I am beginning to understand American terminiology, Sir.

I now know way you get a 'piece of ass'. It appears to me, Sir, that if you got the whole thing at once it would kill you.

Sir, I am afraid I will have to give you my resignation

because last night I let my frustrations get the best of me and drank far too much at the Ship's Wheel....Yes, Sir. I admit I said several terrible things about you...
Sir, could you explain what you mean by "Welcome to the club?"...


My other blog is Piccolo's Hash.Day to day observationshttp://piccoloshash.blogspot.com/

What are you going to do with that can of

paint, Sir?... Oh, yes. I see. I might add that he certainly does have it coming.

--------------------------------------------------------
You're right, Sir. The Three Stooges really are a 'guy sort of thing'. I truly hate to admit it, but I do see why American men do Curly imitations even though it is thoroughly ridiculous.

--------------------------------------------------------

By the term'Boy Scout water' do you mean the kerosene or the gasoline, Sir?

--------------------------------------------------------

You are absolutely correct, Sir. I never gave it much thought, but there is nothing in the world more indignant than a person that gets what they have had coming to them. The look on that Lefty chaps face was priceless.

I must be getting forgetful, Sir. I was starting to cook

and then I remembered that tonight was free spaghetti night at the club.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, if we move our camp so near the cannery, won't there be a vermin problem? Right, Sir... SPCA. The biggest, meanest Tom they have.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir, you spent the entire afternoon working like a naavy cleaning out that old womman's garage and didn't charge her a dime...Then again, we did manage to pick out a few things we can use from the refuse we hauled off... You also say she's the best cook in town? You, Sir, should be running General Motors!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bad news, Sir. Blaine Welsh was killed while fishing...The barman at the Ship's Wheel said his father would be coming into town to take his son home...Yes,Sir. I'll make sure we're at the airport to meet him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One hundred and thiry two dollars and two airline tickets to St. Croix? That won't buy us a single night in a decent hotel! Then again, I suppose we will live here about as well as we live hee, Sir. I'll pack immediately.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------




My other blog is Piccolo's Hash.Day to day observationshttp://piccoloshash.blogspot.com/

You certainly have a high pain threshold, Sir.

That is quite a knot on your head, but the tree looks like it took the worst of it.
---------------------------------------------------------

Sir, I have noticed that the more primitive you cook something, the better it tastes. At School they never taught me how to simply throw an excellent piece of beef into a raging inferno.

---------------------------------------------------------

Fishing with a pole, Sir? I see...we're fresh out of explosives.

What do you mean you could use a good bust in the mouth, Sir?

You certainly don''t intend to get into a fistfight, now, do you Sir?....Oh. I see, Sir. The tall woman in the high heels.
------------------------------------------

King Crab again, Sir? I never thought I'd say this, but it does grow rather tiring.

------------------------------------------

To the vinyard it is, Sir. Do you want the Welch's grape juice or the bargain brand, Sir? Oh, and I shan't forget the sugar, yeast, and I will make sure to grab a five-gallon water cooler bottle and a condom. You do make a fine wine, Sir.

------------------------------------------

My other blog is Piccolo's Hash.Day to day observationshttp://piccoloshash.blogspot.com/

Do you really think you will get away with that, Sir?

I see,Sir... They probably WILL pin it on that little savage, now, won't they?




Sir, they did not teach me brawling skills at school, Sir. However, while working with you I have managed to learn quite a bit. Calling it 'hands on' training is the most accurate description I can think of.



While you were out fishing a storm came up and for a minute I was worrried. It then occurred to me that you are highly unlikely to drown at sea, Sir, because you have obviously been born to be hanged.


My other blog is Piccolo's Hash.Day to day observationshttp://piccoloshash.blogspot.com/

Sir when I cleaned out under the bed I found a

rather large of woman's undergarments. Her bottom must have been a yard wide. Of course the two empty whiskey bottle I found next to it probably explain it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
How nice of you to feed that hungry little kitty...Sir, do rinse that fork off so your breakfast doesn't taste like Little Friskies.

Ahh! Halibut! Most excellent, Sir. I do not know how you manage, but we seem to eat somewhat better than those that are far more comfortable than us.

I can tell you what this is not, Sir. It's not the Glenlivet 12 year old single malt.

It probably is a good idea to take the train, Sir,

------------------------------------------------------------------------
We JUMP, Sir?...Oh, dear!

