"Recently I had to purchase an aerator for a tap," explains Murray. "This item fits on the end of a tap and distributes the water flow evenly. I went to Bunnings in Cambridge and found there were two types of aerator -- a male and female.Without thinking I asked the shop assistant what was the difference between male and female. I am 77 years old. He looked at me and said: 'You're a bit old to be asking that question.' With that we both roared with laughter. The male item has thread on the outside and female on the inside. As the old saying goes, 'you're never to old to learn'."

A class in England took a trip to Cyprus. However, their return was knocked off schedule when an easyJet flight was delayed 20 hours due to foggy conditions. The students were supposed to return to school on November 2nd, but didn't make it until the 3rd. While they waited for the fog to clear, easyJet pilot Wayne Mott jokingly offered to write school excuses for anyone who wanted. The entire class took him up on the offer! His note to one student read as follows: "I am very sorry that Joshua was not at school today. He has been involved in a secret mission in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea at very short notice. We hope that this mission will soon be complete and that he will see you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on Tuesday morning."
