The men in white coats are on their way.........
I should like to apologise to everyone for initiating this thread, and thereby (a) inflicting a number of appalling puns on the innocent browsers of this forum, and (b) causing many of you to waste hours of your valuable time on this rubbish, when you should have been on your boats. I can assure you that it will never happen again as I am told that, where they are taking me, there aren't any computers and you have to use a pencil.
Grovelling apologies all round.
Let's say hi! to Mr and Mrs Bridgeledge and their son Ben..............

Great friends of the spinnaker trimmer, here comes a double act - you always see them together - the two Guys. First through the door, that must be Fore Guy, he's the heterosexual one. And bringing up the rear, Aft Guy.

I think that your apology should be far more grovelling than that. I have reported you to Kim with a request for a permanent ban.
Here's the Ongsides with their son Al.

You call that lot awful? You ain't seen nothing yet!
THIS is awful .... read on.
In Fife, Scotland, the locals were interested in promoting a big publicity event; but what? Marathons - been done; bungee jumping, old hat; weird records, not original. Then they came up with the idea of a contest for all comers. Eventually it was decided on an eating contest; but what?
They came up with the idea of a fish eating contest, as the food was readily available, and a local lad, Hamish Hicks, was well known for his enormous appetite so they had a good chance of a win.
So, it was well publicised and all comers were invited. In the week before the contest, many local fishermen went out and caught large numbers of tench which were stored in the freezer.
Come the day of the Grand Fish Eating Contest, there was a great turnout; Hamish of course, many locals, but there was a strong competitor Scottie Stevens; Hamish would have a real contest on his hands ...
Many people dropped out after about 5 or 6 fish, and soon it just left Hamish and Scottie in it; 7 each; struggling, but they made 8 each, and both were starting on their 9th when ... tragedy!
Hamish bit hard but the fish was not fully defrosted, and it dislodged a front tooth of his! He struggled gamely on and got
half way through the fish, but the pain was too much and he had
to give up, leaving Scottie Stevens to finish his 9th and claim victory.

With their apologies for being so late - apparently the flight from Argentina was held up by the wrong kind of snow - and here are Mr and Mrs Fray Bentos, and their sons Jake and Sidney.

And I think - hold on a minute - yes: Jake and Sidney have ventured into the depths of the Matto Grosso, and come back with a snake and a pigmy.
This nuisance must cease............

Re: By the skin of their teeth
The boys are looking distinctly pasty-faced, and by the way they're laying into the booze, they're going to end up getting canned.
