Trifle

[Dingo]

A man is wandering through the desert. Deprived of water for many days on end, he is dying of thirst.
To his amazement, he stumbles across three market stalls set up in the middle of the sandy dunes.

He crawls up to the first one. "Water, water! Give me water!" he cries.
"I'm sorry," says the first stallholder, "I sell nothing but jelly and custard."
Somewhat confused and disheartened, the man crawls up to the second stall.
 
 "Water, water! Give me water!" he cries.
"I'm sorry," says the second stallholder, "I sell nothing but cream and sponge."
 

Losing hope, the man desperately crawls up to the third stall. "Water, water! Give me water! Please!" he cries.
"I'm sorry," says the third stallholder, "I sell nothing but hundreds and thousands.". "I can't believe none of you has any water," exclaims the man.

"I know," says the third stallholder, "it is a trifle bazaar."

In english, trifle can mean, a cake type dish (sort of ) or it can mean "a little". A bazaar is a type of market place basically, bizarre in english means strange but they are almost pronounced the same. So trifle bazaar has two meanings - a marketplace selling trifles or it can mean (in a way) that it's a little strange.

Not a bad effort, not nearly as good as some of mine or Jamoe's though.
