Last night I dreamt that I went to the beach, and the waves were like orange fizzy pop.

I think it was a Fanta Sea.

Last night I dreamt that I was swimming in an ocean of Tango.

But when I woke up I realised it was just a Fanta Sea.

Last night I broke down and asked someone for a hand.

"Sorry, I'm not a mechanic. I'm a Chiropodist,"

"OK," I said. "Give me a toe."

I've removed the labels from the herbs in the spice rack and swapped them around.

I don't think my wife has noticed... but the thyme is cumin.

I've just swapped 50 raisins for 100 sultanas. I can't believe the currant exchange rate.

But I believe its about to improve - I've heard so on the grapevine.
