Harvesters has a good steak though!

grumblerдобавил комментарий 7 лет назад

That's the one I don't understand, although I know about the restaurant
chain and the agricultural machine :-(

Denis Lukasovдобавил комментарий 7 лет назад

Harvesters are pretty small restaurants hence the joke combine them all together to get one big restaurant.

аааа Спасибо. И длинная пауза между предложениями.

Denis Lukasovдобавил комментарий 7 лет назад

Пожалуйста grumbler.

it's not only that. "combine harvester" is an agricultural machine (комбайн in Russian), so usually "combine harvesters" refers to several of those machines, not to actually combining several restaurants.

I know only Frankie Boyle and Ed Byrne from this list (and they have petty nice jokes here), but I like throne snout the umbrella most.
thank you grumbler. I really enjoyed this list.
I wonder, who are the people, compiling such lists? For some reason I believe they're some of the least funny person's on Earth.
