    This is slightly different...but quite entertaining after all...

    Many years ago, I did some temping at a building firm. It was a huge contract and the block layers were well behind target and set to cost the company a lot of money if the development was delayed. I had to ring the MD of the block company and tell them.

    Well...I rang them and said "that unless all BLOKES were laid by a certain date then his company would be fined!"

    I was young at the time and guess what was on my mind....!!!

    Oh priceless, I used to work in a solicitors office, when I asked what I did for a job I answered .................. work that one out ............ cos like a goodun I said it :rotfl:

  • my dd who is 3 and a half, hates me going out to work as i do evenings, so i tell her i have to, to earn lots of pennies so she can have nice things.
    well today she was out shopping with me today and picked up some hideous ornament and asked for me to buy it! i told her as i always do that "mummy didnt have enough pennies so i can't" to which she replied (all quickly and big blue eyed!) " well mummy better work a bit harder so we can have more pennies to buy it!" :eek: couldn't decide whether i should strangle her or laugh at her ( did that latter btw:D)! That told me didn't it!

    I have my own oven cleaning business and one day I called to clean quite a dirty oven of a vicar. The vicar's wife went out and left me to it. When I had finished I called the vicar to say I was done and show him the 'as new' oven that had resulted from my clean.

    He put his hands together, looked up and said "and I thought it was only the good lord that could perform miracles like that". I was hysterical - really cheered me up!!
    When you were born, you were crying and everyone around was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying! :rotfl:

    :rotfl: My sister and her DH went for a pub lunch and took their toddler with them, general hustle and bustle and then the little darling looked around stood on his chair and shouted 'can we have a bit of hush I'm trying to eat my dinner!'- wonder where he'd heard that one before?

    My bro and family who live abroad had come to stay in the UK one Christmas. They stayed in a posh hotel with connecting rooms (my 3 nephews in one room, my bro and wife in the other with the door open between the two). Anyway, my youngest nephew calmly, but loudly announced to the whole hotel restaurant that he'd heard daddy fart in the night! The whole place fell silent and everyone turned and stared. Poor bro, was mortified!

    When DD was about 4 - she's now 12 BTW, we went to a pub in Worcestershire for a lunchtime treat - she spotted a bloke with glasses on but they had those 'sunshades' clipped over the top, due to the fact we were now inside the pub he had lifted them up - so she SHOUTED at the top of her voice

    "mommy why does that man look like Mickey Mouse" ever wished the ground would open up ?
