Carpet versus floorboards, again

Brian (late husband) said no gentleman would wear anything except a self tie tie.

Quite so.

Well, if I know men (and I think I probably do) it was bound to have been Adam's idea.

A: "Come on, Eve love, strip off. Everybody's doing it."

E: "Everybody? What's everybody?"

Elfin Safety does work.

When did you last come across an injured Elf?

My favourites - I once spent half an hour trying to convince the very nice lady from Southampton City Council that the forklift truck service report that said the tyres were "worn but serviceable" did not mean that we had to replace the tyres straight away. I pointed out that the previous 4 years worth of reports said the same thing and the tyres had not been changed but she still didn't get it.

In the end I asked her if she had fitted brand new tyres to her car that morning. She hadn't, so I pointed out that they must be worn - toi which her reply was "Yes, but they're perfectly safe" - at which point the meaning of "worn but serviceable" finally dawned on her. The fact her business card had "Environmental Protection Officer" crossed out and her new job title hand-written in said it all.

I bought a knife from Screwfix this week which, in large letters on the box it came in, says "Caution - Knives are designed to be sharp". :roll:
