Daily chuckles

Hehehe, I'm off to Italy next week for work and the work system sends out political, medical and cultural advisories for any place you're going to visit. 

Bring on the weight gain next week ,lol!!!

Oh man, I would love to rapport-build in Italy! 

My chuckle of the day is this:

One of the Worst The Price Is Right Players Ever

Mostly Bob Barker's reaction at the end! 

DS had jury duty last week and turned up wearing his "Prisoner" t-shirt -- with "I am not a number" on the back of it.  (Likely no one got it but at least the case was dismissed)

My 6 year old nephew asked DH last night if he played soccer in 'the big leagues'. He was surprised when DH said 'no' as he though he had. It was pretty cute! 

About an hour ago I was thinking about how I'd really like something sweet, preferably chocolate and at that moment my neighbour came over to hand us a couple of boxes of chocolates as thanks. Whoo hoo!

Thinking I should get a lottery ticket today.

DS is always ranting about the poor service he gets in some stores (not that he blames the assistants themselves, being in retail himself). But sometimes we have some funny encounters.
We were in Home Depot wandering around when one of those sales people who push certain lines approached. She was fairly well tarted up so I was a bit taken aback when she asked "Are you looking for new cabin-nents?" "Err, sorry?" "Would you be interested in new cabin-nents for your kitchen?" Managed to convince her we were not interested and then staggered around the corner before we started laughing.
The other day in the L.L. Bean store I was leafing through their sale rack and DS was moaning he did not understand women's sizing. So I started to explain the difference between juniors, misses and women's. The sales assistant came over and wanted to know what size -- at first I thought she was talking to him 

Was sat next to a chatty lady at the dentist today. I could tell you her life story.

One of the things she told me was that she doesn't like anesthetic when she visits the dentist, so unless she has a treatment involving the roots, she doesn't. Apparently she just meditates the pain away. And she was going in today for a filling.

Crazy woman.

Haha wow that is a chuckle! I loathe the dentist, you better believe I ALWAYS use the anesthetic if it's offered hehe

I always find that something funny happens with me and the guys at work (and it's ALWAYS a terminology thing!) I had just moved into my new office and my first convo about it with a co-worker:

Co-worker: I really like your office Amber, I think it's a great office for you! But I think it's missing something...
Me: Pictures?
Co-Worker: No, a "pot plant"!!
Me: Ummm...I'm pretty sure that's illegal even here Jon! (teasing him, I knew he meant a "potted plant" or house plant, but I like to tease them because they tease me about my American terms all the time)
Co-Worker: You nutter, I mean a nice plant in a pot, not marijuana! Why does it always have to be about drugs sex and alchol?!!
(At this point our boss walks around the corner to see what the commotion was about)
Boss: What's going on??
Me: Jon's encouraging me to participate in illegal activity by getting a pot plant!
Co-Worker: (In almost a kids voice) AM NOT!!! I told her to get a pot plant!
Me: See?? 
Boss: (laughing) Jon, stop trying to get my foreigner deported, I need her to balance my accounts for me...but a pot plant would be nice....

Crazy peeps!

Oh wait! The one from yesterday was funny too!

Me talking to my Boss:
Boss: I just feel miserable Amm! I can't wait to get rid of this stupid cold!
Me: You know what you need? A really good hot toddy!!
(Awkward silence for a few seconds then he chuckles)
Boss: I don't think my wife would like that very much!
Me: Ummm...ok...Why?
Boss: What does a "hot toddy" mean to you?
Me: It's a drink with whisky, lemon and honey...
Boss: Huh?!!?
(Me finally catching on..and laughing)
ME: Hot toDDy Nige, not "hot toTTy"...It's a drink ya goof!
Boss: Ohhh!! I though you were saying to go get a nice piece of skirt! I was a little worried!
Me: Nooo...I think just the recipe will do!

Funny enough, I found a Hot Toddy recipe that claims to cure "man flu" lol!

My friend sent me this today. 

We have choral practice in a church and they have a stuffed donkey in the foyer as part of an Easter celebration.( )   Well anyways, the thing is tall and big and has evil eyes.  I walked into the church half asleep tonight and let out a big scream, not realising it was there and thinking it was real, until I realised what it was    

Was it a 'real' stuffed donkey (taxidermy-type)? How bizarre.

Reminds me of one time on holiday in Switzerland and we were strolling around a little town on Lake Luzern. We spotted some men carrying a horse out of a horse box!  Turns out it was a fake one. Apparently there was a wedding on and the couple had arranged to have their photos taken in a horse-and-carriage!!

My team was passing around emails for some team building activites- we are going to do something with a local charity -
We were discussing some gardening activites and I meant to say, I'll have my wellies to the ready, except I wrote I'll have my willies to the ready -
Yeah, I got some great responses to that email........
