Thailand 2017... beggars belief!!!

[phantomfiddler]

One can see the somewhat misplaced logic here. What does one do to avoid being electrocuted ? Provide a good "earth" ! No hilarity please, electricity was never my strong subject

Local we had an old woman who fell down from her house and hit her head.

 

1 thai neighbour run to help her but when he saw her turning blue in the head he ran away screaming..

 

He thought she was turning into a ghost...she  died....

[faraday]

It's a shocking story.......

 

Jokes aside, it is also very sad as he thought he was helping him.

I am dreading the day that I have an accident here and some locals try to help me.

How do you say in Thai "please don't shake me or try to make me stand up I probably have spinal injuries"?

[Dave67]

I'll be carrying a bucket and spade the next time I turn the lights on, just in case

I take it you haven't seen today's bear story yet?

Many old cemetries in Europe and colonised America (not so long ago!) had little bells attached to twine leading underground, in case the main character at a funeral miraculously revived and wanted to be rescued, brought back to the surface.

Further back, in ancient Egypt, the privileged hi-so's and other aristocrats had their brains pulled out through their nostrils with a highly sophisticated tool (similar to a specially-twisted wire coat-hanger) if they wanted to gain the benefits of mummification (and later resurrection). Priests made a lot of money out of that scam while it lasted.

I guess the hi-so's were certain this final act was something they deserved after a life of favoured luxury. No doubt the priests agreed.

Too bad it was a sad story that made me blow beer out my nose.

Tip for everybody if you have a power failure at home. Just put your hands in the air, because:

 

"Many hands make light work"

The mind boggles... 

[jacko45k]

He obviously misheard this ancient belief, it should be 'bury your own head in sand'......

I'm afraid to ask what the remedy for drowning is !

In the UK the remedy used to be blowing smoke up someones arse. They even had a little bellows system made to do it. Saw that on QI.

I'm glad that they've since relegated the procedure to the Parliament  !!

Darn; thought it was another My "Mate" Nate prank.
