'Why has Brian got a larynx on his windowsill?' asked one of our visiting doctors. I thought it was a nose with a bandage on it, so it's probably just as well I don't teach our training courses. Still, larynx or nose, what it's doing on the windowsill remains a mystery.*
Big news in today's paper: a man is facing court after 'allegedly blowing the beanie off a man’s head with a firearm during a scuffle'.
There is an ad on at the moment that doesn't make a lot of sense. What a surprise. Well, the concept makes sense, in that I get how it relates to the product. There are two women in a restaurant. One of them starts to tell a story but at a crucial moment she freezes and starts buffering, because, you see, this is an ad for an ISP offering high speed broadband pointing out how annoying it is when things go slowly. I get that bit. What doesn't make sense is the reaction by the listening woman to the story she is hearing:
Woman 1: So Rachel was at the party and put her bag in Lisa's room.
Woman 2 (shocked): Oh my god.
Woman 1: She went to get her bag... (buffering)
Woman 2: And found Scott and Lisa in the middle of a… (buffering)
I think Woman 2 goes too early with her 'Oh my god'. Leaving a bag in someone's room is hardly worth having the vapours over, surely?
* Larynx update: It's there to remind him to order a new piece of plastic skin for it, as the old one is all cut up from people doing incisions on it. So now we all know.
