People often ask me, "Richard, where did you get your sophisticated sense of humour?"
I believe the following snippet from a post card I received this morning from my mum, who is on holiday with my dad and sister, goes some way to answering that question:
Greetings from Anglesey again. Weather not too bad, lots of wind, especially from Gill's direction.
That's my mum!
(I'm her favourite child, you know.)
The other day I was helping my wife hang out the washing:-
I commented that I had never noticed before that her underwear was labelled so that she didn't put them on back to front. After she stopped laughing, she told me that C & A was just the name of the shop!
....but the sign outside says '59 minute cleaners'...that's just the name of the shop, dearie, we take 3 weeks...that is, of course, if there's an 'r' in the month, otherwise it's 4 weeks.......
