One would have imagined that after living upon this earth for 45 years, i would have little scope left to me for the pleasurable experience of hearing a quaint saying for the first time but today not only proved me wrong on that score but also brought a brief grin to my lips.
The conversation was revolved around the National Lottery and our shared lack of success therein when a colleague uttered the wonderful line, I'm so unlucky that if i fell into a bucket of tits then i'd still come out sucking my thumb.
It's a new one on me and made me wonder how many other such saying i have yet to discover despite the fact that my youth is now so far behind me that i begin to wonder if the year of my birth was B.C or A.D.
It also made me wonder if i could ever be so unfortunate as to plunge headlong into that proverbial bucket and yet resurface with only my own thumb to show for it?
And how many tits do you get in a bucket anyway?
And where would i find one?
Will i get one for Christmas this year?
It only goes to show that the more you learn, the less you know...
