BLUNDERPANTS

Went to trivia last night wearing my underpants back-to-front. That's not something I do very often.

As I was standing in front of the urinal, struggling to negotiate proceedings, the bloke beside me inquired "Lost your dick, mate?" To which I replied "It was here last time I looked."

And it was. Is.

Not in the toilet was a question "What is a nine letter word for a non-electronic police weapon?" We wrote truncheon, which was right. The table beside us wrote billy club, which was wrong because it is two words. Another team answered phone book, which is also two words, but was clearly the best answer.

So is that a phone-book in your pocket?

Does anyone know if there is such a beast as a nine letter electronic police weapon?

Speaking of dicks and cops, I'm reminded of that line from The Choirboys delivered by an old veteran cop to a rookie.

"Hey kid, I gotta go take a leak. You wanna come with me? My doctor said on account of my back I shouldn't lift anything heavy."

A book also memorable for the funniest ever hatpin stuck through a prick stuck through a gloryhole scene.

Code One?. OK two letters short but they do use amplification and electric guitar and ruthlessly verbal contemporary hits .

Code One are more your blunt instrument.

Are capsicums electronic?

I'll have to ask my analyst but for some reason all I can think of is aeroplane, terrorist, detonator and explosion. Nothing to do with police. Brutality? Detention?
