Overheard

A party and a baptism together?
They wouldn’t do that again... never!
Someone said, ‘Cheese is nice.’
The priest heard, ‘Jesus Christ.’
Which stuck with that poor kid forever.

PS... if you hear that someone in the UK just got incinerated by a rogue lightning strike... it was nice knowing you all.

Thanks Linda. Yes, the lightning missed... so I chanced my arm and wrote ‘A Christmas Story’... think I’d better stay indoors for a while. Terry

Hi, Lindsay, couldn’t get back to you any sooner... I was too busy dodging thunderbolts! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks.
