The difference between ignorance and apathy...

 

                                        




Barmy Albert was caught red-handed yesterday morning in the bathroom weighing himself, when Non Stick Nora sauntered in. She declared that she didn’t think that holding his stomach in would make him weigh any less. Albert replied that he was aware of that, but in doing this, he’d be able to read what it says on the scales.



A new, inexperienced waitress said she was concerned about being able to carry the heavy trays and serve from them. A supervisor explained that there were tray stands placed throughout the restaurant.

We were late for an evening out, and I was downstairs, pacing back and forth glancing at my watch, then I yelled upstairs to the missus, "Are you ready yet?"

His request approved, the BBC News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight. He was told a twin engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport. Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go.' The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off. Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot,   'Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.'  'Why?' asked the pilot. 'Because I'm a photographer for BBC News 24,' he responded, 'and I need to get some close-up shots.' The pilot was strangely silent for a moment. Finally he stammered, “So, what you're telling me is ...... You're NOT my flight instructor?”

"No, it's a hickory daiquiri, Doc."

Never mind electric or hybrid vehicles. I have just bought the latest car which runs entirely on ferret’s urine I had a slight disaster yesterday, when I accidentally filled it up with weasel.

 

My forward planning exercise for 2021: Exercise extreme caution in whatever you do. Be curious. Go outside. Go to bed early. Hydrate. Breathe from the epiglottis. Eat happy. Develop a routine that is flexible enough to live with. Be kind to folk. Accept that not everyone will like you, but appreciate those that do. Don’t be defined. Allow for margins of error. Want what you already possess. Shout a resounding YES! To the things that help you live and NO! to the stuff that gets in the way of life.Visit my website: www.ComedianUK.com or email me; comedianuk@sky.com  Now get back to working from home!
