Hi Bert

So thats why you ski whilst holding your bagpipes....they are your personal airbag incase of accidents.

The sign meant only toilet paper was to go in the floor. So the expulsions from the body were to go where? The floor?
I would hope that all users of public facilities are civilised enough to actually use them properly.

Once went to a Tampa Bay Lighting game vs some Canadian team. Within the first minute of the game the helmets were off and the fight was on! Apparently there was some bad blood from the previous game some months back.
