A few funny things from work

With it being the day of Odin (or Wodin), that is to say, Wednesday, I had the great privilege of a day at THQ.

I was kindly woken at around 6.00am and felt obliged to go to the station to go to work. As is the custom on mornings that I take the train, I picked up a "Metro", which I heard described as "a watered down Evening Standard, ready for early morning reading". I was astounded to find an article that caught my eye, purely because of the appearance of Daffyd, the only gay in the village, which stated an unbelievable fact.

In a survey by Padova University and the Royal Society, 200 men were questioned and astonishingly, 79% of homosexual men were gay.

Then something struck me. If only 79% of homosexual men are gay, that means the other 11% of homosexual men aren't gay. Surely 100% of homosexual men should be gay?

Anyway, I got off the train and was met by one of those pesky magazine distributors. In my early morning lack of concentration, I erred and made eye contact with her. she thrust a magazine into my hand and moved on to her next victim.

"What did she hand you?", I hear you ask.

A magazine called GAT
That is Girl About Town. Do I look like a girl? Do girls have low voices, stubble and wear a suit? No!

Even more troubling was the fact that the first page I opened to was the tuition adverts, offering such delights as IT training, spiritual healing and pole dancing lessons!
Does the magazine woman really think I can make it as a pole dancer?

The day at work itself was pretty average, though I did have a bit of banter with RSA, when I attempted to kick Paul as he was leaning over. RSA suggested that the notion of kicking him was rather tempting, especially as it was Paul.

Expressions is tomorrow, so you will probably get a write up on Friday. we can expect a great evening, with some "quality tunes" (to use street talk)
