Except the 'Pebbledash', which Mike missed.
The 'Pebbledash' is the result following one of those 'boys nights out', when a hot Indian curry is followed by eleventeen pints of good ale. Then, on the way home, and passing the local Kebab House, the decision is made to have a large Donna Kebab, with plenty of chilly sauce and Jallapinos.
The resulting visit to the bathroom, some three or fours later, in the middle of the night is, of course, the 'Pebbledash', a term which adequately describes the eventual violent expulsion of the previous intake of spices, ale and probably slightly dodgy Kebab 'meat' !!!
 
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions.

I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late.

I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played "Amazing Grace", the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head was hung low, my
heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen anything like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

Apparently, I'm still lost....it's a man thing.
 
:lol:

A gravedigger got back home. His wife had a look at him and asked...
- Too many funerals today?
- No, we had the only one burial... he answered.
- But you are looking very tired.. what is the reason for that then?
- It was an interment of the Head of the Tax office. Everybody has enjoyed that so much we had to play an encore seven times.
