I wonder whether the Sub-Editor did it on purpose to see if his boss was paying attention - In which case obviously not.

Maybe the Subby is on his last week before starting with a new firm and had been sharing the odd hauf and hauf with his current colleagues.

Has anyone else noticed that time feels like gravity - The further you go the faster it gets.

If I have said it before then I obviously missed it because it was going so fast then it was all a blur.

Take care to ensure that you do not meet yourself coming the other way.

Clever.
My response was too short for posting rules, consider this sentence irrelevant.

You decide to fire up some 'heritage' audio kit; You find an old vinyl record.
You realise that you are not actually listening to the music when you spot:

33+45=78.

Rather like saying that you know something like the back of your hand and then noticing some little white spots...

They will have to change the lyrics after all these years.

Thanks Trumpy McTrumpface.

There I was sat in the cafe at Asda drinking a cup of coffee and eating a jam doughnut.
Another customer leans across and says "You always seem to be eating jam doughnuts, that could be bad for you. At your age you need to mind your blood sugar..."
I said "Well my Grandmother lived until she was 97"
He said "So did she eat a jam doughnut every day?"
I said "No, she used to just mind her own business"
