    My cat is cross with me as I've been putting Non Stinky Stuff on her tummy - she has a dry itchy skin condition. Anyone would think I'm trying to hurt her the way she's carrying on. Every time she sees me she runs off :rotfl:
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    I once went to work wearing one navy and one black holdup. It was around 4 o’clock when a male colleague asked if I wore stockings. When I looked at him a bit quizzically, he said that it had taken him all day to figure out how my legs were different colours

    As one of life's mildly obsessive laundry counters my DS used to deliberately wear odd socks to try and confuse me. Not obvious things like a blue one and a yellow one, more a walking sock and a white sports sock. He never went commando to confuse me on lack of underpants though... :rotfl: - they were always under the bed.
