I like 24 best as well. Heheh.
#26 had me in stiches, until the other nine were needed.
Ha! #24 is great; I also like #22 and #16.
(Word verification for this comment is 'viasmas' which sounds like a medical condition.)
I noticed both your faves were somewhat dark and smelly. Hmmm. I admit that more than one of these had me make noises and snorts.
Well, I've been having some knee trouble lately, so I liked #6 the best. I wish mine would disappear.
Laughter always is the best medicine!
it's not often that i actually laugh out loud whilst reading but this morning i did. thank you!
and i must concur - when my husband faints, his eyes do indeed roll around the room. so hard to clean the lint off after, you have no idea!
Great Stuff, Lucy! My "favourite" (?) was 17 - the mind boggles and the eyes would definitely water!
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! I so needed to laugh this morning - these are wonderful!
oh I laughed all the way through reading those! Excellent!
There's a nice fantasy to be achieved by imagining most of these things happening to the same female patient. I laugh, but wryly. I made a living out of correcting this sort of stuff but often I was in despair. In some respects being careless about language is as bad as being careless with a car. I apologise for raining on what is otherwise a good-humoured parade.
Oh thank you for that!
An early morning chuckle did methe world of good
