Come Up N's

At work when I was through cleaning
I grabbed two empty jugs I dropped 
When I saw three women talking,
I came up behind them and stopped

I said, "Just look at those big jugs"
They turned around when they heard that
I held up the jugs with a smile
In unison they said, "Oh, Pat!"

I turned and bumped into the boss
He asked me, "What did you just say?"
"Oh, uh, nothing", I just stammered
As I left, giggles faded away!

Hello PAT … and here was I thinking it was the jugs that you held in your hands. I giggled quite a bit when the penny dropped - thanks for the humour Pat - Lindsay

Thanks Chris! Sometimes weird stuff that comes out of my head isn't as funny to others as it seems to me. Maybe they could lighten up I figure!.............pat
