Forget telling someone, you like their cooking,( or insert your option here ) so as not to hurt their feelings.

This is a variation on my Boss' Coffee theory.

First day on the job, you offer to make your Boss a cup of coffee.
You make the worst damn cup of coffee you can manage. I don't care what you put in it - be creative.
Boss never asks you to make him coffee ever again. Bonus points if the Boss takes pity on your terribly coffee making skills, and starts making YOU a coffee.

As for what I have learnt this week:
The only people that actually go to a nude beach are exactly the people that you most certainly do NOT want to see naked.

Cheers!

No matter how bad things look or you think your life sux, take five minutes to look around you, there are people in far deeper poo or are worse off than yourself.

This big,hairy,50 year old softy can get all choked up about his eldest child(daughter) finishing senior and going out into the big wide world.

Time for another beer.

Of course the boss theory goes out the door if you work in a coffee shop and yes all the wrong people go to nudist beaches......well so I have been told

I learnt something this week, one must listen to what one wife actually said before repling with a paper bag would be cheaper.
