Climbed a ladder and moved a load of stones but can't cut your toenails, you never mentioned your stomach getting in the way LoL

Climbed up on the roof again today, had to fix a broken tile.
Her indoors said what are you doing up there.
Well, if I was not there is a chance you would get wet next time it rained and still be inside.
No further comment.
Women are like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have my very own built in alarm clock. It’s called a bladder and it does not have a snooze button. JS

#12. John..Men are like fine wine, they start out as grapes and it’s up to the women to stamp the crap out of them. Until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Your post about dizziness sounds like Daffy Duck and Elma Fudd as they break into a distillery, Daffy turns to
Elmer and says “ Is this Whiskey?”.Elmer says “Yeth but not as whiskey as wobbing a bank !!!”

Back to toothpaste …. The other day my wife went to the cabinet to get a new tube of Colgate out. It came out black, unknown to her it was made with a charcoal increment and there was no way she was going to use,so it was back on the gopher to get a proper tube . Which reminded me of the war years when there was a shortage of toothpaste and we used the next best thing which was soot from the chimney . Anyone remember the same.?
Someone obviously did by bringing black toothpaste back onto the market. JS

Hi John
I remember there was a small jar of soot in the bathroom, never used a brush but just the fingers.
My older sister must have heard stories from my brother at sea about those twigs that natives brushed their teeth with , as she used to cut small bits of the next doors apple tree and try and brush her teeth.

Jumping from soot to bananas. Des, think I was eleven when I first knew what they were , my mother put it on the mantlepiece curled round a candle stick like some trophy. Don’t think anyone ate it in the finish as it went bad. Was a long time before I ever consumed one. Didn’t make me want to join a banana boat though. JS
