I once had a friend who bought a navy blue business jacket and then went on the search for some nice navy blue trousers to go with it. Eventually she bought some trousers in a sale only to find when she wore both the jacket and trousers together that they did not match. Now, she could have just ditched those trousers and bought some correctly matching ones instead, but remember they were bought in a sale so as to get the trousers on the cheap, so ditching them was absolutely out of the question. On the other hand she could have just worn the jacket and trousers together anyway and probably people would not have noticed the difference. But no, this girl had to go around starting conversations with everyone about how one must make sure that clothing colours matches perfectly, just so she could then say "Oh but with navy blue you can definitely mix different shades as they all go together DON'T THEY !"
Now, where were we ? Oh yes, what I am trying to say is that these people that complain to me about Skoda jokes being in bad taste must be Skoda owners trying desperately to convince themselves that they did not make some big mistake in life, and I'll bet they all have navy blue jackets and trousers that don't match properly too !
Here are a few of the weird responses that I have received on the subject :
Did you f.....g idiot ever see a Skoda in reality.I think you
didn't.Skoda is a cool car, both the Felicia and the Octavia. I
don't think you know even one of them.
Die.Check out the SKODA web site at: http://www.skoda-auto.cz/
Then I got this back,
Fine, I understand. I'm sorry for the words I used. Do you really like
the Skoda cars? Ok,bye.
See you in my E-mail box.

I just had a look at your page. Get a life, pal! 15 year old jokes don't make a good web page! -- Barry Chitty
What is a skoda? Some of the jokes are funny, some lack taste.
They may have been funny once, but what other car commands such respect from BMW and Jag drivers.
Most people are so polite when they see 1500 kilos of steel and belching smoke heading towards them.
If Phillip Avery would like to take the issue of Skodas up with me and my University of wales rugby mates, he will soon discover a Skoda can get him to hospital much quicker than two broken legs!!!!!!!!!!! D.Bennett (Aberystwyth)
P.S. The beers of Pilsen / Pzlen are finer than most Uk brewers can produce. Such a cheap car = more beer money.
P.P.S I was stopped for speeding, but I was let off due to the Copper laughing too much.
