Mr Chang phones in sick

[factormax]

"Morning Boss. 'Fraid I won't be coming in to work today. I feel really ill".

Oh no, Chang! We're working on a major project at the moment, and you know you're a key part of our team on this!

"Yeah. I know. Sorry Boss. I really don't feel too good".

Now look here, Chang, I need you to be here today! This contract is very important!
Between you and me, Chang, what I do when I feel like that is to go and make passionate love to my wife, and afterwards I feel much better. Why don't you try that?

"Dunno Boss. OK, I'll give it a try and call you back".

Two hours later...

"Hullo Boss. I did like you said, and I feel OK now. I'll be at work in half an hour.
By the way, Boss, you got a great house!".




*I first heard this joke years ago and, for the life of me I still don't understand why it involves a Chinaman.

Well I certainly can not help. I don't understand any of it!?!?

Really? He made love to his bosses' wife rather than his own at the suggestion of his boss taken too literally.

Nope still don't get it! Or is that the joke, there ain't one and the joke is on me ?

The full joke shows up in full on my computer but with Tapatalk on my iPhone two important lines are missing which means that the joke makes no sense.

I also don't know why it specifically involves a 'Chinaman'. The joke isn't particularly nationality specific.

Which just goes to show that you should not make jokes about Chinese and telephones - otherwise you might wing the Wong number.

Thanks, thought I had lost my sense of humour!
Look via the PC in the morning

I think it has some thing to do with the Winter Solstice and the Yule stating tomorrow!

Lacist...

Lacist...

Is that some type of strop leather? Beautiful NM paddle strop hand-made using English Pear Wood and finest, Lacist leather.

Perhaps it's a stich? Loake's latest model brogue with full Goodyear welt and unique Lacist stitch construction.

Scale material? Vintage Sheffield Sadsacks & No Sons straight razor with barber's notched blade, fully restored with modern, man-made Lacist scales, brass pins and matching Lacist wedge.

Apologies, stopped for a reading break, switched on lappertopper and typed a shile o' pite as usual! :angel:

Picking the book back up as I type, honest......

That reminds me... do you know what stitch is used specifically to get people's attention?

A hem.

Also picking the book back up as I type...
