Obviously it's not really funny but I've just spent half an hour on the phone defending myself because apparently I haven't opened the shop on time. I've no idea what shop and neither does she but that doesn't stop it all being my fault. She's going to see a solicitor about it. If I didn't laugh sometimes I'd cry.”
That reminds me of a joke someone played on me in school. A friend pointed at an invisible little man in the palm of her hand saying: 'look, I've got a little gnome here, and I'm going to undress it now. First I'm going to take of his little jacket... so can you hold that for me?'
And of course I took it, holding it in the air between finger and thumb, fascinated where the story would go, until at the end of the joke I confessed to not believing in gnomes and the friend pointed at my pinched finger and thumb, still hight in the air, firmly holding on to its jacket.
Hope you're having a good weekend grumpies, or looking forward to one.
