Spotted outside a Christchurch cafe.
Smart people doing dumb things
A psychotherapist called Dean shared this story of being mildly mortified: "I'm 39-years-old. I have two degrees. I'm a doctor. I'm a member of a Royal College. I have had, unbeknownst to me, a sock up my shirt sleeve all morning." And others chimed in
with their own experiences…
1. "I have 2 degrees and a Masters but when I was 41 and my daughter was 3yrs old I attended a high powered meeting with a sticker on the back of my shirt that said 'I'm a good girl'".
2. "I'm 39yrs old. A qualified vet nurse…I once went to buy a sandwich in my break only to pull out a cat testicle with my cash that had fallen in my pocket whilst cleaning post surgery."
3. "I have 2 degrees and was standing at the train station a few years ago when I realised I had forgotten my skirt .... had spilled toothpaste on it - and taken it off to sponge off - got distracted, put coat on, grabbed bag, and forgot to put skirt back on."
4. "I once booked an appointment at a chiropodist/podiatrist because my foot hurt. When I got there, I discovered there was a comb in my shoe. I am bald."
5. I'm thick as mince. No degree…I once drove to a supermarket, walked home, went outside hours later & thought my car had been stolen. Reported it, as so, to the police. Wasn't until a further day I remembered I'd left it at the supermarket."
A wine aroma
Oz Clarke, a British wine critic, had described NZ Sauvignon Blanc as cat's pee on a gooseberry bush. Cooper creek, in typical Kiwi self-depreciating humour, followed with a wine to match.
