Army Pranks;

Jon Peel’s Home Truths on radio 4 had a story on the 2/11/02 about someone who bought a KitKat and a coffee and sat with someone she did not know at a table in a café.  She took a piece of the KitKat then the man took a piece until it was finished. She thought it strange that the man should eat half her KitKat until she put her hand in her pocket latter and found her KitKat.  She had inadvertently eaten the stranger's KitKat.

Someone off work following a stay in hospital, with little to occupier her when she was phoned by a double-glazing salesman. Avril always says to tellisalesmen don’t waste your time go on to your next call. Anyway the salesman was insistent, so Avril admitted that she does like plants, but a conservatory would have to be on two levels, this was off cause, was possible. Avril wanted to be sure they could build a conservatory on to her flat, but the salesman was sure they could build up walls, and around corners. After half an hour Avril gave her address flat 3, etc. and a time was agreed for their salesman to call. Just as the salesman was about to ring off, she said did you get the address right - second floor flat, the salesman called her a cow or something and rang off.

Wheel-Barrow

My Friend George Lott reminded me of a good old joke.  "A man wheels a wheel-barrow of straw through the town every week.  Copper suspects he's stealing something, goes through the straw and finds nothing.  Next and every week, the same and the copper find's nothing in the straw. Eventually copper retires but want's to know what the man is stealing.  He says to the man I'm retired and can't work out what you are stealing - and I won't do anything about it if you tell me.  Man says 'Wheel-Barrows'"

To tell you a little more about George: - He drinks in the High Brooms Tavern (formally High Brooms Hotel). He always uses a jug because although the beer in straight glass tastes the same, but there is a risk of the glass slipping though your hands on a new fifth pint. This happened once while he was talking to someone, the full glass hit the wooden floor, and the beer rose out of the glass. At this point the pub went silent. The pint all but a few spots fell back in to the glass, George bent down, and picked up the pint (thinking I could look a fool here) continued his conversation, and drinking his beer. 20-second latter conversation resumed in the bar. Subsequently, someone else told him that he went straight home thinking he had had far too much to drink when he saw that.

George tells me his wife only found out that he was drinking when he came home sober one evening. - As I said the old ones are the best.
