school for scoundrels

J: Shane phoned on Valentine's Day - still insisting that the woman who phoned me isn't his wife!
D: Unbelievable!
J: Oh and Raj finally got in touch after nearly 3 months!
D: you're kidding! What was his excuse this time?
J: He said that he'd dislocated his elbow playing football 2 days after he'd seen me and that he'd been in hospital and rehab and couldn't text or phone!
D: 'Pathetic’ is the only word that comes to mind -they never cease to amaze me. The funniest thing of all is that they seem to have all attended the same school of bullshit.
J: oh how funny - I like the idea that men have to go to school somewhere to learn how to be an arsehole - god knows they don't start out that way. I think Chris must have gone to the same school as well and they all got top marks but none of them graduated with honours!

Mandy: c'mn Grim we're going up to look down the top of the mine shaft where the secret of the universe is going to be revealed
Grim: err...I'm not sure that's such a good idea. The secret of the universe was never meant to be revealed to mortal man......
Billy: why not?
Grim: because you'll do something stupid with it

oops...it's getting worse!

'you're building a volcano mum!'
'hey, it's supposed to be a snowman...'
'haha trust me it looks more like a volcano!'
'is everyone a critic?'
'well it's an awesome volcano'
'thanks darling'
