Today's humourous telephone call

Just got a telephone call. "Hi, I'm Debbie from Citibank. Do you have a few moments?" Me: "Well, only a very few." (I have to check in to my BA flight online in a few minutes when it becomes available.)

Debbie: "Could you confirm your postcode for me, please?"

Me, suspiciously: "Is this a survey?"

Debbie: "No, it's only a few questions. A survey is when you ask a lot of questions."

Me, laughing: "I worked in market research for many years, and that is a survey. I don't have enough time at the moment. Good-bye."

Debbie: "Good bye" (hangs up)

Today's Gift Idea URL

Gawd only knows why one would need such a thing, but how could you resist this product? Every home should have at least one.

I wonder what they make it out of.

Perhaps better left unknown, I suppose.

Update: I just noticed, in checking the link, that the bottle is marked "For external use only". No shit, Sherlock!

Today's Political Clip URL

There have been jokes about Presidents screwing the country for decades. Now there's a new twist. Definitely NSFW!! But hilarious.

Thanks to The Big Mattress, Charles Laquidara's blog, for this one. I remember him from WBCN when I was knee-high to King Kong, years and years ago.
