Gro-oan

A piece of black tarmac goes into a bar and says, “Give me a pint and make it quick because I’m hard and scared of no-one”. Just them a piece of red tarmac comes up to the bar and the black piece dashes into the toilet. After a while he come out and says, “Has he gone yet?” The barman says, “What’s all this I’m scared of no-one?” The black tarmac replies, “No-one messes with him, he’s a cycle-path”

Oooo, sorry about that…

Ah, no. Don’t do that, buddy. That is an extremely dangerous idea.
