PurpleCanary 5,562 Posted March 20, 2020 Not a joke but in one of the Hitchhikers' books there is this story about a planet where the inhabitants who do useful and creative jobs decide to get rid of all the useless workers, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitisers. So they pretend civilisation-ending doom is about to befall the planet and load all the useless lot into a spaceship, saying everyone else will follow later. Of course they never do. And the sting in the tale is that all those who stay behind, the useful and the creative, end up getting wiped out by a virulent plague caught from a dirty unsanitised telephone... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benchwarmer 625 Posted March 20, 2020 "When asked how he would deal with the coronavirus outbreak, the Prime Minister said 'I'm washing my hands' . . ." I've seen some comical things in the panic buying frenzy, like a lady with 12 bottles of catering size maple syrup. What is she going to do with it? (No, let's not go there . . .)

benchwarmer 625 Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Not a joke exactly, but the following encounter outside a slightly upmarket coffee shop in the city today made me smile. The owner was packing away the chairs and tables. A customer came up and asked if they were doing takeaway. "No, it's not allowed" he said, rather rudely. "But there are others . . ." the customer began to reply. "Well they shouldn't, it's AGAINST THE LAW . . . err, um, it's a loophole that must be closed". I got the clear impression that he thought it was beneath his dignity. "Takeaway? Moi?" Edited March 21, 2020 by benchwarmer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benchwarmer 625 Posted March 21, 2020 Another little bit of irony. Supermarkets have been recruiting extra staff to do deliveries and cover for those with school age children at home. Retired staff are coming forward in droves. My checkout lady this morning was 75 if she was a day! Not sure how that fits in with government advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didnt make her fetch her own blanket. She didnt have to leave the shed once yet.😂 ps I dont take moral high ground, just find your little prediliction for scantily clad young ones a bit tragic. So I rib you a little about it.There's a difference. Edited March 23, 2020 by wcorkcanary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,952 Posted March 23, 2020 Went to get a few bits earlier and due to the panic buying, shelves were stripped pretty much bare, so had to just grab whatever I could find.... As a result, I have just tried Crab paste for the first time... It tastes ****ing disgusting - how anyone eats that **** is beyond me... taking it straight back to the pharmacy in the morning. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
