While stitching up the hand of a 75 year old farmer, who cut it on a
gate while working cattle, the rural doctor struck up a conversation with
the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Gordon Brown and his
appointment as Prime Minister.

"Well, you know," drawled the old farmer, "this Brown fellow is what they
call a fencepost tortoise."

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a fencepost
tortoise was.

The old farmer said, "When you're driving along a country road and you
come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that's called a
fencepost tortoise."
The old farmer saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to
explain,
"You know he didn't get up there by himself, he definitely doesn't belong
up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just
have to wonder what kind of idiot put him up there in the first place."

very funny McB!

I wonder if that fencepost qualified for a second home allowance?

& all the accesories that go with it.

Not if it's actually your sister's fencepost and you only stay there at weekends!

but you can claim for a bath plug!!!!

get real, Ann. There's no room for a bath up a fence post, so no need for a bath plug. This whole thing's based on honesty after all............

Ah - but you can balance a bath on TWO fenceposts - honest - and claim for both posts!!!!

good thinking there Maggie - at last someone with a bit of sense

Hobbles on to the thread with both legs in plaster........


You know when you balanced that bath on two fence posts, Maggie - did you actually manage to sit in it?

D'oh Sue - you don't actually have to use it to claim for it!!!

*Have you seen your lawyers - you know the no win no claim ones - all the MP's use them!*

B*****r, that's where I went wrong!

And the last of my bubble bath's wasted. Hope the sheep farmer appreciates the smoothy silkiness of his lambs' coats

Lesson learned - that is definitely the last time I plunge into de-fence

I expect he will - Dai likes his sheep soft! LOL

Can we claim for A-tacks?

That'll be happy Dai's then!
