Posted on April 20, 2016 By admin

So, remember a couple of weeks ago when I wrote about a one-sided bathroom conversation? It happened again.

God, if you can’t even do this…

Same voice. Same problem. Poor bugger.

Quote of the day

Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.
--(Terry Pratchett, Hogfather)
