Yorkshire Humour 8

A Pastor restoring a picture frame
needed to replace some gold leaf,
upon asking the girl
at the Hardware shop.
“Do you have any gilt?”
She replied
“Sometimes it’s overpowering”

Nothing in all the world like British humor! I bet you wrote this with a straight face too but mine sure isn't. I needed some fun today Harry and you didn't disappoint. Thanks for all your dear comments, sure appreciate!

I'm glad he didn't pursue it any farther. Charles Oh! Harry, thanks for supporting me so well in my first year on the soup. It has meant a lot to me.
