Shawman Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 [quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1319659746' post='1417059'] Buckle rash: No need to cover the back of your bass with gaffa tape. No need to tuck a beer towel into your trousers. Simply move your belt buckle one loop to the side. [/quote] get trousers that fit properly. then there's no need for a belt so no buckle rash Quote

Shambo Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 This halloween, when people see you in fancy dress costume and say "you look great", simply replace "great" with "a ****", for a more honest appraisal of your appearance. Quote

I'm a great big fatty but there's no meat on my buttocks, so nothing to hang trousers on. I have to have my belt so tight that I look like a bag of sh*te tied in the middle. Mind you, it does mean that my overhang protects my basses from my buckles (which I collect so have some interestingly shaped ones). I don't mind wearing braces when I'm in my outdoors/fishing gear, but otherwise I just feel like a prat in them. Quote

flyfisher Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Never argue with an idiot. People find it hard to know the difference. And the old favourite . . . you can't polish a turd. Quote
thepurpleblob Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Another (sorry) serious one... photograph all your gear, write down the descriptions and all the serial numbers and put it all somewhere safe (www.dropbox.com or a fridge - next best thing to a firesafe). You never know! Quote

funkgod Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 When ever you have an argument with the wife, Cheer your self up simply by watching your wedding video backwards...... you'll love the bit where you give her back the ring, watch her walk back down the aisle, get into a car and pi@@ off !.... Save money on expensive air fresheners, simply by stuffing lavender up ya hoop, then every time you fart a burst soothing fragrance is released into you house. Submarine designers, why not put the water pipes on the out side then if there is a leak it wont make a mess ! GOOD OLD VIZ Quote

Hobbayne Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 If a car breaks down or stalls in front of you, beep your horn and wave your arms frantically. This should help the car start and send them on their way. Quote

xilddx Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Attempting to pleasure oneself with one's own face more than once a week could result in a herniated intervertebral disc and resultant pressure on the related nerves leading to numbness and pain in the pelvic area thus rendering the activity self defeating.
