I used to live on a farm
which one day went up in flames.

Running from the house, I went hell for leather towards the enclosure where the old bull was kept, throwing buckets of water around its wooden walls to stave off the approaching fire.

My father, unsure why I bothered to protect that particular enclosure above all others, questioned my actions.

"Surely that old rickety thing would just just burn down and let the beast escape?" he said.

"Ah yes", I replied. "But you misunderstand. I have to save this particular structure. It's my most treasured possession in the whole world. In dis pen's a bull, in fact!"

_{Do I get the prize for the most contrived answer this week?}

@HLT
I've been in Germany. Spent four days in Munich over the weekend as I had gigs there. Actually, I spent most of the time drinking beer and not sleeping, so I've been knackered the last couple of days now I'm back to work.

I don't even like beer...

@CHCB - Thanks. I think.

@K2K6
Welcome back, have a non-beery alcoholic drink.

Whisky?

Whisky's good, ta.
But a nice dark red wine's better!
