I have a poor memory for jokes. The ones I do remember for longer than an hour or two tend to be rather juvenile. Only two jokes remain with me from my childhood. When the despotic African leader Idi Amin was asked what he wanted to do about defense he replied “Paint it black”. I know, I know, but the second one is worse. “How do you see it?” the interviewer asked Cyril Smith, the gargantuan Liberal MP. “With a mirror on a stick,” he replied.
Imagine for a moment if you will, brushing your teeth whilst naked in the bathroom. A lapse of concentration and a large glob of minty froth drips from the brush....
Not so very long ago, such a thing wouldn’t have been a problem for me. When I looked down I couldn’t see my feet, let alone anything else below the navel. The drool would have decorated my paunch like bird droppings on a car windscreen. Now I am thinner and fitter though, it is quite a hazard. I can see more than my toes down there and there are places that Crest should never go.
