I spent a penny and found a pound
I went to visit my friend the judge this morning, to scrounge £20 for the gas because it ran out sometime between 6 and 9 this morning, and the temperature last night was -3 degrees. I don't normally drink whisky and ginger ale so early in the day but as it was free I poured myself a triple. This was followed by a coffee. As I left his house, I thought I should have had a pee. I was right, because as soon as I got down the "ten foot" opposite his house I needed to go. Looking down, as you do, watching the trickle stream on its way, I noticed the golden glint of a pound coin. I was reminded of the saying when someone is looking glum "What's up with you? Lost a pound and found a penny?". Here it was the other way around, I spent a penny and found a pound...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Its not good to piss on money before putting it in your pocket....
Actually, it didn't get wet. But, it wouldn't have made a difference had that been the case.
