Odd factoids

[twentysix by twentyfive]

True story....many years ago during the Aids crisis the Government of the day held a National Condom Day. Council workers visited all shops, offices, factories etc., dishing out free condoms.
That night we were doing an overnight 50 mile fell run. On top of Pen y Ghent at 2 AM I got out a dozen condoms and we blew them up like balloons. We wedged them on the summit wall and left them for the early Saturday trippers to find.

That was 30 years ago and we still talk about it. We are sick!!!

Vatican city is misleadingly named. It is actually a hamlet.

I always thought it was a ruddy stupid way to light a cigar. Time it wrong and you get mullered.

Which, incidentally, is how Gerd Muller, the famous footballer got his nickname (real name was Aveknacker, but that's anothers tory [sic]). Poor sod was forever having to be rescued from huge swinging balls - but such was Munich in the 70s, eh?

Cigars were originally invented as novelty joke dog poo. However, following a fire at the factory where they were manufactured it was noticed that the smoky aroma was rather pleasant, and thus people started smoking cigars. sadly, poor people have to stick with smoking real poo.

No that's just the French or ageing hipsters with Gauloises.

In certain areas of our inner cities dried poo sells for more than cocaine. Giraffe dung is the most sought after.

Although in certain up market circles it is rocking horse poo that commands the highest prices among posh junkies.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to call bullshit there. Way more bullshit in circulation

I must say, not matter how bad a day I'm having this thread always makes me chuckle.
