Hi @Former-Member
Niqua
Brain magic verses long-sightedness - and astigmatism - believed me stripey clothing on other people and look really weird - maybe I get my own brain-magic in the supermarket - which is fine - no one else knows - except anyone who reads this today
So funny fact
Have you noticed that if you put your bins out in the evening before the trash collection the guys come around really late but if your forget - they arrive before sunrise
It happened to me this week
And on Monday - wonderful Monday - before I was ready for it I had two different teams with compressors using chains saws on the greenery growing around here too fast and another guy with a lawn-mower at 7.30 am - What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - at least it was all on the one day
And there is nothing precious about the Worm the Early Bird gets - I don't have to check - the worms are all the same all day long
Alll funny, random, strange and unusual facts - thanks @outlanderfor this chance for a random gripe about the truth in the suburban wilderness

A bit sad I know @outlander but I find silly 'facts' like that are good for a laugh which can be therapeutic.

Okay - time for some fun
Yes - I have a private laugh when I am asked for my PIN number - cause I actually don't think my Personal Idenification Number has a number of it's own
And - I also laugh when I am asked "What was your name?" - a dangerous question that because I am on my third surname - once I didn't think too long but gave my married name and the person searched for that name and asked how I spelt it and couldn't find it. After a while I said "I think you meant what my name is - not what it was" - I went away giggling and decided not to do that again but the temptation is soooooooooo strong.
Now comedians - like do we not all know these guys tell jokes. Why then do they make a statement and then say "Ahhh"- cause we get the joke - yeah - we do not need them to tell us that what they said was a joke
Just strange/unusual/funny/random - right - just the things that people say - right - but why?
