CARTOON: MIROSLAV BARTÁKAS I WAS ENJOYING A MEAL at my
local Chinese restaurant the other
day, I couldn’t escape the feeling that
I was being watched.
Suddenly, a beak and two small
beady eyes emerged from behind the
curtain opposite my table. Alarmed, I
called the waiter.

MY 9-YEAR-OLD SON WAS UPSET
that he was not allowed to watch The
Walking Dead on telly. Trying to get
us to change our mind he
commented that his schoolteacher
had told him about Jesus' corpse
being placed in a tomb, then rising
again three days later.
“She doesn't think I'm too young to
know about zombies” he reasoned.
CORRINE HARDY, Denbighshire
WHILE ON HOLIDAY, I booked my
car into a park-and-ride facility near
the airport. On our return, we were
picked up by a courtesy bus and
taken to the parking area. It was very
late at night and when I went to
collect my car keys the man on duty
asked my age.
I was taken aback and demanded
to know why he wanted to know, to
which he gave an exasperated sigh
and said, “Your Reg! Your car
registration please.”
