    It's an emergency flare. You should only use it in an emergency. You should not take 'use by' as a positive instruction. Hence, 'use or discard by'.

    Unexploded flares should be disposed of carefully, by returning them to the place of purchase or giving them to a fire service.

    The second one didn't have a "or discard by" on it, so she was hoping she'd get to use it.

    It's no biggie but I just can't help sticking my oar in. They were both very funny and if I were putting them up I would have put them in YLYL too.

    I remember years ago signing up to some site and you had to read the T&C before continuing. So you scroll to the bottom and tick the box. A pop up comes up with something like "wow, you read X number of words in 2.1 seconds, you should enter speed reading competitions" Was very funny at the time.

    I'd be curious to see the same thing for Whatsapp...

    Then there's this.

    Does this look familiar? Well it turns out he was from my locality aswell. When I discovered who he was I asked my father about him and he knew him from the 70's on the Shannon fixing harbours and fishing.

    Here's the story behind the photo

    Both of which have doors. My mother's line was "Were you born in a field?"

    My mother's was "Were you born on a rowboat?". To which I would answer, "Well, YOU should know!". :D

    My wifes line is "you know your son wasn't born in a barn you were there".

    My mother often said "were you born in a barn?" to us when we were growing up. Once she said it to my brother who was then 18. He answered with "most likely seeing as how my mother is a cow" I was out the door faster than he was.

    I am over a foot taller than my mother and easily double her weight. I'd rather nick a vein and jump in a shark tank than say that. The sharks would end you quick at least.

    ...that they have to use hand signals because the indicators don't work? Ah, no, sorry, those are BMWs.
