I can symphatize, Monty I was working understanding that those Fiji,s used their war clubs to stir butter with during off war times.

Was waiting for you to realise your "typo" Monty!

War club,part time butter churner,rug beater and canoe paddle! Very inventive those Pacificans.

I think I'm going to going to keep it buy the back door .

But remember ............ never bring a War Club ........ to a Gun Fight

Spotted it right away. Got to watch those typo's Monty.

If it is not a tourist piece, it could have considerable value.

American ships were in the Pacific pretty early, and they brought back a lot of this kind of stuff. Say 1820-1945 for a date.

You might try a email to the Peabody Museum or the Bishop Museum in Hawaii.

If I had one of those I might buy a back door too. No wait, I already have a back door right buy the deck! Is this another typo? M nty

Or... If you no longer WANT your back door... the club may come in handy too. Advertise : locked out? Lost keys? Buy the WAR CLUB!

 

[Lucas]

OK, when is a joke no longer a joke?

Ask Monty: he sets the rules.

Must be a private club?
