Thread Name: Cheer me up PLEASE
Subject: RE: Cheer me up PLEASE
The joke about the Vasaline made me think about an incident that happened to me when I had just returned to ‘civilisation’ after twelve years in Shetland.

There was this market researcher in the town centre who seemed to be having a very high success rate in getting people to stop an answer her questions. This was not too much of a surprise, because as I found out when she approached me, she had a question that it was almost impossible not answer yes to. The question, that she would ask in a very loud voice was “do you use under-arm deoderant”?

You had to be very brave not to stop and talk to her, because the only way to do it was to answer no.

I said no and she was very suprised, I must have been the first one, by the look on her face.

But just in case there is anybody reading this that was there that day I do really,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, honest!

I hope that helps and remember, we work to live, we don’t live to work
