Be careful what you say
Paul Marks (Northamptonshire)  How very odd!
Trackbacks to this post (0)

Yesterday I visited Warwick (both the castle and the town) - it was an interesting trip, but an odd thing happened that may amuse some people.

I was in the crypt of St Mary's Church Warwick and (observing my condition and the condition of the two friends who were with me) I said:

"Three bald men, gone red in the sun"

There was an odd silence from my two friends, and turning round I saw three, rather sun burnt, bald men - three thick set men, with tattoos.

I looked at them and they looked back. They smiled and I smiled and no fight resulted.

I wonder what the odds of this event were. The crypt was a small place and no other people were there.

Comments

A couple of points ...

1) What were you smoking?

2) So your knee jerk profiling was wrong.

3) You can't count.

4) Just what has this to do with the price of butter?

It means it was a hot day... I almost went to Warwick castle on Sunday, but ended up at Broadway Tower.

I see, the usual academic way of using 150 words when 7 would do......:-)
