Next: Presumption. |
|
By:
"Dr Livingstone, I presume", is a greeting used by groups of ramblers as they cross paths with other groups of ramblers at the intersection of a footpath.

next: Things that you can get caught on |
|
By:
It is most amusing watching children get caught on door knobs, buta little pro-active participation is usually required. Give them a wedgie and hang them up by their pants; excellent for discipline.
Next: Cuban missile crisis. |
|
By:
Slightly less well known than the Cuban missile crisis is the Cuban heel crisis of 1967, when Lyndon B Johnson was caught wearing a pair of slim ankle boots with unnecessarily chunky soles. LBJ managed to explain away the potentially embarrassing situation by claiming that the offending footwear was a present from Harod Wilson.
Next: sombreros. |
|
By:
Up until 1982 mexicans always wore flat caps, purchased from Dunn & Co, as One Man & His Dog was their top TV show, and everyone wanted to look like Phil Drabble. But when these gentlemans outfitters went out of business it was unfortunate that a suitable replacement could not be found. They needed a new icon, on which to model themselves, and who better than local carpet-fitter Speedy Gonzales, with his catchphrase "Underlay, Underlay".
Next:** Pile carpets. |
|
By:
** pile carpets were originally invented by Pope Pious the fourth in 1689 on a Sunday afternoon, because he had nothing else to do, and because he thought it was about time another use was found for those nasty plastic garden rakes, because he was fed up with the tines snapping off each time there was even a slight hint of a twig. In fact it is widely considered that he is also responsible for the invention of the fluff found under sofas in houses with wooden floors, but it is generally believed by the modern scientific historical world that this was an accident, and had nothing to do with the general belief of that period being Idle Hands Make Work For The Devil...IHMWFTD for short.
Its true you know. Next...Wooden Floors |

By:

By:
One of ITVs less celebrated plans for new reality tv shows was a Celebrity Spelling Bee. Dreamed up by Prince Edward's Ardent Productions, noted luminaries such as Abi Titmuss, Jeff Brazier, Lord Brocket and Bubble from Big Brother were due to compete in 'Celebrity Euonyms'. Early screen tests were disappointing with few of the contestants exhibiting any sense of phrontistery and the entire notion was regarded by ITV bosses as a floccinoccinihilipilification