A Russian ship has pulled into port, Sir...You know about that already? The political officer?... You put what in his drink?...Sir, How about tattooing the the Stars and Stripes AND the Union Jack on him?

It has occurred to me, Sir that your day to day

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I stand corrected, Sir. A hammer WAS in fact, the proper tool for the job.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A fish fry, Sir? Sounds like a suitable way of getting people to bring beer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That Ralph chap, Sir. The one in the wheelchair. I notice a lot of the chaps help him in and out...Vietnam?...I see, Sir. Most excellent. I will make it a point to keep and eye on him and help out.

Sir, the barman at the Ship's Wheel says that they're saving their aluminum cans for you as payment for services rendered...Yes, Sir. I understand scrap metal is up. You should make a killing, as the fleet is in and the fishermen seem to have done quite well.

Yes, you! I was certainly not addressing some cartoon character, Sir.

Not now, Sir. As you say, they get more generous after dark.

But,Sir!

Sir, I found a short length of ladder at the sanitary landfill and I have taken the liberty of hiding it behind Miss Cheryl's shrubbery. Frankly, I'm getting tired of having you stand on my shoulders to climb in her rear window.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The barman at the Ship's Wheel mentioned that he considered you one of his favorites, Sir.He said you always had enough money for beer, but none for cocaine.
Having watched the crewmen of Sandy May the other night, I'd have to agree with him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, Sir, Our financial tables may be in for an upsurge,as that native chap you buy a beer for occasionally told me to inform you that scrap metal prices are on the rise.

I suppose if I was carrying a rifle capable of stopping a bear in its tracks, I wouldn’t be too concerned about it, either, Sir.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have managed to teach me one thing, Sir, about whiskies. When you want a drink and you want to KNOW you have had one, reach for American Bourbon whiskey. Would you please pass me the Jim Beam!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


That is quite compassionate of you to help that woman changing her career, Sir. She will no longer work at the bordello. It must have been difficult for her to put together a resume, but you were clever, Sir, with her work history. Listing ‘worked under a number of different people in various interesting positions’ covered up a lot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is probably going on your permanent record, Sir.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are you doing crawling under that pickup with a fish, Sir… The catalytic converter?…I see, Sir.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You do realize he will be upset when he finds out about this, Sir.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, the caretaker of the sanitary landfill has been very good to us lately. I dropped him off a bottle of that hootch the native chap made for us. He was most grateful.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, I realize that this is none of my business, but I often thought you should have sought out employment on one of the fishing boats. This morning I realized that you live somewhat better than most of the fishermen without exposing yourself to considerable risk and a lot more trouble.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


That sounds excellent, Sir, and you are absolutely correct. Venison, King crab, halibut, scallops and salmon does get tiring. A cheeseburger at the diner sounds most superb.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, I did not graduate from a prestigious school of the butler arts by being so foolish as to jump out of a perfectly good airplane…

6 hours later: “Geronimo!”

Sir, you don’t intend to butcher that animal with a reciprocating saw… Oh… Well at least it won’t make as big a mess as the circular saw did last month.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why are you carrying that chain saw? We certainly do not need any more fire wood… You say that McAdams character owes you how much money? Well, it certainly looks like you’ll collect it, Sir!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That woman that works at the pizza palace came by and dropped off a pizza and six bottles of beer. It was certainly very nice of her…Oh. I see, Sir. That was for me? Why, thank you. That was gracious… You’ll see me tomorrow?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, there’s someone sleeping in the pickup that I do not recognize…Yes, Sir. The ditch. Do let me help you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

At first, I thought it to be most savage when you shot that poor, defenseless animal, Sir. However, I do now confess to looking forward to an excellent series of repasts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, a rock must have punctured the muffler on the pickup…a coffee can and wire? Immediately, Sir.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, I checked with the barman at the Ship’s Wheel, and he told me that that little savage that we put on the freight train has returned from Manitoba… Certainly, Sir. I’ll check the rail yards daily… Montreal, it is.

