Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion

Mrs calls downstairs and summons me up to the ensuite with complaint that the pipes are making this strange rhythmic vague thudding noise which gets louder and then fades away, then comes back. Thinks it's when the lavatory cistern is filling.
First thing I tell her is to stop flushing the bloody thing let it fill up and then shut off.
"Ooh noise is still there " she says.
I then walk her to the back of the house to a bedroom window and show her the police helicopter circling across the fields.
I once summoned hotel reception, I couldn't possibly cope with the buzzing noise, they'd have to change my room. First thing I tell her is to stop flushing the bloody thing let it fill up and then shut off.

The receptionist traced the source of the noise to my luggage, twas my electric toothbrush.

As this is “classic from the mrs” that buzzing could have been a lot, lot worse The receptionist traced the source of the noise to my luggage, twas my electric toothbrush.

I was sat on a train yesterday complaining to the ticket inspector about people playing music on their phones around me. Transpires it was me, I had disconnect my AirPods and then accidentally turned the music on (on shuffle) on my phone - whoops! The receptionist traced the source of the noise to my luggage, twas my electric toothbrush.
Oh how we laughed!
I was bang into my electronic music and had this one electronic tune that I had on a mixtape, and didnt know the name of. I stuck the tape in a dictaphone I acquired (Took C90 tapes) and headed off to Clerkenwell with it in my backpack, with every intention of playing it to the worldly record shop type people for identification.
I walked in and explained the situation, and then said 'Hey thats it playing over the speakers'
'What? (Inserts some random indie bands release from last week)'
'Nah cant be this is from the early nineties'
'I assure you it is sir - im playing the vinyl right now'
After much toing and froing, it turned out the play button had activated on the tape machine in my backpack

Are you saying that even though the record shop guy was playing music through his stereo system, all you could hear was your dictaphone in your back pack and all he could hear was his music? Were you wearing headphones?

"It's not rocket surgery" has been said deliberately for years now, as a joke. Same as "does the pope s
t in the woods" or "are bears catholic?".
I like those twisted bear and Pope ones, a Catholic friend of mine used to say, with a completely straight face, if you asked if he wanted a drink, “Does the Pope wear a funny hat?”t in the woods" or "are bears catholic?".My favourite is 'I'll burn that bridge when I get to it'

Conversation in an Italianesque Restaurant last week.
Waiter: (in an accent that suggested English wasn't his first lanquage) Would you like desserts?
Me: yes please, (looking at the menu), What's the cheesecake?
Waiter: Well it's cheese and a cake......
Reminds me of a time with a group in an Auckland restaurant many years ago.Waiter: (in an accent that suggested English wasn't his first lanquage) Would you like desserts?
Me: yes please, (looking at the menu), What's the cheesecake?
Waiter: Well it's cheese and a cake......
Us: and what are the vegetables?
Waitress: Broccoli, carrots, roast potatoes and yaks.
Us: Yaks?
Waitress: Yes. Yaks.
Us: Ummm, we'll have those.
Turns out they were yams.
