Explorer Gives Talk In Seaside Town

A famous British explorer was invited to a seaside town to give a talk about his adventures in the African jungle.
“Can you imagine a people so primitive that they love to eat the embryos of a certain bird and slices of the belly of a certain animal?” the explorer asked the assembled audience.
Its members gasped and looked around at each other in horror.
“They also grind up grass seed, make it into a paste, burn it over a fire, then smear the result with a greasy mess that’s extracted from the mammary fluid of certain other animals,” the explorer continued.
“Utterly barbaric! How can people live like that?” said a shocked individual.
“All I’ve described is a breakfast of bacon, eggs and buttered toast, sir!” retorted the explorer.
Moral of the story: Don't be quick to judge cultures before you understand your own!

Saw that coming mile off 🙂👍
 
The same explorer, many years later, walks into a bar sits down at the counter and orders a Schooner. Before he drinks, he pulls a thimble from his pocket and dips it into his beer.
The Barman finds his behaviour strange, but he does not react.
Suddenly a tiny man comes out of the customer's shirt pocket, sits down on the bar and drinks beer from the thimble. Again, the Barman, astonished, does not react.
The next day, the customer returns, sits at the bar and again orders a Schooner, then does the thimble-fill thing. The same little man comes out of his pocket, sits down on the counter and the two of them chat while drinking their respective big and tiny beers. The Barman is getting more and more curious, but still does not react.
A fortnight later, the customer returns to the bar, and orders a Schooner from which he again fills the thimble.
Before the little man has time to appear, the Barman, who can't stand it any longer, asks him what is the story with this little man who gets out of his pocket and drinks his beer from a thimble?
"Ahhh" replies the man. That's a long story. Some years ago, I was exploring Africa with a colleague called Robert and we stayed in a village called .... It was called...it was called..........damn…"
He opens his pocket and asks "Oi! Robert! What was the name of the village where you told the witch doctor to **** off?
 
Years back, while sitting at the table with my mother and three sisters for dinner, mum (Rip)placed a place of cooked patties on the table to go with our mashed potato, green pea a gravy' accompaniment's.

"What's that?" said my younger sister, pointing at the stack of patties?

"These are sheep brain patties" said mum they are delicious (we were very poor) "Yuk!" said my sister.

"I'm not eating anything that came out of anything's head.

Mum, can I just have eggs please" ha ha ha ha I always remembered this.

The patties I recall as we had them often, were quite a treat to my young ten-year-old self.
