A guy gets a job at a remote mining camp. After a couple of days work, he goes into the local, has a few beers, and asks the bartender about the lack of women in the camp. "No birds for 200 miles", replies the barman. "What does a man do for sex?". The bartender points to a large barrel in the corner. "Put ya old fella in the hole. Any day except Thursday". The guy wanders over & does as he's told. Within two minutes, he's got his end away. "Christ, that's not bad!", he thinks. He returns the next two nights, and gets the same result. The third night, he asks the barman if the barrel is free. "Like I said, any day except Thursdays". "Why Thursdays?", the guy asks. "Thursday's your day in the barrel".
