Frozen Crabs & the Blonde Stewardess

A lawyer boarded an airplane in New Orleans with a box of frozen crabs and asked a blonde stewardess to take care of them for him.

She took the box and promised to put it in the crew’s refrigerator.  He advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for them staying frozen, mentioning in a very haughty manner that he was a lawyer, and proceeded to rant at her about what would happen if she let them thaw out.

Needless to say, she was annoyed by his behavior.

Shortly before landing in New York , she used the intercom to announce to the entire cabin, “Would the lawyer who gave me the crabs in New Orleans , please raise your hand.”   Not one hand went up ….  so she took them home and ate them.

Two lessons here:

  1. Lawyers aren’t as smart as they think they are.
  2.  Blondes aren’t as dumb as most folk think.

Had to do a u-turn and get a side on image for my fellow cherished colleagues.. Continue reading “How not to unload a container”

Jet Lag!

Good Morning everyone!

We finally made it! I didn’t find much that I ‘must have’ in Changi – I’m determined not to go back with an extra suitcase again this year!

The flight was horrendous. I can usually fall asleep on a clothes line, but travelling in a nursery of screaming children is not conducive to even my sleep… To be fair, there were a number of beautifully behaved children – but, unfortunately there were about three who seemed to be able to detect exactly when I was about to drift off into slumber and set up a pretty good imitation of a wailing fire alarm… 😦 !

So here I am at 4.00 am and wondering just when I’ll be able to synchronise with UK time… I’ve finally got internet access. Bearsy still has to get a new sim-card for his mobile connection – he reckoned it was too wet and miserable yesterday to venture to the shops!
