no1brightongirl: oh mike you are a case
Hi B1
Glad you think so -
In my trade we deal with Nuts & bolts so an allegedly true headline in a news paper many many years ago before you were born about an escapee from a lunatic assylum They were called that then (in factory slang a nut factory) read -
Nut screws washers and bolts

-
It's my type of humour as it is many stand up comics today. Now here is another.
Dave & Jim
Dave and Jim were a couple of drinking buddies who worked as Aircraft
mechanics in Melbourne .
One day the airport was fogged in and they were stuck in the hangar with
nothing to do.
Dave said, 'Man, I wish we had something to drink!'
Jim says, 'Me too. - Y' know, I've heard you can drink jet fuel and get a
buzz.
You wanna try it?'
So they pour themselves a couple of glasses of high octane booze and get
completely smashed.
The next morning Dave wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels.
In fact he feels GREAT! NO hangover! NO bad side effects. Nothing!
Then the phone rings. It's Jim. Jim says, 'Hey, how do you feel this
morning?'
Dave says, 'I feel great, how about you?'
Jim says, 'I feel great, too. You don't have a hangover?'
Dave says, 'No that jet fuel is great stuff -- no hangover, nothing. We
ought to do this more often.'
Yeah, well there's just one thing.'
'What's that?'
'Have you farted yet?'
'No.'
'Well, DON'T, 'cause I'm in Perth.'
