» Encounters with Royalty
While in hospital
my brother was told that Prince Charles would be visiting his ward on some kind of royal visit thing.
On the same day, he was scheduled to give a sperm sample for possible future use, as he was about to undergo chemotherapy which would likely make him sterile.
When my mum phoned him at lunchtime she asked, "How are you today?"
"Great!" he replied, "I had a wank and met a prince."
"Well I hope you washed your hands," she said.

» Road Rage
A few years back
a friend of mine was giving me a lift home, sometime after midnight.
Near to my house was a chap and his girlfriend standing by the side of the road, their car immobile. The chap waved at us to stop.
"Can you possibly tow me to a petrol station? I have a rope in the back of my car..."
Now my mate didn't really want to do this, but he is a thoroughly nice chap who wouldn't want to leave somebody else in need, so he agreed.
The journey to the petrol station wasn't all that smooth - my friend was a pretty inexperienced driver at the time and his first towing experience was a bit jerky, but we got to the garage.
"Thanks very much," said the other bloke, "...but when you are towing a car and it starts to jerk like that, you should blah blah..." he then proceeded to give my friend a patronising lecture on how to tow a car properly. This annoyed me greatly.
I replied, "See when that red light in the fuel guage comes on, that means you should fill the car with petrol."

» Stupid Colleagues
Many years ago while working a temp job for the DSS
one of my fellow workers had a book in his hand as he arrived in the morning. One of those huge, oversized american horror-writer type books.
"Woah - that's a big book," exclaims one of the duller chaps in the office, "Have you read the whole thing?"
- "Well, no - I am about three quarters of the way through. I just read a bit on the bus every day."
"But, it's so big. How can you remember all the stuff from the beginning by the time you get to the end??"

» Best Comebacks
I am absolutely rubbish as quick, witty comebacks.
I guarantee I will think of the perfect thing to say abut two days after this particular question of the week is closed.

» Worst Record Ever
I borrow my sister's car a lot,
but it has no CD player in it, therefore I tend to listen to whatever is on the Radio - sometimes I sing along if it's a nice tune.
A couple of months ago while driving through Edinburgh I had the window rolled down as it was a nice day - I stopped at a set of traffic lights and noticed a rather attractive girl walking along the pavement, looking directly at me.
At first I thought, "Woo - my animal magnetism is drawing her to me", then I realised I was singing rather loudly to 'More than Words' by Extreme. She was simply looking at me with pity and disgust.
I hate that song now.
