Hee hee this made me chuckle today!

Went to No1 son's christmas Fete.
Had a go on the lucky dip.
Lady on the stall says 'Gosh I hope you don't win those spider plants'.
'So do I', says I, 'I grew them'.

Poor lady did not know where to look!



Have you got any good gaffes?

Went to the local sandwich shop for a breakfast tray. They are always spot on with the decorations. As soon a Halloween decorations come down the Guy fawkes go up. As soon as these come down, usually the Crimbo decorations go up.
Yesterday, no Christmas decorations even though all the other shops in the block were decorated.
"You're letting the side down this year" says I!!!!!!! Yes I know says shop owner, my Mother just died yesterday!!!!!!!!

Talk about digging a hole to crawl into!!!!!

Donated some clothes to the charity shop i help at. Next week we were sorting out the clothes to go out, one of the ladies, elderly soul said. Oh my goodness look at this top it is so way out, i don't know who would wear such a thing!! I nearly choked on my tea, bless her you could have toasted crumpets on her red cheeks when she realised it was my top!!

I once went on a rant about how 'all' teachers are institutionalised, that they know nothing but the education system because that's where they've spent their entire lives and they don't understand the outside world.
The guy I was talking to replied, "both my parents are teachers".

Maybe I shouldn't have said "all"!

My mum once asked a lady who lived in our road who was expecting how long she had until the baby was born, the reply was ' I had the baby two weeks ago!' Whoops, she never spoke to mum again.

I had just installed a new screen saver when a member of staff who is on long term sick dropped in unexpectedly with her husband following a very harrowing clinic appointment. We were talking over some of her problems when Father Christmas on his sleigh appeared on my PC, flying in the night sky and flashing back to the elves in his workshop to the tune of "Santa Claus is coming to Town".
