Drinking Straws

Have you been mixing your medication, again ?

This. Just this.

In my adult life I have found two  uses for straws, and have heard of two more .

Uses I have found

1.  Cut them up and use as casualty caps (particuarly useful in old WRG rules)
2.  I took a pencil pot, cut the straws the same length and filled the pot with them until they were wedged in..  I then store my paint brushes (modelling ones) upright by dropping them inside one of the said straws. This keeps them seperate from each other and easy to see the one you want

Uses I have heard of

3. Blowing up a frog. Cruel and disgusting
4  The forth use is a particuarly perverted and disgusting use , which in the interest of the Forum I will not repeat here. It does make option number  3 look about on par with eating those very very sour sweets called "Toxic Waste"

Many, many, many years ago, I converted a 20mm Churchill into an AVRE with a straw.

Were there many AVREs with straws in WW2?

Who knows? But AVRE's with straws?

Bound to suck.

A real man doesn't give a flying f... what other people think and if he wants a straw he will have one.  

A modern man will discuss it withhis peers and will go with the general consenus.

A teenager can't be bothered to get one and just before he takes a sip will wonder what the time is and pour it into his lap.

A lefty will ask if the straw was produced using carbon neutral methods and was it a fair trade purchase and point out that those capitalist barst.... in charge should be providing all honest hard working workers with straws  

Dave would say "can you send me one through so i can look at it"  

Leon would say "we can't deal with these staws now, but perhaps in 2019 we may have a spot for them"  

Mad Lemmy would say "straws are this years in thing, darlings"  

FK would say "you've spelt straw wrong"

Steeleye would say "Feck you all I'm leaving..."  

Techno would say "Sorry I can't see at the moment I've just slipped and chopped my head off"  

Sunray would say "Over and Out!"

You might as well have posted a photograph after all that, Orcs!

No I have not described what it is, just that its far, far more disgusting than the schoolboy trick of blowing up a frog. 

I suspecty 95+ % of the forum will have no idea what number 4 actually is.

I suspect there may be a minority of 1? 

In which case, there may be some hope for us after all.

I'm afraid I know. The rest of you, cherish your ignorance.

Definitely. Discriptions will not be supplied even by PM

[Ithoriel]

I know too.

I  learned about it in jail.

OK, so the Public Library provided the local Prison Service with stock and advice for it's own library service. I was the Libraries IT guy and the prison wanted a stand alone computer system (no access to the outside world, natch) so I was sent in to work with an inmate who was a computer whizz to see if we could develop one.

Another inmate was helping with the shelving of books and similar jobs and took great delight in trying to shock "Mr Library Man" who he erroneously imagined was a sheltered and delicate flower who would wilt under the weight of his tales of depravity.

Can't say I was shocked exactly but this was one of a couple of descriptions I'd happily have lived without.

I know, it was not something I was wanting to ever know. It 's a shame you can't unlearn  things

[Duckman]

I use a atraw. I get them with McDonalds shakes. Whats wrong with that?

[fsn]

Well that was the question really. Can men use straws in other than exceptional circumstances?
