Mate of mine had a severe lisp, and used to scam free pints in the pub by betting he couldn't say 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'. He'd practised and trained himself so well, he could do it, albeit slowly - until about the fourth pint.

But... how did he make the bet...

"oi, I bet you I can say 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'" ???!!

Oh and whilst on pub bets...classic was '£20 says you can't leap in the air and fart at the same time'

You can't...but don't try it...

He were crafty - he'd just mention 'That long word that Mary Poppins says' (or, in his case, that Mary Poppinth thayth), and bet a pint he could 'thay it without lithping'.

I had just returned home from a business trip and my wife asked me how the flight home was. I mentioned it would have been better if I hadn't become sick and lose my lunch during the flight.

She said, "Isn't it nice how they have those little brown paper bags to help you with that?" My reply was: "What little brown paper bags?"

You'll have even more if you throw Jeff Bezos into the mix.

I've started having second thoughts about donating my body to science after I pass away.

I'm now thinking that a nice little family of cannibals would be much more grateful.

I was going to donate my organs and leftovers to science, but so far no takers.

The UK military would also promote the use of their "tin" helmets as wash basins, just remove the liner pour in the water and bobs your uncle. In fact they used to demonstrate how to use a folding hexamine stove (issued as part of the ration packs} to heat the washing water with enough heat left in the hexamine blocks to boil a mess tin of water for a mug of tea.

This all stopped when they issued the new kevlar helmets, apart from the fact they couldn't remove the liner kevlar and burning hexamine don't mix....

Hexamine is horrid stuff. I don't envy the UK Military for having to use that (until recently).

Last year we were invited to a Halloween costume party.
The theme was "dress as your favorite flower.
The Mrs. had to go as a dried arrangement.

I thought Hexamine was a vitamin used by Witches.
