Working in a brewery as a teenager back in Waterford
we, the holiday workers, were allowed one bottle of soft drink each at morning break, so we arranged to relabel some bottles of alcoholic cider with apple juice labels. Relabelled dozens of bottles, enough to see us through the summer. Second week of the holidays all the bottles got shipped out to be sold. That would have been one hell of a kids birthday party. We were let go within weeks.

One way ticket...
A friend of my nephews came down from newcastle on the train last sunday and an old lady sitting next to him died. He said the worst thing was his friend didn't believe him and tried to get her to stand up.
The guard said there was nothing he could do so they'd keep going...

Water Saving Tip
You know the old story about putting a brick in the cistern to save water when flushing, well I decided to see if it would work anywhere else.
Believe me it works a treat when you put the brick in the washing machine. We haven't used any water in it for about 4 months now. Talk about saving the planet...

Neigh...
I still regret missing out on that job with the blacksmith.
He asked me did I ever shoe a horse and all I could say was, "No, but I told a donkey to fuck off once..."
Sorry about the radius but the tablets are kicking in

Where's the cheese...
My father, years ago, worked for the local council as a health inspector. One of his duties was to go around to real old graveyards and test vacent spots for remains. He often brought us with him for a day out. He had to drive an oversize cheese tester about 6 or 7 feet into the ground, give it a twist and pull it out again. We got to search the sample for bone fragments and bits of cloth. If we found none it was safe to bury someone there. Space was obviously at a premium.
Another one he taught me when I started working was whenever you survey a graveyard look out for the graves that are off line. They'll be the burials from around christmas. Drunken gravegiggers and all that. He was right.