Why, he’ll have a devil of a time getting out! …Right, Sir. Then we won’t have to run… I see... On ‘3’ we lift smartly… Do lift with your legs, Sir, as I would hate to see you injure your back.
-------------------------------------------------------------


That was quite gracious, Sir.
=========================================================================

Uh, By ‘shampoo’, Sir, are you referring to the liquid dish soap or the cudgel next to it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The constable stopped across the street, Sir…sir…sir…SIR! I swear he was here a minute ago…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, Lord. It looks like you will again be washing your hands in petrol, on the other hand, it’s rather nice driving a truck with brakes for a change.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, Sir, it DOES work, I’ll say that.
===============================================================================


Fishing tackle, Sir? But the box is clearly marked as containing explosives! In the truck? Under the tarp? At once, Sir.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When this year is up, Sir, I’m going to see if that Indiana Jones chap can use my services. Lord knows, working for most anyone else will be quite boring after my year with you. On the other hand, it WOULD be considerably safer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I must he the only butler in my class that puts on a fresh set of coveralls to receive guests.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That redheaded lass, Sir…What do you mean? I cannot possibly comprehend how a freight train can take a dirt road…Oh.

Sir, I have most ghastly news. The barman at the Ship’s Wheel informed me that Lisa Gale went down with all hands… Yes, Sir. I understand you knew the entire crew…I can certainly see why you feel like a fugitive from the law of averages, Sir.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Uh, Sir, the started you rebuilt just failed…Go into the bar and round up the usual chaps? Which bar?… The nearest one? Yes, Sir.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

That man has the most ghastly odor about him, his coveralls smell like over ripe fish. What? You say that in this town that is what money smell like? I see, Sir.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

That greasy little thug that keeps trying to pick a fight with you seems to have passed out. What? Get the pickup, you say? ...You can’t be serious, we’re not giving him a ride home…Oh, I see…The rail yard?... The box car?... Manitoba? I’ll get the pickup immediately, Sir!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was quite a nasty spill you took, Sir. You what? Well, I’m certainly glad for your sake that you had the presence of mind to land on your head.

Good lord, Sir. I am in

----------------------------------------------------------------

I have taken careful note of the fact, Sir, that you take a little time out to try make the less fortunate. Why, you made that poor wretched soul feel a bit better about himself. I am quite sure that not very may of my future employers would even give any of these people the time of day…You’re right, Sir, and I am humbled. We are in fact only a small step away from that…Upon giving it a bit more thought, Sir, EVERYONE is a small short step from that. You simply realize it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


The wooden shampoo, Sir? ...Oh…. Do you want the baseball bat or will this board suffice?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The kitchen is going to be rather nasty when you finish cleaning and packaging that animal, Sir, and I suppose you’ll use petrol to mop the floor again. This time do remember to extinguish all pilot lights, as the last time you failed to do so, it took considerable time for your hair, beard and eyebrows to grow back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------


Sir, at the wrecking yard today when you were discussing new tires for the pickup, there were two terms I was most unfamiliar with. What’s the difference between a ‘baloney skin’ and a ‘may-pop’?
----------------------------------------------------------------------


When you said ‘snake’, Sir, were you referring to a serpent or that despicable creature sitting at the end of the bar?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That young lady isn’t the most attractive sort, Sir, but I suppose our lack of electricity will vastly improve her appearance later this evening.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I fail to see how you are going to place the contents of two full military kitbags in that single washing machine, Sir. On the other hand, I notice you are wearing a rather substantial pair of boots.

Sir, I have just returned from town, Sir. The barman at the Ships Wheel told me to inform you that the fishing fleet is at sea, there are a considerable amount of women out and about and that South Sea Island chap has been returned to what he referred to as ‘the booby hatch’. It looks to me like the table is set, so to speak.

---------------------------------------------------------------------


On top of that, those homeless people do wonderful job of keeping you posted on the affairs of the town. You have missed your true calling. You should have been an MI-5…ahem.. CIA operative, Sir.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, I asked the barman who the town drunk was and he explained that there was no one town drunk. You all take turns. Judging from the way you downed those last four cocktails, Sir, am I to assume that tonight you are taking your turn?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good God, Sir!

That’s the last of the elk, Sir? I’ll admit it was a trifle tiring, Sir. However, it has made me grateful there are no elephants here.

of other people’s misfortunes, Sir? I see… You’re quite right, Sir. I never considered it in that light. Why that is EXACTLY what the majority of Harvard Law School graduates do!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


This could lead to blows, Sir.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having no electricity certainly does make the women considerably more attractive, Sir.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, Dear! You have ruined your good suit of clothes! Tomorrow morning I shall go straight to the thrift store and purchase another pair of ‘gently used’ blue jeans and a complimentary matching flannel shirt, Sir.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I seem to have observed that your set of army surplus stainless steel dinnerware is far more practical than bone china, Sir.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see the fire department is conducting a pressure test of the hydrants today… Free car wash? Excellent idea, Sir. The pickup can certainly use it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------


Your financial advisor says ‘sell’? I’ll load the empty aluminum beer cans into the pickup at once, Sir!

