Things that make you laugh. Page 3

I just watched the boxset of Two Pints of Lager.
I had two laughs

I had to laugh at a bloke doing the most awful job ever of chatting up two women next to us at drinks the other week. He was listing his more and more ridiculous list of current girlfriends that obviously he could be with at that very moment if he hadn't deigned to chat up these women, and seemed surprised the women weren't fawning over him. I had to hide my face when I started crying with laughter after he produced his ultimate chat-up line, 'Yeah, I have boyfriends too. The last one was gorgeous. He's dead now.'

That was absolutely brilliant. He was such a douche!

I always laugh at being shortchanged at shops.
because the people at the till always smile like it's a joke.
Which it is.
You either can't add up, or are trying to con me.
Both of which make me laugh.

I had the opposite problem when I visted the UK. Many of the shop assistants thought I was trying to short cahnge them. Our smallest demonation is 5 cents, so the total will always end in a 5 or 0 if paying cash. Several times I went to pay for something and gave them a few pennys less than I should. I sometimes got a nice little surprise when I got change back when I'd done the opposite and rounded up.

:D That was also brilliantly awful. I managed not to laugh in his face but I did indeed have to laugh

Was it, in fact, sooty?

Zooo as you well know my chat up line is.

"Whats got 2 thumbs and likes blowjobs?"
"I don't know either but do you want to look it up on Wikipedia at the library with me?"

:D

So Shandonbelle is a trip to the library in order?

Mines run by volunteers so it's a little racist.

Racist but intimate.

Like a sexy Jim Davidson, except its a library.

Only if I can have a go of your rubber stamper...you do still have one of those don't you?

Charles.

YOU WOULD RATHER BE WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE THAN SOMEONE YOU DON'T LOVE BUT IS A BIT PRETTIER? YOU MADMAN...

Etc.

And let's be honest about it, not a lot prettier, mostly just younger and better groomed. It would be more informative to compare their looks at similar ages. If Diana had lived she would now be looking like Tony Adams in a dress.

It's taken me about 6 weeks to decorate my bedroom ( I'm good but you wouldn't want to pay me by the hour).

I was just about to put the last piece up when the carpet shop rang to say they could come immediately to fit our new carpet ( which wasn't due for about 10 days).

It was a bit like 60 minute makeover as I rushed to finish and clear all my stuff away.

The carpet fitter turned up wearing canvas shoes which had worn away exposing both big toes. He had to wait for a colleague to turn up to help him.

I helped them up the stairs with it and I heard peep-toe telling his mate to be careful as he didn't want to mark the new wallpaper. He finished quite quick and didn't hang around.

I went up to look at. His handiwork which was excellent in terms of the carpet fitting. I did however notice 3 areas where the carpet has scraped the wallpaper.

I had to laugh!
