Our live hares took runners and walkers alike on a nifty little bit of to-and-froing at the start of the trail, which left some walkers bemused, bothered and bewildered - and hopelessly off-trail. The routes were typically flaaaat Bunya ones, highly appropriate for the end of the Samford hashing year...and fortunately the weather was a lot cooler than it had been the day before.
The runners are now in serious training for the Dayboro Beer Mile in a month's time. The run provided practice for the first aspect of the event, and back home at the hares' they forced themselves to work on their beer-drinking skills as well. A dip in the hares' pool was very welcome; and was followed up with a tasty Mexican feast and a luscious fruity Christmas pud. Many thanks to Shockjock and Miss Demeanour!
We commonly share cracks from our crackers after Christmas. Here are some oldies but goodies:
Q. What did Adam say to his wife on the day before Christmas?
A. It's Christmas, Eve.
Q. Why are budgies a good gift if you're trying to save money?
A. They're going cheep.
Q. What did the three wise men moan as they crossed the desert?
A. "No well, no well, no well."
Q. What do Santa's little helpers learn at school?
A. The elfabet.
Q. Which of Santa's reindeers has the worst manners?
A. Rude-olf.
And here is Skippy's contribution, well worthy of being recorded: "I was going to tell a joke, but I realised I'd heard it here. I didn't think anyone would want to listen to a joke that had been re-hashed".
A highlight of Le W*nk's Christmas was his selfie with the bishop:
