The announcement of the death of Fidel Castro reminded me of a time way back in the 70s when a group of us attended a fancy dress party. I think I went dressed as a court jester but unsure on that one ( so it must have been a good night !) but most of us were assembled in the Cross Keys Washington when in walks a tallish guy dressed as Fidel Castro.
He wore an army uniform with cap, and a long beard. Most of us ignored him as we didnt know who he was.
Some of us asked, " so wheres Davy then ?" The lone figure then proceeded to remove his hat to reveal a familiar ginger mop, then pulled out the beard on its elastic. It was Davy ! The disguise was so good none recognised him. We still talk about it to this day.
At the same do my mate and his girl friend came dressed as mice ( I know, just use your imagination !) We left the Cross Keys and headed along Washington Village Green to the Washington Arms. Bursting for a pee, Mr Mouse headed for the gents. He was standing there at the urinal relieving himself when in walked someone who wasn't in our group. He just stopped and stared at my mate, who turned to him and said
" Whats the matter, have you never seen a mouse have a piss before ?"
True story.
