Actually, todays entry doesn’t involve me at all. It is simply a tale from the day, a daytale if you will (or won’t, not up to you is it. Fool).

A “certain esteemed collegue” of mine was beavering away on a till earlier, quite enjoying himself. Man appears at counter to return a mirror. Pretty simple you may think, but then you are expecting something silly to happen, and happen it did. You see, my collegue sometimes gets himself in situations which he doesn’t mean to, see last Friday’s incident involving half undressed me, the condoms and our sales manager.! So man says “he doesn’t want the mirror” because it “is not an appropriate gift says the wife.” “Did she whinge about it.?” asks my good buddy. “No, just she has had brain surgery and can’t use it properly.”

Can you feel the cringing that occured there. Even I felt it when the story was passed on. We both know it wasn’t his fault, he didn’t know, but that is the thing about comedy, it may not seem funny at that precise moment, but later on, the amusement surfaces…

Just remember, Pain + Time = Laughter.
