Fillings don't just grow back, no matter how much you hope they will.

If a naked drunk man falls down, and there's no-one there to see it, it will still make your ceiling light wobble a bit.

Reading The Road != happy making, nor pleasant dreams. Reading The Road means you will sigh approximately ten times more than usual, and then dream about removing people's legs for nutritional noms.

If you make a slice of pate on toast, and then catch your cat eating it, do not forget, look down, get excited about finding pate on toast, and then eat it. This is the path to madness and worms.

If Kenny eats four double cheeseburgers, and a large fries, he will refuse to accept that this is the reason he has stomach ache in the middle of the night. It is a RANDOM event, caused by a butterfly in the rainforest, beating its wings.

Customers do not like it if you imply that they may be pedophiles, even if you do it in a light hearted, joking fashion.

If you find a baby at work, after thirty days are up and nobody has claimed it, it does not mean you are allowed to take it home.

Ancient Ashmore is the best cheese in the world.

Anyone else got any gems of wisdom to share? Feel like being enlightened.

I have nothing to share, but I have a strong urge to try this Ancient Ashmore - is it readily available in the supermarkets?

Nope. It's a local Canterbury cheese, and it is the most amazing thing you will ever taste in your life.

cathedral city is sufficient, colliers is more betterer due to being much stronger imo

I'm going to have to divvy up some Ancient Ashmore, and send it out. Little oxo cube sized morsels. First hit is free. After that...

Someone I worked with a few years ago was trying to convince everybody that his tooth "fell out... but its ok, it grew back". :\

Please explain this. Was there a very awkward silence just after the light hearted, joking implication? :)

It went a little like this:

CUSTOMER: "There's something I want to buy, and I've been trying to get hold of it for ages, but I can't find anyone that's selling it, and it's probably really hard to get hold of, and I very much doubt you'll be able to sell it to me, I haven't been able to find anyone that can. I just don't think you can really buy them."

ME "Is it a child?"

CUSTOMER: ...

ME ...

CUSTOMER ...

ME ...

CUSTOMER "It's a bagel warmer."

FIN

Oh, and then there was the time I made a guy dissolve into a fit of neurosis, and leave the shop.

ME: So, what do you think of the sofa? You can get it in black, brown or cream leather.

CUSTOMER: I don't like the cream leather. Don't you think it looks a bit eighties? Cream leather?

ME: Umm, I can't say that's the first thing that springs to mind for me.

CUSTOMER: You know, all porn emporium.

ME: It's interesting that that is the connection you make...

CUSTOMER: What? Oh, no, no! It's just I've been watching these films recently...

ME: ...?

CUSTOMER: NOT PORN FILMS!

ME: ...?

CUSTOMER: .... (Hasty exit stage right)
