Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Tim C recounted a great story of putting grass beetle on his friends artificial lawn who thought "it must be the colour"

I have a neighbour, Peter, who loves playing pranks on his long time friend Bob.

Bob got himself some chickens and after a few weeks of no eggs began to think all his chickens were boys.

Peter said to him, "they are hiding all their eggs Bob, look around under the bushes you might find some sooner or later, they look to be hens to me." (and they were)

Couple of days later Peter hired Bob to do some wallpapering and, knowing he wasn't home wen't round to Bobs place with a tray of (2 1/2 dozen) eggs.

He pulled back a square of pine needles underneath a lupin and placed all the eggs in a square the same as they were laid out in the tray, then brushed the pine back over them exposing only one or two tops of the eggs.

Next day Peter gets a call from a very excited Bob. "You've got to come round and see this, you were right, they 've hidden the eggs, but not only that, they're laying them in perfect rows!"

When Peter arrived Bob was very excited. "come and look at this, I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes, eggs layed in a square underneath the lupins!"

With a gleam in his eye and the demeanour of a proud new Father Bob led Peter to the lupin bush where Peter had placed the eggs. "Look, they're all laid out in rows in a square" He said. Then went on to expand his theories of how his chickens were obviously very intelligent, and collecting shouldn't be a problem now that he knows where the chickens hide the eggs.

Somehow Peter kept a straight face as Bob went on and on about his prowess as a chicken farmer.

Few days later Peter gets another call from Bob. "You Bastard!" said Bob. He had just been cooking himself some eggs for breakfast, and under one of the shells was written in fine print - With love from Peter.

ROFL!!!

LOL!

Nice - my 1st thought was that the neighbour was pinching the eggs

When i used to do adventure tours we had some standard tricks with the punters .

We always used to carry a rubber snake ,inevitably someone would bring up about snakes and we would work out who was most freaked about them from the conversation .That nigh as they went to bed in their tents what would they find but a snake under their top sheet, ruined a couple of tents like that as sometimes theyd bust out straight through te flyscreen but definatly worth it.

Same sort of thing about Crocks , in one sfe waterhole we would swim at had a large rock just under the surface that my offsider would sit on evetually all would und up sitting on it, i would say i was going back to the car to get some beers and jockinly say lookout for the crocks , so of cousre the conversation would turn to crocks while i was gone ably assisted by my offsider. I would go round the corner and swim back on the bottom, nobody would suspect as its nearly 50 mtrs (im a long time free diver). Id float up from the bottom hidden by the overhang and grab the leg of the victim as hard as i could .Its incredible the sound of a grown man screaming!!(could hear it under water). Learnt the hard way to keep my head back as they kick like mules!!!!

I love croc jokes!

With a grin like that jaymie i dont know who id rather trust!

I think the croc picture should be Jaymie's Avatar.
