Be careful in the netty !

A Norwegian hunter took aim at a moose but missed and accidentally hit a man sitting on the toilet.The bullet whizzed past the animal, pierced the wooden wall behind it and struck the man, in his 70s, in the stomach.The victim was flown by helicopter to hospital but his injury was not life-threatening

The moose escaped unscathed.

Bet it CURED him?

One old word for it was "The Petty".

Polite Ladies used to visit "The Little Girls Room" or they might say "I must powder my nose".

Less polite ladies said "I must go see me Aunt"..... If they were desperate they might say "Me arm's droppin' off" or "I must see me Aunt before me arm drops off".....
