A rabbit walks into a pub and says to the barman,
'Can I have a pint of beer, and a Ham and Cheese Toastie?'
The barman is amazed, but gives the rabbit a pint of beer and a ham and
cheese toastie.

The rabbit drinks the beer and eats the toastie. He then leaves.

The following night the rabbit returns and again asks for a pint of beer,
and a Ham and Cheese Toastie.

The barman, now intrigued by the rabbit and the extra drinkers in the pub,
(because word gets round), gives the rabbit the pint and the
Toastie. The rabbit consumes them and leaves

The next night, the pub is packed.

In walks the rabbit and says, 'A pint of beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie,
please barman.'

The crowd is hushed as the barman gives the rabbit his pint and toastie,
and then burst into applause as the rabbit wolfs them down

The next night there is standing room only in the pub.

Coaches have been laid on for the crowds of patrons attending.

The barman is making more money in one week than he did all last year

In walks the rabbit and says, 'A pint of beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie,
please barman,

The barman says, 'I'm sorry rabbit, old mate, old mucker, but we are right
out of them Ham and Cheese Toasties..'

The rabbit looks aghast.

The crowd has quietened to almost a whisper, when the barman clears his
throat nervously and says, 'We do have a very nice Cheese and Onion Toastie.'

The rabbit looks him in the eye and says, 'Are you sure I will like it.'

The masses' bated breath is ear shatteringly silent.

The barman, with a roguish smile says,

'Do you think that I would let down one of my best friends. I know you'll
love it.'

'Ok', says the rabbit, 'I'll have a pint of beer and a Cheese and Onion
Toastie.'

The pub erupts with glee as the rabbit quaffs the beer and guzzles the
toastie.

He then waves to the crowd and leaves....

NEVER TO RETURN!!!!!!



One year later, in the now impoverished public house, the barman, (who
has only served 4 drinks tonight, 3 of which were his), calls time.

When he is cleaning down the now empty bar, he sees a small white form,
floating above the bar.

The barman says, 'Who are you?',

To which he is answered,

'I am the ghost of the rabbit that used to frequent your public house.'

The barman says, 'I remember you. You made me famous.

You would come in every night and have a pint of beer and a Ham and Cheese
Toastie.

Masses came to see you and this place was famous.'

The rabbit says, 'Yes I know.'

The barman said, 'I remember, on your last night we didn't have any Ham
and Cheese Toasties.

You had a Cheese and Onion one instead.'

The rabbit said, 'Yes, you promised me that I would love it.

The barman said, 'You never came back, what happened?'

'I DIED' ,said the rabbit.

'NO!' said the barman. 'What from?'

After a short pause The rabbit said...










'Mixin-me-toasties.'

Story was great, however, I haven't a clue as to what "mixin-me-toasties" means.
I also have a gnawing feeling that I have just been put on and I doubt that I shall be mixin-my-toasties either once I figure it out.

Joe, a toastie is a sandwhich where you put it into a machine that melts the cheese and whatever other filling sealing the edges. Quite popular here in Britain. Akin to your to " George Foremans clean mean grilling machine" Hope that helps.

It is a play on words for myxomatosis - a disease that regularly wipes out the British rabbit population.

Aha, yes, that makes sense...Myxomatosis (commonly called 'myxi') is a disease which affects rabbits. It is caused by the Myxoma virus. First observed in Uruguay in the late 1800s, it was deliberately introduced into Australia in 1950 in an attempt to control rabbit infestation and population in Australia. It was introduced illegally to France in 1952 and as a result spread to the rest of Europe. Thanks Robert
