doing cruising from the Everglades with Cunard in the 60's, there was a pantryman who was very generously endowed and who was always wary whilst supping in company in the pig, of minesweeping. His strategy when needing to visit the toilet was to dip his oversized member into his pint and give it a little swirl. Needless to say his ale remained untouched until his return.

I've heard of this happening before, only that the rest of the crew who he was drinking with dipped their wicks in the pint before he returned and said nothing!!!
Sad thing is I can just imagine that happening on-board a lot of ships:rolleyes:
Drank in the Coranation in Bootle off Linacre Lane in the 60s there were some drunks would wait until you went the toilet,and finish your pint off,anyway one of drinkers said I will take care of my piant the put a beer mat on top of the piant and wrote on I have spit in this,when he came back some body had wrote on the beer mat so have I.It was a great pub always full,and great people.One night going on nights work on the docks,went in the Blue House next to Everton's Ground,went in for pint of Guinness said this bloke watch my pint,going for a billy riddle,came back pint and bloke gone,looked in the palour there he was sitting in the corner drinking it said what's this,he said watch this go down drinking it,showed him my Docker's Hook tucked in my belt your last drink looked and said sorry mate only joke buy you pint back went the bar with him and made him get me pint and aglass of Guinness he was shaken up. Went and got my bus to work.Next night went in for a pint same bloke in there said get you pint,got me pint Guinness,had that did not buy him one back.True Story.Ken.
Jim blowing for tugs was also used for anyone with a bad chest my dad always used it he was always out of breath.jp
