Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
I think there's probably a special forum for that sort of thing...

At a family get-together today, the subject of popular cross-breeds of dogs arose. OH asked if that was a cockadoodle 
Obviously; a cross between a cocka spaniel and a poodle! How about a cross between a cocker spaniel and a Labradoodle. Surely that's a cockadoodle. But I don't see the point of such a dog. What could a cockadoodle do?

I have a son who bought a labradoodle. Or at least he thought he did. He subsequently found out it was one half labradoodle and one half full poodle. Only one quarter Labrador. We now call it a labradoodle-oodle-oodle.How about a cross between a cocker spaniel and a Labradoodle. Surely that's a cockadoodle. But I don't see the point of such a dog.

I was involved in a pretty big car crash. Rang the girlfriend at the time and the conversation went like this:
me "Hey, going to be late, I've been in a big car crash (then described what happened)."
gf "OH MY GOD! Did you survive?!"
me "No actually, I'm using my one phone call in the afterlife to call you, just about to go through to see St. Peter now.
I'd foolishly got a lift home from work with a new starter, who had just passed his test and his dad was head cheese of the local merc dealership so had a brand new smart brabus thing. He felt he had to prove something by driving like a total t
t.
Ran out of talent going round a corner at about 50mph I don't even tackle at 20 as there is a T junction just after it. Turned the car in to a pinball, off one curb, hit a central traffic island then coasted across 2 lanes of national speed limit traffic. I could have strangled him. Fairly amusing as he tried to limp it along the hard shoulder, 2 of the wheels were utterly pringled, one came off and the last was wrapped so hard it didn't even spin.
I'll always remember an old friend of mine telling me something his sister said whilst on holiday in Spain

I saw that, same contestant, had never heard of Donna Tart tha Pulitzer -rise winning novelist who has sold an]bout eleventy billion books.
An English teacher? It was a bit odd.
I said the same to my wife, “She teaches English, yet says that she’s never heard of Donna Tartt, a Pulitzer Prize winning American novelist?”An English teacher? It was a bit odd.
Never fear, she had a comeback for that too, “Because English teachers will concentrate on the Classics, not coffee table paperbacks!”
I didn’t get it, she was intelligent enough to say yes when I proposed, yet she put forward way out, incredible excuses for the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire contestant.

As an English Teacher surely it is useful to have some wider knowledge of important books beyond the five on the syllabus....
Anyway, I get it there are lots of authors and on any given day you could be caught out. In fairness to the Teach, she did get that question right ....
Unless it's different now / in other parts of the UK I studied English Literature and English Language at GCSE.

My wife regularly uses the word canapé instead of canopy, and for various reasons, her daily lexicon has regular need for the word "canopy" to be used but her always saying canapé makes me chuckle
Twice in my career I have had customers whose job title is "buyer" but don't know the difference between "bought" and "brought". One would be forgiven for thinking it's a fairly essential thing to understand in that line of work. Tina and Laura, by the way...Enjoying a beer (for me) and cocktail (for Mrs.T66) at Goose Green in Altrincham outside a bar the blazing sun over the weekend.
She looked across at the statue in the middle of the small development and said “we could go and sit near the pelicans statue”.
In the world of Mrs.T66 I suppose there would be some logic in having a statue of pelicans in the middle of, er, Goose Green… but I can’t fathom it.

A cross between a female labrador and a male poodle is a labradoodle.
A cross between a female poodle and a male labrador would be quite the opposite
my neighbour has a dog that was the result of accidentally leaving a male sausage dog in a room with a Labrador b!tch. No funnily named offspring but fair f!ckin do's to the little sod.A cross between a female poodle and a male labrador would be quite the opposite

My exMrs asked me that when we went to Thailand for the first time ... she was pretty well travelled at the time and wasn’t unintelligent so not sure where the question came from really ... good job she was a looker (at the time)Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
