EU Directive No. 456179


In order to meet the conditions for joining the Single European currency,
all citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
must be made aware that the phrase 'Spending a Penny' is not to be used after 31st December 2009.

From this date, the correct terminology will be: 'Euronating'.

:eek: Thank you for your attention. :eek:

Made me laugh which for a tuesday isnt bad.... :D

It's a crappy crappy (old) joke.

Made unfunny by the fact that;

A. Are we joining the Euro? (not to my knowledge but the joke is so old that for sure we weren't when I first heard it).
B. I've never heard the phrase 'spending a penny' unless I was spending a penny, which obviously anyone with more than one brain hemisphere would not say 'penny' when the currency does not have that unit of currency.
C. Why on earth would it be called Euronating? That makes no sense whatsoever, it has nothing to do with the phrase 'spending a penny' or anything else.
D. Some pleb just thought the 'word' Euronating sounded very similar to urinating and made a horrible, crappy joke to try and explain it, this person was probably 12 years old.
