steve_b_wales Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Never failing to amuse me with the things she comes out with, her latest was, There was an advert on TV, where you can take a photo using your mobile phone, and then turn it into a postcard. She commented, 'Where does the paper come out then'? After I stopped laughing, she admitted that many years ago, when mobile phones were relatively new, she wondered how you put money into the phone if you had a pay as you go contract. Believe it or not, she is 'very intelligent' and has the equivalent of a degree in Social & Health Care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernel gadaffi Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 They all have an innocence that create laughs at inopportune moments, on Saturday night, my current and myself were out for a snack, she says, "I think I'll have an omlette", my question was, "made with what?", "eggs of course", she piped up. Can't live with them, can't live with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Being intelligent and having common sense do not always go hand in hand. Depends how your wired up, seen quite a few very intelligent folk who don’t get everyday things we think nothing of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 A couple of years back I went on holiday on my boat, sailed it as far up the Thames until Osney Bridge then came back. On the return trip on the Thames we passed a lovely house, she said...……….. "Didn't we pass that on the way up?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redial Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Took the pigeons out on a training toss. The wife came along also. After releasing them. I told her about what time they would be back at the loft. She asked doesn't it depend on traffic. Thinking they followed the roads. True.

I have a great friend who's a speech and language therapist. genuine brains in the head, and superb at her job. at the age of 20, I told her Mexico was a floating island - sometimes it's near china, other times it's in the gulf of Mexico. She swallowed that nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Mine studied the weather forecast for about 15 minutes on her phone and then announced the best day for us to go to the local show was Wednesday.

margun Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Yesterday whilst queuing at Dover docks we were watching the big telehandlers moving the shipping containers about when mine piped up with “why are they called telehandlers, when they’re not moving tellies?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point for doing this was to 'try' and stop my post being derailed, as many other posts have been in the past. I WILL do the same again, even if someone else writes something and this also get's derailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
