Just in....terrorist threat

After the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745, kilts and bagpipes were outlawed, the pipes being classified as instruments of war.

I guess I'd be a little miffed about guys running about in skirts, blowing into a bladder made of dead animals?


Dude can you pick up a claymore and lend a hand, instead?

You clearly have never been forced to endure a "serenade" by a group of bagpipes. LOL

A true and amusing story: A few years ago, a friend of mine went to Austrailia. At Customs, he was asked if he had a criminal record.

His response: "Is that still a requirement?"

He almost didn't get his holiday!

Hee hee......I'll tell you a little bit of history here...............
When Australia was first colonised as a penal settlement, the British soldiers knicknamed the convicts "Pommies".....the short form of that POME, means Prisoners Of Mother England.
But the system the Brits had in place here, was that the harder a convict worked, the more food and tobacco he received.......the average British soldier who were guards etc etc....received a ration a food and tobacco that was almost hardly anything, and on top of that, once posted here, the Brits were never allowed to go back to Britain.
So we had a situation where the British soldiers had to trade favours for food
with the convicts....the convicts naturally had the goodies, and of course the upper hand.
The knickname POME soon became the knickname of those poor British soldiers, who were a actually the TRUE Prisoners of Mother England........and ever since then, and to this day....we call the Brits...... Pommies.....or the shirt form...POMS.
I guess it's just another one of those situations that backfired on the Brits, and of course........there has been heaps of those instances....LOLOLOL
Wom

So, mating cats outside the open window don't count?

I can handle the screeching, it's the old elementary school urge to go 'skirt flipping' that has me all weirded out.

Catty,

The man who lived next door was heading back to the U.S. after a trip into Tijuana.

He was drunk as he hit the control point and the border patrol cop asked him where he was from....


"My mother!", he said.

LOL, a true but sketchy answer?

Maybe one day he will mate.....better let him know to get the earplugs purchased beforehand tho. Hee hee
