Had to read the title twice - thought it said 'learned how to walk like
a sailor'. |

They also have a nation that stands 100% behind the team - no matter how many persons of colour are playing. I wasn't talking rugby, but I think we all know that. |

![]() Well, not seriously pissed off, but.
Posted some old farm pictures on FB which turned out to be wildly popular. Most comments as expected, but a couple of people speculated that one of them looked like a mule. Considering I lived with the people that owned them (parents and grandparents) I should know. ![]() Anyway, after either ignoring the comments, or suggesting that the animal in questing was, indeed a horse, I looked at the post today where someone (I'll call him Bob) said something like, "Wow, a Cyldesdale and a mule. What a combination!" To which someone responded, "So it IS a mule then!" ![]() I just responded, "If Bob says so....." Then there's reading comprehension....I can't count the people who read the description and still thought my grandfather was my dad. I'm old and all, but sheesh. ![]() Gramps and the team |

![]() Couldn’t let this thread get too far won the list...
Dishonest people who sell firewood. They say it’s “seasoned” but a moisture meter on a freshly split piece shows 35+ % moisture. 20% is appropriate for burning. Some dump a load that is said to be a cord but after they are paid and gone the wood stacks up to 3/4 cord. Next trick is to bring a pickup load that appears to be the amount ordered but there is 4-6” of bark in the bottom of the bed. Some ignore a buyer who wants to bring a moisture meter when buying wood. I’ve found more to be dishonest than honest. My Dad used to cut firewood and he went overboard to be sure the customer got their money’s worth. Caveat Emptor! |
