As you can imagine, the jokes have been flying around here in Belgium. Don't get me wrong, i do love Boonen. Heck, i even have a life-size cardboard cutout of him in my bedroom! But these are funny!The top one is called "The new sponsor of Tom". (Het nieuwe truitje van Tom = the new jersey of Tom)
De Lijn (the line) is Belgian's Flemish bus company - probably
because he's off the bike and probably without a driver's license due to his DWI.The one below was sent to me as "Promotie in den ALDI." Translated into "Promotion in ALDI" - a supermarket chain.
Vordeel Pack = Promo Pack
Boonen = beans
The third i just got from Johan. It's called Tommecoke. Below his tommeke nickname, it is slang
for "What are you doing now."I hope they're still funny after my lengthy botched explanations.
And here are some one-liners as well:
- English class... Tommeke, how do you say hello to your team mates? Tommeke: "High!"
- This year, Tommeke will not ride the Tour de France, he prefers the Tour of Colombia.
- Who is the new sponsor of Tommeke? Coca Cola Company: "Taste the coke side of life"
- Boonen and Lore in Thaland. Says Tommeke to Lore: "I want a coke-o-nut."
- After being caught by the police, Tommeke drinks no alcohol anymore, he sticks to alcohol free coke-tails.
- Despite his recent drug problem, Tommeke is still an official citizen of Monacoke.
- How come Tommeke doesn't gain weight in the off-race season? He only wants diet-coke.
