"If it works it's not cheating"

A conversation where the answer to everything became:
"Have you tried painting him with mud?"

Here's a great one I heard on the radio this week, which I'd like to dedicate to 'a dear friend', from Old Harry's Game:
"I'm Satan. Nothing scares me... except Anne Robinson... and cycle couriers."

Epic Exam Preparation

This afternoon I had a Greek exam. To say I wasn't looking forward to it would be an understatement of epic proportions, if that's not some kind of paradox!.

That was until about ten minutes before kick-off, when we somehow managed to work out what the passage for translation would almost certainly be. Thankfully, I had read it twice already that morning, with the same suspicion. Others even less familiar with the Bible than myself (yes, it's possible apparently) were a bit panicked by not being able to remember much of it. So an acquaintance sitting another exam at the same venue kindly lent me a Bible.

Thus, I found myself standing on the steps of the Temple of Peace, an umbrella held up in one hand, a Bible in the other, loudly proclaiming the word of the Lord to a small crowd of completely rapt first years.

Just bizarre!
