text: its an old one!? a bloke working on a building site, walks under the scaffolding just as  a wall brick falls, someone shouts a warning and he ducks, and tries to twist out of the way, but the brick skims his head, and takes his ear clean off. they rush him to hospital where they stitch it back and bandage him up and he has to go back in 6 weeks . on his return they remove the bandages, hand him a mirror and the surgeon, proud of his work says, "hows that" the man takes one look and says, thats not my ear" the surgeon stunned by this asks,"what do you mean not your ear?" and the man replies" mine had a pencil behind it" i just choked and thought that was better.
