Comment of the Day/Week

[DTCwordfan]

reading the mrs O threads ré in-laws (mothers and daughters) and remembering a comment a friend made.... it triggered me to bring this one up for some light amusement.

I have enoyed these two comments this week:

Over one of our local publicans who used to have a gorgeous gf and now has a piece of "goodness knows what" as a bf, one of the pub crew said, "well, it looks as if he is truly bi." To which our pub chef ( a woman and not the same hostelry) commented "At least he gets double the pleasure."

No 2 - we were sitting there at breakfast today in a Truro café, a friend's father admitting he had had a small row at check-out with her mother in Sainsburys, nothing too serious mind you. She is a lawyer and responded,
"Mum, next time he (Dad) speaks to you like that, just tell him in a loud voice so the staff can hear, "How dare you speak like that to a woman who is terminally ill!"

What are your favourites that you have overheard or been involved in?

One of my favourites is related to No 1. Overheard a young woman saying angrily to a young man, 'Well at least bisexuality will increase your chance of getting laid!' Can't argue with that.

So shattered don`t know if this fits DT but here goes.
OH was twelve years older than me,prematurely grey and looked a bit older than his years. When we were first married I looked younger than I was. [Oh, those were the days]. He decided he wanted a new jacket so we set off for a little town which had much more up-market shops than our town. In a posh gent`s outfitters OH tried on every jacket, chose one and asked if I liked it. I said I did.
"There you are sir." said the pompous,leery little salesman. "If your daughter likes it your wife is sure to."
Smiling coquettishly and with wide open eyes I replied, "I`m not his daughter. I`m his mistress and his wife will hate the jacket."
OH was over the bridge and in the car park before I had picked up my handbag.

OH is younger than me - when he first starting coming to stay, a neighbour who I don't know well commented how nice it was that my son visited me regularly :-D

We had an electrician in and at the same time a friend of mine called to visit. She is 5 years younger than me. After she'd gone, the electrician started a conversation.
Electrician:" Was that your daughter?"
Me: <<<<<hard stare>>>>>>
Electrician:"Oh, it can't have been. Silly me. She had a Glasgow accent"

I then had a harsh word with him and gave him the advice that when in a hole, stop digging.
He didn't get another cup of tea that day.

I was at the market in Beijing with my Glaswegian colleague who was a proud Scotsman. While he was haggling over prices for some pashminas (for ages) the shop girl asked us where we come from. I said I come from England. He said he came from Scotland. The girl wasn`t too sure where Scotland was and had to think about it for a moment. Then she said "Ah, Scotlan, where man wear dress"!

well its the truth SJ and nice one, Mrs O......

My OH is only a few years older than me, but as he's, shall we say, a little on the chunky side, he looks quite a lot older and on two separate occasions people in shops have referred to him as my Dad!!! He goes ballisitic, but of course I don't let him forget it - keeps him on his toes!
