“Last night I fell asleep on a bed of rice. I was out as soon as my head hit the pilau”

Pilau talk
A BOISTEROUS stag night ended in a Glasgow Indian restaurant where the groom fell asleep while eating his meal. When he came to and asked his mates if he had been asleep long, his best man rather wittily told him: “You were out for the count as soon as your head hit the pilau.”
