Bad joke alert! Clear the building! This is not a drill!

Guru, you know the expression "Take a pound out the till"? Well in your case we'll make an exception: "Put a pound in the till".

*** is a till? *** does that expression mean? :confused:

'Till' is British English for a 'cash register'.

So the expression means 'Well done, Sir (or Madam), you deserve a bonus."

Good Grief!

pound is the UK currency so for crying out loud have a guess at what a "till" is!

Yes! it's something you put money in. A cash register or whatever you want to call it.

:roll my eyes::rolleyes:

... were those guys serious or are they indulging in a little urinary extraction* at my expense?

How bout using a simple expression:

Put a pound in the cash register :rolleyes:

Either way, that expression too deserves a http://www.vbforums.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

A pound is also a unit of weight in that weirdass imperial system.

Put a pound in the till could also mean put 0.450 kilos of crap on the roof of the house.

:roll my eyes lots and lots: :rolleyes:

Unless, of course, they thought it was Pound Weight. But then they'd've asked "a pound of what?".

Half a kilo...

BTW Guru, while you're in the mood for qualifying the title, you should perhaps point out that it was about a 'poor' joke, lest anyone think it was worth reading in the first place.

See my New Joke post, coming soon to a Forum near you...
