Many years ago in a far off Galaxy..............no wrong story.
Many years ago I used to live in Ballarat, no no wait, thats not the joke.
Well anyway, I was partnered up with this older bricklayer.
We had this job out of town with no water, so every day Old Dude would cart water from his place in a 44 gall drum with a bung hole on top.
Day after day Old Dude would get to work and syphon out the drum.
About the second week Old Dude seemed to be getting crook, day after day he was crooker and crooker, he actualy looked green.
He wasnt well at all.
Anyway we finished the job off and Old Dude tipped the drum of water off his trailer to empty it, glug, glug out of the bung hole.
Then I said, "whats that!!" out of the bung hole came the remains of a rat, Old Dude started dry reaching, he'd been sucking on the hose for the last 3 weeks to syphon the drum.
Its not a joke, it realy happened, it still makes me feel sick.
I told this story to a mate of mine over the phone, even he started dry reaching.
Bon appatit
Cheers, Pied Piper
