All the time....

There's only one person "gets" me ...and she's a rabbit!

i have often had the tumbleweed moment

I know what you mean, Belle.

Other than the double entendres I enjoy coming out with, I have an occasionally leftfield sense of humour and not too many peeps get it.

Wow! You mean that the salesman actually believed in the existence of money trees?
You mean he really thought that you had a
genuine magical tree with money growing on it
in your garden?

You're lucky that he didn't come back with an axe to try and cut down your magic money tree and steal all that money for himself. That's what I would have done if I didn't know you were joking.

A week after my stairlift had been installed, the very helpful young man from the sales office of the company who I had initially talked with phoned me up and asked "What do you think of it so far?" I answered "Rubbish!"

He was so upset so I had to apologise and mutter something about him being far too young to remember Morecambe and Wise and their catchphrases.

Sometimes I can be really funny (well I think so) and when they don't get it and you have to explain it, its gone then has'nt it.

So many catchphrases date over the years. They're fine if you use them with someone of your age, but otherwise people can wonder what you are talking about. Before my time, back in the 1940s, there was a very popular radio program called ITMA (It's that man again) which used many catchphrases. One of them was "Shall I do you now sir?" (spoken by the cleaner). But if you went around now saying that, the chances are you would get punched or arrested.

someimes I say things which might sound like I'm being rude but I'm not Like when I'm being sold something that I think is too dear I'll say At least Dick Turpin wore a mask. Someimes they look at me blankly but the few who understand usually smile and begin to haggle

I got the daggers last time I said that.
They were using one can of Redbull type drink for 2 seperate glasses of drink, so they deserved that line imo.

As I don't have a sense of humour, I don't find these situations are commonplace at all.

Oh I don't know!
ITMA was ALL catch phrases and very little else as far as I can see.
It made a big impression on my parents though and they used to trot out various ITMA catch-phrases all their lives - "it's being so cheerful as keeps me going" (Mona Lott) "I don't mind if I do" (Colonel Chinstrap) “After you Claude. No, after you Cecil”,"TTFN" (Ta ta for now) "This is Funf speaking" - (Funf, the German spy). "I go - I come back" - (Ali Oop); etc.
So I grew up with them too and so did quite a few people I know. I actually heard one of the old ITMA programmes played on the radio a couple of years ago - I found it excruciatingly unfunny but the catch-phrases brought back memories of my Mum and Dad and many of their contemporaries. I know quite a few people who still use them now - AND know their origin.

Bugger me, you mean you can go to bed now?

I am lucky, no-one ever listens to me, especially the wife, so nobody realises I don't have a sense of humour.

I certainly hope that not every poster on this forum is so unwelcoming to Newbies.
