Titanic II - no, not a joke...

[Highlander]

If it all goes to plan a life size and slightly adjusted (Chinese built) replica of the Titanic will set sail for New York from Southampton; hopefully the Gods will not be displeased nor affronted...

How humidore you, Dave!

Monica brings her stained dress to the old Chinese drycleaner. Not understanding her that well, the old man perks an ear and asks: "Come again?"

"No, just mustard", Monica says.
