Another family quote and a Batty Books joke
It was my birthday last Saturday and I made a crazy chocolate cake for myself. Unfortunately, I had a series of interruptions whilst I was preparing the batter and the vinegar started working too soon with the raising agent. When I finally took the cake from the oven, the surface was very bumpy, not smooth like it should be.
"Don't worry" said my dear husband. "I'm sure it tastes as good as ever. Just issue us all with 4x4 forks to eat it with!"
If you were around in Britain at the beginning of the 80's you must be familiar with a set of jokes called Batty Books. These 'books' had a title and an author and while some were unrepeatable, many others were hugely ingenious and often very funny.
Here are a few that I can remember:
@ Babysitting by Justin Casey Howls
@ Never give up by Percy Vere
@ The fall of the watermelon by S. Platt
@ The long walk by Miss D. Bus
@ A post script by Adeline Extra ...and so on.
Well, as you know it's summer here and many days end tomorrow and, as I scrunched up the stairs to bed late last Wednesday night, I made up another Batty Books joke which went like this:
Successful beach parties by Sandy House
Get the DRIFT? There's just a GRAIN of truth there. O.K. I'll stop, please don't DESERT me!

Summer joke
There were these two elephants arguing over who should go in the
swimming pool first.
I said, 'Why don't you both go in at the same time?'
They said, 'We can't. We've only got one pair of trunks between us!'

Some jokes
Here are two jokes that M. has recently made up:
What do you call an egg with lots of letters?
A scrabbled egg!
What did one detective pencil say to his colleague when they found themselves in a huge, unknown bag?
This...is a pencil case!
I'm proud of him. This shows how much control he has over the English language. It might be his mother's tongue but, just like the others, he has learnt three languages at the same time.
