I sometimes play silly buggers when I know that my wife is going to ring me.

I usually pick up the phone & say ''JOE'S PIZZA''. Obviously she knows it's me.

The other day I was expecting a call from her & I answered ''JOE'S PIZZA''.

It wasn't her, it was from an overseas call center, Pakistan or India or something similar.

The guy on the other end got upset because I assured him that he'd rung ''JOE'S PIZZA'' & what would he like to order?

He got really upset & called me a f**king idiot. devil.gif

I told him that we didn't do Tandoori Chicken Pizzas & he hung up on me. laughing.gif

 When we visited Tassie, the wife & I pissed ourselves laughing as we walked past a Hop Sing Chinese Restaurant. Photographed it & sent it to my brother. Never thought one existed.

Maybe they are the same for cat funerals smile

 I haven't heard that one for years. It was all the go 60 years ago.

A work, when the internal phone rang, we used to answer with "Department of chips and shavings" - worked in a school's Industrial Arts department.
Science used to answer "Department of smells and bangs", Geography guys were the "Department of colouring in".

Good old days, when you could have a laugh at your own expense!
