I remember a letter in Amiga Power that mentioned the best line to say when someone mentioned Timbuktu. It was: "Tim bucked two? I haven't even bucked one yet!"
I had a similar joke which I had never had the opportunity to use. Until today. Gary was moaning about how everyone at the office was away next week.
"Ben's off. Craig's off. Matt's off. Helen's off."
I saw my chance.
"Dino's off too."
Gary looked at me strangely as though he was trying to work out who the hell Dino was in our team. Then he realised. And laughed.
So it was a funny joke. My work there was done.
Unfortunately it was 11 and I had to stay for another four and a half hours.
SQUASH UPDATE:
Last week I finally beat Natalie at squash, but it was decided that this was because she had eaten two sandwiches rather than one. Indeed we drew again today. After I went 3 games ahead & then faded A-Rod style to let Natalie draw three all. I did manage to smash the ball against the back wall and reach the front wall which was a personal target I managed to hit.
But then I played Helen who was rather good at squash and she wiped the floor with me. Bah.

I get up...
...and nothing keeps me down
Except for the fact that I stayed up until 3.30am this morning watching the Ashes on Sky. So I think I'll be spending a lot of tomorrow in bed. In fact I was half asleep by seven tonight so I think it shouldn't be too hard to drop off.
I've been tired all week so watching the Ashes was a very foolish thing to do. So was drinking three Wobblies* during the match so I woke up feeling like someone shat in my cereal.
So my new rule is to go to bed at exactly the same time that Freya does. Hopefully that should reduce my tiredness somewhat. Also I should really start doing some sort of exercise. I remember coming home drunk two weeks ago and doing a bizarre hopskotch move for a long stretch of pavement and feeling quite knackered after it. If I feel fitter then I'll probably feel less tired.
Let's see.
Oh and I've moved to the new blogger thing. This means I can add tags to posts (prediction: 'tired' will be the most popular tag) but nothing else looks different. Well not at first glance anyway.
* Wobblies = Warsteiner - the Queen of beers apparently
