It must be a sign


So uncle George and I had polished off the usual 5 bottles of wine and stumbled home in the wee hours of the morning. There is a table outside the front door, which happened to have a little tomato on it. George was convinced it was a sign and that there was some meaning to the little tomato... Who put it there? Why did they put it there? What are they trying to tell us? What is the meaning of it? It must be a sign or secret code... Damn that wine was good!

The Martini side of my family is full of alcoholics


In Greece you need to turn the geyser (Thermosifono) on before you have a bath, I doubt many South Africans even know what a geyser looks like! Tsipouro is the local version of Mampoer.

So early one morning (7 frikken am early), I am upstairs and shout downstairs to Uncle George:
Me: "must I switch off the Thermosifono?"
George: "what? you want Tsipouro?"......... at 7 frikken am in the morning!!
