How much is that doggie in the window?

And No my tail is NOT waggly….
I was not entirely happy about this as it was blowing like crazy and I felt a tad vulnerable. 
BUT a bribe is a bribe I guess and The Boss did let me have that apple core that I had admired all through lunch. 
The Walkers went to an old mining area today “Bendigo” and we spent most of the time trying to avoid the wind.

Todays story comes from the after match function which was held at The Tarras Cafe.

This N.Z.Bloke was a doctor and working at a hospital in New York. Every night after his shift ended he would cross the road to a bar called 
  “Dickies”   ( The owner was Richard) 
and have a drink before heading bark to his apartment.
He was a boring bloke and every night his drink was the same….a  Vodka Orange (Screwdriver).
One night the bar keep, asked him if all Kiwis were as boring with alcohol and when challenged suggested an Almond Daiquiri which was the specialty of the house and his personal pride and joy. 
Our good Kiwi bloke, having no desire to be called boring tried it and was hooked, continuing to drink the concoction from then on.
At the end of the week as he walked into the bar the owner realised that he had completely run out of almond and substituted hickory thinking his customer would not notice the difference.


After taking a sip our hero uttered “What’s up with this Daiquiri, Dick”? 
And got back “ That’s a Hickory Daiquiri Doc”

Everyone laughed. I would have preferred another apple core.
