I wish, that I knew what was doing!

Good one
In Cowboy terms there is a famous pistol made by and called 'LeMat' [the surname of its inventor/maker]
Whenever one comes up on ebay they translate it to 'The Rug' !

I'm glad she did, I didn't want it to be taken in the wrong way by anyone. It is more a translation thing than anything nasty. When I first saw the description what came to mind was a Tu22 drone, for some reason "Blind man" to me came across as no pilot lol. I was being far too metaphorical perhaps!

I like it! I'm Aussie so our slang and pronunciations lead to lots of misunderstandings and confusion.

Don't worry about it, I have just painted her a T shirt to commemorate one of my heart attacks last year.

Work out the joke for yourself.


A pilot dog? Muttley maybe?
