Daily chuckles

I just ran into the MD of the company.
Conversation went as follows

Me "Good morning"
Him "Good morning. How are you?"
Me "Good.  How are you?"
Him "Good, I've just come downstairs to check on how the elves and penguins are doing"

I think he fancies himself as Santa Claus.    

Oh! Nevermind,it all makes sense now!!  HR was all dressed up as elves and penguins, selling Christmas goodies, singing Christmas carols and taking festive photos - all for charity.  Lovely!!!   

Today I was cooking and I looked over to see Abby in the hallway with one hand over her eyes and the other hand reaching for the bowl with the candy in it. I think she thought that because she couldn't see me, I couldn't see her. So I crept up close to her just as she went to have a little peek at me and found me right next to her. She was startled at first but then gave me a cheeky little smile before grabbing the candy and running away.

I was laughing too hard to tell her off so I just shouted at her to share with her sister.

Penguins? What happened to reindeer? 

This makes me want to laugh and weep at the same time...

At first I thought it was! But her other pieces are about killing Bambi and Obama the Socialist, so nope, she's deadly serious.

 

Trainspotter whistling Jersualem - I'm finding it endlessly amusing - I'm not in Scotland anymore!

So we've been buying cheap beer (in a 2 liter jug) for setting slug traps - and it works! (Upon star gardener PB's advice!)

We've run out of beer for the little beggars & I told DH yesterday that I was embarrassed to go to the store & buy a 2 liter bottle of beer not-fit-for-human-consumption just by itself (I didn't need anything else).

He said - don't worry, I don't think anyone will judge you. And if they give you a funny look, you can tell them it's for the slugs.

HA!!  We all know why you're really buying it  

I'm having to buy it myself these days, so I know whatchya mean... 

Looking at popcorn makers on Amazon and one review says you need a 'heat resistant bowel'.     

Pretty sure he meant bowl.     hehehehe

If you're a curry fan, having a heat resistant bowel could be handy.

hahahahaha! 

I knew there was a good joke in there but it was one of those situations where you post something that you KNOW is funny but you don't think of the funny joke/comeback until later. 

I'll say that my house is in desperate need of a clearout! This morning, I was sorting through a box of crap that had been shoved into the cupboard under the stairs since we moved into this house (eight years ago). And it contained a calendar/diary book that I used in 1997! 

So that book moved with me from Kansas to Florida in 1997, and it moved over to England with me in 2004, to end up shoved into a box of stuff that lives in the cupboard under the stairs. 

I think I saved it for one small piece of information - what still might come in useful to me for something in dealing with some old records - so I've finally torn out that little piece of a page & thrown the rest away. Go me!
