    Ok this started off on our works notice board as someone selling conkers (I'm sure he was having a laugh) and it went on like this. I thought i'd post this up as funny things on our noticeboard tend to get deleted by admins with their senss of humor removed.

    --- It started with this.
    Subject: FOR SALE: Conkers
    I have a large bag of freshly dropped conkers that a small child would be really excited about.

    If you would like them, email me and you can have them for £10.

    Dave ******* (to protect the gulty!)

    which quickly digressed to this!

    I was always told that money doesn't grow on trees…..

    I have been misled all these years. …. Right…… how much do you think acorns are worth?

    subject: WANTED: URGENTLY required - Conker Polishing Machine
    I am seriously considering purchasing a freshly-picked bag of conkers, and wonder where I may be able to acquire a conker-polishing or conker-buffing machine. Many thanks.

    Subject: Conkers Futures - advice needed
    Does anyone know a Financial Adviser with knowledge of the Conakers Market? I heard a rumour that OPEC (Organisation of People Exploiting Conkers) was about to push prices up, and was wondering if a punt on the Conkers Futures market might give a worthwhile fillip to a widows' and orphans' pension fund. Is it true that Gordon Brown taxes 'windfall' profits?

    SubjectL Conkers
    Before anyone decides to invest in conkers, I seriously advise you check their quality. My squirrel - for - hire will do this for you for only £15 per hour, during which time she will sort and grade up to 200 conkers. Extra charge for conkers still with shells on.
