Strange happening don't you think?

After a long journey in the desert, two guys arrive at a small town. They get off their camels and go off in search of a well needed drink of water. They walk into the local market and ask one of the stall holders if they could buy some water "I'm sorry, I have no water but I can sell you some lovely refreshing jelly and custard".

"Jelly and custard? No, we want some water, thanks anyway". The two walk to the next stall and ask the stall holder if they can buy some water. Once again they are told that there is no water but they could buy some jelly and custard, again they refuse and go to the next stall.

The same thing happens here and at the next five stalls. Eventually the two guys give up and decide to make the journey to the next town where they know there is a public well where water is plentiful and free.

As they leave the town one guy turns to the other and says "Don't you find it odd that all of those stalls only sold jelly and custard?"

"Yes" replied the other "It was a trifle bazaar"

Funny you should say that..

I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf.

He said, "No, the steaks are too high."

another example

There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

LOL DF: A trifle is a dessert dish made from thick (or often solidified) custard, fruit, sponge cake, fruit juice or, more recently, jelly (gelatine)

Its a play on words with bazaar/bizzarre.

Brit: Now, dint I make Falooda outta ur joke?? (Hope u get that one!! :-p)
