...who had his eye poked out with a short stick.
And...
...someone who was a very nervous flyer who was killed in a plane crash.
I know
an old woman who swallowed a fly......
Why?
Why?
Do you think
She'll die?
I think the prognosis is encouraging...
...provided she doesn't take it as some sort of cue to ingest ever larger and larger animals. That can be dangerous.
I wondered the other day if
anyone had actually "have someone's eye out with that"
I know a song about that
"One Eye Enos" by Toots & The Maytals. In my opinion, the best song they ever recorded.
"Suppose you did knock out the man's eye, what would you do?"
I know someone
With a permanent frown thanks to the wind changing.
I genuinely know
someone who as a kid blinded a fellow pupil with a catapult.
Glad you have taken this literally (that was my intention)
The chap I knew, Richard, was playing with sticks as swords and lost his eye.
I realise that I am pretty tragically connected cos I also know a guy whose 3 year old daughter fell off her trike, cracked her head on the patio and died. A parent's utter dread and yet we all say 'let's not over-protect our kids, let them be free and have bumps etc'.
Hernias can be fun
My dad shot the little neighbour boy in the eye when he came round the corner of the house while dad was practising with his new air-rifle.
Came back to haunt him 30 years later when he turned up as our milkman.
Mind you the guilt was mitigated because it got laddie off military service.
And on an entirely unrelated matter, just watching 5 mins of the Chelsea Flower Show on Beeb, rewarded by a presenter using the phrase 'pom-pom shaped trusses' (see heading).
I've got an uncle called Bob.
.
So have my nephews.
I know someone
who swears his arm was broken by a swan
I know someone
Who lives in a rainforest that is roughly the size of Wales.
I've never been clear:
Is the standard unit for measuring rainforest size a Wales or a Belgium? Maybe the latter is the metric version.
Wikipedia
has a page on this sort of thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_units_of_measurement
OK, that's the morning written off.
Brilliant!
That's fascinating
Though I'm sad to see it doesn't have my favourite useless unit of measurement, for when journalists describe something (often bombs or suspect packages) as being "about the size of a lunchbox."
And no mention of one of the standard engineering measurements.
A gnat's. This may be a "gnat's cock" or, if you're from Scotland, land of proud engineers and finer tolerances, a "gnat's bawhair".
Or a gnat's chuff.
And the thing about a gnat's chuff is that it is, quite literally, as tight as a gnat's chuff.
Sugar sugar
they seem to have left the "bag of sugar" off that list. 2lb, in the old money.
I know
Someone who fought for the heavyweight boxing championship of the world, Earnie Shavers.
I know the way
to San Jose.
Also, my little boy was unwell over the weekend. Shit happened.
I've been to me
quite a few times
I've been to me too
and it was shut.
I found myself
I was down behind the cushions on the couch.
I know a Brain Surgeon
and a Rocket scientist. They've heard all the jokes.
Are they both actually clever
?
I've been to the foot of our stairs
and l've been damned
During my gap year
I worked in factory packing hot water bottles into boxes meanwhile my friend worked on a prawn fishing boat off Australia got bitten by a sea snake, the crew turned on him for being slow on the fish processing line and locked him in a room, chucked rotten fish at him when they let him out and then dumped him onto another boat without paying him.
When I was walking to St Ives...
...I met an old woman who lived in a shoe...
er, hang on a minute...
A mate of mine
whilst walking down the street, actually slipped on a banana skin and fell on his backside. It was funny. He didn't laugh.
I actually know
'the sweet Marie who waits for me' from Is This The Way to Amarillo?
Absolutely?
Sweet Marie?
Despite me having the window open
I have yet to see any of the German Measles coming in.
I know
where the time goes.
Do tell
I'm dying to know (literally)
and I have
known a whole bunch of people who have shown their arse in Burton's window in Stockport!
and who have gone to Buxton
and gone to their house
you figure it out! I never could!
Salmonella
Round ours there's a couple who run a Chinese restaurant. Their kids are called Sam and Ella.
my Auntie Mary.....
..... had a canary !
Go on...
Where did she keep it?
My old man
wears Cor Blimey trousers.
My mate Rob's old man
is actually a dustman.
Would work better if he was a contributor on here...
Does
he like Richard Thompson?
i know it's only rock and roll...
(But I like it)
I know
someone called Mick Jagger
I turned 98
won the lottery, and died the next day.
I told a lie when I was a kid
and I've got the spots on my tongue to prove it.
as a child
Phil Spector ate nothing but the bread crusts
