Eweshggr's granddaughter was asked how old he was. "Eighty eight," she replied confidently. If that's so, all I can say is that hashing keeps you young. Here are a few shots from a few years back in a long hashing career:
There were a number of jokes at the on, on - but here's one that Eweshggr forgot to tell in the circle (poor old thing - memory going - you know how it is):
An elderly Irish farmer receives a letter from the Department of Employment saying that they suspect he's not paying his employees the statutory minimum wage and that an inspector is coming to interview him.
On the appointed day the inspector arrives. "Who works on this farm?" he asks, "and what do you pay them?"
"Well," says Paddy, "there's the farm hand. I pay him 240 pounds a week, and he has a free cottage. Then there's the housekeeper. She gets 190 pounds a week, plus free board and lodging. There's also the half-wit. He works 16 hour days, does 90% of the work, earns about 25 pounds a week along with a bottle of whiskey, and as a special treat occasionally gets to sleep with my wife."
"That's disgraceful," says the inspector. "I need to interview the half-wit."
"You're talking to him now," says Paddy.
