Bond girl parts are interchangeable? Actually, that makes sense...

One of my favourite juxtapositions is just around the courner in Bayswater - we have a brothel and right next-door is the German electronics giant Siemens. Makes you wonder doesn't!

LOL, I've never thought of that. Next time I go to bayswater bulk I'll have to giggle under my breath as we drive past.

I'd say since Siemens has spent probably more than one Billion Euros on bribes in the last few years, the brothel is just in the right place. Hope they got the business - support your local industry!

I've always found the company name funny, just never mentioned it to anyone because I am trying to uphold the myth that I am naive

It's how it is said Prinz, rather than how it's read.

Somehow that still doesn't give me a clue. How would you pronounce it?

Sea-mens I would think.

That is how I do. Is rather a gutter joke though. ;)

There was a funeral parlour I heard about owned by two men by the names of Human and Pitt. Now I don't think you get more final than that...

Old joke time approaching.........

Little fish to mother fish as submarine goes by: Mummy, why do they call those things 'used condoms'?

Mummy fish: It's because they're both full of se(a)men.

<looks for double dose of little white pills>



But are the robot Bond girls with the interchangeable parts made by, or partly, by Siemens? Is James Bond himself(itself?) merely a collection of replaceable electronic components? Does this help, explain why in forty five years of unprotected sex he(it) has never caught a 'social disease' or had any progeny? Is Bond merely Q's method of gaining release of suppressed sexual tensions? Whatever happened to the painting of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies?

Bond girls are by definition pneumatic. Pneumatic tubes are sterilized.

**edited to fix spelling

**edited again to say I got pneumatic right, it was sterlized that threw me

I bet it came as a shock to the tubes as well.

I was going to start a Bond girl name competition, but everything I came up with is NSFFF (Not Safe For Family Fforum).

It's because of Ms. Galore, right?


I forgot about knowing of somebody named Memory Smart-
wish I was making that up...
