Joke
"There was confusion tonight at the odean cinema at workingdon where Alma Tibbs the senior usherette accidently sat on her torch and showed herself up in the circle."
I don't get it... I'm dense tonight (maybe always?)... I've even visualized sitting on a damned flashlight and thinking about the results.... but, with my fat ass, it just doesn't come through. (the light? the joke?,,, heck both).... Anyway... internet sucks up here in northern Maine, but I'm reading you blog... just can't comment very often.
Perhaps the expression 'now don't go showing yourself/me up is a particularly British one. I seem to remember hearing it quite a lot from my anxious mother. Usually in snooty social situations. Time for some sleep methinks Johnx
You must have had another bad day.
ReplyDeleteJust a long one Thomas...just a long one

ReplyDeleteI'm utterly shocked! - though I do wonder if the torch batteries were Duracell, Eveready or Energizer.

ReplyDeleteMade ME laugh! Go on then, remind me who the actress is I can't bring her name to mind.
ReplyDeleteBad joke .... it must have been a bad day (or night).

"you light up my life!"
"won't you shine out the light of philadelphia freedom!"
