I had to share this one

My husband grew a lovely beard for Movember (it's a men's charity thing here in the UK, fab facewear time lol) and finally shaved it off this morning.... I convinced him to leave a handlebar moustache behind so I could just see what it would look like...so this morning he did.

O....M....G.... He looks like a police inspector from a dodgy 1970's cop drama!!!! We were all in fits, and I haven't laughed so much in ages

We convinced him to wear it to work for a day and talk like Mario or Waluigi. It's immense. He's a good sport - I love him so much

Can't stop smiling whenever I think of it!

Bram.

Oh Bram, that is awesome! Absolutely priceless.

Did the folks he works with enjoy it? If they didn't, he needs to start looking for a new job because nobody should have to spend the day with the sort of people who didn't enjoy that. I'm sure he had them laughing all day.

Excellent stuff. Good man.

Aww thanks! Yes they did like it - he was quite surprised, I think he expected some serious ribbing...

We've almost convinced him to give it a bit longer it's really growing on me actually!!

My stupid thought was:

Why, when my cats are washing, do they stop and look me in the eye before doing that cat thing of slinging their leg over their shoulder and washing their unmentionables? They both do it. Weird. Wrong.

If anyone else has a random, distracting, funny thought, it would be great if you could share it. I need a few smiles

Thanks guys

Bram.
I have a yorkie.The other day I made a coat for her.I put it on her,she acted like she was walking on her tippy-toes.It was funny to see..

Moosey, this made me smile - my cocker spaniel can tiptoe... She does it when she tries to sneak upstairs without us noticing. It's absolutely hilarious because when we speak to her she turns and just looks so incredibly guilty! How do they manage it?!

Love pets. How great to have a creature in your life that makes you smile, comforts you when you're down, and never ever criticizes you or passes judgement on what you are doing. Being soft and furry, and not being able to speak are great assets lol

Too cute, Moosey. That reminds me of when my beagle was a puppy. She used to pick up her food bowl (in the style of Snoopy) and carry it around as a request to be fed. The problem was, the bowl was a bit too big for her and she had to lift her head way up and kind of go on tippy-toes on her front paws.

Has your yorkie gotten used to the coat?
