The chat up lines thread made me think of one, for some reason...lol
When I was a PA, there was a junior assistant in the office who was 17, Stacey. We had organised an "activity day" for nurses and social carers, to give them an idea of what was available within the council for their patients. Stacey was in charge of writing the names of the nurses on sticky labels. I came to see her after a few minutes, and she was painstakingly writing the names backwards on the labels. I asked...WTF are you doing???? (In my usual nice voice). And she said "Well, it's so other people can read them when they're on"........
when working on a ship, we throw food waste over the side, at sea that is, not alongside!
anyway one of the lads was ditching some cardboard box's and said was there anything else, that could go, i said there was some waste in a green bucket in the galley (kitchen) that could go in, so off he went to top up his cardboard box,
he returned a minute later to say, the waste had soaked through the cardboard?????
instead of the bucket of waste,
he had poured a bucked of water into the box.......
We were preparing a storytime in the library for a visiting class of children, and the teacher had told us they were currently learning about Japan, so a junior decided to make a display containing Japanese flags. She got sheets of white paper, drew a circle on them, then proceeded to colour the circle in with a red felt-tip pen.
I watched her for a bit, then gave her some sticky-backed red paper..........
Aw...I just remembered talking to my bro when I was about 10...The lottery had gone up to 50 million Francs...And I went "Wow, that means all 50 million French people could have 1 million each!!!!"
To which my bro went "errrr....No?"
We laughed till we peed ourselves then ...Well, at least I did! lol
slightly off the subject, but at the weekend my 73 yr old neighbour came in, and asked my 11 year old (cheeky) son what he wanted to be when he grew up (like that's gonna happen!)...
My friend had a duh moment. Her mother in law died and she wanted to tell her hubby personally. Her car wouldn't start so she took a cab many miles to her husband's work.
When they got to his works car park they both simultaneously asked where the others car was parked. It was then she found out her car sharer hubby was a passenger that day. And his car was at home in the garage....
