News Flash!
I am no longer funny!
If ever I were. And now may have to stop this silly thing-whatever-it-is.
Those waiting for any elaboration upon the subject of the dreadful ‘J’ may have to wait FOREVER!
Today.
I am At Work.
As I take my job very seriously, I am reading the local newspaper. As are several of my colleagues. There is a news item regarding a very pleasant – by all accounts, and there are lots of them – local man who had tried to prevent some youths from being a terrible nuisance on his street and who had been killed to death for his trouble.
My local paper is filled with such tales.
I read it, and can only think that the sub-editors have let themselves down.
The front-page headline on the subject reads ‘Death of Mr. Nice Guy’.
It could have been better, I think.
How, ask my colleagues. What would be the more effective headline?
Me: ‘No More Mr. Nice Guy’.
Absolutely nobody laughs.
Many look horrified.
I quit.

I would have. And I would have given you a huge hug!
Bloody brilliant! Write to the silly newspaper people immediately!
:0) I think you're funny
I'm not sure if I would have laughed or started singing.
However, for everyone's sake, I would hope for the laughter.
Sir, you are a giant among dwarves.
hehehehe u r 2 td
And you are using your work colleagues as a barometer? These are the people who think it's funny to throw man-gunk in a girl's face and shout "Monkey face"?
I agree with Windy...you are 9 feet tall, they are all about 2'7".
I laughed out loud.
This may be a worry as I hadn't even read it yet.
I am particularly friendly with a Sicilian at work.
You will continue please.
Thank you.
...also Clarissa wants to hug you and, possibly, things. She may be devastatingly attractive and want your babies.
She may not but it will play on your mind.
Continue.
I have rung the Sicilian and he likes you. For now.
I am.
C: If only you'd been there.
P: Welcome! I can't, the damage is done.
A: Aww. Thanks.
W: Welcome also. And I'm sure you have a lovely singing voice.
Windy: You're very kind.
Pups: Eh?
Missy: Ah. Yes. You may have a point.
Angels: You are giving me a big head.
Dinners: Hi. My Corsican mates will own your Sicilian.
Dinners again: Don't be daft. As if.
C: Oh. Is it possible to have sexual tension on a comments-thing of a silly blog? If so we've just invented something.
C: Erm. Just devastatingly attractive or the babies thing too? Just out of interest you understand.
uhhhhhhhhhhh , you sir, Tired Dad, are extremelly humourous...bettah now dude?
FUCK ME!
LOOK EVERYONE!
THIS IS ME ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDING THE AMERICAN PUP-GUY!
I get you every time. Hope things are as well as they can be. Why aren't you writing?
Personally I thought it was a rather genius headline you came up with.
I laughed. You're funny. Don't give up. Simon Pegg may call any day now! How cool would that be?
you're funny enough..
we sad souls need to get our funny on..
so get skippy darlin..
You were right. They were wrong. You are funny. They are twats (but we know that anyway).
I'm still laughing
Tired and Clarissa. A match made in bed.
or the kitchen.
or the bathroom.
or the stairs.
What does 'get skippy' mean?
Clarissa is a Kangeroo?
This may get interesting. Different but interesting.
Be gentle Clarissa. He's a tortured soul.....
I am not a Kangaroo.
Dauntingly attractive. No babies, please.
x, c
p.s. Apologies for the tension if it has made anyone uncomfortable.
2 many pills make braIN STOP TALKIN 2 ME TD
That suggestion you made was absolutely disgusting, and utterly inappropriate.
DO GO ON.
Balls to them. Clearly not partial to a good Alice Cooper-led gag.
It made me grin.
So it's agreed. You're officially funny.
Now about J?
Sychophantic drivel. Tired, Tired.
I laughed. All my friends would have laughed.
I'm just linking to you on my new Wordpress URL, so you HAVE to keep writing! We are all counting on you.
I wish you posted more often, so I couldn't laugh my ass off more often. You work with stranger people than I do.
hello?
you have a coronary?
