Correcting colleagues

This evening Jules was talking about what he did at work today, when he mentioned this gem.

"The other day my colleague Pavil* mispronounced 'tight' like 'taught'. So I corrected him by saying its 'toight'**, but then I realised I had mispronounced it too, but it was funny so I didn't say anything. Now I find I keep 'correcting' the way he pronounces words with funny versions."

I personally wonder how long it will be before one of his other colleagues finds out about this and tells Pavil....

*From Poland
**(Same as 'toight like a tiger from Austin Powers)

Paint yourself

Today while watching a television advert about running Jules said
"Do you think you would be able to run faster if you painted yourself brown? You know, because black people run faster..."
Yep. More than a little bit racist. And stupid too. Wow.

First post!

So, my friend and current housemate Jules sometimes says some strange things. Like in college whenever anyone asked him what the time was he would respond with "Tuesday". He also always starts conversations with "great". Nothing else. Just "great".

Today while out food shopping he came out with a good one:

"Ooooohh! Could get cake for lunch at work tomorrow!"

Not too strange a thing for someone to say I hear you cry. And of course if this was all I would be inclined to agree. But he did follow it up with this:

"What goes... with.... itself.....?"

Thats right. Tomorrow this fully grown man, this bearded sensible electronic engineer will be having just cake for lunch tomorrow. Raspberry sponge no less. Sainsburies own. Other brands are available...
