    Two nuns in a bath.
    The first one says "Where's the soap";
    the second one replies "Yes it does, doesn't it"

    I had to think about that one!

    Maybe I shouldn't confess that I got that one straight away.
    In my defence, I had heard it before!

    Even scarier is the prospect of having no more MRI when we run out of helium (which some people predict will be in ~50 years). At least helium used for getting stuff very cold is all collected and recycled, but why are we wasting it in balloons that allow it to escape into the atmosphere and from there to float to the top and off into space??



    Can't be bothered with hand cream. Prefer a moisturising liquid soap so hands don't get cracked and dry without having to find the time to put cream on them.

    Maybe its a lifestyle thing too? I use hand cream when I haven't just washed my hands too. Particularly in winter when out in the cold, or when gardening a lot, or walking the dogs On leads without gloves more than usual. I know when I'm neglecting it. I also get sore joints, massaging them helps a bit, interestingly, one of the places my body worker can never get to relax fully is my hands ( this very poor from a horsemanship pov) and jokingly calls me claw. :o. Fir confirms I ball my hands up in bed and asleep too. Not into fists, but into a curled position.

    When I put hand cream on I'm sometimes just quickly doing hand cream, sometimes take longer but also working out those tighter soft tissues, and also working on my joints, particularly the two finger joints already showing deviation. :mad:

    This is much funnier than "where's the soap"

    Abbott: Oh, I'll tell you their names, but you know it seems to me they give these ball players now-a-days very peculiar names.
    Costello: You mean funny names?
    Abbott: Well, let's see, we have on the bags, Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third...
    Costello: That's what I want to find out.
    Abbott: I say Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third.
    Costello: Are you the manager?
    Abbott: Yes.
    Costello: You gonna be the coach too?
    Abbott: Yes.
    Costello: And you don't know the fellows' names?
    Abbott: Well I should.
    Costello: Well then who's on first?
    Abbott: Yes.
    Costello: I mean the fellow's name.
    Abbott: Who.
    Costello: The guy on first.
    Abbott: Who.
    Costello: The first baseman.
    Abbott: Who.
    Costello: The guy playing...
    Abbott: Who is on first!
    Costello: I'm asking YOU who's on first.
    Abbott: That's the man's name.
    Costello: That's who's name?
    Abbott: Yes.
    Costello: Well go ahead and tell me.
    Abbott: That's it.
    Costello: That's who?
    Abbott: Yes.


    Costello: Look, you gotta first baseman?
    Abbott: Certainly.
    Costello: Who's playing first?
    Abbott: That's right.
    Costello: When you pay off the first baseman every month, who gets the money?
    Abbott: Every dollar of it.
    Costello: All I'm trying to find out is the fellow's name on first base.
    Abbott: Who.
    Costello: The guy that gets...
    Abbott: That's it.


    .............comtinues for hours :eek:.

    Oh dear, thinking that cleanliness implies poshness pushes you several rungs down the class ladder....

    It's in the posh test. I don't have an opinion on the poshness of soap, just don't like bar soap.
