Just be careful because people are going crazy from being in lock down! Actually I've just been talking about this with the microwave and air fryer while drinking coffee and we all agreed that things are getting bad. I didn't mention anything to the washing machine as she puts a different spin on everything. Certainly not to the fridge as he is acting cold and distant. In the end the iron straightened me out as she said everything will be fine, no situation is too pressing. The vacuum was very unsympathetic... told me to just suck it up, but the fan was more optimistic and hoped it would all soon blow over! The toilet looked a bit flushed when I asked its opinion and didn’t say anything but the door knob told me to get a grip. The front door said I was unhinged and so the curtains told me to pull myself together!

A woman on a bus is reading the Courier Mail. She is so astonished by a story on life expectancy that she turns to the stranger beside her and says ‘Do you know that every time I breathe, somebody dies?’
‘Fascinating,’ says the old Queenslander, ‘ever tried mouthwash?’
