  • You wake panicked in the middle of the night when you sense you suddenly have room to move your body around the bed.
  • You can't sleep unless you hear lots of heavy breathing in your bedroom
  • The emergency number on your speed dialler is for the dog's veterinarian.
  • When someone taps you on the shoulder, you tell them firmly, "Off!", then "Down!".
  • When tempers flare among your family members, you pull out the long forefinger, pointedly raise your voice and shout "Go to your crates, now!"
  • When someone asks what's for dinner you automatically reply, "Kibbles and Bits".
  • When you are walking a ring around the local park and someone points at you and your dog, you raise both arms over your head, whoop and go looking for a ribbon.
  • When shopping, your best friend asks you what you think of that snappy suit in the window, and you scowl and mutter, "Useless, it is the same colour as my dog and it has no pockets."
  • When your neighbour points to her crawling infant and asks you what you think of her new baby, you study it for a minute and reply, "Well, a little short on coat and long in the hock, but that kid has a great top line!"

My husband works as a service technician for a large exterminating company

One of the rules of the company is that he has to confirm each appointment by phone the night before his service call to that household.

One evening he made such a call, and when a man answered the phone, he said, "Hi, this is Gary from A to Z Pest Control Company. Your wife phoned us."

There was a long silence, and then my husband heard the man on the other end say, "Honey, it's for you....someone wants to talk to you about your relatives."

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day.

"In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive.

In some languages though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative."

"However," he pointed out, "there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah. Right."

The 10 year old boy arrived home from school in a very sorry state.

Blood nose, two black eyes, scratches, clothes torn and muddied.

“Good heavens, John” exclaimed his mother, “what on earth happened to you?”

He blubbered out the story. “Well, you know Mr. Sodberry, the vice principal?”

“Yes.”

“Well, his wife works in the records office, and she happened to come across the records of our births.”

“So?”

“Well, you know how you called my sisters Jasmine, Rose and Violet?”

“Yes, and your name’s john, so what.”

“No it’s not! It’s johnquill. Its terrible.”

“Well, I had to stick to flowers, and you always get called John anyway.”
