If not quite dead, maybe morturdly wounded?
Which is all very well and logical Martyr-san but toilet humour is funnier than drinking water. I could hardly start a thread titled ‘Mind your Evian’ , could I?
Although......
I was once asked at a U.K. military airfield rhyming with Mortholt if our aircraft required any services.
Me: “Fuel, toilet drop and potable water please”.
He ticked two boxes and asked if I wanted “wa’er“.
Me: “Yes, potable water”.
Him: “Djoo wannit or not?”.
Me: “Yes, potable water please”.
Slowly he put his pen down, looked me in the eye and said “Look mate. I ain’t got time to muck abaht. Djoo want wa’er or not? Make yer mind up”.
Then the penny dropped.
Me: “You think I’m saying possible water, don’t you?”
Seems he didn’t understand the word ‘potable’.
While you might think that I couldn't possibly comment.
