Clever Boy.

It appears I have a skill that not everybody possesses. I can close down the nasal cavity at the back of my mouth using only the muscles in that area. This enables me to:

1) Occupy smelly places without being troubled.

2) Eat nasty-tasting things with abandon.

3) Talk as though I have a cold. This is particularly useful when I don’t want company.

I used to think everybody could do this, but apparently not. I can also wiggle both ears - independently. It gives my Stan Laurel impressions a cutting edge.

I sometimes wonder how I live with myself.

Keep working those tricks Jeff, you never know what else you might find ;)
Just tried closing the nasal cavity, thought I would suffocate!

You can do it! Well done. It does mean you have to breathe through your mouth of course, so it doesn't work under water. That was a pretty stupid thing to say really, wasn't it?

I do have another trick, actually. Do you want to hear what it is?

don't take this the wrong way, Jeff, but I think if you get to the states you might find yourself on David Letterman's Show performing this amazing feat for "Stupid Pet Tricks," NOT saying your stupid though ;)

What better forum for my genius, Wendy. Sounds about just the right level.

Yes Jeff, can you waggle your chin, I can :)

JJ said...

I've no doubt you're a great chin wagger, Mel. What Yorkshire lass wouldn't be? I see you as a bit like Eric Outhwaites' sister.

And I've decided not to tell you what my other skill is. Not drunk enough.

At the risk of being bayoneted in the stomach by one anonymous commenter, this was also meant to be ironic.
