A Londoner was punting down the Thames when his oar slipped out of his hands. He drifted aimlessly till his path crossed that of a rowboat. In the rowboat were a man and two young women.
The punter called out, "Sir, will you lend me one of your oars?"
The rower became furious and answered sharply, "They're not 'ores'! They're my two sisters!"

i could never figure it out, i thought, why the plane? are the clouds high in spain?
i'm not joking either...
Hahahaha, me too!!! I thought it was referring to it never actually raining in Spain, and that's why people go on holiday there!!!
As I'm no longer 5 years old, I am aware that it does rain in Spain, I just figured it was a figure of speech!
