The laughter died. It was doing all right, for a while there, we thought
it was making a recovery, but then, out of the blue, the laughter had a
sudden relapse and was also stabbed in the back forty-seven times with a
flagpole bearing the Swiss Naval ensign.

Since there is no more laughter we have been making do with quirky
half-smiles that sort of make you think we're up to something. Sorry for
the inconvenience.

What was the Swiss Naval ensign even doing on that flagpole? Doesn't
he know that flagpole sitting is passe?

Who you calling a passe? You want to make something of it? C'mon, just
try. You'll be bringing the full might and fury of the Swiss Navy down
on your head, like a ton of European armed forces.

I'm calling the practice of sitting on a flagpole passe. You wanna
make sumthin' of it?

Make something of a flagpole? I could make a great big toothpick but I
doubt that it will be very useful.

BTW, I've started listening to pod-casts during my commute, at the
moment I'm working through Escape-Pod's archives. Can anyone recommend
a humour cast?

Za! I am alive.

Nothing specific, I am afraid. I'd recommend Ricky Gervais' podcast - I
have only heard the free ones. I also listen to Bill Maher's podcast but,
the jokes come and go.

One show I'd absolutely recommend is NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. It's a
weekly news quiz show. It has weird news, bad puns, impromptu songs and
making fun of famous people. It's a bit US-centric but you probably won't
notice it that much. The more I think of it, the more I realise it is rhod
on radio.

Oh also, I am moving to the US for a couple of years.

Um, look, Jeff, the Swiss Navy says they stopped by your place yesterday
afternoon but you weren't around. Is there some time that's good for you
to suffer their full might and fury? Morning's not great, they're still
kind of jet lagged.

Mornings aren't good for me either, as I rarely get up before 9:00am
anyway. However, I'm booked solid for the next few days... I can
pencil them in for Wednesday, after dinner.

Ooooohh, that's not great. If we have to push their return tickets back
there's going to be a fee, plus I don't know if my wife will let them
stay in the bedroom another two days.

Look, do you think you could dunk your head in boiling chocolate and
lodge a cuckoo clock in a very uncomfortable place*, and we'll just call
it even? I'll owe you one.

*yep, the back seat of a VW Beetle.

I'm sorry, but no. That much chocolate isn't good for my diabetes and
I don't have a cuckoo clock.
