From around 1700 for about 150 years, England had a “window tax”, which was a tax imposed on houses based on the number of windows they had. This is where the term “daylight robbery” originated. Many houses were built with window cavities that were bricked or boarded over in order to avoid the tax. Some of these can still be seen in London today.

Another old school English one – before sewers or cesspits etc were common in England, many people would simply empty their chamber pots in the street. People on the upper floors of houses would often empty the contents out a window onto the street below, yelling out beforehand to warn anybody below to get out of the way. Upon hearing the shout people would quickly scatter to avoid the falling excrement. However, in their drunken stupor, it became somewhat common for men walking home from pubs to react to these yells by stopping and looking up to see what the noise was about, rather than being quick-witted enough to realise and take cover. This led to some men copping a full pot of waste square in the face. This is the genesis of the term “shitfaced”.

On average it takes a male 86 strokes to ejaculate while masturbating

That's efficient. At a guess i'd say i stroke at about 200-300RPM. And sometimes i like to take my time (to make it romantic), so i'd reckon my average would be around 2000-3000.

Edit: Also, strong username to post correlation.

lol I just made it up, but the more I think about it the less believable it seems

I'd vote 4 as well. If you're having a solid 45min - 1hr bowling session I don't think that there is enough rest with 3 bowlers (for a quick with a long-ish run up)

No way. Two quicks and a spinner (and a tailender at the other end) is the perfect training environment. :thumbsu:

Although it means numbers can start to get a bit thin when all the old pricks bowl 10 balls, then sit down/smoke for the rest of training and still ask you for water. :mad: Being the only person under 30 on a team can have its drawbacks. But it means you get to bowl heaps of overs on a Saturday. :thumbsu:
