I bought a Christmas tree yesterday and the shop assistant asked....."Are you putting it up yourself"....................I said "No, I putting it in my living room"
I bumped into an old school friend the other day and I asked him what is he doing with himself these days...He told me he is working with drug addicts. violent offenders and alcoholics.
I said "That's brilliant. what are you a probation officer, community worker....social worker?"
