A tad of mirth

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

I had a valuable package sent tracked and signed for, to a relative in the UK to bring out for me. They were given the package by their neighbour, who found it on her doorstep.
My relative complained it had not been signed for, the company said yes it has, by the person its addressed to.
Strange, because it was addressed to ME, not the house owner, care of that address, and I was 2000 miles away when I signed for it.

Lance is a very uncommon name nowadays. But in medieval times people were called Lance a lot.

The difficulty with an aphorism is perspective.
What makes total sense at dinner can make no sense at breakfast.
Hold on....
I might have just written my own aphorism. :shock:

'Measure twice, cut once' is about as deep as I can go these days. Not related to woodwork either. Just a life truth. As I've got older I have lost patience for 'chatter' there's no doubt there. People around me sometimes converse in groups like starlings and I just wait for them to finish talking quite so much. I just think I have heard it all before, why keep repeating it?
I might just be broken. :|

I've been labelled anti social for all my life because I 've followed that philosophy since secondary school :lol: :lol:
But lately i've discovered that I'm only a "social introvert" :eusa-dance: :eusa-dance: 8-)

I started out as anti social, and I progressed to being socially inept for many years before I finally arrived at socially introvert.

I suppose the next step is being a grumpy old social introvert. 8-)

Nurse: Oh no. What happened to your fingers?
Me: You know that thing that chefs do when they chop stuff up very fast..?
Nurse: Yes
Me: Well, I can't do that!
Nurse: Did you bring them in so that the doctor can sew them back on again.
Me: No.
Nurse: Why not?
Me: I couldn't pick them up :lol:

Channel 4 are looking for people to take part in a documentary about people who made the most of the summer holiday by camping in their back gardens.


It's being directed by Tentin Quarantino.

Job

My first job was in an orange juice factory, but I got canned: couldn't concentrate.

People who think that the Covid-19 vaccine will alter their genetic makeup should welcome the opportunity.
