FOOTPRINTS
The OFFICIAL organ of the Abu Dhabi Island Hash House Harriers AUH4
AUH4 Run Number 1558 – Monday 5th May 2008
The Ernie’s Pits Run
The Event:
This week the Hashers all met up behind the ADNOC station – that is, after we went through the ADNOC station and the wrong way down a one way and then around the round about to get to the meeting point – and set out on quite a long run out through Officer’s City. The walkers, of which I was one this week, had a nice stroll through the neighborhood and a good number of us had the opportunity to pull a muscle or two in our backs by carrying Jack the whole way round (thanks everyone for helping!).
After we all made it back, we set off in our cars down some bumpy track to circle up closer to the water. It was fairy lights all around and after a brief circle we all enjoyed the tasty curry creations provided by Leith and Itchy Dick.
To save us all a headache…if you’ve only opened Footprints for directions to next Monday’s Hash, as per every week, they’re AT THE BLOODY BACK
SOCIALS

2010 Interhash – Kuching! 2 – 4 July…be there!
RA – Perthy Throw Up
It must be all the new people, but I dare say the singing is getting worse…and RA made the following charges:
General Sins
Ballbreaker
and MILF were called in because it was recently discovered that those who do the planning in Britain feared a shortage of tea after a nuclear disaster. Too bloody right!
Pashmina
and Paul were called in for being French because the rogue trader who brought down the Societe Generale Bank is now suing said bank for unfair dismissal. Only in America…I mean France.
Jennifer
was called in for representing Florida (she is blonde after all) because a young man in the Sunshine State was recently pulled over for masturbating while driving. He told the officer he needed some personal time that he just wasn’t able to get at home!
Anita
and Tony were called in for representing Virginia because recently someone taking the test to get their driver’s license actually crashed into the DMV building…I’m guessing that person did not pass. Though, if this were West Virginia…maybe.
Sins from the Run
Child Abuse
Never Never
for lessons on how to keep a grandchild quiet: slam her head into the door
CJ
for pointing out one great big red ball to her child. But where is the other?
Dog Abuse
How Much
and Thunder Down Under for allowing their dog to crap in the park…ew.
Hardly Sexy
for eyeing Daisy (the dog) and wondering how she might taste with a little ketchup.
Robin Hood
and Never Never for being Bloody Late Arriving Bastards.
Maurice
thought the run was too short so he ran home.
Anita
and Leith for the heinous sin of Hash Slash
Angry Pussy
for being early to the Friday brunch at the Intercon.
Sex on the Hash
MILF
for saying, "I suppose you wanna get into my seat?!"
Whiplash
– I do not know why, but I know she was called in…as usual.
Pashmina, Itchy Dick
and Bagbum for being victims of Whiplash. Hmmm?
Hash Shit
Scorch
was actually able to get rid of the shit this week because he wore it this time. Unfortunately, he was not allowed to decide to whom it would go….The nominees this week were:
Big Ears
– for knowing too much about the east side of mosques.
Tony
– for wearing yello, and Dirt Track Cowboy for bringing him.
DT Cowboy
was the "winner." I wonder where it will go next week?
The Grub
Leith and Itchy Dick
provided barrels of curry – spicy and otherwise. All good! Many thanks!

"Hashing is a state of mind- a friendship of kindred spirits joined together for the sole purpose of reliving their childhood or fraternity days, releasing the tensions of everyday life, and generally, acting a fool amongst others who will not judge you or measure you by anything more than your sense of humor."
Stray Dog (From the Global Trash Hash Bible complete reference for the Hash House Harriers)
HASH CRAP
And now for the Hash Crap…and it truly is crap (and this is my disclaimer: I don’t write this stuff….I don’t even source it…so if you don’t like it or find it offensive…I suggest you skip this part next time…):
Subject: Women keep their word
"There was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife."
So he got his wife to promise him, with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him.
Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the coffin; the wife was sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the coffin, the wife said, "Wait, just a minute!" She had a shoe box with her; she came over with the box and placed it in the coffin next to the body. Then the undertakers locked the coffin lid down and carried it away. Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the coffin."
She said, "Yes, I promised. I promised him that I was going to put that money in the coffin and I did."
"You mean to tell me you put every penny of his money in the coffin with him?"
"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it!!!"
