Ride to remember
Mike writes on his Easter show adventure: "Our family of four [mum, dad and two boys] were on the Ferris wheel which they load slowly one carriage at a time. We're sitting in our carriage up near the top enjoying the view and waiting for the ride to start when our 4-year-old starts clutching himself, pulling pained faces - he is busting and really needs to go. Thank goodness they had given us the ride tokens in a cup when we bought them. We emptied out the tokens and held the cup while the little guy filled it. I then had to sit for the rest of the ride holding a cup of warm pee hoping for no sudden jolts or excessive swinging. He is now proudly telling people peeing in a cup was the best part of the trip."
Slow to spot mistaken identity
Tales of brain fade: "One of my ex-colleagues used to suffer brain-fade on a regular basis, such as reaching into her handbag for her mobile and pulling out her home phone, or, on one occasion, her TV remote. My favourite though was the melon episode. She used to bring lunch every day. Nothing fancy, just a couple of sandwiches, maybe some crisps, and a slice of melon. One Monday, she complained that the melon she'd bought wasn't very nice; it was hard, a bit dry and not very tasty. Reasoning that it probably wasn't ripe, she soldiered on and said she'd put it somewhere warm to ripen up overnight. This happened again on Tuesday. And Wednesday. On Thursday she came into the office and announced that she'd found out why her melon wasn't very nice: It was a pumpkin." (Source: B3ta.com)
