This is a question Stuff I've found

Freddy Woo writes, "My non-prostitute-killing, lorry driving uncle once came home with a wedding cake. Found it in a layby, scoffed the lot over several weeks."

What's the best thing you've found?

In the name of science
I found that twatting a chimp with a baseball bat makes it "A bit irritable"

I also found that flung chimp poo flies further than you would think.

My kids claimed to have found a baby at Shell Island.
I said naaah, no way! People don't leave babies lying around!
But it was true.

They'd found a toddler of about 3 and a half, who'd sneaked out of the back of the family tent and gone off to find the beach.

She'd got stuck halfway down a little cliff thing thing, surrounded by spiky plants, and couldn't get up or down.

The kids and I formed a human chain and dragged her up to the top, and I stood her on the bonnet of my van so she could point out where she'd come from.

In the distance we could see a woman blundering about in more of the spiky bushes, dementedly calling a child's name.

I asked the toddler, who's that? and she calmly replied 'Mummy!'

Mummy was obviously fraught with fear. This was soon after James Bulger's murder, so I can imagine what was going through her head.

We attracted 'Mummy''s attention and the child was soon returned to her family.

When Madeleine McCann disappeared, I bet 'Mummy' thought of my kids and blessed them.

A few weeks back
One of my cats - not Basil the Smug Cat but Kitty the Flat Faced Cat - another rescue job - caught a mouse.

Nothing strange about that.

However, an hour or so after she'd caught this mouse I found three tiny baby mice foetuses on the path where Kitty had eaten the mummy mouse and spat out the babies.


They were all gone by the following morning.

An audacious claim!
I jsut found this:

swordfishtrombone invented the word Flolloping.

Myself and the missus have used this work for nearly 3years. It describes the act of a lady juggling her boobies.

I found ALL THE KEYS TO THE NATWEST BANK
lyimg in the road, in a black leatherette pouch, next to the local branch.

About 18 keys, all sorts, including Chubb ones. I expect they were for the safes.

I handed them in to the nearby cop-shop and continued home. Within the hour a well-dressed but agitated middle-aged man was on my doorstep, offering me a large (but not vulgarly so) box of good quality chocolates.

He thanked me for returning the keys but wouldn't admit where they were from. I cajoled him a bit over it, as he pulled out a big hankie and wiped sweat off his forehead.
He looked to me like a VERY relieved bank manager.

The keys did belong to the Natwest bank, as the letter I had from the police a few weeks later confirmed.

My teacher having a heart attack in her classroom just before the end of lunch...
Yep, that's right, I did.

She was grabbing her shoulder and making this wierd piercing screaming sound and pushing books off her desk. Which I personally thought was really melodramatic...

Thing is, I didn't really think too much about it at first and used it as an excuse to be naughty - threw my books on the floor, kicked them nice and hard, then walked over to her to help.

Must have been about 10 seconds of me looking at her and being defiant before I actually did anything - and if you think about it, thats actualy quite a long time and is also quite worrying.

I phoned a taxi
At a house party to do a quick pick-up for us as we were short of Vodka. I said get Smirnoff 70cl, and if the worst comes to the worst get own brand any old shite Tesco Vodka...

Half an hour later the taxi turns up with:



TESCO VALUE GIN


I don't recall much thereafter...

=edit=
Hmm let me rephrase that for the sake of QOTW.

When the Taxi turned up I found that he'd purchased......

TESCO VALUE GIN

Skid Marks in my Father's pants...
I know, shudder shudder. It was rank. And I think to a certain degree it make me respect him a teeny weeny itsy bitsy fraction less than I had previously.
Sounds drastic I know but there is something about a person who doesn't have the ability to wipe their own arse properly that really gets to me. It's as if it shows incompetance for the most basic tasks.
Urgh...

Short and sweet...
absolutly skint, in my student house, scraping around coppers to get enough for some baccy - anything... was nearing the 1.20 or what ever it was, but needed the extra 10p...

Aham - the ovver sized coffee cup that I keep crap in - there should be coppers in there.

Small red pouch thing - I open and find 2 20's and a tenner!!! Rich!!! so I went and got beer too!

I found a knife as a kid out the back of a pub hidden to be found later - but dad took it off me as it had been double edge sharpened... and the tip broken off, no blood though.

Y'know
I reckon Rob is there, watching us beg him, saying "beg me harder, bitches".

And just for that, I say nay. Run this QOTW another week. Let Pooflake run wild with puns, and everyone else run wild with tales of funding narcotics under things. Begging is for dogs and hobos.

A Hand
Not me technically, but a chap at college, spaceman Ed- who could have featured in last weeks qotw.
Picture the seen, 5 fresh faced young lasd eating dinner, making conversation about girls and stuff, when Spaceman ed pipes up
" Oh I forgot to tell you , We found a hand in our back garden ."
Conversation stops
"what???" says four quite alarmed confusci
"YES THERE`S A MURDER HUNT"
"WHERE????"
"at home" says spaceman
"what? our home?" says four even more alarmed housemates confusci.
"no my parents house" says spaceman- now his parents weren`t short of a bob or two, they had a house with a tennis court, but his dad washed his hair in washing up liquid. half the house was full of junk, the other faded grandeur.I digress
next question from mr confuscious
"when was this then??"
and the delightful reply, from our apted named fellow was
"weeks ago"
confucious he say" whatyoufoundahandinyourparentsbackgardenandyouforgottofuckingtellyourfuckingmates!!!!!"very quickly.
"yes..sorry...i must have forgotten..." says spaceman.
HOW THE CUN*YFU*K YOU CAN FORGET TO TELL YOUR MATES THERES A MURDER HUNT IN YOUR BACK GARDEN???
Anyhoo- turns out after the police investifgation- said hand was a mummified ancient hand and not the butler/cleaner/bastard son of spaceman.
But the spaced outtwat had forgot to tell us.
