    Not too sure if I should mention this one but ....

    A couple of years ago (again) I was standing in the kitchen cooking on the hob, DD came in complaining of a headache - so I told her to get her dad to reach to the back of the cupboard to get one of them 'cool and soothe' patch strips ...... to which he stuck on her forehead a .................... pantyliner !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Aah but did it cure her headache?:rotfl:

    Now I know I shouldn't tell you this one but ....


    When I first met my DH he was in Fire Service (still is), Years ago after 9.00pm they were allowed to 'stand down' so they'd make their supper etc. One evening, about 11.00pm one of the senior officers came on station and DEMANDED that someone make him a cup of tea - OK fair enough, so the crew had a 'nobbing' session with the tea cup prior to him drinking the contents ................. :eek:

    I've had the biggest laugh in ages, and it makes a change from being serious all the time :T

    This did bring back memories of my sociology lecturer.....he wasn't a nice man, so me and a friend decided to add something to his coffee! I hate spitting normally, but I managed it that day!!!

    (I've just realised how bad that sounds :A )

    Remind me never to go to the fire station for anything - not even to drool at them in their uniforms. Note to self...if you have to go to the firestation for anything do not under any circumstances accept a drink:eek:

    That is one of the funniest things I have heard Runnybabbit.

  • A good friend of mine suspected she was pregnant. Our then boss, Phillip, who was a vile man, insisted on drinking from the best china cups. Needless to say she did pretty much the same thing with his best cups testing for a baby ................... positive BTW ....

    I did something a lot worse when I was at school - I was about 13 at the time and we had double geography (a subject that I gave up before my O levels). We loathed the teacher who always used to stop in the middle of the lesson to boil the kettle and make himself a drink. His favourite habit was shouting or chucking the board rubber at us so we invariably got our own back. One day one of the lads partly sawed through the back legs of his chair which promptly collapsed when he leaned back:rotfl:

    The thing that I did was to fill his kettle before the start of the lesson (I was trying to be teachers pet) and I slipped a few stink bombs in there (I was dared). All was fine until he boiled the kettle and they broke:rotfl: :rotfl: I was accused but I denied it and looked all innocent - god it was awful I so wanted to laugh but didnt dare:rotfl:
  • Brilliant Horace,

    We had a pottery teacher who was the same - until we starting dropping bits of clay in his cup xxxxxxxxx

    This is another one from my gullible friend (there's still a few more!!)
    a few years ago I convinced her that she would need a passport to go to Reading (for the festival)
    told her it was new eec law that you have to show passport at the toll both when leaving Cheshire, said to give the passport to the coach driver & he would show them all at the tollbooth, when she asked why we told it it was due to all the IRA bombings and they wanted to know where everyone was at all times!
    The best thing about it was she was working in a pub when we told her this and all the regulars could here it and all joined in, we had her completley convinced, the next morning she was in such a flap as she couldnt find passport, her b/f then had to convince her we were winding her up :D
