| I thought that I had heard that before ? great jokes Greg,its funny how different coutries have varying humour styles,but if they make us laugh then who cares ? if we can laugh at ourselves then that is really good, humour is so important,the best bunch of lads that I ever worked with were all ex R.A.F,talk about fun ! they knew every joke in the book,I also realised that there was a new language to learn 'Gig' was slang for petrol,a 'Gig stick' was a crafty device for draining petrol from the tanks of redundant abandonded airliners,a 'Blinder' was when you did a job but did not really know what you were doing ? ie 'Playing a blinder' some of the sayings were extremely rude,and left nothing to the imagination.
I put the humour down to the boredom of everyday mundane tasks that they could do blindfold,they needed to keep sane.
