Just been reminded of something I thought was funny.
Got a little airfield near here which seems to be mostly used by gliders. Bosses wife was hanging around the office one day when a glider was being towed up for a flight. Boss said to wife, "Oh look, that plane must have broken down, it's being towed". She believed him.
Every felt really dumb for believing something or saying something that made people just shake their heads and make them feel a bit sorry for you.
When I first met my husband (he's in the Merchant Navy), he told me they sat around making Scrimshaw and at the time I really believed him. 25 years later he's still a wind up merchant.
When I first worked in an office I sent the new lad to the warehouse for 'a long stand'..............I couldn't believe he actually went and I got a rollicking from the boss :-(
I was in an ironmongers shop with the my mate who was looking for a part to repair my car. The shopkeeper said to me "I haven't seen you for a long time". Before I could reply my mate said "yeah, he's been in prison". That was some time ago, I'm still not sure if I've convinced the shopkeeper otherwise.
quite a few years back i got caught out with the title of this post. i even took the dictionary out of his hands whilst agreeing the wager. what a numpty : (
When I first met mr. cupid he told me he went clay pigeon shooting. I got
upset and told him it was cruel. He's never let me live it down! We've been
married 34 years this month.
Reminds me when Mr Alba told an apprentice to go and buy a left handed screwdriver. His colleague, a painter and decorator, told his to go and buy a tin of tartan paint.
This one is a bit rude.
A friend of mine was divorced and on her own for years. She met a new man and was very nervous about going to bed with him.
Eventually the deed was done and afterwards he said
"You are really nice inside."
She launched into a nervous diatribe about having had caeserian sections and never having had a "normal" birth.
He looked at her strangely and then said
"I meant as a person"
friend of mine started work as a garage mechanic. On Day One his new colleagues told him to take a wheelbarrow to the next garage down the road and ask them to fill it up with compression. They obviously all did this, because the other garage sent him back to ask if they wanted blue compression or green compression.
