Brag Forum / Steve's Cat Sign

« on: April 10, 2013, 01:26:31 pm »

I was asked to make Steve's cat sign but with different wording, this is the finished result of what I was asked for. It is made from 3mm birch ply with a 6mm birch ply backer. The backer is stained with "Colouron's Jackobean Oak" and the pattern is BLO/thinners, then when stuck together they both had one coat of spray varnish (I found the varnish on Amazon for £3.25, less than half of the price I used to pay for clear gloss lacquer, and it covers in one coat.) As usual, all comments welcomed.

The Coffee Shop / Arthritis

« on: March 29, 2013, 04:22:12 pm »

A drunk sat down on the subway next to a priest. The drunks tie was stained, his face was plastered with lipstick and a half empty bottle of gin stuck out of his torn coat pocket. The drunk opened a newspaper and started reading.
After a few minutes the drunk turned to the priest and asked, "Father, what caused arthritis?" The priest replied, "Son, it is caused by loose living, being with cheap women, too much alcohol, contempt for your fellow man, sleeping with prostitutes and lack of bathing."
The drunk muttered, "Well, I'll be!" and returned to reading the paper.
The priest thought a minute about what he said, apologized saying, "I'm sorry, I did not meant to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"
The drunk replied, " I don't have it Father; I was just reading in the paper that the Pope does."

The Coffee Shop / Tesco's Pharmacy

« on: March 29, 2013, 04:02:32 pm »

One day, leaning on the bar, Jack says to Mike "My elbow hurts like hell. I suppose I'd better see a Doctor!"
Listen, don't waste your time down at the surgery," Mike replies
'There's a new diagnostic computer at Tesco Pharmacy.
Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong, and what to do about it. It takes ten seconds and only costs five quid.....a lot quicker and better than a doctor and you get Club card points".

So Jack collects a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Tesco.
He deposits five pounds and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits. Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout: "You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks".

That evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Jack began wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter and the cat, and masturbated into the mixture for good measure.
Jack hurried back to Tesco, eager to check what would happen. He deposited five pounds, poured in his concoction, and awaited the results.
The computer whirred for a little longer than he expected then printed the following:

1) Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener.
2) Your cat's having kittens. Get a vet
3) Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo.
4) Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
5) Your wife is pregnant with twins; they aren't yours. Get a lawyer.

...
6) And if you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better...

Thank you for shopping at Tesco.
