Laura and the hilarious joke in the Spar

I have to tell you about the hilarious joke I made in the Spar the other night. I will 'set the scene' for you.It was Friday and Alan and I were jubilant that it was the end of the week. We had just enjoyed a delicious and nutritious carvery meal at the Greenhills. I had my usual scrumptious treacle sponge and custard for pudding and Alan had his usual chocolate fudge sensation ice cream. One week he forgot what it was called and asked for a 'chocolate fudge foundation' and then this led on to me calling it a 'BTEC fudge foundation'. I am not sure if this joke will translate onto the pages of facebook or whether you had to 'be there' but anyway, it was hilarious and now I say every week, 'Are you having a BTEC fudge foundation?'Anyway, I digress. We were on our way back to my humble chateau via the Spar. I had to pop in for some basics and I selected bread, crisps and bin bags and took them to the counter.The man on duty must have been in a comedy mood because he said to me, 'I see you are having crisp butties for your tea?'I answered as quick as a flash,'Yes and a bin bag for afters!'He didn't laugh. Clearly, I had won the joke war and he must step down and let me claim my title. He looked really annoyed as he packed my 3 items into a carrier bag and I could only conclude he was a very sore loser.I couldn't stop laughing at my own joke all the way down Garston Old Road. Alan found the joke amusing for a short while and then begged me to stop as my raucous laughter was causing me to have embarrassing convulsions in the street.'I can't help it!' I pleaded through helpless laughter.'I'm just too funny!'I think it is important to always be a big fan of your own jokes
