SCM trip to Prof. C C De Silva's estate, group photo,

 Photo taken in 1962

A group of us were invited by Prof. C C De Silva, for a day out at the Professors rubber estate off Saalawa. This was mainly the Student Christian Movement crowd, at the Medical Faculty. Can you identify the people in the crowd? Dougie is there.
The original photo is with Jeyendran Gunasekaram and I took a copy of it.

Irish Jokes

John Edmondson  ·   ·

A farmer drove to a neighbor's farmhouse and knocked at the door.

A boy, about 9, opened the door

"Is your dad or mum home?" said the farmer.

"No, they went to town."

"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"

"No, he went with Mum and Dad."

The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other,and mumbling to himself.

"I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give Dad a message."

"Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard  getting my daughter Suzy pregnant".

The boy thought for a moment...

"You would have to talk to Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the pig, but I don't know how much he charges for Howard."
