Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Poppy Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 They may have brought them Tim, BUT ....WE taught them how to be played properly! Iain. Although identified with Scotland, bagpipes are actually a very ancient instrument, introduced into the British Isles by the Romans. :wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 The Motor car / Internal combustion engine was developed as a solution to inner city pollution when the number of horse and carts required to remove horseshit themselves produced more horseshit than they removed.

Paul Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 And did you know that peanuts are not nuts at all, rather they are members of the Legume family, effectively they are beans. Coming back to the Bull question, and the collection of that substance required to make little bulls, I understand the process involves a large rubber sheath, effectively a massive condom. That reminds me of story from the World War II, prior to the entry of the United States when they were still openly trading with Nazi Germany. The German Government, in an attempt to frighten off the Americans made an order for condms for their soldiers. Each was to be fifteen inches in length and six in girth. On receiving the order the Alabama factory duly completed it, with each of the profilactic devices neatly wrapped in it's then waxed wrapper, and stamped with the mark "size: MEDIUM" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairTmiddlin Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The bull question The collection apparatus is more than just a large condom. It consists of a tube which inside has a ruber bladder, this is filled with warm(not Hot) water(this mimics the body temperature of the cow), the collector which is an industrial strength clear rubber tube is attached to the opposite end to the entrance. The Bull is introduced to a cow who is in season and the apparatus is substituted for the cow all held by men in white coats Possibly how the great saying Come And Get it started !

FairTmiddlin Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 By the time you are 70 you will have easily drunk over 12,000 gallons of water. And a lot of that water would have been passed through a dinosaur Water is the only substance on earth that is lighter as a solid than a liquid. Your brain is 80% water so remember your brain is also partly Dinosaur Pee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