Day to day observations

http://piccoloshash.blogspot.com/

Ahh, a shopping trip is on the schedule, how

delightful! Will the days shopping commence at the wrecking yard, Larry's Army surplus,the Salvation Army thrift store or the sanitary landfill, Sir?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I fail to see how someone's generosity changes with the setting of the sun, Sir...I see. I shall get you the navy watch sweater for this endeavour...Oh, and I highly recommend you blacken your face.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, I checked at the Ship's Wheel and there was a message from a Marie. It seems that the cable telly people want a rather large sum to reconnect her service. Although she said she was strapped for cash, Candice from the gentlemman's club owes her a few favors...Yes, Sir. I'll get the tool kit.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, I must confess that when I was a student, I took a rather seedy room in s somewhat dubious neighborhood. I took to keeping a cricket bat nearby in case I had to fend of an unwanted intruder. I can now see that an American baseball bat would have been a far superior instrument, as you have so capably demonstrated on that little thug, Sir.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

You are actually paying CASH for this, Sir?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

We're crossing the creek here, Sir? I see no bridge, nor stepping stones...You call this a what? ... A 'Tarzan rope' Sir?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


The Hash blog is up for the day;

piccolo's butler

Brooks Brothers suit, Sir? Oh, that's what you call that 'gently worn' pair of jeans and flannel shirt you bought at the Salvation Army thrift store.
-------------------------------------------------------

Sir, I'm quite impressed to hear you have vetenary skill, but I fear I can not find the 'bear medicine' you sent me to get. I've searched all the cupboards and see nothing appropriately labeled as such...The what, Sir? The .375 H&H? I presume you are referring to that rather large rifle you keep next to the door, Sir.

------------------------------------------------------
Sir, I believe Sir Winston Churchill was right when he said 'Two peoples seperated by a common language".

------------------------------------------------------

Sir, wasn't that quite a prominant citizen you embarrassed? Oh, I see. You say you won't have to buy a drink for two weeks? I don't understand. Ahhh.... I see, Sir. The natives don't care very much for him.
----------------------------------------------------

Yes, sir, she really is quite an eyeful. I believe the term you used to describe her twin sister was along the lines of 'constructed like an adobe loo', Sir.

Piccolo's butler

A train trip? How exciting, but I didn't know the rails had a passenger depot here, Sir... I see. Well, I'll pack our kits at once.....Right, Sir. Third box car.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a first-class job you did repairing that kitchen, Sir. You are certainly quite talented with your hands. What was that newspaper wrapped package you hid under the cabinet? You say it's a fish? Well, that will certainly make her put your bill straight to the to of her 'fees to be remitted' list, now, won't it?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Oh, Dear, you can not possible be serious.......

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, why do you refer to that case of inexpensive liquor as 'trading stock'?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The beginnings of the butler

are explained on my other blog, Piccolo's Hash.

The butler ancedotes in the hash came from something in my somewhat checkered history.

Here's a link. http://piccoloshash.blogspot.com/2010/01/piccolos-butler.html

The link will briefly explain where my butler came from.

I have also decided to rename him 'Reginald'


With no further ado, I will begin posting things Reginald said during his year of service to me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir, this is a culinary masterpiece! It's absolutely delicious! Why is it called 'Road Kill Stew"?...Oh.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You don't seem to be drinking very much tonight, Sir...Yes, I noticed the locals putting out their rubbish tins on out way home. What? Sidewalk shopping,you call it? ... I shall certainly see you are up before the rubbish is removed, Sir, as there are doubtlessly a few things we can use.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this a state or Federal level offence, Sir?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Egad, Sir! You scaled that stripling tree like a cat!....Uh, Sir? Does this have anything to do with that rather large brown animal headed in this direction?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Sir, you DID appear to have a rather entertaining time last evening..... This morning several of the chaps were laughing about wearing that woman's panties while traipsing about in the gentleman's club...Yes...You don't remember very much of it? I see, Sir...While, the chaps downtown made it sound like, uh, rather deviant behaviour on your part, Sir, but I think I managed to clear it up a bit when I explained that you were actually wearing her knickers on your head, Sir.
