Saw this: Beckham’s son was in a charity match and asked, "What number shirt should I wear, Dad?" David said, "Wear 4 out there, Romeo!"

To be honest I find the thought of buying wine a bit of a turn on. The other day I went into Oddbins and got a Semillon

Something similar happened to me as an apprentice, my bosses fags(woodbines) where under a carpet in a large ball room and I was tasked with crawling underneath it to retrieve them, on my return with fag packet in mouth they all stood around me and tacked me in for what felt like an eternity. The other irritant was the fact it was delt underlay and I was itching like a b#stard all day . Good old days

My new girlfriend and I were travelling to meet my parents for the first time, when she got a flat tyre. So I phoned home to warm them. "Sorry mum" I said, "we're going to be late. My girlfriend's got a puncture." "Oh!" she sighed, "I really thought you had a real one this time!"

Saw this:
I asked the librarian if there were any books on the Titanic.
She said there were, but they'd all be soaking wet now.

Running out of toilet paper, then having to make-do with lettuce leaves, was just the tip of the iceberg.

Oddly I was working on DEC kit but lots of other manufacturers peripherals didn't use it. So you had to reconfigure the PDP11s ports to DTR or whatever.- And then start fiddling with the connector wiring.
Only a bit off topic

I can still remember a LA120 printer and "secondary request to send". Is an interfaker the same as a breakout box?

Yes an interfaker is a breakout box. Being a sad git, I still have one and use it occasionally...
