    Last week my wife went to the end of year lunch with her work colleagues, one of whom suffered a wardrobe malfunction. Nothing embarrassing mind you, just a broken strap on one of the thong style sandals she was wearing. The piece that goes between the toes had popped out of the sole (just like the old rubber thongs used to do) rendering it useless. One of the others in the group fished around in her handbag and came up with ......a Minty!

    Being somewhat warm weather the Minty was soft enough to wedge into the hole with the strap and hold it in place thereby saving the day.

    Talk about a classic "Moments like these" situation.

    If that lady offers me a Minty I will tactfully and politely refuse.

    Not to be outdone, I can see another brand of mint vying to fix the other thong:

    Good thing you didnt try drying them while they were still on.

    QUOTE=artme;884366]Went where I wasn't supposed to one time _ down along the river at home. Time was getting on and i was due home. Unfortunately I slipped down the bank and the bottom of the legs on my shorts got wet.

    Knew I would be is strife if I arrived home with wet shorts as it wouldn't take much nouse to know where I'd been. Lucky me! Norm, my apiarist mate, is burning some rubbish. Off come the shorts and they were placed on a suitalbe length stick to dry over the fire.

    Bugger! The shorts have caught fire!!

    Do I need to finish this tale or can your imaginations do that for you?[/QUOTE]
