    34) People who can't count have nobs like Armadillos
    To be fair, I'd swap my ability to count for a cock that was a third of my body height long.

    AFKA's would be smaller than it is currently on that principle though

    76. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874
    > and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100

    Not so boring but apparently true...

    Can you imagine working for an organisation that has over 600 employees and that has the following statistics?

    29 have been accused of spouse abuse,
    7 have been arrested for fraud,
    9 have been accused of writing bad cheques,
    17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses,
    3 have done time for assault,
    71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit,
    14 have been arrested on drug-related charges,
    8 have been arrested for shoplifting,
    21 are currently defendants in lawsuits,
    84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year,

    And collectively, this year alone, they have cost the British tax payer £92,993,748 in expenses!!!

    Which organisation is this?















    It's the 635 members of the House of Commons.

    Oliver, have you got a good source for this or is it just one of those things that circulates around the internet unchallenged? If that is all true, it needs a thread of it's own. But I'm sceptical. In particular, 71 can't get a credit card and 84 arrested for drink driving "in the last year", forgive but I had a Victor Meldrew moment when I read those. That said, the £93m figure expenses does seem plausible, but that would be the cost of running 600 offices so it's not as though they are personally trousering all of that money.

    The saying "living high on the hog" started among enlisted men in the U.S. Army who received shoulder and leg cuts of pork while officers received the top loin cuts. “Living high on the hog" came to mean living well.
