Variation on a theme, and though it’s real and not a joke at all, it still made 'oi larf the first time I drove past.

What should you do if you steal a pet rabbit?
Make a run for it.

I saw that back in 1988 and it seemed odd then. Presumably there was once a ferry until the roads were improved.
I went on the Ferry when a kid on Hols with my parents.

So did i…
The Isle of Wight ferry to be precise, apparently however my 4 year old ears and brain misinterpreted the word slightly, and as we sat waiting in our Morris Minor near the slip dock i pondered in wonder how a fairy was going to carry us all across.

I had a similar mis-hearing when a young lad in Devon. It was on a small river, and my parents told me that the fairy would be coming to take us across. Imagine my disappointment when some chap in a rowing boat turned up.

I really can’t recall if I bave posted this already, so I’ll post it anyway …
I was watching a better than average comedian a while back, and he said that when he was a lot younger he went to his mother and said, “Mum, when I grow up I want to be a comedian.”
She said, “Well you can’t do both …”

That reminds me of a line from Dara Ó Briain on Mock the Week. He’d shared a newspaper article which had used him as a reference (with picture) for having a big head, and unsurprisingly the 6 panellists ruthlessly took the mickey out of him. When he protested Chris Addison commented “You exposed a weakness in front of 6 comedians, what did you expect?”. Dara’s reply was “I think of you as friends, I don’t think of you as comedians”.
