This made me laugh.......

This isn't really a joke, because it actually happened to one of my workmates. She's one of those people that things 'happen' to! She used to have a really old Mini, and was trundling along one of the roads in town, hit a bit of a bump, and the car stalled and the bumper fell away. A police car coming in the opposite direction, stopped and the policeman came over to her. She was sitting in the car crying (T used to cry a lot...). He asked her what she'd been doing (meaning what speed) when the car started to fall to pieces, and she answered, "Singing...". Bless her!

green...I know someone just like that!

, SOOP!!

Here's another true story- my lovely but slightly batty sister was at the doctor's when he remarked that the nails on only one hand were bitten. She replied very seriously that she had a split personality.

I wonder if ive met your sister? She sounds like some people I know!

You wouldn't forget her, jeni, she is lovely but can be stubborn. We once had a long, long argument when I had taken her to Lake Garda. She said the earth had its own light source because she had seen it shining in photos taken from satellites. I tried to point out that the side facing away from the sun would be dark, but she got very angry and said her sons knew more about astronomy than me and she would ask them. Perhaps she did, because she has never mentioned it again!

You aren't my aunt are you? She sounds just like my mother

I would love to be your aunt, jeni - shall I adopt you?

Yes please!

You will have to keep your room tidy!

Lol, that's what used to drive my aunt, who is now ninety, nutty when I used to stay with her! She is always tidy!
I must put the group photo taken at my 67th and her90th partyonmy profile!

man goes into the bookstore and asks the young lady assistant.

"Do you have that new book out for men with short penises? I can't

remember the title.

She replies, "I'm not sure if it's in yet."

The man replies, "That's the one, I'll take a copy!!"

Greatnan

Greatnan...they get better and better...

This is a joke I really love, and yet many to not quite 'get it' lol.

How many men does it take to paper a bathroom?

Hmmm depends how thinly you slice them.

(No man hater me, been married to the same one for nearly 41 years - but I've always done all the decorating in our house - a/ because he didn't have time b/ because he didn't have the inclination c/ because he is just hopeless at it! bless his cotton socks - he is VERY clever though - and made sure he made a pig's ear of the first couple of jobs, so he could get out of it in future )

granjura Do you live on Jura? It is a beautiful island to which we have a grand sea view.

Paps of?

jeni the very same...and beautiful they are in the sunlight

Lot of good archaeology up around that area! I would love to be able to visit the islands and see things like maes Howe and scara brae, to say nothing of all your standing stones and circles!
Unfortunately I can't even get to local sites hey ho! That's life. I have seen some marvellous things in my life. I've been very lucky.
Also the holy land on the QE with maniac should be fun in september, I can't wait!

jeni We have standing stones in Kintyre. The peninsula is packed with sites of historical interest. I'm sorry to hear that you are unable to enjoy a very active life. I'm pleased that you have so many good and happy travel memories.

granjura lives in Switzerland - 'just' across Lake Geneva from me. I mentioned seeing 'her' Alps and she corrected me - she lives close to the Jura mountains. It is very beautiful and I have had many happy visits.
We met through an expat forum and became firm friends. She is wise and witty and a great cook and can tell me all the names of the plants and birds we see on our walks.

Well there you go - beat me to it. I was in my green gym (aka garden) - but it's started raining and strong wind - more snow forecast. Spring? We had it last month - hope for a bit more to come.

glassortwo, they say life is stranger than fiction couldn"t stop laughing about your insurance posting , you sort of imagine people writing these things and thinking this is so outlandish they will believe

Please do not shoot the messenger! GN.
