Ignorance"A girl who used to work for me believed that saveloys are made from fish because 'you get them from the fish shop'." Says Richard Mcbeef. He goes on to say "I was getting on for 40 before I became aware that medical doctors don't all have doctorates."

My uncle was an engineer, a very intelligent man......who in his time had worked on some impressive projects mainly in the production industry (the guy who builds the machines that builds the machines)...anyhow once he came over for tea when i was about 16...he was walking around our garden crushing the empty snail shells when I asked him why he was doing it he said "so the slugs couldn't use them as a bigger house". I thought he was having a joke at my expense...but it turned out he wasn't.
