What did you see today that made you laugh?


Recommended Posts

Our exchange daughter is here with her family.  They went shopping for clothes....Came home and threw all their clothes in the rubbish bin and went out and bought all new clothes to take home.....Made me laugh, because they said the clothes are so cheap here they can buy all new for less than half what they pay in England....seems odd to me....plus crazy about Levis'.......cheap here I guess.......ahhhh maybe old Ben is on to something....????? huh Ben??  oh I remember Tris the hobbit knew about it too... ;)

Not only cheaper but better quality too.  What pleased me is that the US stores sell for different sizes and shapes and by that I mean long, short, thin and fat i.e Petite for the slim 5' 2", Misses for the plumper 5' 2" etc.  Some UK shops have Petite but only a few; the majority sell standard sizes without any consideration for different height and shape. 

When I went on my marathon trip I left home with a suitcase half empty as I planned to hit the shopping malls (which I did!)

I was travelling light as I was going to ride the trains from Washington DC to California and back again so it was a case of ONE suitcase as two would have been impossible to handle.  Not that I should have worried I never handled it at any time during my holiday except on my return to Heathrow where I had to wrestle it off the carousel.

The madness at the supermarket at 7am this morning, carpark packed solid, every isle you could hardly get down, panic buying of loo rolls and ques at the tills longer than a conga line at the local nightclub :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Andover too.  I went into the town to go to the bank.  Loads of parking spaces in the town car parks and not that many people either but on moving on to a supermarket I was driving in circles looking for a space.  I did find one, eventually.  The odd thing was that there did not appear to be enough shoppers inside to account for the number of cars in the car park!

we have a new person started in our office and we were chatting away about things and we got onto hobbies.

I said I collect models, he replied with 'models, what kind of models?'

I replied with ' the 6 foot, top heavy, blonde kind'

the look on his face was priceless and confused. I just laughed and said not really, farm models!.

Sat tucking into the main meal today when one of the cats appeared in the cat flap with a mouse in her mouth , this turns out to be very alive as we find out when the cat drops it and it proceeds to make a break for freedom squealing on the way across the room cat in hot pursuit. 3 lady's darting in various directions one screaming and 3 blokes franticly trying to catch said mouse before the cat does , took 10 mins and we found it in the front room cornered under the seat , one ice cream tub capture later the meal restarts, wish we bought a dog at times :laugh:

The bloke who smashed into our field through 25 metre's of wall, in a transit van. he was just a bit shook up, although he was very lucky not to be badly injured or even worse. His van was written off completely so look's like an insurance claim on his insurance...expensive one too! He went along the wall for a fair way then ground to a hault just inches from a telegraph pole. we went up to pull him out in our Massey Ferguson 2640 which was good fun ;D ;D ::) ::)::):police:
