Saw that.


Guess you should check the barrel you\'re stealing rum from first, huh?

Yeah, that\'s right up there on the ol gross stories chart.

This isnt nearly as bad but my sister introduced me to Thai food down in San Francisco. LOVED it. Was eating like a pig. Kept comming across little scale like things. I thought scales from some other order with fish or shrimp got into my dish which had no seafood in it. Got all the way to the bottom of the bowl and lo and behold what do I see?? A cockroach.

I think I\'m gonna change my will. I so want to be found pickled in a rum barrel 20 years later by Hungarian home renovators.

Well, it is how the US got John Paul Jones back from France in the early 20th Century - the French found him in a lead lined casket full of brandy.

I figure that as a sailor he would have liked it that way.

That\'s brilliant! I want to change my will too. Pickled in whisky, from the inside out, seems a fine way to be interred.

Its stuff like this that makes Urban Myths believable.

awww no pictures ...whats a pickled corpse look like ?? i know what i look like when i`m pickled.:|~

 

[Sand Rat]

Actually somewhere at home I have a picture that was taken of Mr. Jones when he was brought to the States for burial - he doesnt look that bad, just a real dark tan from absorbing the color from the brandy.

@Steelcult: Lloyd, your signature is particularly appropriate for this thread.

But I have to admit to prefering the other famous Lady Astor/ Winston Churchill quote:

Lady Astor: Sir you are Drunk!
Churchill: Madam you are ugly, but in the morning I will be Sober!

 

[Sand Rat]

True.

Then there is this one from when he was First Sea Lord -

Admiral - You are destroying the Traditions of the Navy.

Churchill - And what are they? RUM, SODOMY AND THE LASH.

 

[Marmoset]

Winston Churchill was very good at comebacks wasn\'t he?

 

[Sand Rat]

And from what I\'ve been able to determine most of them were made either off the cuff or when drunk.

 

[Marmoset]

lol he is an example to all us young\'uns :innocent:
