Colleague was adamant he wanted "Asterixes" on his presentation. You got it buddy. I was working in a marketing department in the mid 00s. A colleague, Paul, was pacing up and down behind his desk, dictating a PowerPoint presentation to me whilst I put it together and made it pretty. He said he wanted an ***Asterix*** in front of every bullet point. Well I'm a terrible pedant and don't really get on with this guy. We had an argument yesterday (EDIT: I mean, the day before this incident) about aitch/haitch which he refused to concede despite me practically rubbing his face in the dictionary. So I'm in the mood to argue with him again. *"You mean asterisk, not Asterix"* I said, as passively as possible. He stopped and stared at me. *"It's an ASTERIX. ...RIX. It's a little star if you dont know what it is."* *"Yeah, that's an ASTERISK. ...RISK."* *"You're wrong. It's Asterix."* He looked at our other colleague in this three man department. *"It's Asterix right?"* John just shrugged silently and kept his head down. *"I wasn't wrong yesterday was I? Should I fetch the dictionary?"* *"No need. It's Asterix. End of story. Just do it."* *"I'll do it, no problem. Just to be clear, you want an ASTERIX in front of every point, not an ASTERISK?"* *"YES."* *"Ok buddy."* For the younger ones and those that might not know, ***Asterix*** or ***Asterix the Gaul*** is the main character from an internationally popular French comic. Since Paul was so adamant it was what he wanted, I quickly snagged a suitable picture from Google images; Asterix the Gaul wagging his finger triumphantly in the air. Perfect for making a point. Paul was hoping to print the thing off and head straight into the boardroom by the time he saw it. *"WHAT'S THIS? A VIKING?"* *"I'm confused. It's Asterix. He's a Gaul, not a Viking. It's what you demanded. Weird I know, but you were adamant. I did double check with you."* It was his second loss in two days and if memory serves, the last time we had an argument like that. πŸ˜…

Last summer, I traveled to europe for a 2 week vacation.. On the last night, I decided to go to a club for some action. As I approached the entrance, there was nothing more amazing i'd seen in those last 2 weeks than the bouncer. He was buffed up at least 4 inches taller than me, had long hair, a braided beard, hell he looked like a viking. Surprisingly, he lets me in. Getting in, I noticed a girl standing alone. I approach her and we dance a little. She tels me her name is Sky and she's from Sweden. We dance a bit more, and after a while of her grinding on me, she notices my erection and smiles. She leads me to a bathroom and we enter a stall. She unzips my pants and starts going down on me. She was so good I came in less than a minute. She giggles and takes of her pants, motioning for me to eat her out. After a few minutes, she she shifts and now her ass in my face and i'm now giving her a rim job. She starts moaning loudly and pretty soon there's a knock on the door, and a booming voice shouts, "OPEN THE DOOR!" I freak out and open the stall. It's the Nordic bouncer. "What do you think you're doing in here?", he asks I'm in a daze and stumble for words. He pushes past me and goes for the girl, bends her over and starts eating her ass. Shes moaning even louder now. I'm frozen in shock. I finally muster some courage and ask , "What the fuck are you doing? she's my girl." He turns to me and says: "Sky's rim belongs to the Nords"

The Viking's Talent A man sees a poster advertising a circus that says: "World sensation: A viking cuts a walnut in half with his penis!" He doesn't believe this, so he buys a ticket, goes to the show and there really is a viking who puts a walnut on the table, unzips his pants, pulls out his manhood and with one swing cuts the walnut into two pieces. The man comes out amazed. 30 years later he sees a similiar poster: "World sensation: A viking cuts a coconut in half with his penis!" "Can it be the same viking?" the man thinks and buys a ticket to the show, where he sees the now much older viking slowly coming to the ring, placing a coconut on the table and after an aimed swing with his pecker two halves of coconut fall to the ground. After the show ended the man walks up to the viking and asks him, after this many years, why did he change from walnuts to coconuts? The viking answerd: "You know, at this age, my vision is just not the same."

A joke fit for Viking Fest Ole was on his death bed. The doctor had told Lena that he wouldn't last the night and he might as well die at home on his own bed.

TIFU By making a guy choke in the middle of a long plane flight. So this happened about 2 years ago but it doesn't matter. So I was getting on the plane when a stewardess pulled me over just to inform me that I was sitting next to a 'special person'. He had major autism and had apparently EATEN his mum when he found her dead after she had a heart attack. Anyway, u sit down next to him to see that he is dressed as a viking of sorts. He had an eyepatch covering an eye and one of those viking helmets with one of the two horns broken off. So, I say hi and his carer next to him (on the other side) says hi back. Now, this is where the fuck up happens. Mid flight, everyone gets their food for lunch, the carer asks me a question about where I was from or something, and I I was turning to answer, my arm had a spasm and followed my head with fork in hand. The fork flew around strait into the autistic mans throat. This gave me a fright and I accidentally let go of the fork. This was bad, he was choking. His carer starts calling for a steward for help, and most people are freaking out. His face had turned purple... He was a one eyed, one horned, flying, purple, people eater.
