"What? Now? It´s 3:00am!"
Watch out for RAndom DIY quotes! After hearing this British joke, the cultural aspect of it sheds new light on interpreting the undertone of these quotes. I mentioned this previously on my blog.
Cultural joke:
In France when a woman is having a romantic interlude, she says: "Sacré coeurs! Toujour amour!"
In Italy when a woman is having a romantic interlude, she says: "Sempre amore! Molto amore!"
In Britain when a woman is having a romantic interlude, she looks up and she goes: "That ceiling needs doing. It's all gone flaky! How about a fitting wardrobe? When are you gonna do something about that shed? I will have to bring a man in!"
May I suggest this bloke:
I don't think so!"
Ken Dodd who made this joke, is a fond reader of ´The Rover´, he once said in an interview with Dawn French (Vicar of Dibley). Yes, the circle is round again!
