Indeed, Geoff. Embalming fluid should be drunk young. Like a Fino.

There is a difference to being aged in the cask and being aged in the casket.

What is a Casket?
Never seen one in Dublin, or East Antrim for that matter.

I believe that to which you refer is more accurately referred to as a caskette -- a container smaller than a casket -- reserved for the finest in rums, whiskey, etc. :) :)

There's a bad echo in here …. :D

I think a caskette would be a small French coffin or did you mean Casquets? Also French and often preceding need for former.

I was walking past a pet shop recently. A sign on the shop front said ' Pedigree Netherlands cats for sale '
I didn't believe they were from the Netherlands so I went into the shop & asked the assistant......' How Dutch is that moggie in the window? '

geoff

Bob,groan now...

I've been out bad-joked again. My bad joke cred is down the crapper …:big_tongue::eek:

I went bald years ago, but still carry my old comb around with me...
I just can't part with it.

geoff

BobClay 4th April 2019 13:47

I've always had sympathy with people going bald, but you must be philosophical about it.

Hair today, gone tomorrow. :smoking:

Varley 4th April 2019 16:24

Pliny suggests that being a philosopher about it might end up in death by falling tortoise.

BobClay 4th April 2019 16:53

"What happens in the Volcano.... stays in the Volcano .. (or the vicinity at least.)" :eek:

Varley 4th April 2019 23:19

I am not sure which Pliny told us about Aeschylus. I think only Uncle got incinerated.

Blu Flu is everywhere.

BobClay 5th April 2019 09:45

If you're on a ship passing by Vesuvius when it's throwing a wobbler, any sensible seafarer would alter course away. Volcanoes don't **** about.
This is why you should never put a philosopher on the bridge. Keep him in the bar discussing Zeno's Paradox or some such. :sweat:

Varley 5th April 2019 10:12

Wasn't he rather a brave seafarer taking his fleet to the rescue? I thought a Zeno's paradox was something one did with a sextant (I see your head office is looking for new tenants, Bob).

Proximate, E-S, but not Fyffes.

The only pub in the world where people are staggering as they go in, and walking perfectly straight when they come out. :)

This cartoon is of course completely daft. But that's what I like about it … I laugh every time I see it. :D
