A bit of humour

Something tells me there would be a very sullen silence later that evening

Silence is Golden

This reminds me of a tale of my Grandfather's from Portsmouth Dockyard a hundred-and-some-odd years ago. A work gang was trying to fit a large machine casting through an opening to install it in a new ship that was being built, and no matter which way they turned it, it would not go through.

As the foreman was beginning to despair of ever getting it in, one of the gangers told him 'I can make it fit'. 'How would you do that?' asked the foreman. 'I'd roll it in on a barrel of beer,' came the answer, and that was all he would say. Eventually the foreman gave in and agreed to pay for a barrel of beer. He was told to absent himself for a while, and when he returned the casting was inside the ship. The beer was duly supplied and drunk, and I believe the foreman never did find out how it was done.

Version I heard was: "When I want your opinion, I'll tell you what it is..."

Or "If I agree with you,dear, then we'll both be wrong."

The Body of Opinion?

Three graduate engineers were discussing who might have been responsible for the design of the human body. The first one said "Think of all the joints etc. it must have been a mechanical engineer". The second one said "No no, what about all the electrical impulses and nerves etc? It must have been an electrical engineer". The third graduate was shaking his head, "You are both wrong, the human body was designed by a civil engineer - who else would run a waste pipe through a recreational area"?

Had a look through these and was generally entertained - but Thai Guzzi's contribution is by far my favourite - Laughed out Loud (and now the wife wants to know what I'm doing - as I'm supposed to be fixing the shower! )

Pigs are creatures most curious.

Mmmmm bacon....

Ah, how we entertained ourselves in teh days before cat videos and emojiis.

I appreciate it's a web link, so wont be seen by many, but if you have an interest in old Landrovers and earlier versions of Windows, this is well worth persevering with.

You do have to wait whilst the screen refreshes, but then again, remember installing stuff under Win95.

Have an explore and see it all the way through.
