A couple drove down a country road for several miles,
not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument
and neither of
them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules,
goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied , "in-laws."
*sigh* when am i going to master the ability for responses like that, quick on the draw?
Paul Heelas emailed me to ask what happened to me. That's a good sign i think, that he's quite excited to work with me. I hope that translates to some cash $$$ incentive! The UK is bloody expensive. Think i have to import maggie mee if i go over.
Have a meeting with Saroja and gang later. Zzzzzz. At the least the evening is looking up. But then again, I've never really appreciated watching plays that were in Mandarin or some other chinese language and I had to read the subtitles at the side. It was bad enough when i was sitting in the front row of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and had to move my head right to left when the characters were swinging from the right to left of the panoramic widescreen, all while reading the subtitles from left to right. I think i mastered the art of reading subtitiles backwards to be more efficient, if anything.
