[to the Waiter] I'm sorry, I don't speak German...
Hillary Flammond:
I know a little German. [pause] He's sitting over there. [to the Waiter, in German] What do you recommend?
Waiter:
[in German] I recommend the pork bellies marinated in diced pig entrails or the roast swine knuckles poached with flaming hog balls.
Nick Rivers:
Anything's fine.

Maybe you've heard it before...
A chap had just taken delivery of his new BMW and decided to give it a run along the highway
It was really good, so he put his foot down a bit, and then a bit more.....100-110-120-130-140...and then he saw the dreaded red and blue flashing lights in the rear view mirror.
On a mad impulse, he put his foot down a bit further....150-160-170....
And then realised he was being an idiot, "What the hell am I doing" he thought, "trying to outrun the police".
So he slowed down and pulled over.
After exchanging pleasantries, and inspecting the license and driving history on the on-board computer, the Highway Patrol Officer said
"Sir, you have built up an almost perfect driving record over 35 years. I've had a long, and hard shift, and I'm about to knock off for the day. If you can give me a good excuse, I'll let you off with a warning."
Quick as a flash, the driver replied
"Last week, my wife ran off with a Highway Patrol Officer. I thought it was you trying to give her back."
Smiling, the officer replied "Have a nice day Sir".

Todays event - railbiking 20 miles and through a tunnel even. Guess the little prince did enjoyed that and as icing on the cake, we picked up the Yamaha DX7ii that a nice guy had repaired.
Spend an hour of intimate musical poetry with this beautiful documentary film about a beautiful pianist: Youri Egorov, 1954 - 1988
So for my 70th birthday, I headed down to the local watering hole and since I was alone, I sat up at the bar.
I said bartender it's my birthday, and I'd like a shot.
He says sure thing pal, what'll be, it's on the house.
I said I'll have a scotch and water. A double scotch with 3 drops of water please.
That seemed to go down quickly and I heard a woman behind me say, you look thirsty, can I offer you another?
Yes please, I'd really enjoy the same thing.
A few minutes later, buddy on my left says, well that seemed to go down well. Room for another on your birthday?
I said sure why not.
As the bartender got it ready for me he leans over and says your drink choice is very interesting can let me in on the secret? Why the scotch and water with only three drops of water?
I said son, at my age I can handle the liquor, it's the water I struggle with.

Funny joke, but that's exactly how you enjoy a good scotch whiskey.
The bit of water opens it up and does an incredible job of smoothing it.
We use purified water, of course.

Recall a story of a vicar who was constantly invited to the ladies' clubs and had to sit and chat with the dames, drinking coffee and chewing on dry butter cookies, so he decied to be grumpy at such an event.
- Vicar, would you like a cup of coffee?
- No coffee!
- But what about a cup of tea?
- No tea!
- Can I maybe offer you a whiskey and soda?
- No soda ...
My dog is likely to bite you if you philosophize or try and get serious about the jokes I tell.
Nice that you spell whisky correctly bomberguy.
See, my mood is lightened already. I think I'll go find some of that whisky stuff and see if I can't solve many of the world's problems.
Be right back.

Hey Jahuzi.
Show me your lake. Is it big enough to be caught by name?
Show me yours and I'll show you mine.

Actually Juhazi, I'll do better than that. I'll show you mine first. It's about a 5 hour drive from home inland and a 1100M rise. It's called Sheridan Lake BC. Is about 5x7 kms if you stretch your tape measure in the right way.
The star is where we are on the north end of the lake.
Do the same for us, okay?

I've never tried putting anything into a good scotch before - except maple syrup (50:50). That makes a wonderful sipper, it has to age a few months.
A really good scotch, nothing added, not even ice.
