SEX AND DRUGS AND SAUSAGE ROLLS.

I hate ironic T-shirts as well, especially that "I'm Not Gay (But My Boyfriend Is)" one? I wish my girlfriend wouldn't wear that when we're out in public.

Laughing out loud

Slogan T Shirts are my pet hate. I hate people that wear them.

No, Nils, no.

I don't have a mug at work, I just grab whatever's free. Today's is commendably dull, saying "Royal London Asset Management". With no funny cartoons.

It's a subtle gag. But I like it!

Yep and unfunny people who start stories over confidently with the statment "This'll make you laugh". They should be forced to recompense me for my time if, as is usually the case, the most I can manage is a pathetic smile of politeness when they appear to have stopped.

Maybe it's my own fault for encouraging them - next time I'll give a cutting 'critique style' critique of their joke or 'funny' story.

Well, I'm looking at my coffee mugs. I have a breast cancer awareness one that says "Save second base!" on one side and "Give the girls a squeeze!" on the other. That one mortifies my mother. My other favourite mug says, "What's in your f**king mug, tea?!? Pansy!"

I think you can get away with anything as long as you don't try too hard or copycating someone else who is naturally funny. I find copycatting FAR more annoying than claiming to be "wacky". Copycats need dealing with. You know what I mean. Stealing jokes overheard, doing mad things because the funny one in the office would probably do it, quoting TV characters all the time....ARRRRRGH!

I like pretty much any inanimate object which abuses me.

Yes, but isn't Kenneth a woman's name in Australia?

I think one of the worst ones was "Now I don't believe you wanted to do that!", because it was most often used by blokes who, whilst accepting that they were quoting a comedy catchphrase, often actually meant it, because they were all-too-much like the 'Only Me!' character in the first place.

They do need to be dealt with. Much like the people who 'Do' all the funny bits from a comedy show the morning after it's been on. And laugh just as much at their own version.

Putting in epidurals for a living, you end up seeing a lot of women's lower backs. So many have tattoos down there thesedays. The best one I've seen was a (quite respectable looking woman) who had the words "Tradesman's Entrance" with an arrow pointing downwards.

You can sit next to me and my "I'm with this idiot>" t-shirt. :D
