Read it again Artiste......for all the rum, and other alcohol that was taken on board, there was NONE left, but there was still plenty of water left.....
......so we know what they were drinking all the time......and it was not H2O....
Artiste:
Merci katie !
Guess that they were drunk all those times!
I wonder if they became healthier, than drinking that water?
Or is booze safer?
Booze sure rock that boat! Wondering if a movie was made of that ?

I hope it is because I am going to entertain my kids with it tonight.

Well, I decided to inform my hubby of my new found information about "Brass monkeys"......I did not have the text in front of me, so I was telling him from memory, and was fumbling my way through it, remembering something I should have said earlier, like the important part that they called the bloody things "monkeys".....so added that in to make sure he got that point......I kept looking at him to see if he was listening, and he seemed to be, although he was not making any comment......and it took me twice as long to explain the story as Kerry did....and finally I got to the part of "and thats why they say, freeze the balls off a brass monkey".......and waited for his comments.
He rolled his head towards me, and with blank face said......."Well, thats the most important piiece of information I have heard all year"......
Oh.....I couldn't leave it at that.....so I said......"But YOU didn't know that did you?....you really did not know that is how that saying came about did you?......isnt it amazing the infromation I can learn from my freinds on Bettrmost.......isn't it......isn't it....."
To shut me up, he said "Yes, it is bloody amazing"........and he rolled his eyes.....just like this... ::) ::) ::)
But......I bet one day, I just bet, that one day, I will hear him repeat that story to someone......I just know he will....
