A friend sent me an email the other day that was headed up, '25 Reasons to Not Travel on the Bus.' At least that's what I think it was headed. Anyhou, it was crammed with entertainment - here are a couple of highlights. (Hah, I did that without even thinking). 

Someone who hadn't quite grasped the concept of highlighting? But hey, maybe they liked colouring in. Or just wanted to run out the highlighter before their sister got her hands on it.  

 Isn't Mr Crochet just something else?

And as for Mr Crying Man with two white rabbits, I simply have no words.  Okay maybe that's a lie. I have two. Rabbit casserole.

And Mr Crying Man knows it.

Overhead in Office - the Return.

A number of people were crowded around a computer watching a clip on Facebook of a drummer playing not very well. A colleague asks another colleague (who is a very good musician) what his impression is of the performance.

‘He looks like an ape whose just discovered fire.’

I. Nearly. Choked. 

Enemy of the Neighbourhood.

An observation.

Aren't leaf blowers the most ridiculous invention?

Leaf suckers - I get.

But leaf blowers?

'Excuse me while I blow all our leaves on to your property. Please have a lovely day.'

Overheard in the Office

'There are two things that are the enemy of rock n' roll. Children and sailing.'

Perception

Last weekend my nine year old and eleven year old nieces were staying with their mother.

Eleven: 'In the car on the way up Mummy was asking how we'd describe you to a police officer.' (I chose to not think about that question too deeply).

Me: 'And...?'

Eleven: 'Short....sorry Kate but you are, blonde curly hair and....CRAZY!'

Me: 'Crazy?!'

Eleven: 'Nine said that!'

Some time later I said to Nine: 'So I hear that Mummy asked you guys how you'd explain me to a police officer?'

Nine: 'Yes!'

Me: 'And?'

Nine: 'Short, blonde curly hair that goes down between your top lip and your chin, with mousey ringlets and crazy.'

Me: 'Crazy?!'

Nine: 'Eleven said that!'

I don't know whether to feel proud or short.

Move Over Holden, Lamborghini is in the House.

You know things are going okay in your country when they up-spec the police car fleet to Lamborghinis.

Apparently that's the go in Dubai. I read the article and thought it was an April Fool's joke.

Apparently not. 

However I then read further...only to discover apparently so. 

It wasn't an April Fool's joke but that a Lamborghini police car had featured in a recently made film shot in Dubai.

So, story not as good as it started out but, regardless, you're always going to liven up a sentence when it contains the words 'police car' AND 'Lamborghini'.  

Mental Note to Self....

After indulging in a merry spot of Easter bag snatching, when you making your getaway, best make sure the glass door is open.

I'm picking that man will be suffering from more than a sugar low this morning.
