"Ok Roy give me the bottle opener"
"I didn't bring it" says Roy
"I thought you packed it" Mick gets worried,
He turns to Andy, "Did you bring the bottle opener?"
Naturally Andy didn't bring it.
So they're stuck ten miles from home without a bottle
opener. Mick and Andy beg Roy to go back for it. But he refuses as
he says they will eat all the sandwiches. After two hours, and after
they have sworn on their tortoise lives that they will not eat the
sandwiches, he finally agrees.
So Roy sets off down the road at a steady pace.
20 days pass and he still isn't back and Mick and Andy are
starving, but a promise is a promise. Another 5 days and he still
isn't back, but a promise is a promise. Finally they can't take it
any longer so they take out a sandwich each, and just as they are about
to eat it, Roy pops up from behind a rock and shouts,
"I KNEW IT'......I'M NOT F*CKING GOING!"
