The wife loves me. She bought me a new jacket last week, said she got it for a great price. It's very nice, except that one sleeve is a bit shorter than the other two.

Girl ealks into a book shop

Looks at the assistant and says i am looking for authors who are good horse based thriller writers

He says

Do you like Dick Francis to which she replied

Yes i do, and how did you know my name is Francis?

Okay, while I'm here.

I wasn't very good in school. The teacher says to me one day, "Giner, tell the class one thing you're not very good at, beginning with the letter 'N'. "Spelling". I said.

I'm afraid arachnophobes get no sympathy from me here. Anyone who's scared of spiders should stay off the web.

You don't have to like them, just notice them. I remember someone kindly posting directions to the Imperial War Museum after I posted on facebook that I had wanted to go to their exhibition on camouflage but couldn't find it.

Oh, I liked your 'web' pun. It was one of those wincingly funny lines. I guess it's one of those responses that's hard to communicate in cold prose.

I dine out on a true story about the time i did a wedding ( chauffeuring) at a church opposite the IWM and they wwent into the grounds to have the pictures taken.
