How Anne Frank *Should* Have Told Her Story

I was heading in to work when I was accosted by a Big Issue seller outside the Tube station.

"Step by step guide to surviving the credit crunch!" he meeped, thrusting his last copy of The Big Issue at me.

My brain went TILT! The dichotomy of a bloke who'd managed to fuck his life up so badly that he was now clawing his way back into society by selling the Big Issue offering me advice on financial matters just blew a few circuits in my mind and I smiled inside.

Then I thought:

"Fuck it. Whatever advice he's offering can't be as bad as the advice the banks gave us that got us into this mess in the first place"

and I bought his last copy.

"There you go mate - you can go home now!"

Cheers

It's the way I tell 'em....

You've started an interesting concept here...

re-writing posts that have missed their appropriate target.

Actually

I've been doing that for years down the pub. I generally start off with:

"I heard about this bloke who......."

and then tell a story from B3ta...

Cheers
