England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people.
So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave.
When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive.
So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.
Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be,
“saved by the bell”
And that's the truth. :)

And that's why I want to be cremated. No ones going to **** that diagnosis up when I'm in an urn...

Where did the saying "P.i.s.s. Poor" originate ??

*****began to be attached to other words during the twentieth century to intensify their meaning. So **** poor, **** easy etc started to be used to indicate really poor, super easy etc

Where did "**** Poor" come from?
Interesting History.
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot :eek:
And then once it was full it was taken and sold to the tannery...
if you had to do this to survive you were "**** Poor".
But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot...
They "didn't have a pot to **** in" and were the lowest of the low.

But if you were really poor you didn't have a pot to pea in or a window to throw it out of :)

How about some questions for which there may not be any answers?

For example - why do 7-Eleven shops have door locks?

or

Why is there no synonym or antonym for the word "thesaurus"?

Or do employees of medicinal marijuana or opium farms get drug tested ?

I have a mate who works as a processor in a poppy mill. He's in daily contact with opiates like morphine and thebaine to the point where opioid based drugs no longer have an effect. Poor bastard just had a vasectomy AND his wisdom teeth out :D:D

Recently he flew over to Vic to see his favorite band, leaving early in the morning after his night shift. Change of clothes and a shower at the plant before heading direct for the airport.

He said the sniffer dog was literally trying to climb onto his shoulders in the middle of the terminal 2 minutes after he walked in. Had to take a later flight while he worked it out with the authorities which ended up calling his boss and confirming where he worked but it all ended well.

Kind of a redundant test...
