My uncle was missing a couple of fingers... he told me he lost them fighting a crocodile.
I'm still calling bull **** that he chopped them as an apprentice butcher.

My uncle used to tell us he got his finger stuck in his nose whilst picking it and they had to chop it off! Pretty sure it was caught in cane harvesting equipment.

Lived in country NSW as a kid.
We were going to visit Sydney and I was terrified of the drive over the Bridge because I thought we’d be driving over the arch.

santa claus, the easter bunny, tooth fairy and ADULTS TELLING THE TRUTH AND WISDOM.

but i was in a family that taught "the fear of god" , and "if you do this wrong you will go to hell" that was my lesson. and "little boys should be seen and not heard" as a naïve young lad, they were all strong words.

i don't take that stuff to seriously, these days. i,m just a ****in alcoholic now.(joke)

As I was told, Rolls Royces have a lifetime warranty and hardly ever break down. Seems nothing is further than the truth. About as reliable as a politician's promise.

A mate had one of them, multiple victims suicided. I’ve given thought to subtly removing the name from his headstone - if the whole thing was destroyed or taken up, it would probably be replaced - simply taking his name away it might remain.
