Oct. 28, 2005 - Back in the day.....

My dad was just telling me about a notable mate of his called Sheepdog. Apparently he is what you would call an A-grade Smart Arse.

One night when at a party, my Dad and his were mates were rather disturbed by a pretty, young lady's poignant B.O.  My Dad couldn't stress enough how stunned they all were because it just wasn't and still isn't very common for women to stink. Anyway, she was standing and chatting with their group of friends when Sheepdog placed a hand on her shoulder and said

"Gabby, that's a beautiful perfume you're wearing. What is it?"

Dad said they stood there with tears in their eyes trying not to laugh.

Another time when in Greece, my Dad's friends were sitting at the beach with a girl they had met called Pat. She had a glass eye. The guys decided they wanted to go for a swim. But not before Sheepdog asked Pat a small favour,

"Would you mind keeping an eye on our stuff while we go for a swim".

But the funniest of the stories was when Dad was telling me how his friends had been somewhere Beverly Hills (Kings Head maybe?) and we completely plastered. They were waiting for a cab at the taxi rank A police car on patrol of the area spotted the group of guys and pulled over. With that Sheepdog got in the back and said "Smith St thank you" and closed the door. Cops are tops because they drove him home and didn't even accept his attempts to pay his fare.

I worked with was a 50year old called Belinda who was an absolute crack up. She was telling me how her boyfriend (now her husband), herself, her best friend and her bestfriend's boyfriend used to drive around when they were about 20 and had first gotten their license. Apparently they used to get a rubber arm and fix it so it was half hanging out the boot of the car and all dress in black and drive around the city looking worried. They got pulled over quite a few times by cops but they couldn't do anything about it because they weren't doing anything illegal.
