I heard a fantastic put down this morning.
I was out delivering some schedules for our flower show when a met up with Mr Jenkins ( not his real name), who was out walking to collect his newspaper
We chatted for a while about this and that and then idly watched as a lady from the village passed in her car .
The normally polite Mr Jenkins looked at the woman with slightly slitted eyes and with a surprisingly deadpan delivery said
"That woman looks like a baboon in a babygrow!"
I have giggled about it all the way home
And did she look like a baboon in a babygrow?
ReplyDeleteyes!
ReplyDeleteI 'spect she was a big girl in floppy clothing ?
ReplyDeleteIt's hard not to choose comfort over fashion ;)

ReplyDeleteSeem to remember a great line in Steel Magnolias delivered by either Shirley Mc Claine or Olympia Du carciss ( sorry about spellings ) Shall have to watch the film again to get the quote right.
