"Yeah, but that one was rock solid, they found a small metal rod in it"
Ping

"what looser want's a pickled appendix?"

where: Parrots Bar
Who: Many drunks, Canazza
When: after snip
The screaming died down. The Pilots and security personell downned their drinks simultaneously, they saluted One Eyed Pete, the drunken Pirate Inflatable toy that sat merrily on the bar.
The bar emptied like an enema.
"wow" thought canazza, "I'm glad he didn't say engineering personell"
he cursed himself for tempting fate, but it never came.
"Phew"
"'nother beer?" asked the barman
"No thanks, I spend the last of my wage packet buying back my appendix from Timmy"
"yeah, i heard about that. Seem's your friends in engineering had a bidding war going on"
"I ended up paying $£250.43 for it"
"why the 43?"
"It was going up in pennycents, just to drag it out, they finally gave up when they realised i didn't have any more money left and then they'd have to buy it."
"stupid fool, you should have let them"
"No way..."
"why not?"
"I'm very attached to it"
"not as much as you were though - he he"
"Anyway, little do they know the metal rod is actually solid platinum"
"Platinum?!" the barman reeled in shock, "How come you havn't sold it before?"
"It was kept in storage, i couldn't get to it. I figured Keto was keeping it for a retirement fund"
"So what are you going to do now?"
"I've already gotten it valued."
"At what?"
"£$1500, almost three months wages."
"is that all?"
"It was a small rod - i'm going to spend it on something i sorely need"
"what?"
"A Large Brandy"
"coming right up" the barman turned away, just then
--"OKAY -  I need the engineering teams at their posts just in case we need to make repairs"--
the scream from the bar was twice as loud as the first one, however, canazza was the only one making the sound.Name: Dave Canazza
Status: the horror of Canazza sober is just beginning.
