‘slagged’.
The Jacks—You may know it as the restrooms or
toilets. In Ireland they are called “the jacks”. If you
arrive in a pub you might ask the barman “Where’s
your jacks?” & they’ll point you in the right direc-
tion.”
“Stall the ball”—“Stall the ball for a minute”
is a playful way of asking someone to slow down;
either literally, or just in conversation. If you’re
on tour, it’s acceptable to shout out to your guide,
“Can you stall the ball please - I want to get a few
photos here”
Craic—One of the more well known Irish words
of phrase. Put simply, craic means fun. But craic is
slightly more versatile. It can mean good times, good
company and conversation, or even be a form of
greeting.
Examples: “It was great craic last night”, or
“What’s the craic?” You might see the phrase ‘Craic
agus ceoil’ advertising a pub. This means ‘Live music
and good fun’ in Irish.

A Critical Sense Fragrance &
of Smell Sex Appeal
Fragrance & Sex Appeal | How Do Women Re-
act To A Man’s Scent? | Smell & Mate Selection
1-Factor-For-Women-In-Mate-Selection-tall
Ask any woman for her most desirable trait in a
man.
She might say a kind heart, a charming smile or
even good looks.
Dig a little deeper and you’ll hear women ad-
mitting that a man’s scent makes them weak in their
knees.
Smell – or a man’s scent – has been proven
through experiments to be the #1 factor for women
when it comes to selecting a potential partner.
What causes instant attraction between a man
and a woman? According to a group of researchers
in Europe – A man sees but a woman smells.

sonality and Individual Differences journal showed

We then walked past a sheep field and the ram
was mating the ewe.
Again my girlfriend asked: “How does the ram
know when the ewe is ready for sex?”
I replied: “It’s nature. He can smell she is ready.”
We then went past a cow-field and the bull was
mating with the cow. My girlfriend said: “This is
odd. They are really going at it. Surely the bull can’t
smell when she is ready?”
I said: “Oh, yes; it’s nature. All animals can
smell when the female is ready for sex.”
Anyway, after the walk, I dropped her home
and kissed her goodbye.
She said: “Take care and get yourself checked
out for Covid-19.”
Surprised, “Why do you say that?” I asked her.
She replied: “You seem to have lost your sense
of smell.” Read more at https://www.realmenrealstyle.com/women-

Sheep take over parking lot of closed McDonald’s
April 22 (UPI) -- A flock of sheep descended on a McDonald’s restaurant
closed due to the coronavirus pandemic in Wales.
Andrew Thomas said he was leaving the Aldi store in Ebbw Vale on Satur-
day when he noticed the nearby McDonald’s parking lot was full of sheep.
“Even the sheep in Ebbw Vale, Wales, are having McDonald’s with-
drawals,” Thomas wrote in a Facebook post about the unusual scene.
Thomas said the fast-food restaurant had been closed due to COVID-19.
“I saw the sheep and took a pic to put on Facebook as a joke after ev-
eryone has been posting [about] cravings and withdrawals for McDonald’s
food,” Thomas told CNN. “It’s normal south Wales valley life to see sheep
wandering down the streets of Ebbw Vale. Or even horses or cows.” Andrew Thomas

The Piano Man
A man moved to another state where he didn’t know anyone. In the move,
his old piano was jarred, and of course it needed to be tuned when the man
arrived.
So he asked around, and was told that Earl Opporknockity was the best
piano tuner in the area. The man called Earl and hired him to tune his piano.
Earl had a keen ear and a deft touch, and did a wonderful job tuning the old
piano. The man was able to play beautiful music once again, and was very
pleased. After a year or so the old piano started producing sour notes again. So
the man called Earl, and asked him to come work his magic on the old piano
again.
To the man’s surprise, Earl refused, saying “Sorry, I can’t accept the job.”
“Why not?” the man wanted to know. “I’ll pay you twice as much as last
time if you’ll just come tune my piano.”
“Haven’t you heard?” Earl asked, “Opporknockity only tunes once.”

During World War II, in an
effort to disguise the facility
and ward off enemy fire, offi-
cials at Burbank’s Lockheed
Air Terminal (now known as
Bob Hope Airport ) took the un-
usual but highly effective step
of covering the entire airport
with strategically placed cam-
ouflage netting. Up from the air,
in the eyes of the enemy, the
entire area looked like a rural
subdivision.
In February 1942, a Jap-
anese submarine was spotted
just outside San Francisco
Bay. When another Japanese
submarine surfaced off Santa
Barbara, a few nights later,
and fired a few shells at an oil
storage facility the War Depart-
ment ordered Lt Gen John L De Before
Witt, head of Western Defense
Command, to protect vital
installations along the Pacific
Coast.
The job of disguising Cali-
Colonel John F. Ohmer
fornia fell upon Colonel John
F Ohmer, a pioneer in camou-
flage, deception and misdirec-
tion techniques. During the
Battle of Britain in 1940, Col-
onel Ohmer’s carefully made
and positioned camouflage
caused the Luftwaffe to waste
thousands of tons of bombs on
empty fields.
With help of scenic design-
ers, painters, art directors,
landscape artists, animators,
carpenters, lighting experts

its neighborhood.
12 Bubba Living March 2021Ohmer concealed key factories and
assembly plants that may be targets, in-
cluding Douglas Aircraft. In a short period
of time the entire area of the factory was
camouflaged. The Lockheed-Vega aircraft
plant in Burbank was fully hidden beneath
a complete suburb replete with rubber au-
tomobiles and peaceful rural neighborhood
scenes painted on canvas. Small farm com-
plete with animals, a barn, a silo and other
buildings were erected. Pastoral settings
used frames of lumber and large spreads of
canvas.
Hundreds of fake trees and shrubs were
positioned to give the entire area a 3-dimen-
sional appearance. The trees and shrubs
were created from chicken wire treated
with adhesive, then covered with chicken
feathers for leaves, then painted various
shades of green (with spots of brown, even).
Air ducts were disguised as fire hydrants.
In other sections, scattered decoy air-
craft made of canvas scraps, ration boxes,
and burlap on chicken wire as well as flat-
tened tin cans dominated the landscape.
None of these aircraft looked real up close
but looked great from a distance. Fake run-
ways were made by burning grassy strips.
Maintaining the illusion of a neighbour-
hood required signs of life and activity.
Workers emerged to relocate automobiles,
and took walks on hidden catwalks. Some
took washing down from fake clotheslines
only to replace it later at scheduled times.
Parked automobiles were moved to indicate
drivers were using their cars daily and re-
turning home from work.
Ohmer’s “suburb” brought requests for
other camouflage projects. In Seattle, Boe-
ing Aircraft covered nearly 26 acres. It
became covered by a complete town with
municipal buildings, a park, schools and
homes.
The disguise of California ceased to be
critical when the US Navy dealt a smash-
ing defeat to a Japanese carrier task force
at Midway Island. The threat of a serious
attack against the West Coast diminished,
then vanished.
