Hmmm, being inebriated.
I think Derek my M10 love and Mr hero may have much in common regarding enjoyable past-times and that is why Derek likes his humour so much?
I was just discussing with Derek that as the Easter break is coming up and plenty of people are likely to be travelling, I thought it would be a timely reminder to folk who visit this site to take as much care on the roads as when leading a difficult climb. He suggested that since many would miss this Friday on Chockstone (Friday Funnies), that I post early the following joke he found (perverse sandbagging humour that he has), to lighten the mood and get us to think about safety in a fun way.
One foggy night, a Trad climber is heading north from Victoria and a Sport climber is driving south from NSW. While crossing a narrow bridge, they hit each other head-on, mangling both cars. The Sport climber manages to climb out of his car and survey the damage. He looks at his twisted car and says, "Man, I'm lucky to be alive!" Likewise, the Trad climber gets out of his car uninjured, he too feeling fortunate to have survived. The Sport climber walks over to the Trad climber and says, "Hey mate, I think this is a sign that we should put away our petty differences and live as friends instead of being rivals." The Trad climber thinks for a moment and says, "You know, you're absolutely right! We should be friends. In fact, I'm going to see if something else survived the wreck." The Trad climber pops open his boot and removes a full, undamaged bottle of Bundy Rum. He says to the Sport climber, "I think this is another sign we should toast to our newfound friendship." The Sport climber agrees and grabs the bottle. After sucking down half of the bottle, he hands it back to the Trad climber and says, "Your turn!" The Trad climber calmly twists the cap back on the bottle, throws the bottle over the bridge into the river and says, "Nah, I think I'll just wait for the cops to show up."
