I had to make a dentist appointment today and the receptionist offered me 2.30 on Monday. I laughed (that old chestnut!). She stared at me. I said "2.30? Get it? Tooth hurty?". She just raised her eyebrows at me. I mean, it's got to be one of the oldest jokes around but she just gave me a pained kind of "let's just be nice to the mad lady" forced smile. I can't work out if she's never heard it (impossible in a dentist surely?) or is just sick of it (entirely possible!). Either way, I was delighted with it 🤣

@kcarruthers@mastodon.social @mpesce@arvr.social @stufromoz@aus.social Late to this shroom party but I am HERE NOW and I have Lurpak.
@sister_ratched@toot.community I remember that one well! I was in Year 9 and we got given half the day off. I went to my friend's place - we had it on her tiny portable b/w TV and we peeked out the window as it got darker and darker and the birds all went quiet. In the middle of the day. It was a surreal experience for sure!
@purserj@aus.social @3wombats@aus.social I guess the only surprise is how quickly it happened and good on the photographer for owning up to it immediately. I suspect there are many who would not have.
@olivewhippet@mstdn.social Elmo has rate limited unverified people to reading 600 tweets a day, verified get to read 6000. Right now I can see tweets and RT but I can’t actually tweet. I went back as I missed so many people (13 years tends to build rapport!) and it’s gotten worse and worse and worse. The last 24 hours are possibly its dying gasp.
@NoelJPenaflor@bbq.snoot.com Magnificent! I saw this literally minutes after booking a flight to NZ for next year :)
@odinstoenail@aus.social I know but she was quite young so I wasn't sure. And if she hasn't heard it, she has now!
