» Advice from Old People

One piece of advice to take with you.
Good friends of ours had a BBQ to say goodbye to a couple of students that had been here in Lanzarote for work experience. Our friend (we shall call him "Weasel") owns a pool company, and said that he had one piece of advice that the young lady should always carry with her. Now "Weasel" is an intelligent chappie... and rarely says anything if it's not worth saying.

So we all sat forward waiting for this gem of wisdom...

It all went quiet...

Weasel said "Never let them cum in your eye!"

You can imagine the response.

Edited: Ok, so "Weasel" isn't old... but it cracked us all up!

» Dumb things you've done

Burnt palm
When I was about 6 years old, my Mum and I were living at my grandparents house for a while. Anyhoo... Mum was out somwehere... and my nan had just given me a big juicy ice pop. But the ice hurt my sensitive teeth... so I went and put the electric hob on - thinking maybe I could melt the ice pop a little bit. But how would I know it was warm enough to do it? Oh by putting my palm flat down onto the electric ring. Twat! Yes it hurt, yes I cried, yes I had blisters.
Stupid thing was... I couldn't own up to what I'd done... so I went out into the garden... and blew on my sore hand lots hoping it would miraculously heal. Eventually the pain was too much... so I went and held out my hand to my Nan - who incorrectly assumed I'd been messing around with her deck-chair and sustained an injury that way. Erm...
