A few rhymes/sayings that I always recite and make sure I do so, without fail:
When my dog farts:
Naughty dog, smelly dog, go outside and lay a log
Putting my daughter to bed:
Coconut head, coconut head, my little tiny baby has a coconut head. She’s got bananas for arms and bananas for legs, but my little tiny baby has a coconut head
This can only be sung if she’s lying in her cot, I won’t sing it in any other location. Not sure why.
When the missus is applying make-up in the bedroom:
Here I go, I’m gonna pat the boobies. Sneaking ‘round the back, to pat me some boobies. Up come my hands, to pat the boobies. I better get a grope before she kicks my goolies
(She hates this)
When her phone rings I always say ‘Your phone is ringing’, even if she is holding it
If I walk into the pub with my brother:
Bounce, bounce, bounce on the ground, you get a table, I’ll get a round. What do you want, you cunt?
Upon seeing a magpie:
Hello Mr. Magpie, how are you today? How are your wife and children? Apologies if you’re a female magpie
Always followed with a salute
Greeting my mums’ two cats (Yeti and Snowy) and the sheepdog Heidi – sung to the tune of Moloko’s ‘Bring it Back’:
Yeti’s white, Snowy’s black, Heidi’s both, but she’s not a cat
When descending stairs, I alternate the words ‘Bomp’ and ‘Splat’ in my head with each step. If I'm at home, I never look into the mirror at the bottom of the stairs in case I see a figure pass by on the landing behind me
Whenever I hear the ‘tax doesn’t have to be taxing’ bit of the related advert, I always add ‘But it helps’.
If I hear a car sound it’s horn:
Honky honk, he’s done a honk, beeping his horn like a twat.

I especially love the boobies/make-up song.
How your lady hasn't bludgeoned you to death with her hairdryer, I don't know.

And then wonder why.

....a genius! Keep doing this, you'll make the best most entertaining granddad in the world!
ps: I'm stealing "Bounce, bounce, bounce on the ground, you get a table, I’ll get a round. What do you want, you cunt? ", as it's a work of literary perfection.

Excellent :D
I've heard a similar magpie one before - my sister does it because then it's counteracts the "one for sorrow" superstition...

I just know it...

...you're nuttier than a fruit cake with extra walnuts.
EDIT: And pecans. And brazilians.
Fancy a beer?
EDIT^2: I'd still buy you a beer. Might be an interesting evening. Do I need to sign a waiver?

And I just know I'm going to end up going 'bomp splat'
This made me smile because it's magic, I liked it so much that I'll give it a click, and I think to myself - what a wonderful post.

For extra fun, it helps if you shuffle down the stairs on your backside - the 'bomp' and 'splat' seem to sound better this way.

"Upon seeing a magpie:

That's my only OCD "thing" - without the apology if they are female.
Now, I suspect I will add the apology too.
Damn you!

I'm sorry.
I read the same post as everyone else.
And I don't find it remotely endearing. You're a loon.
