Overheard yesterday in the Olde Naked Man Cafe in Settle:

"Chickens are such stupid animals, they should be re-classified as vegetables!"

Shurely caphetarium is the Latin?

Two women chatting outside a primary school earlier on:

"Well I was skinny, SKINNY, until I had HIM!!!" - pointing a waving finger down at the five-year-old she had gripped by the other hand, poor little chap.

I was at the ATM in West Norwood just now, and remarked to the lady next in the queue on how slow this particular machine seemed to be. And she answered with a straight face, "I was thinking that! I understand some of these banks are taking on people with learning disabilities!"

" . . . taking on people with learning disabilities!", Well, there seems to have been a policy of appointing people with very poor fiscal learning skills as CEOs of big banks.

Maybe she really meant that - it hadn't occurred to me!! People around here have very droll senses of humour.
