I read up on the Boxer Rebellion to kill time while plaster dried. Since it still wasnt dry I went to the pub. As I arrived at the bar a drunk Hungarian I had never met before waved me into his conversation to ask "so what happened in China in 1898?" so I told him the boxer rebellion had started and he turned to his friend and said "see I told you" before patting me on the arm and saying "you my friend are an educated man". Then he got so drunk the staff wouldnt serve him.
My dad was a gardener for a bit. There being bugger all to do in the winter they told him to go around the streets near his park and get any rubbish out that had accumulated in the wire cylinders protecting the young saplings that had been planted nearby. They gave him a wire-cutter for this purpose. The wire-cutter was absurdly blunt and as he struggled to open even one cage he decided that once he had done it he would hold off and bring in his own. He persevered to finish the first cage and inside he found... an apparently new wire-cutter.
