| Spot the sparrow |
Juno's friend, let's call her Artemis, was whisked away on holiday to the Canary Islands by her husband after getting her eyes lasered. She was feeling a bit tender and sorry for herself, but was soon thrilled by the brilliance of the local bird life, and she took to sitting on her balcony watching their brightly coloured flashes whizzing past.
One morning she was particularly taken by a little yellow bird that darted back and forward a couple of times as she sat reading.
There it was again!
She called to her husband, 'Come and see this - I think it's a proper canary, IN THE CANARY ISLANDS'
Eventually her hubby struggled out from the shower with his towel around him and Artemis exclaimed her excitement at seeing a WILD canary in the Canary islands...
'Look, there it is again!' she squeaked as it zoomed past.
Her husband walked to the edge of the balcony clutching his towel and surveyed the hotel grounds beneath their accomodation.
'For God's sakes Artemis, get your specs back on. That's a yellow TENNIS BALL you're looking at!'
Made me laugh! :-)
That's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI rember my Mom exclaiming that the field we had just passed in the car was full of large mushrooms and that we should stop and pick them. My dad, without blinking, calmly explained that they were in fact sheep, and that sheep rustling was still punishable by death.
Wally - that's brilliant!!!! But you folks from the North East - sheep rustling's in your BLOOD!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI'm a bit sad he told her. He could just have humoured her!
I missed out all the expletives that he used - as I'm still trying to cut down on the profanity :-) The swearing was VERY amusing as my mother rarely swears and tends to put the full 'ing' on the end lol!
