A slip of the tongue, a misplaced comma, a lapse in concentration. All are easily done and all can have hilarious consequences, as the author - a schoolteacher of some forty years" experience - has witnessed. Whether holding forth on pubic amenities and facilities; carless drivers; or a beautiful jewel the size of a bottle of Tipp-Ex, the comments recorded in these pages will have you giggling every bit as much as Shakespeare"s bumbling fools, and the beauty is, the authors have no idea just how funny they are!
