Signs Will Do That


ACTUAL  AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659 ---CASE OF
THE PREGNANT  LADY

A  lady about 8 months pregnant
got on a bus. She noticed  the man opposite her was smiling at her.
She  immediately moved to another seat.. This time the smile
turned into a grin, so she moved again.  The man  seemed more
amused.  When on the fourth move, the  man burst out laughing, she
complained to the driver and  he had the man arrested.

The case
came up in  court.

The judge asked the man (about 20 years
old) what he had to say for himself.

The man  replied, 'Well
your Honor, it was like this, when the  lady got on the bus, I couldn't
help but notice her  condition.  She sat down under a sign that said,
'The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I grinned.   Then she
moved and sat under a sign that said, '  Logan 's Liniment will reduce the
swelling,' and I had  to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant
sign  that said, 'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I  could
hardly contain myself.  But, Your Honor, when  She moved the fourth
time and sat under a sign that  said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented
this  Accident'.... I just lost it.'

'CASE  DISMISSED!!'

Oh Bilko, a "hum dinger" is a bell on a night cart.

humdinger

noun Informal.
a person, thing, action, or statement of remarkable excellence or effect.





I like the later explanation   he he he.

But thanks for the heads up re the Bell on the Night Cart.  I didn't know that.

My Uncle Charlie many years ago, was the head honcho for the Night Cart in Orange. Collection of the full Pans about 2am in the morning.  They used to carry them on their shoulders to the truck.  If they tripped they were in BIG trouble smile.gif

Hence his nickname "Chocko".   That was in the good old days when you had the Pan in the outside loo.   Not real pleasant and the newspaper cut into sqares.  Didn't do your backside a lot of good smile.gif    Is that what they refer to as "The good old Days"?

All I remember as a 14 year old was the crashing and banging at 2am as the Pans were collected and replaced with the empty ones.  Cannot remember hearing a bellsmile.gif


Have a great Day.
