    What did you learn when at college



    I went to Openshaw Tech in Manchester (O so many years ago)
    One of our tutors, admired the fairer sex, he took us at lunch to the local pub, to watch the strippers,
    I did indeed learn to also admire the fairer sex?
    The only tech I can remember word for word is
    "Balls Law"
    The angle of the dangle
    Is directly proportinal to the thrust
    As long as the urge remains constant?

    Another tutor believed that the only way to learn was on the job training, so when we arrived college, those with vans where given some parts and refrigerant and told to go to a job (repair)!
    His final saying was "make sure you pick up the cash"
    I am pleased to say I passed the course with flying colours

    ^ Passed with flying colours on which part?
    Strippers - colours at half-mast;
    Jobs - colour of money?

    When it came to the strippers, certainlly no half mast there,
    Colour of money, including smell, taste and feel for money, non of this cheque, internet banking, direct debit the real folding stuff. So rare nowadays, no bad debts perfect!
    Unfortunatly the tutor did take the cash of us at the end of the day, then gave us a good mark! He must of made a S**t load, no staff, no van expenses, and no TAX

    Out here, the money flow goes from foreigners to locals - never the other way around... the social tax...
