How it works is right!

Have just discovered this blog.
Absolutely. Classic. Cartoons.
Check it out.
And while I’m recommending favourites… here’s my favourite podcast. The Weekly Ryan.
I discovered Gerry Ryan (yes me - I discovered him - previously nobody knew he existed. Okay obviously I didn’t discover him…) in late 2006 when we went on a driving trip around Ireland. Groover and I actually changed our itinerary - getting up a bit earlier so we could be in the car when his show was on. Disappointed when it was the weekend. Devastated on our last day when he was away sick (in fact it turned out he was in hospital!). Delighted when we discovered his podcast.
We are absolutely addicted.
I’m also getting into Susan Maushart’s podcast Multiple Choice. I loved her piece on those wretched automated answering service thingys corporations are so fond of at the moment. You might know Susan’s columns in the Weekend Australian.
Dad jokes - you gotta love them

Man walks into a shop.
“Hi. Do you have any sirloin steak?”
“No sir.”
“What about fillet?”
“No.”
“Hmmm okay, could I have some lamb chops then please?”
“Sorry, don’t have any lamb chops.”
“What? No steak and no chops! Call yourself a butcher?!”
“No sir. We’re the optometrists. The butcher is next door.”
When next you meet a lawyer…

Scene: You’re in a bar with a self assured bloke who is clearly hitting on you…
You: So what do you do?
Him: I’m a barrister.
You: Mmmm really?! I love coffee!! (batting eyelids)
My favourite joke
July 29, 2007
Went to a great party last night. A 40th. Loads of people dressed in cowboy outfits, the children made the cocktails (I was driving so no, didn’t have any of those) and there was country music (ah well).
This morning my hair smells like woodsmoke.
I saw my first flatmate - we shared a unit in Bunbury - and I haven’t seen her since about 1990. She’s exactly how I remember her - with slightly shorter hair.
Anyway I got the opportunity to tell my favourite joke so I thought I’d share it with you too… aren’t you lucky?
Why did Chris de Burgh cross the road?
To get to the middle of course!
Hehehe… LOL… ROFPMP!

Loved this post by Beatnic.
A ten year old child genius in conversation with a Professor of Philosophy:
Professor: “If you had to lose only one, would it be logic or emotion?”
Child genius (without hesitation): “Emotion, because then I wouldn’t feel unhappy.”
Professor: “Ah, but you wouldn’t feel happy either.”
Child genius: “Yes, but I wouldn’t care.”
A side point: Manic-depressives sometimes choose not to take their medicine because while it stops them being depressed, it also stops the incredible highs…
If only I’d been so clever…
