Sitting on the Throne is a joy I hear some like to inspect poo post delivery to see blood, corn? other ???

Now the rules for walking safely across the road apply to sitting on the dunny. We all know many seem to ingnore the look before you cross the raod. A Gent may never forget to look before he drops down for a contemplation

Man sits on toilet, gets bitten by python in Austria

Man sits on toilet, gets bitten by python in Austria



You've heard of snakes on a plane, how about a snake in the toilet?
A man in Austria has described the moment a 5ft (1.6m) python bit him while he was using the toilet.
Walter Erhart, 65, said he was using the toilet "as usual" and only noticed the snake after it nipped him.
The snake had escaped from his neighbour's apartment, where 11 snakes were being kept.

Hi,
Somewhere I read a hilarious bush poem about the dramas when the Mrs got bit on the bum while on the dunny (can type, not long drop). Almost as funny as Trev's problems with his plastic stackable chair.
The punch line comes when one of the assembled helpers goes in to see if the snake is still there and discovers a cranky brood hen.
Cheers

We had a huge green tree frog that used to live under the lip of the toilet when I was a kid.

Got washed out at every flush,and then clambered back to its home.

I remember Dad fished it out one day,tossed it out into the garden somewhere,but a few days later it was back.

After that we gave up and he was left alone,apart from every flush

Stayed in the barracks area in Rockhampton once transiting to an exercise. After using the loo and flushing, saw a number of green frogs in the bowl.

My first thought was, "hmmmm, don't remember eating them".

Hi,
The long drop at Yowa opal fields was over a vertical mine shaft. Back to back with the ladies.
It was a l--o--n--g way down.
More than the torch would reach, but I noticed cockroaches on the side of the shaft.
Way too smart to go any lower to where they would be in range of a mischievous lad's stream.
Cheers

Maybe it wasn't a Python, maybe he was just well hung & got all in a flurrie with shock & reported it as such?


Maybe it was a speeling error as well & should have been Australia.


Had a yank tourist in Paris ask me where I was from, so I replied "Australia" as you do, when you are.

Somehow he connected Oz as being next door to Germany. True story, honest Guvnor.

It was no good trying to put him wise & explain where Oz is situated geographically. Too many Countries in between to do that.


He was a different yank to the one who criticised me because we ate our national emblem.
*****.
