Life is mad busy today so no time for the usual *cough* finely honed blog entry, I will however grab the opportunity to write up a true story that makes me laugh.
A friend of mine works in the justice system and was present in court one day when this particular case was being heard. The man bringing the case had chosen to represent himself (as it were) rather than using a lawyer, and thus made an opening speech outlining the case. In closing he grandly said, "Those are the allegations your honour, and I am (brief pause while he searched for a term with suitable legal gravitas) ... the allegat-or!"
Cool!
Was talking with an old chap today who told me that back in the day they used to have concerts at the welfare hall and his dad, being good on stage, "used to au-pair the concert"
I like that one Phoebe!
Maybe there's a whole blog stream there on things we've said or heard where one word has morphed into something funny :-)
