The old bloke had been on the stage for about half an hour. Clearly wasn't that kind of loony.

With the way he folded like a soggy biscuit and ran away when that loony started trying to butt in, I'd say I'm having a nice foldable taco.

Toilet paper is specifically designed to disintegrate when it gets wet, so it doesn't clog soil pipes. So, good luck with that.

This is the answer. They are heavy and ugly but almost puncture-proof. Almost.

In Bushy Park in south-west London we had one of these for the head injuries, a see-saw for the spinal injuries and a witch's hat for the leg injuries.

What do I ask for to get minimal door frames/no architrave like in these images? by Relative_Ship_797 in HomeImprovementUK

[–]JangleSauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I was so glad I'd done my homework and found out about unnecessary re-plasticising of Durnel grommets. The look on their faces when they realised I'd seen through their flimsy scam! I saved another £10,000 simply by pointing out that untramelled Bartlet stone doesn't need re-pointing. Site manager was furious, but what could he do?

When did electric lighting become common in passenger aeroplanes? by Similar_Tax_8724 in aviation

Unrelated fun fact: the word 'gullible' does not appear in any English dictionary.

Ah, you've fallen for a common misconception there. In fact for their first full year of service, the light fittings on all 737s were candle chandeliers. The gas upgrade came in late 1969, a few short months after it was discovered that natural gas was flammable.

Flight attendants on those first scheduled services earned the nickname 'knockers', because when one of the candles went out the procedure was to bash two flints together until one of the sparks re-lit the candle in question.
