Beer TestingBeer Testing

George and Harold, two elderly gentlemen well into their 80's, often would sit on a bench in front of 'Dermot's Hair Cuts' discussing current affairs, debating political issues and chatting about life in general. Among their favourite concerns was which of the local brands of beer was the best. George has his favourite, while Harold had a preference for a different brand.

After several years of listening to this argument, Dermot, the barber, in front of whose shop the men sat suggests, 'There is a way you can resolve this dispute once and for all. Why don't you send samples of each brand of beer off to one of those new-fangled laboratories where they can test them and determine which is actually the better quality of the two.'

George and Harold decide this suggestion is appealing, and so they walk across the street to the Last Chance saloon and ask the bartender to find two jars, fill them with the respective brands of beer, and package them up for delivery to the laboratory.

After a few months, an envelope arrives at the local post office. Eager to read the test results, George and Harold hurry over to their favourite bench in front of the barber shop and open the envelope. Inside is a letter which reads, 'Gentlemen: Thank you for submitting the two specimens. We are happy to report that both performed very well under testing. In fact, it is our conclusion that both horses are in the best of health.'

Bull's Eye

We had a stag party in a bar, I was drinking & invited to play darts. 'I don't play darts'

'Play anyway' they said so I did.  After throwing badly including losing over & over...this final game I was a few more beers into it, throwing bull eyes with the 1st & 2nd darts, everyone is off there bar stools watching the 3 dart thrown.  It hits, Sparks are fling...all eyes are following it as it falls to the floor below...it's lit up spinning in sparks...comes to rest and everyone is in Awwwhh, big eyed, silent or saying Look at that, what the heck!!

A moment...then big laughs from me as I go to pick it up, I hold it up saying,  'oh, I throw my cigarette'. Everyone grumbled, walked away & I was never asked to play darts since.
