Off the top of my head, 4 months is my longest memory lapse in that category.
Long before any of the online checks of course.

never seen or heard of the little electronic MOT reminders.
Good idea though.

Sarg, what's this on board computer thingy you got to remind you of MOTs?
That's a BMW only thing innit?

No idea on what you call a guy who can't see colours.

Is anyone watching Arrested Development?
I feel like I'm the only one.

Few more and couple of real life stories





>>>>>

On a flight, a man asks a beautiful lady sitting next to him: "Nice perfume. Which one is it? I want to gift it to my wife"

Lady: "Don't give it to her. Some Idiot will find an excuse to talk to her!!!"

>>>>>

Dear Lord,

I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; and Patience for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death.

AMEN

>>>>>

Q: What do you call an intelligent, good looking, sensitive man?
A: A rumour

>>>>>

A flight attendant on an airline's cross-country flight nervously announced: about 30 minutes outbound from LA, “I don’t know how this happened, but we have 103 passengers aboard and only 40 dinners.”

When the passengers’ muttering had died down, she continued, “Anyone who is kind enough to give up his meal so someone else can eat will receive free drinks for the length of the flight.”

Her next announcement came an hour later. “If anyone wants to change his mind, we still have 29 dinners available!

>>>>>
