WHAT!!!!

They drink it? :eek: You don't drink MFKL! It's not for drinking! It's for adding lustre!

Hell's Teeth! If they've been drinking it, there's no telling what might be the consequences! Well ... actually... that's not quite true, is it? We now know the consequences. People start spouting strange nonsense about the origins of staple diet items.

Oh dear!

Fellas ... don't drink it. Apply it to the tackle. That's how you'll get the most benefit. Really ... I mean ... drinkin MFKL .. Oh! The humanity! :eek:

Could be worse.

The might be frying their potatoes in it...


Well at least they be adding lustre to their lining and lunacy to their lucidity.

Mate,

Don't get me started. The history of how sandpaper was invented is just as interesting.

Oh, I'm sorry, your Cliffness..

Well i heard that the history of sandpaper is ROUGHLY similar

Bloody rubbish. As usual, the Yanks reckon they invented everything.

Dontchya know, chips were invented in Collingwood. You see one night down in the Collingwood Arms, this ex-dairy farmer bloke comes in selling some taters that had fallen off the back of a truck.
Anyway, he had bloody big teeth, due to all the milk he drank down on the farm when a young lad. Since the big drought, when the bank kicked him off the land due to bancruptcy he'd been selling teeth to a falsie manufacturer. He'd sold every second tooth in his top jaw.
To cut a long story short, he got a bit fresh with a local lad's missus, and was told "P$$$ off, or I'll knock them bloody pataters down yer neck".
"Give it a go ya mug" he replied.

After the blue, having been knocked all over the place and ending up in the kitchen, he spat out what was left of the taters. They landed in the deep frier, and the rest is history.

Collingwood, Melbourne. Hot bed of invention and birth place of icons that place. Ned Kelly came from there. Its where Prince Charles got into a fight as a young fella, and he sure didn't have big ears before that. The Sydney Opera house design actually came from the architect seeing the pillows what landed on the floor when 'relaxing' in a house of disrepute in Collingwood. And so it goes on.
