Lame…

It is generally agreed around these parts that Borys is a woman of little or no sense of humour.  I personally think I have a finely tuned sense of the absurd and often find hilarity where others do not.  I enjoy the dark, the deliberately obtuse and also have to own a tendency towards schadenfreude as I occasionally (okay… frequently) find the unfortunate sides of human behaviour vastly amusing from time to time.

The generally humourless thing though… it comes with back pain.  Habitual, painful irritability and laughter just don’t seem to coexist easily it seems.

But, here’s an oldie but a goodie as they say… and I mean a REAL oldie.

One Roman jape dating back to the 1st Century BC details the Emperor Augustus touring his realm and coming across a man who bears a striking resemblance to himself.

Intrigued, he asks the man: "Was your mother at one time in service at the palace?"

The man replies: "No your highness, but my father was."
