Eyjafjallajokull volcano joke :D
During 2009 England demanded lots of cash from Iceland.

Except, they forgot that the Icelandic alphabet doesn't include the letter "c".

So, Iceland cooperated and are now sending England lots of ash.

3. It's re-worded a bit from an e-mail I received, I'm not sure of the original source
but I also added the hyperlinks, fwiw.

5. After Mt.St. Helen.....
I spent many hours trying to get in touch with my brother who lived in Gig Harbor at the time (he told me they were taking some logging roads and going up the mountain to camp out). We were frantic. Turns out my little nephew had a severe ear infection and the camp out was canceled.

When I ask him how things were, he told me that the incidence of VD had really increased since Mt. St. Helen erupted. Really, I asked. Yeah he said, that damed Volcano Dust is in everything.They couldn't get enough car filters or masks. :evilgrin:

11. I saw this on Thursday - it may be the original (posted by an Icelander on another board)

We just got a telegram from UK saying :

"Dear Iceland, we said 'send Cash' not Ash".

The misunderstanding is proubably that "C" is not in the Icelandic alphabet.

12. Ah, that could be. What I got in my e-mail was closer to what I posted than that is,
but it's the same joke at the root, for sure.

18. I just have one question. If their alphabet doesn't have the letter "c", how do they spell . . .
the name of their country?
