I heard a good joke on Classic FM a few years back. Yes I know, an unlikely source:
Two friends, an Englishman and a Frenchman both own cats. The Englishman's is call "One Two Three" and the Frenchman's "Un Deux Trois".
One day, they decide to race their cats against each other over the English Channel - One Two Three starting from Dover, Un Deux Trois from Calais. Whoever's cat gets across the channel first wins.
Come the big day, both cats set off, a few hours later One Two Three reached France, but even by the next day there's no sign of Un Deux Trois.
The Englishman phones up his friend to find out what happened.
Well, Un Deux Trois cat sank.....
