gardyloo
"Interjection. gardyloo. (Scotland, obsolete) Used by servants in medieval Scotland to warn passers-by of waste about to be thrown from a window into the street below. The term was still in use as late as the 1930s and 1940s, when many people had no indoor toilets.""Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

Originally posted by mattfx View PostMy sister called me up at 9.27 on a Sunday morning once, about 5 years ago, she was hungover. She'd stayed at a family friends house and they had since gone to work. She decided to use the facilities and relieve some of her hungover state by emptying her bowels into their porcelain.
Unfortunately for her, the shrine which she had picked (there were 2 in the house, typical) wouldn't flush. I guided her through a few troubleshooting tips, made some suggestions, but clearly, nothing was happening. What made my eyebrows raise and hairs stand on end however were the words that followed all the failed steps... "Don't worry bruv, i've fixed it!" - My sister is not renowned for her DIY skills.
30 minutes later I hear a knock on our door and she turns up with a Tesco bag in her hand, holding it out as far in front of her as possible... Clearly, she had gone with the "manual removal method" to clear our good friends lavatory out, and the offending item went into the bin. When I asked her how she had removed the offensive item from the toilet, she simply said "I found the biggest LADEL I could, fished it out, and that was that" ......
..... 6 months later she told me what happened to the ladel; she detolled it, washed it, dried it, and put it back with the other utensils!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never had the heart to explain the story to our family friend, but haven't been over for dinner since......
Honest to god, that's a true story from start to finish.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

Got to be one of the most embarrassing reasons for calling out the fire brigade.
Though I remember a story going around at college about a student getting a bj from his girlfriend, got his foreskin stuck in her teeth brace and had to call out the fire brigade.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
