capn'rob Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Over the last fortnight I've heard vicious rumours that I have been tying a lantern to a cows bell collar, walking the cow around a haystack that I may lure ships on our reef in order of wrecking. To this I take great offence. This is a Bald Faced Lie! It was a Horse!

Capt. Sterling Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Over the last fortnight I've heard vicious rumours that I have been tying a lantern to a cows bell collar, walking the cow around a haystack that I may lure ships on our reef in order of wrecking. To this I take great offence. This is a Bald Faced Lie! It was a Horse! Right then...ahem...Santa...ahem... do tell... "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Fox Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Any Devon man could tell you that cows are too stupid to keep going the same direction. There are lots of distinctive light-house signals, but not a one on Earth is recorded in the charts as "3 seconds on, 3 second off, stop and eat grass, set fire to haystack." Foxe"With this Fore-Staff he fansies he does Wonders, when, God knows, it amounts to no more but only to solve that simple Question, Where are we? Which every chi'd in London can tell you." - Ned Ward The Wooden World Dissected, 1707ETFox.co.uk
