Title: Family Fortunes
Description: Memorable Answers..


petalp - December 11, 2006 11:44 PM (GMT)
As this section seems to include jokes/ funny things, I thought I'd post this.

I was recently talking to someone about some of the bizarre answers that I'd read about from Family Fortunes... and I wondered if someone might have collated these.

A quick trawl on the web, and lo and behold.. a whole lot of the bizarre answers that families might give on the show!!

For those not from the UK, Family Fortunes was a game show that pitted family against family. The crux of the game was that a sample of people have been asked to answer a question. It is up to the families to guess the most popular answers..

I think that there was a version of the show in the USA too? Maybe Family Feud..

Here's a joke i've seen when i've been on holiday in Malta - they sell the joke on shirts and everthing there roflmao

THE ITALIAN MAN WHO WENT TO MALTA:

One a day I'm gonna to Malta to big a hotel. In a morning I got down to eat a breakfast. I tell a waitress: "I wanna two pieces of toast."
She brings me only one piece.
I tell her: "I wanna two piece."
She says: "Go to the toilet."
I say: "You don't understand? I wanna two piece in my plate."
She says: "You better no piss in a plate, you son of a bitch!"
I don't even know the lady and she call me son of a bitch.

Later.
I go to eat to a bigger restaurant. The waitress brings me the spoon, the knife but no fork. I tell her: "I wanna the fork."
She tells me: "Everybody wanna *bleep*."
I tell her: "You don't understand? I wanna the fork at the table."
She says: "You better not *bleep* at the table you son of a bitch!"

So I go back to my room in a hotel and there is no sheets on the bed. Call the manager. I tell him: "I wanna sheet."
He tell me: "To go to the toilet."
I say: "You don't understand? I wanna sheet on a bed."
He says: "You better not shit on my bed you son of a bitch."
I go to the check out and the man at the desk said: "Peace on you!"
I said: "Piss on you too, you son of a bitch."
I'm gonna back to Italia. Arrivederci
