Mahatma Ghandi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.
This made him what?
Oh man this is good.......

I feel stupid, but I just can't figure this one out. Can someone enlighten me?
Don't feel stupid, Izzy, I don't get that one either.
I'm wondering if maybe its a British pronounciation of the name? Beatrix sounding like "Bee-er-trix" (Beer Tricks). Otheriwse I'm lost too.
Sorry for the quote-tastic post, but yes, you are right.
Probably even more British:

Two tourists, one Polish and one Czech, are on holiday in countryside outside a small village. On arrival they are warned by locals not to go too far out, as there are vicious bears roaming the area, able to eat a man whole, and they always hunt in pairs - usually parents. The two, being experienced travellers, shrug off the warnings as over-concern and continue on their trip, agreeing with the locals to make a call the following morning and let them know they were safe. Night falls and they set up their tent. Sure enough, within hours a couple of bears appear at their site and attack. The following afternoon, worried by the lack of contact, the locals send out a search party. Quite quickly they discover the camp site, with no sign of the two travellers. Nearby, however, is a large cave with both bears asleep in it. The locals shoot both bears and hesitantly cut open the stomach of the female. Sure enough, a distinctive necklace the Pole had been wearing is visible among the contents. Their worst fears confirmed, one of the locals looks up from the bear and says to the other, "Do you know what this means?" "Tell me." ... (sorry) "The Czech is in the male."
Jesus and Satan are having a computing competition. They each have to write 1000 words, without spelling mistakes, in 10 minutes. The two sit down and begin furiously typing. At the 9 minute mark, Satan, already at 970, sits back and basks in his imminent victory - inadvertently hitting the reset button for the bank of computers, causing both his and Jesus' to reboot. Satan shouts in anger, having lost all his work. Jesus, by contrast, simply shrugs, loads up his file and continues. Satan, incredulous, turns to the judge. "Why," he demands to know, "isn't he mad in the slightest?" The judge just shrugs. "Jesus saves."

I used to know this guy who wrote really bad puns, so bad that no one ever laughed at any of them. He got tired of the fact that his puns never made anyone laugh, and set about to change it. So one day he wrote down what he considered to be his ten best puns and showed them to everybody he met, figuring that one of them would make somebody laugh. But unfortunately... ...no pun in ten did.

There was this Cardinal in the Catholic Church who really wanted to become Pope some day. The only problem was that back in WWII, he'd been a pilot, and had been horribly injured in a plane crash. He'd lost one of his arms and one of his eyes, and his skin was so badly burned that it turned purple. The Vatican told him that there was no way the church could accept a one-eyed, one-armed, flying, purple Papal leader.

Pierre, the french fighter pilot, is on a date with a young lady. They go on a picnic in the country. After a while, the young lady turns to pierre...
"Oh, kiss me pierre!"
Pierre goes into the basket, and pulls out a bottle of red wine, and splashes it into the girls face, and then kisses her passionately on the lips.
"Oh pierre, why did you do that?"
"Because I am Pierre, the french fighter pilot, and when I have red meat, I like red wine!" he replies.
A little while later, things are heating up on the date.
"Kiss me lower down pierre!"
Pierre rips off the young ladies blouse and bra, grabs a bottle of white wine from the picnic basket, and splashes it across her breasts, and then starts kissing them passionately.
"Oh pierre, why did you do that?" the young lady gasps
"Because I am pierre, the french fighter pilot, and when I have white meat, I like white wine!"
"Oh pierre!"
A little while later again, and things have heated up even more.
"Pierre... I want you to kiss me... Lower down"
Pierre rips off the young ladys underwear, goes into the picnic basket, grabs a bottle of brandy and splashes it between his dates legs, pulls out a lighter and sets the brandy alight. As his date is beating out the fire, she shouts at him
"Pierre you NSFBSK!!! Why the hell would you do something like that?"
"Because I am Pierre, the french fighter pilot, and when I go down... I go down in flames!"

atimnie, I just heard that one the other day with the answer, "A nun falling down the stairs."
On that note...
A group of friars wanted to renovate their abbey, which had fallen into disrepair. To raise funds for the project they opened a flower shop. The flower shop was very successful, but the owner of the flower shop down the street did not appreciate the competition.
He tried various tactics to drive the friars out of business - lowering his prices, advertising his own store in the paper, even spreading nasty rumors about the friars. Nothing worked.
In desperation, he hired a hitman named Hugh. Hugh beat up the friars and vandalized their shop. The event was so traumatic that the friars decided to close their flower shop.
The moral: Only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
