, boats and all that floats
"We can twok enyfing!"
While on a boozey lads holiday we met two drunken chaps from Liverpool who constantly professed their uncanny ability to steal anything with wheels on.
While watching the sun come up over the sea the next morning, we again saw this pair of master criminals wandering down to the sea, eyeing up the boats, no doubt about to practice their cunning arts of automobile theft on something without wheels.
Ignoring the number of quite expensive boats currently moored on the beach, they got in a small rowing boat and proceeded to row it, while anchored, for two hours until a large gentleman appeared and shouted at them in Spanish, at which time they fell out of the boat and legged it.

I could have been Boba Fett....
I went to my local boozer many years ago, at about... oh I dunno... before eleven, to get some booze.
Apparently I had just missed Steven Spielberg and Mel Gibson who had just popped in for a coffee en route to Shepperton Studios.
Had I been earlier, I could have had Steve put a word in for me with George, made a decent prequel trilogy and starred as Boba Fett.
