 Friday joke time, people
	Friday joke time, peopleI met a bloke the other night whom I hadn't seen in ages. I couldn't believe how well he looked. I went up to him and said, "Hi Bob, you're looking well."
"Oh yes, I'm feeling great", he replied. "Better than I've ever felt."
"So how's that then?" I asked. "Given up the fags?"
"No. Still on 40 a day".
"OK, well have you stopped drinking then?"
"No, I still like a few pints and a couple of nips every night".
"Well, is it a new woman in your life, or a new job? What is it?"
"No, none of those. I've given up worrying."
"So how do you manage that then", I asked, somewhat confused.
"I found a bloke on the internet who'll do it for me. All I do is pay him two grand a month, and he takes on all my worries".
"Well that sounds fine, Bob, but - and I'm not being cheeky here - but how can you afford two thousand a month?"
"Aye, well", said Bob. "That's his first worry!"
