Don proudly drove his shiny new Ferrari to work and parked it in a
public garage. When he returned to the car hours later, there was a
note under the windscreen wiper. His initial apprehension turned to
amusement when he read: “My car was parked next to your car all day.
If any issue results, I would like the pick of the litter.” AUDREY ROMERIT’S A DOG-BEAT-DOG WORLD
Sorry, I wasn’t listening when you
were talking about your dog. I was
busy looking in my phone for a picture
of my superior dog. @primawesomeSHEDDING SOME LIGHT
If the power goes out across the
country, don’t panic. My wife has
enough candles stored away
for everyone. @squirrel4wkgnRELATIVELY SPEAKING
I’m lucky that my wife and mother
are very close. I realised just how
close the time I drove my mother
to her doctor, which my wife
usually does.
When the doctor came into
the room, my own dear mother
introduced me as her “daughter-in-
law’s husband”.
